[1] We investigate the spectral signature of ice clouds in the far-infrared (far-IR) spectral region from 100 to 667 cm 1 (15–100 mm). Individual particle scattering properties (extinction efficiency, absorption efficiency, and the asymmetry factor of the scattering phase function) are calculated for small particles using circular cylinders and for large crystals using hexagonal columns. The sc...

[1] Geostationary and Sun-synchronous satellite data and in situ observations from ship cruises are used to investigate the formation of open cellular structure in marine stratocumulus clouds over the southeast Pacific (SEP). Open cellular convection either forms spontaneously as pockets of open cells (POCs) within overcast stratocumulus, or is advected into the region from midlatitude regions....

Two adjacent, highly homologous endoglucanase genes, celD and celE from Fibrobacter succinogenes S85, which were separated by an AT-rich 223-nucleotide intergenic region were characterized. The celD gene codes for endoglucanase D (EGD), a protein of 668 residues with a molecular mass of 71.7 kDa, while the celE gene encodes endoglucanase E, a protein of 467 amino acids with a molecular mass of ...

The so-called block-term decomposition (BTD) tensor model, especially in its rank-$(L_r,L_r,1)$ version, has been recently receiving increasing attention due to enhanced ability of representing systems and signals that are composed \emph{blocks} rank higher than one, a scenario encountered numerous diverse applications. Uniqueness conditions fitting methods have thus thoroughly studied. Neverth...

This research aims to examine the impact of tax aggressiveness, earnings fluctuation and executive compensation on management within companies listed Brazilian stock exchange. To this end, an analysis with panel data regression was conducted a total 702 observations using from 117 companies. We found negative relation between management, indicating that lower tend have higher levels while abnor...

Optimization in graphical models is an important problem which has been studied in many AI frameworks such as weighted CSP, maximum satisfiability or probabilistic networks. By identifying conditionally independent subproblems, which are solved independently and whose optimum is cached, recent Branch and Bound algorithms offer better asymptotic time complexity. But the locality of bounds induce...

Counting the exact number of solutions of a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is an important but difficult task. To overcome this difficulty, the techniques proposed in the literature organize the search process along a tree decomposition of the CSP, where all the extensions of a given partial solution over different branches of the tree are first independently counted in each branch befor...

Atualmente, a agressividade fiscal e multinacionalidade tem sido temas recorrentes em pesquisas internacionais na área contábil. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar como tributária (BTD ou TTVA) afetada pela multinacionalidade, considerando o nível de ativos intangíveis das empresas listadas B3. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa quantitativa partir da análise regressão, onde testaram-se duas...

Methods: Twenty fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were dissected for analysis. Initial anatomic measurements involving the proximal long head of the biceps tendon (BT) were made, which included: the labral origin to the superior bicipital groove (LO-SBG), the total tendon length (TTL), the musculotendinous junction (MTJ) to the inferior pectoralis major tendon border, the MTJ to the superior pec...

Auto-immun events are rare in multiple myeloma (MM). Here, we report one MM case complicated by Evans syndrome (Autoimmun hemolytic anemia (AIHA) associated with thrombocytopenia). A 52-year-old man was admitted in nephrology department with severe anemia, renal insufficiency and hypergamma globulinemia. Laboratory exams showed acute hemolysis due to an IgG warm autoantibody. Serum electrophore...
