In this dissertation, we propose new univariate continuous distributions for modeling asymmetrical data. Initially, starting from a non-linear parametric transformation of an uniform random variable, we propose a new asymmetric one-parameter distribution that extends the uniform distribution, the so-called Lambert-uniform distribution. The transformation is expressed analytically in terms of the principal branch of the Lambert W function in such a way that the inverse transformation is expressed in terms of an exponential function. Consequently, the density function of the Lambert-uniform distribution has a simple closed form and exhibits increasing or decreasing monotonic behavior. Subsequently, based on the Lambert-uniform distribution, we propose a new distribution generator that allows adding one shape parameter to an arbitrary baseline distribution. The added parameter allows a variety of shapes for the density function of the resulting distribution, leading to an expansion of the skewness and kurtosis ranges of the baseline distribution. We observe that the parameter induced by the generator acts as a skewness parameter when the baseline distribution is symmetric. On the other hand, when the baseline distribution has positive support, we observe that the hazard rate function of the resulting distribution corresponds to a modification in the early times of the hazard rate function of the baseline distribution. This is exemplified through the study of four special cases obtained by considering the generalized-bimodal, slash, exponential and Rayleigh distributions as baseline distributions. We discuss the parameter estimation via the maximum likelihood method and evaluate the behavior of the estimators through simulation experiments. Finally, we consider some application examples that illustrate the usefulness of the proposed distributions in different real settings.

The penetration of photovoltaic distributed generation in distribution networks has become a reality; however, it still imposes challenges to be overcome, such as the operation of these networks with minimal deviations in the voltage magnitude profiles. Thus, this work proposes the daily planning of the hourly operation of microgrids in order to minimize the deviation in the voltage magnitude profiles and the minimization of active losses in the distribution through optimal tap ratio adjustments of transformers in substations, optimal adjustments of power banks remotely switched capacitors along the primary feeders and injections of active and reactive power from the photovoltaic generation distributed by smart inverters. In such a Volt/Var Optimization (OVV) problem, the discrete control variables associated with transformer taps and equivalent shunt susceptances of remotely switched capacitor banks are handled by sinusoidal penalty functions that modify the original mixed integer nonlinear programming problem into a nonlinear programming problem with only continuous decision variables. The results obtained for microgrids with 69 and 135 nodes show that the proposed OVV model and its resolution methodology are effective and efficient in reducing the deviation in voltage magnitude profiles, minimizing active losses and, at the same time, reducing of the overall reactive power demand of the distribution network.

The literature demonstrates the use of irradiated semiconductors in the treatment of effluents in a process called heterogeneous photocatalysis, a variant of advanced oxidative processes. The applicability of semiconductors is due to their electronic structure, characterized by bands that, when excited, present charges with redox potential capable of promoting various chemical reactions. TiO2 is the most studied semiconductor oxide for this purpose, however, it is limited by the high rate of recombination of photogenerated charges, which reduces its potential. Another limiting factor is the recovery of the catalyst when it is formed by small particles on the nanometer scale. One way to facilitate the recovery and reuse of the material is by applying them in the form of a film. In this context, using a metallic titanium (Ti) plate in a plasma-assisted electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process allows the formation of a thin layer of its oxide, the semiconductor titanium dioxide (TiO2) on the metal. Also, recent research demonstrates the incorporation of other materials, such as tin dioxide (SnO2), to assist TiO2 during photocatalysis, by forming heterostructures, which act to reduce the rate of recombination of photogenerated charges. Thus, this work aimed to study the applicability of the PEO process in obtaining TiO2 photocatalyst films and the incorporation of SnO2 in the structure by adding it in the form of particulate material to the electrolyte during the PEO process. The application of sulfuric and phosphoric acid in the electrolyte, as well as different concentrations of SnO2 in it, were studied. The characterization of the films was performed using the techniques of atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) and X-ray diffractometry. The characterization tests showed the influence of the electrolyte on the crystalline phase obtained, as well as on the surface morphology of the film. The incorporation of SnO2 in the final structure could not be verified, indicating that the concentration used was not sufficient for this purpose. Heterogeneous photocatalysis tests on the degradation of rhodamine B and methylene blue dyes under UV radiation showed the applicability of PEO in obtaining photocatalyst films. The films obtained via PEO showed activity after 4 cycles, indicating the applicability of the process to obtain photocatalyst films with the possibility of recovery and reuse.

