The respiratory effects of a Pilates method protocol: Randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: To evaluate the respiratory effects of a Pilates method (PM) protocol in adult women.

Design: Single-blind randomized controlled trial.

Settings: Healthy women were randomized into two groups using the Random.

Modeling of the air temperature using the Extreme Value Theory for selected biomes in Mato Grosso do Sul (Brazil).

Unlabelled: This paper aims to find probabilities of extreme values of the air temperature for the Cerrado, Pantanal and Atlantic Forest biomes in Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil. In this case a maximum likelihood estimation was employed for the probability distributions fitting the extreme monthly air temperatures for 2007-2018. Using the Extreme Value Theory approach this work estimates three probability distributions: the Generalized Distribution of Extreme Values (GEV), the Gumbel (GUM) and the Log-Normal (LN).
