Varying coefficient model (VCM) is extensively used in various scientific fields due to its capability of capturing the changing structure predictors. Classical mean regression analysis often complicated existence skewed, heterogeneous and heavy-tailed data. For this purpose, work employs idea averaging introduces a novel comprehensive approach by incorporating quantile-adaptive weights across ...

Cogumelos do gênero Pleurotus são cultivados para fins alimentícios, medicinais e por serem fontes de enzimas interesse industrial. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o crescimento micelial verificar a atividade proteases P. djamor. Este cogumelo foi cultivado em ágar batata dextrose (BDA) com extrato levedura (YE) 0,5% (p/v). Para velocidade radial (VCR) densidade micelial, djamor ci...

This paper presents the design and experimental study of a voice coil motor (VCM)-based Stewart platform used for active vibration isolation. The high precision payloads carried on the satellites always require an extremely stable environment to work properly. Installing a vibration isolation device between the vibration sources and precision payloads is an efficient method for dissipating vibr...

The fundamental reactivity or stability of the chloroethylene molecules affects their hepatotoxic potential. Extent and symmetry of the chlorine substitution, which alters electron delocalization, charge polarization, and solubility, affect biologic response. The most nonsymmetrically depolarized chloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethylene (1,1-DCE) is the most hepatotoxic and causes a unique pattern ...

Dichloroethane is a raw material used for the manufacture of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and therefore has very often been detected as a contaminant in the groundwater nearby the VCM manufacturing plant. Zero-valent iron is capable of degrading a wide array of chlorinated contaminants in groundwater such as trichloroethylene, vinyl chloride, carbon tetrachloride, and tetrachloroethane. However...

The treatment of economic aspects in Software Engineering was pointed as a challenge for the next years and Software Reuse is a strategic discipline. One of its popular techniques is Component-Based Development (CBD). CBD could not be broadly evaluated until now due to the lack of mature and well-established component marketplaces. One strong inhibitor is the lack of historical data to contribu...

Chronic treatment of humans or experimental animals with classical neuroleptic drugs can lead to abnormal, tardive movements that persist long after the drugs are withdrawn. A role in these neuroleptic-induced dyskinesias may be played by a structural change in the shell of the nucleus accumbens where the opioid peptide dynorphin is upregulated in treated rats that show vacuous chewing movement...

A 62-year-old woman was admitted for acute epigastralgia and high-grade fever of over 39 °C. The patient had undergone splenectomy for idiopathic portal hypertension 1 year ago and vaccination against Streptococcus pneumoniae immediately post operation. She developed localized peritoneal irritation and abdominal distension. Her serum creatinine had increased to 1.5 mg/dL and procalcitonin was 1...