The undergraduate medicine course at UFSCar aims at providing generalist, humanist, critical and reflective medical training, based on a differentiated learning model. The active methodology used transforms the graduation scenario, removing students from the comfort zone of traditional learning and creating a fertile ground for clinical reasoning and greater autonomy for the undergraduate. However, it has weaknesses that impact the lives of students and bring greater mental suffering during this learning journey. This Final Paper (FP) will be prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Pedagogical Political Project (PPP) of the UFSCar Medicine Course. The critical-reflective narrative about my education will be based on the description of the activities proposed by the graduation and my experiences during that period.

This research has as its theme: "Pedagogical Residency Program: Challenges and Potentialities in the mandatory curricular internship and in the initial training of teachers.", aims to analyze the relevance of the Pedagogical Residency Program in the initial training of teachers and to investigate how preceptors (trainers) of the program, look at the potentialities and challenges of the PRP, as a supplementary part of the new policies in the field of teacher education. Contemplating the mandatory curricular internship as an integral part of the program, we seek to collect information through field, bibliographic and documentary research regarding the contributions of the mandatory curricular internship carried out concomitantly with the Pedagogical Residency Program, and how it can contribute to initial training of future teachers. In view of the issues discussed, we seek to relate the relevance of the mandatory curricular internship and the realization of the pedagogical residency as a training policy. As this is a new policy in the field of teacher training, it is opportune to analyze public policies for teacher training, mandatory curricular internship and the teacher training program. Given this content, this work will present a brief political history of teacher training in Brazil, elucidating the issues surrounding teacher training, from the mandatory curricular internship, the emergence of the Pedagogical Residency Program, school-university partnership and initial teaching performance

The spectroscopy methods of analysis, as Mid Infrared (MIR) and Raman spectroscopy, are based on the interaction of light and matter. These techniques present advantages, such as, non-destructive analysis, low cost and little or no sample preparation. However, in the analysis of complex matrices (food, beverages, and drugs), interferents agents decrease the capacity of these techniques, especially in detecting of minority compounds. In this way, the modification of these matrices in order to reduce the interferences, presents itself as a viable alternative, expanding the analysis capacity and enabling new applications of such techniques. In this work, it was performed the modification of matrices in three different applications for analyses using MIR and Raman spectroscopy. The aim of carrying out the treatment of samples before the analysis aimed to overcome limitations of analytical techniques related to direct analysis, such as fluorescence in Raman and water interference in mid-infrared. In the first application, it was proposed the quantitative determination and stability study of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in commercial samples by Raman spectroscopy and univariate analysis. For this purpose, four solution of 3% m/v AAS at pH values varying from 6 to 12 were prepared. Raman spectra were collected at intervals of 30 min in the first two hours of analysis and 1 h of interval after two hours, in a total of 8 hours. For quantitative determination, a concentration calibration curve in the range of 1 to 5% m/v of AAS, was built. After evaluating of stability, two commercial drugs containing AAS were purchased in the local market and the content of the active ingredient was determined. The values found by Raman Spectroscopy were compared with the results obtained by the standard method (HPLC) and presented relative deviation below 1%. In the second application, a sample opening method was proposed using liquid-liquid partition with ethyl acetate to analyze by FTIR-ATR 11 brands of Pilsner beers, divided into the Standard American Lager and Premium American Lager categories. The data were pre-processed the exploratory study performed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). According to the results, spectral patterns (fingerprints) of the compounds present in the organic extract of the analyzed samples were obtained. It was possible to verify that FTIR-ATR technique was able to separate the analyzed beer brands in distinct groups. Moreover, the FTIR-ATR was able to separate samples of different brands according to the production location. Finally, in the third application the quantitative analysis of ethanol in beer, wine and whiskey samples was performed by Raman Spectroscopy. As a strategy to reduce interferents, the modification of the matrices with sodium hypochlorite was carried out. This method has as its main objective to suppress the fluorescence of samples, caused by the components present in these matrices. The results showed that the use of sodium hypochlorite was effective in the suppressing of fluorescence, allowing for the quantitative analysis of ethanol in the analyzed matrices. The relative deviation between Raman Spectroscopy and the reference method (Gas Chromatography - GC) was below10%.

