1. THE EM ALGORITHM FOR STANDARD STOCHASTIC FRONTIER MODELS
ABSTRACT The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm is developed for the stochastic frontier models most used in practice with cross-section data. The resulting algorithms can be easily programmed into a computer and are shown to be worthy alternatives to general-purpose optimization routines currently used. The algorithms for the half normal and the expone

2. Free Damped Vibration of Rotating Truncated Conical Sandwich Shells Using an Improved High-Order Theory
Abstract In the present paper, an improved high-order theory is employed to study the free vibration of rotating truncated sandwich conical shells with laminated face sheets and a soft core. The formulation is based on a three-layer sandwich model. First-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is used for face sheets and quadratic and cubic functions are assum

3. Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Perforation of Thin Polycarbonate Plate by Projectiles of Different Nose Shape
Abstract The present study is based on experimental investigation and numerical simulation of impact of different nose shape projectiles on thin polycarbonate plates. Rigid hardened projectiles of two different geometries (Blunt and Truncated cone) keeping the same shank diameter and total mass were prepared. These projectiles were impacted through pneumatic

4. Nonlinear wave transmission and pressure on the fixed truncated breakwater using NURBS numerical wave tank
Fully nonlinear wave interaction with a fixed breakwater is investigated in a numerical wave tank (NWT). The potential theory and high-order boundary element method are used to solve the boundary value problem. Time domain simulation by a mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian (MEL) formulation and high-order boundary integral method based on non uniform rational B-splin

5. Análise dos genes GHRH e GL12 em pacientes com deficiência de hormônio do crescimento congênita / GHRH and GLI2 genes analysis in patients with congenital growth hormone deficiency
Introduction: Alterations in genes related to GH secretion and pituitary organogenesis have been identified in patients with congenital GH deficiency (GHD). However, in only few cases of GHD the etiology has been established. GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) is an obvious candidate to explain isolated GH deficiency (IGHD). Previous reports in the literature did n

6. Caracterização de cepas de Escherichia coli contendo diferentes alelos rpoS. / Characterization of Escherichia coli strains carrying different rpos alleles.
Escherichia coli can be found in many different habitats and has to be prepared to survive and grow under unfavorable conditions. Bacteria adaptation to different growth conditions requires an efficient control of gene expression. One of the primary forms of gene expression control is the competition between different sigma factors for the binding to the cor

7. Computing confidence intervals for output oriented DEA models: an application to agricultural research in Brazil.
We define and model the research production at Embrapa, the major Brazilian institution responsable for applied agricultural research. The main theoretical framework is Data Envelopment Analysis - DEA. We explore the economic interpretation and the statistical properties of these models to compute confidence intervals for output oriented efficiency measureme

8. Papel da via lkaros-FGFR4 na evolução pós-cirúrgica dos pacientes com doença de Cushing / Ikaros-FGFR4 pathway: role in the postoperative outcome of Cushings disease
Introduction: The mechanisms involved in the molecular pathogenesis of corticotroph pituitary tumors are complex, heterogeneous and in most cases remain unknown. Changes in the expression of components of Ikaros (Ik) pathway, such as receptor 4 of fibroblast growth factor (FGFR4), have been detected in pituitary tumors including corticotropinomas. Imbalance

9. Analysis of the SLC4A1 gene in three Mexican patients with hereditary spherocytosis: report of a novel mutation
We analyzed the SLC4A1 gene in three Mexican patients with Hereditary Spherocytosis (HS). The promoter and all 20 exons were investigated through heteroduplex analysis and DNA sequencing. No DNA changes were detected in one of the three patients. Two well-known polymorphisms, Memphis I and the Diego-a blood group, were detected in another one. In the third,

10. Sthocastic model to estimate the soybean productivity in the State of São Paulo through bivaried normal simulation / Modelo estocástico para estimação da produtividade de soja no Estado de São Paulo utilizando simulação normal bivariada
The availability of resources, as much of financial order and human labor, is scarse. Therefore, it must stimulates the regional planning that minimizes the use of resources. Then, the forecast of harvests through modelling techniques must previously on the basis of be carried through the regional characteristics, thus indicating the routes of the research,

11. Caracterização de estruturas planares com substratos Iso/Anisotrópicos truncados através da técnica da ressonância transversa modificada
This work presents a theoretical and numerical analysis using the transverse resonance technique (TRT) and a proposed MTRT applied in the analysis of the dispersive characteristics of microstrip lines built on truncated isotropic and anisotropic dielectric substrates. The TRT uses the transmission lines model in the transversal section of the structure, allo

12. Fronteira de eficiência em serviços de saneamento no estado de São Paulo. / Eficiency frontier of sanitation service in State of São Paulo.
By the fact that the inter-relationship between health, sanitation, environmental conservation and economic growth, are essential for the systematical basic sanitary planning, programs that are focused on basic sanitation are considered to be as a mitigation mechanism to avoid diseases and epidemics spread by water bodies. However, in literature there is wel
