FPGA implementation of a deep learning algorithm for real-time signal reconstruction in particle detectors under high pile-up conditions

2019

The analog signals generated in the read-out electronics of particle detectors are shaped prior to the digitization in order to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR). The real amplitude of the analog signal is then obtained using digital filters, which provides information about the energy deposited in the detector. The classical digital filters have a good performance in ideal situations with Gaussian electronic noise and no pulse shape distortion. However, high-energy particle colliders, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, can produce multiple simultaneous events, which produce signal pileup. The performance of classical digital filters deteriorates in these conditions sinc…

Evaluación de una Intervención Mindfulness en Equipos de Cuidados Paliativos

2018

Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar los resultados de un programa breve de entrenamiento en mindfulness sobre la atención plena, la autocompasión y la calidad de vida profesional en equipos de cuidados paliativos. Para ello se llevó a cabo un estudio preexperimental pre-post. Participaron 36 profesionales de equipos de cuidados paliativos de Madrid (España). Se midió mindfulness, autocompasión y calidad de vida profesional. Las mediciones se realizaron al inicio y a las dos semanas de finalizada la intervención, que duró seis semanas. Los resultados de aplicación del programa se evaluaron mediante análisis de varianza multivariados (MANOVA). Tras la intervención se observó una m…

Managing Multi-center Flow Cytometry Data for Immune Monitoring.

2014

With the recent results of promising cancer vaccines and immunotherapy 1 – 5 , immune monitoring has become increasingly relevant for measuring treatment-induced effects on T cells, and an essential tool for shedding light on the mechanisms responsible for a successful treatment. Flow cytometry is the canonical multi-parameter assay for the fine characterization of single cells in solution, and is ubiquitously used in pre-clinical tumor immunology and in cancer immunotherapy trials. Current state-of-the-art polychromatic flow cytometry involves multi-step, multi-reagent assays followed by sample acquisition on sophisticated instruments capable of capturing up to 20 parameters per cell at a…

Validation of (68)Ge/(68)Ga generator processing by chemical purification for routine clinical application of (68)Ga-DOTATOC.

2008

Abstract Introduction Imaging of somatostatin receptor expressing tumours has been greatly enhanced by the use of 68 Ga-DOTATOC and PET/CT. Methods In this work, a purification method for the 68 Ge/ 68 Ga generator eluate and a method to produce 68 Ga-DOTATOC suitable for clinical use were evaluated. The generator eluate was purified and concentrated on a cation-exchange cartridge in HCl/acetone media. The efficacy of this procedure in eliminating metal impurities from the 68 Ga solution was investigated by ICP-MS. The radiotracer quality was evaluated by radio-TLC, GC and γ-ray spectrometry. Results 68 Ga-DOTATOC preparations ( n =33) were carried out with a mean synthesis yield of 59.3±2.…

Diagnostic yield of a one sample immunochemical test at different cut-off values in an organised screening programme for colorectal cancer

2013

Abstract Background Quantitative immunochemical faecal occult blood tests have become the recommended tests for colorectal cancer screening. The aim of this study was to complete our knowledge on the performance of one of the quantitative immunochemical tests available, FOB-Gold, and to propose a possible strategy for an organised screening programme. Patients and methods Within the French organised screening programme, 23,231 average-risk individuals, aged 50–74 performed both a 3-day Hemoccult test and a 1-day FOB-Gold test. Performances of the immunochemical test were evaluated at different cut-off levels. Results The positivity rate for the Hemoccult was 2.1% and for the FOB-Gold varied…
