The clinical relevance of low-density-lipoproteins size modulation by statins.

2006

The predominance of small, dense low density lipoproteins (LDL) has been accepted as an emerging cardiovascular risk factor by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III; in fact, LDL size seems to be an important predictor of cardiovascular events and progression of coronary heart disease. Several studies have also shown that the therapeutical modulation of LDL size is of great benefit in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. Hypolipidemic treatment is able to alter LDL subclass distribution and statins are currently the most widely used lipid-lowering agents. Statins are potent inhibitors of hydroxy-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, the rate-limiting en…

Una metodologia per la suddivisione di un'area geografica regionale in Sistemi Turistici Locali.

2005

In questo lavoro si propone un metodo per a®rontare e risolvere il problema del dimensionamento e della localizzazione ottimali dei Sistemi Turistici Locali. A tal ¯ne, l'applicazione del modello proposto sull'area territoriale in esame viene iservata ad una fase in cui sono stati giµa presi in considerazione opzioni e vincoli trategici; viene presentato, invero, un criterio per la de¯nizione della gerarchia delle unitµa territoriali, che consente, d'altra parte, una sensibile riduzione delle alterna- ive ammissibili nella de¯nizione dei sistemi turistici, che avviene proponendo uno peci¯co algoritmo. l problema di ottimizzazione µe risolto successivamente mediante un procedimento di ricerc…

Daudzkanālu skaņas kodeka funkciju testu automatizācija

2017

Dokuments sniedz ieskatu skaņas pults un kodeka testu automatizācijā. Dokumentā aprakstītā programmatūra ir šo iekārtu funkciju testu automatizācijas skripti. Šo skriptu mērķis ir atvieglot testēšanas procesu. Testu automatizācija nodrošina ātrāku, vienkāršāku un efektīvāku testēšanas procesu. To galvenā priekšrocība ir iespēja tos atkārtoti izmantot, piemēram, kādas funkcijas izmaiņu gadījumā – tie nodrošina to, ka kādu funkciju izmaiņu gadījumā var ātri un ērti pārbaudīt vai konkrētās izmaiņas nav izmainījušas kādas citas funkcijas darbību un ļauj ātrāk atrast, identificēt un salabot jebkādas šāda veida problēmas. Gala rezultāts uzlabo iekārtu testu nodrošinājumu un uzlabo izstrādes proce…

Closure to “Experimental Study of the Stage-Discharge Relationship for an Upstream Inclined Grid with Longitudinal Bars” by C. Di Stefano and V. Ferro

2014

The discusser would like to thank the authors of the original paper for investigating the outflow process of an upstream inclined grid with longitudinal bars using the dimensional analysis and the incomplete self-similarity theory. The discusser, however, would like to add a few points. Using the theoretical analysis the authors of the original paper showed that a power equation can be used for establishing the stage-discharge equation of an upstream inclined grid with longitudinal bars. The authors of the original paper also showed that the coefficient and exponent of the power equation depend on the slope angle and the void ratio. They proposed a stage-discharge equation

Low-density-lipoproteins size and cardiovascular prevention

2005

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) size appears to be an important predictor of cardiovascular events and progression of coronary artery disease, and the predominance of small, dense LDL has been accepted as an emerging cardiovascular risk factor by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III. Yet, other authors have suggested that LDL subclass measurement does not add independent information to that conferred generically by LDL concentration and other standard risk factors. Therefore, the debate continues as to whether to measure LDL particle size for cardiovascular prevention and, if so, in which categories of patients. Since the therapeutic modulation of distinct LDL …

GSWABE: faster GPU-accelerated sequence alignment with optimal alignment retrieval for short DNA sequences

2014

In this paper, we present GSWABE, a graphics processing unit GPU-accelerated pairwise sequence alignment algorithm for a collection of short DNA sequences. This algorithm supports all-to-all pairwise global, semi-global and local alignment, and retrieves optimal alignments on Compute Unified Device Architecture CUDA-enabled GPUs. All of the three alignment types are based on dynamic programming and share almost the same computational pattern. Thus, we have investigated a general tile-based approach to facilitating fast alignment by deeply exploring the powerful compute capability of CUDA-enabled GPUs. The performance of GSWABE has been evaluated on a Kepler-based Tesla K40 GPU using a varie…

Schizophrenia patients who smoke have a faster finger tapping rate

2002

2003

In this article we apply the S(M, g)–calculus of L. Hormander and, in particular, results concerning the spectral invariance of the algebra of operators of order zero in ℒ(L2(ℝn)) to study generators of Feller semigroups. The core of the article is the proof of the invertibility of λ Id + P for a strongly elliptic operator P in Ψ(M, g) and suitable weight functions M and metrics g. The proof depends highly on precise estimates of the remainder term in asymptotic expansions of the product symbol in Weyl and Kohn–Nirenberg quantization. Due to the Hille–Yosida–Ray theorem and a theorem of Courrege, the result concerning the invertibility of λ Id + P is applicable to obtain sufficient conditio…

Creating Digital Musical Instruments With and for Children: Including Vocal Sketching as a Method for Engaging in Codesign

2020

International audience; A class of master of science students and a group of preschool children codesigned new digital musical instruments based on workshop interviews involving vocal sketching, a method for imitating and portraying sounds. The aim of the study was to explore how the students and children would approach vocal sketching as one of several design methods. The children described musical instruments to the students using vocal sketching and other modalities (verbal, drawing, gestures). The resulting instruments built by the students were showcased at the Swedish Museum of Performing Arts in Stockholm. Although all the children tried vocal sketching during preparatory tasks, few …
