A Test of Competition in Brazilian Banking [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2001 This paper implements an empirical test of market power for Brazilian banking based on Bresnahan (1982) and Lau (1982). A dynamic version of the test is applied.

Color Trails Test: a Brazilian normative sample [PDF]
Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa, 2010 The present study aims to evaluate psychometric data on the population of Brazil using of the Color Trails Test (CTT). The instrument was applied to 1,942 subjects who came from the north (1.4%), northeast (10.4%), midwest (7.7%), southeast (65.9%), and ...

TIME-COMPRESSED SPEECH TEST IN BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE [PDF]
Clinics, 2007 The time-compressed speech test has existed since the 1970s. It is sensitive for evaluating auditory closure. However, it is not used in Brazil because until recently, it had not been developed in Portuguese.To develop a compressed speech test in Portuguese, to apply it to normal-hearing adults, and to verify which of the compressed lists (50%, 60%, or

Identification of anisotropic tensile strength of cortical bone using Brazilian test. [PDF]
, 2014 For a proper analysis of cortical bone behaviour, it is essential to take into account both the elastic stiffness and the failure criteria. While ultrasound methods allow complete identification of the elastic orthotropic coefficients, tests used to ...

Failure in Confined Brazilian Tests on Sandstone [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2021 Strength of rocks in the confined tension region, where the minimum principal stress is tensile, has only infrequently been measured and is not well understood. Quasi-static confined Brazilian tests under a range of confining stresses (2.76 to 27.58 MPa) where used to determine the strength of sandstone in the confined tension region.

DNA tests probe the genomic ancestry of Brazilians [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2009 We review studies from our laboratories using different molecular tools to characterize the ancestry of Brazilians in reference to their Amerindian, European and African roots. Initially we used uniparental DNA markers to investigate the contribution of distinct Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA lineages to present-day populations.

A simple discrete-element-model of Brazilian test [PDF]
The European Physical Journal B, 2016 We present a statistical model which is able to capture some interesting features exhibited in the Brazilian test. The model is based on breakable elements which break when the force experienced by the elements exceed their own load capacity. In this model when an element breaks, the capacity of the neighboring elements are decreased by a certain ...

Current Cognition of Rock Tensile Strength Testing By Brazilian Test
Rudarsko-geološko-naftni zbornik, 2015 Tensile strength of intact rock materials has been determined by the indirect method more frequently than by the direct method. This paper presents a historical review of the development of the indirect method called the Brazilian test, comprising the period from 1943 to the present day. It stresses some aspects which are essential for interpreting the
