1. Newborns at high risk for brain injury: the role of the amplitude-integrated electroencephalography
Abstract Objective: Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) is a simplified bedside neurophysiology tool that has been implemented in the neonatal intensive care unit and studied in an extensive range of clinical applications in the past decade. This critical review aimed to evaluate a variety of clinical applications of aEEG monitoring in diagno

2. Effectiveness of galvanic vestibular evoked myogenic potential for evaluation of Meniere’s disease
Abstract Objectives: Although the cause of Meniere’s disease (MD) is not fully understood, endolymphatic hydrops is widely believed to be responsible for MD. Previous studies have used Air-Conducted Sound (ACS)-induced Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMPs) to evaluate otolithic function in patients with MD. However, the use of Galvanic Vestibular

3. Estimativa do coeficiente de transferência de massa de oxigênio com o uso da técnica das sondas solúveis flutuantes: um estudo de laboratório
RESUMO A sonda solúvel flutuante (SSF) é considerada uma técnica de baixo custo para a estimativa do coeficiente de transferência de massa de oxigênio na interface ar-água (KL). Essa técnica se baseia no fato que KL pode ser correlacionado com a velocidade de dissolução do sólido solúvel (VS), uma vez que ambos os parâmetros são influenciados pe

4. Pipeline Stress Analysis Through Stress Function Fittings
Abstract This work presents a hybrid experimental technique for stress analysis in pipes due to soil-pipe interaction. It was used a variation of Digital Speckle Pattern Interferometry (DSPI) combined with a small indentation setup for acquiring radial displacement points. Data collected are fitted under the Airy stress functions method for the determination

5. DINÂMICA ECONÔMICA E CICLOS DE NEGÓCIOS NA ECONOMIA BRASILEIRA: EVIDÊNCIAS PARA O PERÍODO PÓS-REAL
Resumo O exame dos ciclos de negócios da economia brasileira no pós-Real faz-se tema pertinente quando considerado que esse período indica a existência de choques de oferta e de demanda. Buscando testar essa evidência, fez-se uso de dois modelos: o Money-in-the-Utility function (MIU) e o Cash-in-Advanced (CIA). As economias artificiais simuladas - padr�

6. Application of a Greedy Algorithm to Military Aircraft Fleet Retirements
ABSTRACT This article presents a retirement analysis model for aircraft fleets. By employing a greedy algorithm, the presented solution is capable of identifying individually weak assets in a fleet of aircraft with inhomogeneous historical utilization. The model forecasts future retirement scenarios employing user-defined decision periods, informed by a cost

7. Phytotoxicity of Perlatolic Acid and Derivatives
ABSTRACT Perlatolic acid (1), methyl perlatolate (2), and the products of perlatolic acid alcoholysis-namely, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, and n-hexyl 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-6-n-pentylbenzoate (3-11)-were evaluated for their herbicidal potential on Lactuca sativa L. (lettuce) and Allium cepa L. (onion) seeds. Th

8. Developing corridor choice model under hypothetical Variable Message Sign based traffic information
Abstract The article presents development of a closed-form corridor choice model under hypothetical variable message sign (VMS) based traffic information. A single VMS board is assumed to display traffic information at a junction of two alternative and competitive traffic corridors connecting two catchment areas in Kolkata city, India. The corridor choice mo

9. A nuclear ribosomal DNA pseudogene in triatomines opens a new research field of fundamental and applied implications in Chagas disease
A pseudogene, designated as "ps(5.8S+ITS-2)", paralogous to the 5.8S gene and internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-2 of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA), has been recently found in many triatomine species distributed throughout North America, Central America and northern South America. Among characteristics used as criteria for pseudogene verification, secondar

10. Effects of anthropogenic impacts on benthic macroinvertebrates assemblages in subtropical mountain streams
The nature of the riparian and surrounding landscape has been modified by anthropogenic activities, which may subsequently alter the composition and functional structure of macroinvertebrate assemblages. The effect of these changes on function of benthic fauna is difficult to assess due to the scarce knowledge on functional structures in tropical streams. In

11. Design to learn: customizing services when the future matters
Internet-based customization tools can be used to design service encounters that maximize customers' utility in the present or explore their tastes to provide more value in the future, where these two goals conflict with each other. Maximizing expected customer satisfaction in the present leads to slow rates of learning that may limit the ability to provide

12. Tax Filing Choices for the Household under Separable Spheres Bargaining*
If household choices can be rationalized by the maximization of a well defined utility function, allowing spouses to file individually or jointly is equivalent to offering the envelope of the two tax schedules. If, instead, household ’preferences’ are constantly being redefined through bargaining, the option to file separately may affect outcomes even if
