Time-Frequency Characteristics of In-Home Radio Channels Influenced by Activities of the Home Occupant

2019

While aging is a serious global concern, in-home healthcare monitoring solutions are limited to context-aware systems and wearable sensors, which may easily be forgotten or ignored for privacy and comfort reasons. An emerging non-wearable fall detection approach is based on processing radio waves reflected off the body, who has no active interaction with the system. This paper reports on an indoor radio channel measurement campaign at 5.9 GHz, which has been conducted to study the impact of fall incidents and some daily life activities on the temporal and spectral properties of the indoor channel under both line-of-sight (LOS) and obstructed-LOS (OLOS) propagation conditions. The time-frequ…

Aknu steatozes riska faktoru un fēču mikrobioma saistības izvērtējums pacientiem ar neinsulīnatkarīgu cukura diabētu

2018

Aktualitāte.Aptuveni divām trešdaļām 2TDM pacientu ir NTAS. 2TDM ir riska faktors tam, lai NTAS attīstītos par steatohepatītu, aknu fibrozi un cirozi. NTAS progresija ir biežāka pacientiem ar augstāku ĶMI, VA un TG līmeni. Ir noteikts, ka šajā pacientu grupā daži zarnu mikrobiāta metagenomiskie modeļi var kalpot par aknu iekaisuma radītājiem. Uzlabotas mikrobiomu analīzes metodes un dziļāka izpratne par sakarībām starp disbiozi un tās ietekmi uz kuņģa-aknu asi var uzlabot NTAS diagnostiku un ārstēšanu. Mērķi.Analizēt sakarību starp fēču mikrobiomu un ALAT līmeni, triglicerīdu līmeni, ĶMI un VA 2TDM pacientiem. Materiāli un metodes.Dati tika iegūti retrospektīvi par 2TDM pacientiem, kuriem t…

MONITORAGGIO DI OPERE STRATEGICHE MEDIANTE TECNICHE SATELLITARI: IL CASO STUDIO DELLA DIGA “CASTELLO SUL FIUME MAGAZZOLO”

2017

Il Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) e il telerilevamento sono stati utilizzati per determinare la relazione tra le deformazioni di una diga di terra e le variazioni di superficie e livello di invaso, durante il periodo di un anno. L’utilizzo di un ricevitore posto sul coronamento della diga e di una stazione permanente attivi durante l’arco della giornata ha permesso la determinazione della serie temporale degli spostamenti dell’opera nel periodo analizzato, riferiti ad un sistema di riferimento locale della diga. La componente ortogonale al coronamento è stata successivamente posta in relazione con le forze di natura idraulica che agiscono sull’opera. Per la determinazione dei liv…

Methionine Cycle Rewiring by Targeting miR-873-5p Modulates Ammonia Metabolism to Protect the Liver from Acetaminophen

2022

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) development is commonly associated with acetaminophen (APAP) overdose, where glutathione scavenging leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and hepatocyte death. DILI is a severe disorder without effective late-stage treatment, since N-acetyl cysteine must be administered 8 h after overdose to be efficient. Ammonia homeostasis is altered during liver diseases and, during DILI, it is accompanied by decreased glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) expression and S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) levels that suggest a reduced methionine cycle. Anti-miR-873-5p treatment prevents cell death in primary hepatocytes and the appearance of necrotic areas in liver from APAP-adminis…

The operational sex ratio of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus populations: the case of the Mediterranean marine protected area of Ustica Island (…

2009

We investigated, with a series of field and laboratory observations, the possible effect of the starfish Marthasteria glacialis predation on the operational sex ratio (OSR), i.e. the number of sexually mature males divided by the total number of sexually mature adults of both sexes at any one time, of the edible sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. The OSR was estimated three times during the sea urchin summer spawning period (July 2004, June 2005 and July 2006) on barren substrates of Ustica Island Marine Protected Area (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy). Four sites were selected: two characterized by high M. glacialis density (take zone C) and two controls with low starfish density (no-take zo…

THE LIVING LOGICAL SYSTEM PARADIGM THE ECONOMIC CONCEPT AND THE CONCEPT OF LIVING LOGICAL SYSTEM – NECCESARY AND SUFFICIENT PREDICATES

2012

Through the current research we advocate for the conceptualization of economics and the grouping of the Living Logical System (a concept introduced by prof. Phd. Emil Dinga) on economics, with the purpose of increasing the understanding we have on economic forces. The system which we created, as an extention of the Living Logical System, will be called the Economic Living Logical System. The need for such a research is given by the fact that orthodox economic knowledge is considered a prisoner of the mechanical paradigm.

Economy, Management and Education beyond Twentieth Century

2014

Abstract In history, people with a high level of education have had a good living standard. The education is responsible for: structure of consumption, public health, standard of living. When the education level decreases occurring phenomena that manifest in today's Romania: snobbery extremely expensive and spread; the society appear ill at large percentages of people; poor health services; corruption is expanded and public money is not used in the interests of community. Further reasoning leads us inevitably to the dissolution of the society and a possible disappearance or change of state. Not ruled out the option of a totalitarian society.

The Low Dimensionality of Development

2020

AbstractThe World Bank routinely publishes over 1500 “World Development Indicators” to track the socioeconomic development at the country level. A range of indices has been proposed to interpret this information. For instance, the “Human Development Index” was designed to specifically capture development in terms of life expectancy, education, and standard of living. However, the general question which independent dimensions are essential to capture all aspects of development still remains open. Using a nonlinear dimensionality reduction approach we aim to extract the core dimensions of development in a highly efficient way. We find that more than 90% of variance in the WDIs can be represen…

The measurement of economic, social and environmental performance of countries: a novel approach

2010

This paper presents a new analytical framework for assessing spatial disparities among countries. It takes for granted that the analysis of a country's performance cannot be limited solely to either economic or social factors. The aim of the paper is to combine relevant economic and 'non-economic' (mainly social) aspects of a country's performance in an integrated logical framework. Based on this idea, a structural simultaneous equation model will be presented and estimated in order to explore the direction of the causal relationship between economic and non-economic aspects of a country's performance. Furthermore, an exploration of the trajectory that each country has registered over time …
