We also present a way for synthesizing the ideal control law and show how to approximate such ideal control law by sequence of stable proper control law

In particular, remittances can enable investing in children's human capital and reduce child labour, key outcomes from the perspective of growth in a developing country. Using data for El Salvador, this article shows: a) a null or insignificant overall impact

Research paper thumbnail of Dengue in the northernmost part of Brazil from 1999 to 2011: characterization of circulating DENV strains

This region is one of the most affected by dengue viruses in Brazil. Reports from 1999 to 2011 pointed out a high incidence of dengue epidemics, and the state evolved from hypoendemic to hyperendemic. This led to the isolation and identification of the four dengue virus (DENV) serotypes with a substitution pattern of one serotype for another until 2010, when simultaneous circulation of the four serotypes was detected. In line with the increased risk of secondary infection and entry of new serotypes/genotypes, the number of severe cases increased in recent years. Roraima borders Venezuela and Guyana, where all four dengue serotypes are in circulation, and so it is considered an important port of entry for new genotypes into Brazil.