The general objective of this work is to unveil knowledge of teaching in Higher Education, from the mapping of academic productions that dialogue with (auto)biographical narratives. For the composition of the corpus of analysis of this work, we used, as a database, the Revista Brasileira de Pesquisa (Auto)Biográfica (RBPAB). The time frame adopted considers the period from 2016 to 2021, marked by the beginning of the publication of the Brazilian Journal of (Auto)Biographic Research, culminating in the year this research was carried out until the month of November, considering the last published volume (v18). The theoretical framework adopted considers the academic production of different authors who focus their research on teaching knowledge in Higher Education, the construction of identity and teaching professionalism, research through (auto)biographical narratives in Education, among others. For the construction and development of this study, the quantitative-qualitative methodology was chosen, considering the realization of a Systematic Mapping of the academic production inherent to the aforementioned period, as well as the contributions of Falbo, Souza and Felizardo (2017) and Vosgerau and Romanowski (2014), composition of the analysis corpus and production of results. Twenty-six articles published by RBPAB were analyzed. The mapping of academic productions was made from the reading and recording of these works, among which four thematic axes emerged, organized in order to unveil the teaching knowledge in Higher Education, which used (auto)biographical narratives. The academic productions analyzed show that the teachers' memories of their trajectories influenced the generation of important knowledge for their professional training, as the images they had about what it was to be a teacher were related to representations that were being (de)constructed and (re)constructed from self-writing, from reflections on their formative processes, as well as from their professional trajectories and life stories. The narratives about life histories considered as a training device brought us a perspective of the teaching profession as practiced by a human being who needs to be considered as beyond a technically constituted professional, that is, as a person who is, in its entirety. Through this device, the (trans)formation of themselves and their teaching practices occur progressively, while they build and expand their knowledge through their (auto)biographies, as these provide them with opportunities for self-knowledge, self-training and a new way of seeing and living teaching in Higher Education.

In the daily routine of the regular classroom, teachers and educational interpreters need to organize specific aspects and solve demands related to the teaching of deaf students. Although they work together, these professionals usually do not have moments outside class hours to share experiences and reflect on their actions. Recognizing the importance of this process for the quality of teaching-learning of deaf students, we proposed the creation of a shared formative space between teachers and educational interpreters in service in a public school in the interior of São Paulo. We aimed to investigate the potential of this space for Bilingual Education of the Deaf, focusing on the moments of instruction, analyzing possibilities of the proposal, difficulties of implementation, gaps and potentials found in the educational practices of these professionals, in order to expand their experiences and reflections on the teaching process for this public in the classroom. To this end, we mobilized the cultural-historical theory proposed by Vygotsky and other authors, studies in the field of Deaf Education and studies on training aspects of teachers and educational interpreters. Focusing on the training process, we followed three pairs (teacher-interpreters) during one school year in the school where the project was developed. We recorded the meetings on video and audio (most of them) and collected the data to be analyzed by transcribing the speeches of the participants. The actions implemented in the training space consisted of dialogues with the pairs, during which we addressed specific issues related to deafness, methodological aspects of teaching deaf students, different possibilities of interpretation in Libras, forms of support for teaching practice and practices of the educational interpreter, in order to promote joint reflections on new possibilities of educational actions. From the analysis of the dynamics of the meetings, three cores of meaning emerged: Pedagogical practices, Organizational processes and Formative processes. As a main result of the analysis, we highlight the expansion of the dialogue between professionals for shared decision making, which enabled the creation of new strategies for the teaching of deaf students, in a more conscious way. The teachers and educational interpreters benefited from these common moments of organization, overcoming difficulties by jointly executing the planning with the external view of a professional trained to generate, discuss and forward reflections on other forms and possibilities of actions. We could see, therefore, that the establishment of this partnership in the training meetings leads professionals to a better work both for deaf students and for the school as a whole. However, it is a process full of challenges, permeated by dynamics of institutional functioning and important aspects that must be appreciated in order to promote, in fact, a quality Bilingual Education for the Deaf.

