Senegal River Basin in West Africa. This work aimed to assess reference evapotranspiration (ET0) trends and its sensitivity climate variables on the period 2036–2065 basin. Seven General Circulation Models (GCMs) seven Regional Climate (RCMs) of CMIP5 project were used under scenarios RCP4.5 RCP8.5. The performance GCMs RCMs was first evaluated by comparing their outputs with reanalyses data. c...

This article discusses Sen’s critique of the behavioral implications of revealed preference theory. Sen proposes the concept of commitment as a way to account for the possibility of counter-preferential choice. More generally, it is part of an argument against the thesis that rationality may be reduced to some criteria of internal consistency of choices. The main purpose of this paper is to sho...

OBJECTIVES To examine associations between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and behavioral sleep problems (BSPs) through 5 years of age and special educational need (SEN) at 8 years. METHODS Parents in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children reported on children's snoring, witnessed apnea, and mouth-breathing at 6, 18, 30, 42, and 57 months, from which SDB symptom trajectories, or...

Os eventos de precipitação intensa associados às mudanças climáticas podem se tornar mais frequentes e acentuados em muitas regiões do Brasil. Diante disso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar comportamento a tendência dos no Sudeste Foram utilizados dados diários da rede hidrometeorológica Agência Nacional Água Saneamento Básico. Após verificação qualidade dados, foram selecionados 454 posto...

In this paper we describe an experiment in which MANIFOLD is used to coordinate the interprocess communication in a parallelized proposition solver. MANIFOLD is very well suited for applications involving dynamic process creation and dynamically changing (ir)regular communication patterns among sets of independent concurrent cooperating processes. The idea in this case study is simple. The prop...

The origins of the capabilities approach within welfare economics are to be found in a series of influential papers and monographs, written by Amartya Sen in the early eighties of the previous century (Sen, 1980, 1985a; Sen et al., 1987). He developed and discussed the approach further in some widely read books (Sen, 1992, 1999; Nussbaum and Sen, 1993). The basic purpose of the approach is neat...

We investigate here how to treat numerically the Kendall functional equation occuring in the theory of branching processes and queueing theory. We discuss this question in the context of priority queueing systems with switchover times. In numerical analysis of such systems one deals with functional equations of the Kendall type and efficient numerical treatment of these is necessary in order to...

Daily and monthly rainfall data provided by surface rain gauges in the Amazon Basin are sparse defective, making it difficult to monitor patterns for certain portions of its territory, this sense, estimations precipitation from remote sensing calibrated with gauge key overcome problem. This paper presents a spatiotemporal analysis distribution Rondônia State, southwestern Amazonia. Data Climate...
