1. Impacts of grade configuration on Brazilian student outcomes
Abstract In this paper we evaluate the impact of grade span configuration on student outcomes. We build a model which shows that the more homogeneous the cohort of students the higher the share of them which achieves the minimum level of academic performance required in an exam. We then test this theoretical finding by comparing performances of 5th-grade stu

2. Bayesian factor analysis for mixed data on management studies
Abstract Purpose Factor analysis is the most used tool in organizational research and its widespread use in scale validations contribute to decision-making in management. However, standard factor analysis is not always applied correctly mainly due to the misuse of ordinal data as interval data and the inadequacy of the former for classical factor analysis.

3. Slabs strengthened for punching shear with post-installed steel and CFRP connectors
Resumo Acidentes estruturais por punção vêm sendo relatados em edifícios com lajes lisas. As recomendações de projeto apresentadas pelas normas podem levar a estimativas de resistência à punção divergentes para situações semelhantes. Além disso, não são apresentadas orientações para o dimensionamento do reforço à punção de lajes existent

4. Brazilian study of adaptation and psychometric properties of the Coping Health Inventory for Parents
Abstract The Coping Health Inventory for Parents (CHIP) evaluates coping patterns of parents of chronically ill children and assesses different coping strategies using three subscales. This study aimed to translate and transculturally adapt the CHIP for a Brazilian sample and investigate the preliminary psychometrics of the scale. Rating scale Rasch analysis

5. Analysis and extension of the Furter equation, and its application in the simulation of saline extractive distillation columns
ABSTRACT Simulation of saline extractive distillation columns is a difficult task owing to the high nonlinearity of the rigorous models that represent these systems. The use of simple models to obtain initial estimates of equilibrium compositions may improve the stability and rate of convergence. One of the simplest models to study the vapor-liquid equilibri

6. Theoretical basis, application, reliability, and sample size estimates of a Meridian Energy Analysis Device for Traditional Chinese Medicine Research
OBJECTIVES: The Meridian Energy Analysis Device is currently a popular tool in the scientific research of meridian electrophysiology. In this field, it is generally believed that measuring the electrical conductivity of meridians provides information about the balance of bioenergy or Qi-blood in the body. METHODS AND RESULTS: PubMed database based on some

7. Risk of symptomatic dengue for foreign visitors to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil
Brazil will host the FIFA World Cup™, the biggest single-event competition in the world, from June 12-July 13 2014 in 12 cities. This event will draw an estimated 600,000 international visitors. Brazil is endemic for dengue. Hence, attendees of the 2014 event are theoretically at risk for dengue. We calculated the risk of dengue acquisition to non-immune i

8. Delineamentos experimentais eficientes para estudos de cinética química
In this paper we show how to obtain efficient designs of experiments for fitting Michaelis-Menten and Hill equations useful in chemical studies. The search of exact D-optimal designs by using local and pseudo-Bayesian approaches is considered. Optimal designs were compared to those commonly used in practice using an efficiency measure and theoretical standar

9. Rice detector: proposal of a novel objective response detection technique
INTRODUCTION: The detection of the somatosensory response (SR) is an important tool for the neurophysiological evaluation in the intra and post-operative period of some vascular and spine surgeries. Particularly, the SR identification with a maximum false positive ratio by means of Objective Response Detection (ORD) techniques could lead to a less subjective

10. Models for estimating feed intake in small ruminants
This review deals with the most relevant limits and developments of the modeling of intake of sheep and goats reared intensively and extensively. Because small ruminants are normally fed ad libitum, voluntary feed intake is crucial in feeding tactics and strategies aimed at optimal animal production. The effects of genetic, neuroendocrine, hormonal, feed and

11. How much effort should be employed for surveying a low-diversity Amazonian mammal assemblage using line-transects?
Line-transect surveys are commonly used for sampling large mammals, but estimates of the effort needed to reliably surveying low-diversity assemblages of mammals are scarce. Using data from line-transects and species accumulation curves, I examined whether or not a sampling effort previously suggested to survey mammals elsewhere (ca. 85-100 km) would be sati

12. Modelos teóricos de distribuição de abundância das espécies para caracterização da diversidade biológica e a utilização de diferentes medidas de abundância / Theoretical models of species abundance distribution to characterize the biological diversity and the use of different measures of abundance
The species abundance distributions (SADs) are considered an informative way to describe the biological diversity revealling one of the most wellestablished patterns in ecology: the predominance of rare species in biological communities. The generality of such pattern made it relevant to the analysis of other biodiversity parameters an to induce the developm