Indigenous peoples have the right to specific, differentiated, intercultural, bilingual/multilingual and community education, guaranteed by law. Like all the rights of indigenous peoples, school education was the result of several struggles and the union of different indigenous and indigenist movements. And in the same way that school education took time to have legal support and to take its own form, detached from its historical burden, Special Education is gradually being seen with different eyes by the indigenous themselves. Therefore, showing the interface of Special Education in Indigenous Schools is of paramount relevance. This research sought to answer some questions: Are indigenous students who are the target audience of Special Education (PAEE) being served at the indigenous school? What actions are developed to assist PAEE indigenous students? And how are these actions being developed by teachers and school managers? Thus, this work had as general objective to know the interface of Special Education in a Terena indigenous school. With the specific objectives of investigating whether there is service for indigenous PAEE students and how this service takes place; to describe what are the actions developed to assist the PAEE indigenous students and how these actions are being developed by teachers and managers of the school that is the focus of this work. It is a qualitative approach work. To obtain data, structured questionnaires were applied individually by the researcher. The questionnaires were prepared by researchers specialized in the field of Special Education, from the Federal University of São Carlos, through which we were able to characterize: the respondent, the school's data, the access and permanence of the PAEE student in the school, the school's infrastructure, administrative and pedagogical actions and the participants' sense of self-efficacy, etc. This work portrays the interface of special education in a Terena indigenous school in the municipality of Anastásio, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. We can conclude that the service to the Terena indigenous of this municipality has taken place and that the managers and professionals working in the school have sought to meet the demands of their public.

Let G be a compact Lie group and X be a finitistic space. If G acts continuously on X, we can construct the fibration X \hookrightarrow X_{G} \arrow & B_{G}, (1) called Borel fibration, where G\hookrightarrow E_{G}\to B_{G} denotes the universal G-bundle and X_{G} is the orbit space (E_{G}\times X)/G, also known as the Borel space. When the action on G on X is free, there is a homotopy equivalence between the orbit space X/G and the space X_{G}. Therefore, we can use the Leray-Serre spectral sequence {E_{r}^{\ast,\ast},d_{r}}, associated to the fibration (1), which converges to the cohomology of the total space X_{G}, to get the cohomology ring of the orbit space X/G. In this thesis, we use these tools to investigate the existence of free actions of the compact Lie groups Z_2, S^1 and S^3 on some finitistic spaces. Precisely, we study the existence of free action on finitistic spaces with mod 2 cohomology of a Dold manifold P(m,n), a Wall manifold Q(m,n), a Milnor manifold H(m,n), a product of spheres, the (real, complex or quaternionic) projective spaces and spaces of type (a,b). When the space X admit such such structure, we compute the mod 2 cohomology of the respective orbit space X/G.

Alzheimer’s disease (A.D) is the most common form of dementia affecting, especially, people with advanced age. There is no cure and the existing pharmaceuticals indicated for combating A.D act by inhibition of acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE), whose hyperactivity is related to the initial symptoms of the disease. This pharmaceuticals offer symptomatic and palliative treatments and are associated with several side effects. In this work two new Ru(II) compounds (RuFenGlic and RuEtPy) were designed to act as new AChE inhibitors. The complexes presented luminescence, being able to be used as luminescent probes for amyloid-β aggregation process which enables a potential diagnostic system. RuFenGlic complex showed poor inhibitory activity while RuEtPy complex showed inhibitory activity comparable to Galantamine drug. Furthermore, STD-1H-NMR analysis allowed inferring that Fen ligand of RuFenGlic complex and the EtPy ligand of RuEtPy complex are the most responsible for the inhibition observed for each complex. Photochemical properties of both complexes were studied in solution. RuFenGlic complex shows photostability when irradiated in wavelengths under its MLCT absorption band (420, 450, 520 nm). On the other hand, RuEtPy complex shows photosubstitution of the EtPy ligand when irradiated in the same wavelengths. The phenomenon is observed by MLCT shifts and sequential luminescence quenching after irradiation. Interestingly, this photochemical reaction for this complex reaches stabilization after 3 hours of irradiation, with substitution of only one of the EtPy ligands and luminescence quenching between 70 and 90% of the band, but never total quenching. This property can be explored for diagnose and treatment of cancer through photoactivatable chemotherapy (PACT).

