SARS-CoV-2 and its impact on the cardiovascular and digestive systems – The interplay between new virus variants and human cells
2023
Since infection with the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 first emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019,the world has been battling the pandemic COVID-19. Patients of all ages and genders are now becoming infected with the new coronavirus variant (Omicron) worldwide, and its subvariants continue to pose a threat to health and life. This article provides a literature review of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal complications resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection. COVID-19 primarily caused respiratory symptoms, but complications can affect many vital organs. SARS-CoV-2 binds to a human cell receptor (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 – ACE2) that is predominantly expressed primarily in the heart a…
Considering syntrophic acetate oxidation and ionic strength improves the performance of models for food waste anaerobic digestion.
2021
Current mechanistic anaerobic digestion (AD) models cannot accurately represent the underlying processes occurring during food waste (FW) AD. This work presents an update of the Anaerobic Digestion Model no. 1 (ADM1) to provide accurate estimations of free ammonia concentrations and related inhibition thresholds, and model syntrophic acetate oxidation as acetate-consuming pathway. A modified Davies equation predicted NH3 concentrations and pH more accurately, and better estimated associated inhibitory limits. Sensitivity analysis results showed the importance of accurate disintegration kinetics and volumetric mass transfer coefficients, as well as volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and hydrogen up…

The IceCube data acquisition system: Signal capture, digitization, and timestamping
2008
IceCube is a km-scale neutrino observatory under construction at the South Pole with sensors both in the deep ice (InIce) and on the surface (IceTop). The sensors, called Digital Optical Modules (DOMs), detect, digitize and timestamp the signals from optical Cherenkov-radiation photons. The DOM Main Board (MB) data acquisition subsystem is connected to the central DAQ in the IceCube Laboratory (ICL) by a single twisted copper wire-pair and transmits packetized data on demand. Time calibration is maintained throughout the array by regular transmission to the DOMs of precisely timed analog signals, synchronized to a central GPS-disciplined clock. The design goals and consequent features, func…
Validación del subsistema de presentación de indicaciones del dispositivo ASFA Digital en el ferrocarril español
2012
En el año 2005, se inició un estudio para desarrollar el dispositivo ASFA digital en el que colaboraron Renfe, Adif, Invensys Rail Dimetronic, Ineco Tifsa y la Universidad de Valencia. En este proyecto, se desarrollaron las especificaciones técnicas y funcionales del sistema Embarcado ASFA Digital. La Universidad de Valencia participó en el diseño del subsistema de presentación de indicaciones del dispositivo ASFA Digital. La última etapa de este estudio es la validación del subsistema de presentación de indicaciones, objetivo de la presente tesis doctoral. Siguiendo las recomendaciones de estudios precedentes (Stevenson, et al., 2000), se ha dejado transcurrir cinco años, tiempo suficiente…
Clinical response to linaclotide at week 4 predicts sustained response in irritable bowel syndrome with constipation and improvements in digestive an…
2019
Background:Linaclotide is approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with constipation (IBS-C) in adults. This study aimed to assess factors predictive of a clinical response and improvements in non-IBS symptoms with linaclotide treatment in a Spanish patient population.Methods:In this open-label phase IIIb study, patients with moderate-to-severe IBS-C received linaclotide 290 μg once daily for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was clinical response at week 12, defined as >30% reduction in IBS symptom severity score (IBS-SSS) or IBS-SSS <75 plus self-reported response of feeling ‘better’ or ‘much better’ versus the baseline. Digestive nonintestinal an…
Fundamentals of 3D imaging and displays: a tutorial on integral imaging, light-field, and plenoptic systems
2018
There has been great interest in researching and implementing effective technologies for the capture, processing, and display of 3D images. This broad interest is evidenced by widespread international research and activities on 3D technologies. There is a large number of journal and conference papers on 3D systems, as well as research and development efforts in government, industry, and academia on this topic for broad applications including entertainment, manufacturing, security and defense, and biomedical applications. Among these technologies, integral imaging is a promising approach for its ability to work with polychromatic scenes and under incoherent or ambient light for scenarios fro…
Ricerche in tema di società questuarie
2019
Intorno al regime delle società di tipo questuario – riconducibili agli schemi teorici della societas universorum quae ex quaestu veniunt – e delle società unius alicuius negotiationis e unius rei, si profusero gli sforzi interpretativi dei giuristi romani, fin dalla fine dell’età repubblicana. La monografia scientifica ripercorre le tracce della individuazione della nozione stessa di quaestus (guadagno), con particolare riferimento alla inclusione al suo interno delle donazioni cd. remuneratorie; ancora, ricostruisce il dibattito giurisprudenziale sorto intorno alla questione se i soci – nella determinazione delle quote – dovessero rispettare una proporzione rispetto ai conferimenti, con u…
Digestion and absorption rates of [3H]-oleic acid and [14C]-triolein do not differ in rats fed heated (-) and (+) gossypol cottonseed and soybean flo…
1998
This study was conducted to compare in vivo the acute effects of heated (+) and (-) gossypol cottonseed flours with those of soybean flour on lipid digestion and absorption in growing rats. Rats were fed by gastric intubation mixed [ 3 H]-oleic acid and [ 14 C]-triolein with heated flours or without flour (control). Lipid digestion and absorption were determined for 6 h after meal intubation. Both radioactivities recovered in gastrointestinal tract were significantly higher in rats fed (+) gossypol cottonseed flour than in all other groups. The majority of both recovered radioactivities was found in stomach contents, then in stomach wall and finally in intestinal wall. The distribution of b…
