Este artigo teve como escopo identificar e analisar quais as variáveis que influenciaram na prática religiosa de mulheres antes terem sido presas Unidade Prisional Feminina (UPF)/Acre. Para tanto foi utilizada uma regressão logística sobre dados primários obtidos, via aplicação questionários/entrevistas, em 146 cumprem pena ou aguardam julgamento UPF. Como resultado, do modelo (estatisticamente...

Although particle filter and its variants like KPF and UPF achieve great success in many visual tracking applications, they depend on local proposal distributions and hence always fall flat in cases of global object shift and large-scale object movement. To address this issue, we present the concept of global proposal distribution for particle filter with the inspiration from biological vision ...

This paper provides a method to estimate time varying coe¢ cients structural VARs which are non-recursive and potentially overidenti…ed. The procedure allows for linear and non-linear restrictions on the parameters, maintains the multi-move structure of standard algorithms and can be used to estimate structural models with di¤erent identi…cation restrictions. We study the transmission of moneta...

In this paper, the interconnection of a strong AC system to a weak AC system by using a Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based High Voltage DC (HVDC) transmission system is investigated. In this work, the weak AC system considered is an island system comprised of synchronous generators and passive load. Analysis is carried out for UPF load and inductive load. The ac filter requirement to achieve ...

Network function virtualization (NFV) and multi-access edge computing (MEC) have become two crucial pillars in developing 5G beyond networks. NFV promises cost-saving fast revenue generation through dynamic instantiation the scaling of virtual network functions (VNFs) according to time-varying service demands. Additionally, MEC provides considerable reductions response time backhaul traffic sin...

Cultural ecosystem services (CES) of urban and peri‑urban forests (UPF) contribute to the population's health well-being. However, UPF face numerous threats from increasing urbanization climate change. A comprehensive understanding flow forests' CES between areas was lacking. Further, there is little empirical evidence how people valued used during COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we assessed ...

Satellite autonomous orbit determination OD is a complex process using filtering method to integrate observation and orbit dynamic equations effectively and estimate the position and velocity of a satellite. Therefore, the filtering method plays an important role in autonomous orbit determination accuracy and time consumption. Extended Kalman filter EKF , unscented Kalman filter UKF , and unsce...

Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can result in several skin problems, such as accelerating aging, burns, blemishes, or even cancer. Even when wearing clothes, there is still a risk that user will be exposed UV and suffer damage. Therefore, it necessary apply anti-UV treatments clothes fabrics used, so users become safe. Nitrogen doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQD) t...

The sun is essential for life. Yet, sunlight can also be a source of such deleterious effects as sunburn, and suntanning, as well as premalignant and malignant lesions. These may all occur in individuals with normal responses to sunlight. In addition, there exist a variety of 'abnormal' photosensitivity responses to sunlight that may result from either endogenous imbalances (e.g. the porphyrias...