IMUs are widely used in applications that require position and attitude measurements. And with the production of low-cost IMUs, it has been possible to expand this use beyond military and high-cost applications, reaching consumer devices such as cell phones, wearable technologies, physical exercise and rehabilitation equipment. But every IMU needs to be calibrated for use and therefore, in addition to the sensor, there is the cost of calibration. Existing calibration methods are either proprietary to the manufacturers, or they are expensive and require specific equipment and laboratories, or they use non-optimal methods of parameter estimation. This work proposes the systematization of low cost calibration methods, with simple execution performed by the user and that provides optimized results closer to those achieved by high cost calibration methods. The data capture process is based on a multi-position method that does not require extra equipment, besides the sensor and computer itself. The experiments were executed with three commercial IMUs, one high-cost calibrated by the manufacturer, used as a reference, and two low-cost, uncalibrated. The raw accelerometer reading of each IMU was calibrated using the four forms of the Kalman filter developed in this work and the errors obtained were evaluated by comparing the high cost IMU and the calibration with the estimated parameters, showing the good performance of the methods.

This study used machine learning algorithms (neural network, decision tree and close neighbors algorithm) to create classification models of 11 lineages of the Copia and Gypsy superfamilies, using angiosperm DNA sequences as training. Of eight models, three were efficient and were able to satisfactorily classify the sequences, in addition to being potentially efficient in classifying data from angiosperm species that were not in the dataset used for training. A comparison of the classification of the three most efficient models was also carried out with the prediction made by the Blast program, which has an algorithm based on sequence alignment, as a result, excellent classification metrics were obtained, however, considering 80% identity and 80 % coverage for there to be a prediction, it failed to classify 30% of the sequences.

Business incubators are important organizations that meet the needs of companies, providing support for their implementation, development and consolidation in the market. One of the public policies to support incubators is the São Paulo Network of Technology-Based Business Incubators (RPITEc), an initiative of the Government of the State of São Paulo, which aims to foster and strengthen innovation and the movement of these incubators in the State. Despite the relevance of these policies, there is a need to deepen studies regarding their importance in supporting incubators. Thus, the objective of this work was to adapt a questionnaire to assess the quality of public policy for application to the RPITec policy. To achieve the proposed objective, a measurement model was selected in the literature, which has as an evaluation basis, the perceived quality of users in relation to a policy, contemplating five quality determinants represented by project quality, relationship quality, quality result, process quality and reliability. After the selection of this model, the five determinants of quality were adapted, aiming to capture in the best possible way the perception that the respondents have about the RPITec policy. Thus, 21 managers from 11 business incubators accredited to the public policy analyzed participated in this study in order to obtain their perception of the quality of the policy. A Likert-type scale with scores from one to seven was presented at the end of each statement so that respondents could indicate the degree of their disagreement or agreement with it. The scores on the Likert scales, attributed by the managers of the incubators, as a result of their perceptions in each item of the questionnaire, constituted the set of data analyzed statistically. Data analysis took place from a descriptive analysis of the medians of the scores obtained from each statement, since the nature and population distribution projected for them suggested the conduction of statistics in a non-parametric perspective. The proportions of negative, neutral and positive perceptions attributed to assertions about the quality of services provided by the RPITec policy were also calculated. The results found point to the opposite direction to what the hypotheses that guided the development of the present study postulate: while they claim to exist, in the understanding of the incubator managers, a positive evaluation of the services provided by the RPITec policy for each of the quality determinants, those showed that this evaluation was neutral and negative for all of them, except for the first determinant, project quality, whose result was positive for the satisfaction of policy quality. A second step was carried out in this dissertation in order to understand the results of the quality assessment and complement the discussions. Thus, a secondary objective was proposed: to submit the results of the quality assessment found to the policy manager RPITec. The interview was the technique for data collection that supported this step, being conducted virtually together with the manager of the analyzed policy. The interview was semi-structured, containing questions aimed at knowing the dynamics of the work carried out with the incubators and raising possible causes of their low evaluation. It was noticed that the basis for the first alignment of the distortions found in the evaluation is in the communication between the parts.

