The problem addressed in this project is the mode choice estimation of intercity trips in Brazil if railway passenger services were to compete with existing transport choices. This study carries particular relevance in that it provides evidence of the potential demand under scenarios where different train services run between cities over a specific region of the country using different se…
This project aims to investigate whether Latin American firms can benefit from the mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), by evaluating the impact of IFRS adoption, institutional settings and firm-level incentives on firms' accounting information quality, debt and equity financing and institutional investment decisions, which are the key components for t…
We propose an alternative route to the conventional production of Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) type detectors used in nuclear and particle physics for radiation detection. Currently such detectors, as used at CERN for example, are produced by lithography and chemical etching. Such a method limits geometric variations of the devices and is relatively slow in the production of modified des…

Most rare and common neurodegenerative disorders have no effective treatment or cure. One reason is the lack of reliable cell or animal models that consistently replicate the disease phenotypes. The outlook for new treatments has become more hopeful with the recognition that many of these diseases involve perturbations of a few key cellular pathways. Two major contributing pathways, which…
Multipotent periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) like other mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can give rise to bone, cartilage and fat tissues. They are relatively easily obtained during a third molar extraction and have been recently shown to have both good osteogenic potential and proliferation capacity. Therefore, they are promising candidates not only for periodontal regeneration but …
Arbovirus infections in Brazil including Zika, chikungunya, dengue and Yellow Fever result inconsiderable morbidity and mortality and are pressing public health concerns. However ourunderstanding of these outbreaks is hampered by limited availability of epidemiologicalsurveillance data. Typically these data are generated by molecular diagnostic assays that are expensive to setup and lack …
