This research project developed a series of methodologies to help identifying urban, socioeconomic and space-temporal factors that lead to crime. Our research had four main pillars: (1) Hotspot analysis was used to investigate ...

This research project aims to analyse the spatial relation between the distribution of crime and the presence of amenities in the city of São Paulo. To that aim, we employ a spatial-aware regression model, Geographically ...

This research aimed to analyze the impact that socioeconomic and urban vari- ables have on crime rates for Rio de Janeiro. To achieve that, we structured a dataset containing, for each neighborhood, the per capita crime ...

Este trabalho tem por objetivo desenvolver um modelo matem ́atico que represente a dinâmica da atividade criminosa existente em uma população, afim de, através dele, sermos capazes de analisar potenciais intervenções, isto ...

In this work we propose a model that represents the relation between fish ponds, the mosquito population and the transmission of malaria. It has been observed that in the Amazonic region of Acre, in the North of Brazil, ...

In this paper, we introduce a new class of decision rules called Constant Depth Decision Rules (CDDRs) for Multistage Stochastic Convex Programs (MSCP) depending on a parame- ter Mi called the depth of the decision rules. ...

Esse relatório atualiza a análise do risco de disseminação da COVID-19 para as microrregiões brasileiras decorrente da presença de transmissão sustentada nos dois maiores centros urbanos, Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. Faz ...

The two largest Brazilian cities, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, have declared community transmission of COVID-19 on mid March, 2020. In this study we estimated the most vulnerable areas in Brazil for COVID-19, both in terms ...

Visualization assisted crime analysis tools used by public security agencies are usually designed to explore large urban areas, relying on grid-based heatmaps to reveal spatial crime distribution in whole districts, regions, ...

Estudamos dois problemas matemáticos distintos, mas relacionados, alcançando resultados teóricos e aplicados. Estudamos o problema da malária na região do Alto Juruá, no Acre, propondo um sistema de equações diferenciais ...