Strictly linked to the domain of the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), there is the school development of the deaf student. However, due to a lack of practice in the family environment, it relays to the school environment the need of committing to the use of sign language, since there is a projection that this student will have colleagues he can interact with through it. Marta Gràcia et al. (2017a), based on the teaching of oral language as a role of the school for hearing students, created the Oral Language Teaching Assessment Scale – Decision Making System (EVALOE-SSD), which was adapted (LACERDA, 2018) to be used in the context of Deaf Education, aiming to favor the use and development of Libras by students. In this sense, this study proposes to observe and analyze the reflections regarding the pedagogical practices carried out by a bilingual teacher in the context of deaf education, using an adaptation of the EVALOE-SSD as a base. In this study, a Kindergarten teacher, responsible for the Libras instructional room (deaf students) in a municipal school, used the scale in a digital version. The results indicate that the adaptations made in the scale for the context of Deaf Education were satisfactory; that in the different axes of the scale, the teacher presented reflections and advances related to her pedagogical practice and that in the final questionnaire she could make relevant suggestions for the improvement of the scale in the context of Deaf Education.

Throughout her essays and articles, Gilda de Mello e Souza presents us with a study of what she calls as minor arts. These differ from other artistic productions for being ordinary, applied and closely linked to society. The minor arts are part of a poor aesthetic, so-called by the philosopher, whose object of investigation is the everyday phenomena, futile and without forums of grandeur. Another characteristic that is attributed to the minor arts is that of the well-done, because they require an attachment to minuteness and detail, characteristics that Gilda de Mello e Souza associates with a feminine vision. Therefore, the minor arts are works that are neither historical nor European, in addition to those produced by women. Although they are despised objects, it is seen, throughout our author's work, that the designation given to minor arts should not be taken in a pejorative sense, but viewed by their dignity.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease capable of causing micro and macrovascular complications, in addition to abnormalities in cardiac function that directly impact aerobic fitness. Studies show that diabetic individuals have abnormalities in left ventricular diastolic function and myocardial strain that normally precede the appearance of abnormalities in the left ventricular ejection fraction, and that these abnormalities may be related to the lower aerobic fitness presented by diabetic individuals with preserved ejection fraction. Aerobic fitness can be assessed through oxygen consumption kinetics, which shows the speed of adjustment of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and musculoskeletal systems against a given energy demand, with a faster adjustment speed representing better aerobic fitness. Objective: to correlate aerobic fitness responses with left ventricular function parameters in diabetic individuals. Casuistry and Methods: The studied population consisted of 10 type 2 diabetic individuals and 11 healthy individuals aged between 30 and 65 years old Anamnesis, blood tests, echocardiographic examination, and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) were performed. The CPET protocol consisted of an incremental load phase to determine the maximum oxygen consumption and the gas exchange threshold, and a constant load phase (supramaximum test) to confirm the maximum oxygen consumption reached. Aerobic fitness was assessed by determining the kinetics of oxygen consumption and heart rate using the Mean Normalized Gain (MNG), and calculating the ԏ (tau), during a binary pseudorandom protocol. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test and Kendal's tau correlation coefficient. Results: We observed that diabetic individuals have lower aerobic fitness (lower MNG values), as well as systolic dysfunction due to abnormalities on global longitudinal strain and incipient signs of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (lower E wave and E/A ratio values, and higher A wave values). We showed a positive correlation between systolic function (strain) and aerobic fitness (MNG). Conclusions: Normotensive diabetic individuals, with incipient signs of diastolic ventricular dysfunction and with systolic dysfunction, have lower aerobic fitness. Changes in global longitudinal strain were correlated with lower aerobic fitness.

Symptom based diagnosis are known to be limited specially concerning complex disorders such as schizophrenia. Modern attempts in providing predictive risk for such disease, to assist existing diagnosis tools, integrate genetic and brain information in what is known as imaging genetics. In this monography, our goal is both inferential and predictive. Regarding the inference, given the functional Magnetic Resonance Image and the Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms information of people diagnosed with schizophrenia and healthy people, we use a Bayesian probit model to select discriminating variables, while to estimate the predictive risk, the most promising models are combined using a Bayesian model averaging scheme. For these purposes, we propose an adaptive reversible jump markov chain monte carlo, named data driven reversible jump, for selecting the variables, estimating their effects and the predictive risk for future subjects.

We present tools, such as a maximum principle for elliptic functions and properties of a-hyperbolic polynomials, to study a tangency principle between two hypersurfaces with r-mean curvatures of a Riemannian manifold, which gives sufficient geometric conditions for these hypersurfaces to coincide in a neighborhood of a tangency point. We also study the problem of calculating the r-mean curvatures of the geodesic sphere, to use it in applications of the tangency principle.
