1. What If the Forecaster Knew? Assessing Forecast Reliability via Simulation
ABSTRACT The FIFA Men’s World Cup (FWC) is the most important football (soccer) competition, attracting worldwide attention. A popular practice among football fans in Brazil is to organize contests in which each participant informs guesses on the final score of each match. The participants are then ranked according to some scoring rule. Inspired by these c

2. Temporal Evolution of Roughness Development on Polymer Surfaces Exposed to Non-Thermal Plasma
Processes such as ablation, erosion and corrosion generally create roughness patterns on solid surfaces. Despite the randomness of this phenomenon, some patterns can be described mathematically by studying statistically the mechanisms behind them. This paper reports an experimental study on the temporal evolution of the roughness development of polymer surfa

4. Activated carbon loaded with manganese and iron for glyphosate adsorption: Kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamic studies
Resumo Carvão ativado granular foi impregnado com 1% de ferro e 0,5% de manganês (m/m) para remoção de glifosato em soluções aquosas. O adsorvente foi caracterizado por microscopia eletrônica de varredura, espectroscopia de energia dispersiva, técnicas de adsorção de nitrogênio e análises de potencial zeta. Estudos em batelada foram realizados pa

5. Preparation and application of Zero Valent Iron immobilized in Activated Carbon for removal of hexavalent Chromium from synthetic effluent
RESUMO Diferentemente dos contaminantes orgânicos, os metais pesados não são biodegradáveis e tendem a se acumular nos organismos vivos e também são reconhecidos por serem tóxicos ou carcinogênicos. A utilização de nanopartículas de ferro zero valente (nFVZ) é relatada como uma técnica alternativa e de elevado potencial para remediação in situ

6. Spatial distribution and control levels of Anastrepha spp. (Diptera: Tephritidae) in guava orchards
Abstract: This study aimed to know the patterns of spatial distribution of Anastrepha spp. and establish a criterion for determining the appropriate time for pest control. For this, 90 McPhail traps were used as Sampling Units (SU) divided into three commercial orchards of Novo Milênio guava with a total area of 14 ha. Traps were interspersed between the ro

7. An entrepreneurial career impacts on job and family satisfaction
Abstract Purpose This paper aims to identify if entrepreneurship as a career option is related to job satisfaction and family satisfaction by comparing entrepreneurs with non-entrepreneurs. To do so, a tool was used to measure job satisfaction, family satisfaction and the existence of interrole conflicts. Design/methodology/approach Cluster analysis and li

8. Analysis of Fusarium ear rot and fumonisin contamination in testcrosses of a maize biparental population
Abstract Fusarium ear rot (FER) negatively affects maize production worldwide and poses a serious threat to human health for producing mycotoxins. The objectives of our study were to assess the factors affecting FER and fumonisin contamination in testcrosses of a maize population. In the trials, seeds of 191 testcrosses of IBMSyn4, 11 checks and 2 replicatio

9. Lessons and perspectives for applications of stochastic models in biological and cancer research
The effects of randomness, an unavoidable feature of intracellular environments, are observed at higher hierarchical levels of living matter organization, such as cells, tissues, and organisms. Additionally, the many compounds interacting as a well-orchestrated network of reactions increase the difficulties of assessing these systems using only experiments.

10. Size Effects on Fracture Parameters of High Alumina Refractories
The randomness of phase compositions and their distribution as well as the micro cracks and pores in refractories result in the dependence of mechanical properties on the sample size. In this work, the size effects on fracture parameters including bending strength, elastic modulus and fracture toughness of high alumina bricks were investigated by testing sam

11. Aproximación Intuitiva a la Aleatoriedad, el caso de Alumnos de 13 y 14 años de un Liceo Municipal
Abstract The article reports on the careful examination of the interactions in students aged 13 and 14 years old when dealing with a teaching sequence about randomness and certainty. We use photographic images as the material medium that enabled us to identify students' conceptions of randomness in the “paramathematician” status; that is to say, the noti

12. The Effect of Material Property on the Critical Velocity of Randomly Excited Nonlinear Axially Travelling Functionally Graded Plates
Abstract In this paper, the critical axial speeds of three types of sigmoid, power law and exponential law functionally graded plates for both isotropic and orthotropic cases are obtained via a completely analytic method. The plates are subjected to lateral white noise excitation and show evidence of large deformations. Due to randomness, the conventional de
