GARCON: Genetic Algorithm for Rectangular Cuts OptimizatioN. User's manual for version 2.0
No full textThis paper presents GARCON program, illustrating its functionality on a simple HEP analysis example. The program automatically performs rectangular cuts optimization and verification for stability in a multi-dimensional phase space. The program has been successfully used by a number of very different analyses presented in the CMS Physics Technical Design Report. The current version GARCON 2.0 incorporates the feedback the authors have received. User's Manual is included as a part of the note.This paper presents GARCON program, illustrating its functionality on a simple HEP analysis example.

Aplicação do algoritmo SAFER para monitoramento da evapotranspiração nos Biomas brasileiros.
No full textO algoritmo SAFER (Simple Algorithm for Evapotranspiration Retrieving) foi usado para análises da evapotranspiração atual (ET) em larga escala, nas diferentes regiões e biomas no Brasil, através da união de sensoriamento remoto e uma rede de estações meteorológicas, para o ano de 2016. Variações nos valores da ET entre as regiões e biomas foram fortemente detectadas, com taxas médias diárias trimestrais acima 3,0 mm dia-1 na região Sul, com os limites superiores no bioma Pampa, e abaixo de 1,5 mm dia-1 na região Nordeste, com limites inferiores no bioma Caatinga. A modelagem com uso do produto reflectância do satélite MODIS em conjunto com dados climáticos interpolados apresentou aplicabilidade para monitoramento dos fluxos hídricos na escala espacial de 250 m sob distintas condições termo hídricas ao longo do ano.Publicado também em: TEIXEIRA, A.

Trabalhando com dados espaciais no QGIS 2.18.4.
No full textO QGIS é um programa computacional que, além de ser um SIG, também permite gerar bancos de dados e fazer tratamentos e análises de dados espaciais. Isso ocorre porque todo SIG permite dispor, em camadas ou planos de informação (PI), vários dados georreferenciados, os quais podem pertencer a diferentes classes (vetoriais, matriciais, alfanuméricos, etc.)

Parental gender indifference or persistent sex preferences for children at the turn to the 21st century? A reflection on Pollard and Morgan (2002) with reference to the Swedish case
No full textIn their recent ASR article on the sex composition of previous offspring and third births in the US, Pollard and Morgan (2002) argue that changes in the societal gender system - namely increasing opportunities for women - have lead to a decreasing effect of children´s gender on parents´ fertility decisions. If the authors were right in their conclusions, one should expect to find no sex preferences for children in countries with a high level of gender equality. In this reflection, we exploit population register data for the years 1961 to 1999 to examine the Swedish example. Our results show that even in the fairly gender equal Swedish society, a clear preference for one child of each sex has continued to exist until today.
Energy-Process Integration of the Gas-Cooled/Water-Cooled Fixed-Bed Reactor Network for Methanol Synthesis
No full textThe paper deals with the techno-economical assessment of the gas-cooled/water-cooled fixed-bed reactor network for methanol synthesis. The study is the extension of the first-principles model for the watercooled reactor already proposed in our prior work (Manenti et al., 2013). Here, the optimization is extended to the steam generation and the reactor length ratio. As a result, basing on the integrated optimization of energy and process yield, we propose to significantly revise the common design. The traditional water/gas cooling reactor length ratio could be significantly reduced with consequent simultaneous increase in methanol production and steam generation as well, however preserving safety and operational ranges. The economic benefit deriving from the proposed design for a medium-scale process is estimated in more than 1.7 M€/y

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
