Abstract. For the given data (wi, xi, yi), i = 1, . . . , n, and the given model function f(x;θ), where θ is a vector of unknown parameters, the goal of regression analysis is to obtain estimator θ∗ of the unknown parameters θ such that the vector of residuals is minimized in some sense. The common approach to this problem of minimization is the least-squares method, that is minimizing the L2 n...

This research addresses aspects related to active urban mobility focusing on the understanding of walkability and criteria that condition it. Walkability is a preponderant factor in quality space, as it about characteristics conditions place presents for walking. In this context, carried out an analysis four space clippings city Blumenau/SC. A method evaluating was applied, thus indexes each ar...

The 2010s has witnessed the visibility of literature based on China’s Northeast (Dongbei), exemplified by literary works composed Zheng Zhi, Ban Yu and Shuang Xuetao, viz. ‘three masters Dongbei Renaissance’. In a 2020 novella anthology, Zhi expatiates upon veritable cornucopia representations folk religion (aka popular religion) established religions via depictions concerning shamanism, Buddhi...

The present study investigates how adult native speakers of two null subject Romance languages, European Portuguese (EP) and Italian, interpret overt pronominal subjects in intrasentential contexts. Participants were 30 EP Italian. Each language group was administered multiple-choice tasks (speeded untimed), which crossed the following variables: ‘animacy matrix object’ ([+ human] vs. [- human]...

This article tackles the problem of identification elastic continuum model by atomistic simulations for graphene polymer nanocomposite. The Atomistic Local IdentificAtion Stiffness method, so-called ALIAS is developed to estimate local stiffness tensor at all points laminate Results suggest that can be modeled scale a general imperfect interface with zero thickness. Moreover, procedure reveals ...

Abstract Although the populist radical right (PRR) has become a global phenomenon, research about it focuses much more on Europe than other regions. To counter this imbalance, special issue provides comparative evidence discourse elaborated by PRR six non-European countries: Australia, Brazil, Chile, India, Turkey, and United States. As we will show, forces articulate authoritarian, nativist, i...

The present work focuses on the proximate physical and chemical profile of Opuntia ficus-indica mucilage, mechanically extracted from cladodes, a waste pruning in traditional organic cactus pear orchards Italy (San Cono, Sicily). mechanical extraction increased mucilage yield to 30% dry weight. Physical characterization concerns pH, viscosity, free acidity density, useful for emulsifying capaci...

Sustainable, stable, and cost-optimized operation of power grids must be the main objectives grid operators electric utilities. The energy transition towards a preponderant green economy requires innovative solutions to enhance economic dispatches looking for better allocation demand among diverse renewable fossil fuel plants. Green systems preferred over generators when they are available. How...

We investigate a tritrophic system whose cyclic dominance is modelled by the rock-paper-scissors game. consider that organisms of one or two species are affected movement limitations, which unbalances spatial Performing stochastic simulations, we show mobility unevenness controls population dynamics. In case slow species, predominant depends on level restriction, with being preponderant if limi...
