25. Stochastic Analysis of Flexural Strength of RC Beams Subjected to Chloride Induced Corrosion
Importance of consideration of chloride induced corrosion in service life design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures situated in marine environment is well known. This paper attempts to provide, within the framework of Monte Carlo Simulation, methodologies for durability based service life design of RC members. A methodology using fragility curves is prop

26. Yellow fever impact on brown howler monkeys (Alouatta guariba clamitans) in Argentina: a metamodelling approach based on population viability analysis and epidemiological dynamics
In South America, yellow fever (YF) is an established infectious disease that has been identified outside of its traditional endemic areas, affecting human and nonhuman primate (NHP) populations. In the epidemics that occurred in Argentina between 2007-2009, several outbreaks affecting humans and howler monkeys (Alouatta spp) were reported, highlighting the

27. Uncertainty analysis of flexible rotors considering fuzzy parameters and fuzzy-random parameters
Abstract The components of flexible rotors are subjected to uncertainties. The main sources of uncertainties include the variation of mechanical properties. This contribution aims at analyzing the dynamics of flexible rotors under uncertain parameters modeled as fuzzy and fuzzy random variables. The uncertainty analysis encompasses the modeling of uncertain

28. Uncertainty analysis of a flexible rotor supported by fluid film bearings
AbstractThis paper is dedicated to the analyses of the effect of uncertain parameters on the dynamic behavior of a flexible rotor containing two rigid discs and supported by two fluid film bearings. A stochastic method has been extensively used to model uncertain parameters, i.e., the so-called Monte Carlo simulation. However, in the present contribution, th

29. In silico Antibacterial Activity Modeling Based on the TOMOCOMD-CARDD Approach
In the recent times, the race to cope with the increasing multidrug resistance of pathogenic bacteria has lost much of its momentum and health professionals are grasping for solutions to deal with the unprecedented resistance levels. As a result, there is an urgent need for a concerted effort towards the development of new antimicrobial drugs to stay ahead i

30. Main factors that affect the economic efficiency of broiler breeder production
This study aimed at identifying the factors that affect the economic efficiency of broiler breeder production using the analysis of stochastic profit frontier function. Data were collected in 48 broiler breeder farms contracted by a commercial company located in southwestern Paraná, Brazil. The collected data refer to the last batch of fertile eggs that was

31. Stochastic multi-scale analysis of homogenised properties considering uncertainties in cellular solid microstructures using a first-order perturbation
Randomness in the microstructure due to variations in microscopic properties and geometrical information is used to predict the stochastically homogenised properties of cellular media. Two stochastic problems at the micro-scale level that commonly occur due to fabrication inaccuracies, degradation mechanisms or natural heterogeneity were analysed using a sto

32. Evaluating the influence of defects on the young's modulus of carbon nanotubes using stochastic modeling
The main goal of this research is to investigate the influence of structural defects on the mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Two different types of the structural defects called Stone-Wales and vacancy defect are studied. While the former is categorized under the process-induced defect and it appears during the growth process o

33. Risk assessment of finishing beef cattle in feedlot: slaughter weights and correlation amongst input variables
The objective of this study was to evaluate the risk associated with finishing crossbred Charolais × Nellore steers in feedlot at different slaughter weights (425, 467 or 510 kg), considering or disregarding the correlation amongst random input variables. Data were collected from 2004 to 2010 and used in the simulation of the financial indicator Net Present

34. Early detection of metabolic and energy disorders by thermal time series stochastic complexity analysis
Maintenance of thermal homeostasis in rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD) is associated with changes in their thermal balance. The thermodynamic relationship between heat dissipation and energy storage is altered by the ingestion of high-energy diet content. Observation of thermal registers of core temperature behavior, in humans and rodents, permits identificati

35. Relationships between structure of the tree component and environmental variables in a subtropical seasonal forest in the upper Uruguay River valley, Brazil
This study aimed to analyze relationships among the structure of the tree component, edaphic variables and canopy discontinuity along a toposequence in a seasonal upland (hillside) forest in southern Brazil. Soil and vegetation were sampled in 25 plots of 20 × 20 m each. We described the vegetation in terms of structure, richness and diversity, as well as b

36. Simulation and economic analysis of bovine sex selection
A simulation model implemented in the programming software Delphi XE® was applied to evaluate sex selection in bovine. The hypothesis under investigation was that a dynamic model with stochastic and deterministic elements could detect the sexed semen technique to minimize pregnancy cost and to determine the adequate number of recipients required for in vivo
