Fona adaptācijas ietekme uz datorizētā krāsu sakārtošanas un FM-100 testa rezultātiem
2021
Šis darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 25 lappusēm, 16 attēliem, 1 tabulas un 27 atsaucēm. Gandrīz daudzi cilvēki cieš no iedzimta vai iegūta krāsu redzes deficīta. Tīklenē ir fotopigments, kas ir atbildīgs par krāsu redzi, ko sauc par konusu, kurā konusos esošajam opsinam ir izšķiroša nozīme krāsu uztverē, un viss mehānisms ir pabeigts smadzeņu pakauša daivā. Šis pētījums tika veikts 15 dalībniekiem, veicot krāsu redzamības novērtējumu FM-100, kas veikts datorā ar atšķirīgu fonu, lai zinātu datorizētā izvietojuma testa fona un FM-100 krāsu redzes testa rezultātu sekas. Pētījuma secinājums par virzīšanos uz priekšu no viena testa uz otru, ti, testa rezultāts ir hromatisks vai ahromatisks, …
Chromoendoscopy: What Is Its True Value for Ulcerative Colitis Surveillance?
2010
Advanced imaging technologies are enabling targeted biopsies or endoscopic resections due to better visualization of the mucosal architecture. This new concept of ‘smart biopsies’ is in particular important for patients with higher risk for development cancer (e.g. ulcerative colitis) but can also be beneficial for screening purposes. This short review will focus on new imaging modalities like chromoendoscopy, digital chromoendoscopy, high-definition endoscopy and confocal laser endomicroscopy in the lower GI tract which will be crucial in the future to detect colorectal neoplasia earlier then before.
Children's implicit knowledge of harmony in Western music.
2005
Three experiments examined children's knowledge of harmony in Western music. The children heard a series of chords followed by a final, target chord. In Experiment 1, French 6- and 11-year-olds judged whether the target was sung with the vowel /i/ or /u/. In Experiment 2, Australian 8- and 11-year-olds judged whether the target was played on a piano or a trumpet. In Experiment 3, Canadian 8- and 11-year-olds judged whether the target sounded good (i.e. consonant) or bad (dissonant). The target was either the most stable chord in the established musical key (i.e. the tonic, based on do, the first note of the scale) or a less stable chord. Performance was faster (Experiments 1, 2 and 3) and m…
Sensor Fusion Localization and Navigation for Visually Impaired People
2018
In this paper, we present an innovative cyber physical system for indoor and outdoor localization and navigation, based on the joint utilization of dead-reckoning and computer vision techniques on a smartphone-centric tracking system. The system is explicitly designed for visually impaired people, but it can be easily generalized to other users, and it is built under the assumption that special reference signals, such as colored tapes, painted lines, or tactile paving, are deployed in the environment for guiding visually impaired users along pre-defined paths. Differently from previous works on localization, which are focused only on the utilization of inertial sensors integrated into the s…
Striving for Significance: The Relationships Between Religiousness, Spirituality, and Meaning in Life
2015
The aim of this study was to investigate whether religiousness and spirituality are associated with meaning in life, and which dimensions of religiousness and spirituality show the closest links with meaning in life. It was assumed that those religious and spiritual dimensions which are most imbued with meaning would be more significant for the presence of meaning than for the search for meaning in life. Two studies were conducted. The results of Study 1 showed that the “religious meaning system” was positively associated with “meaning in life,” with stronger connections for “presence of meaning” than for “search.” As regards “religious coping,” positive coping was positively related to pre…

ESMO Consensus Guidelines for management of patients with colon and rectal cancer. A personalized approach to clinical decision making
2012
Contains fulltext : 111010pub.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common tumour type in both sexes combined in Western countries. Although screening programmes including the implementation of faecal occult blood test and colonoscopy might be able to reduce mortality by removing precursor lesions and by making diagnosis at an earlier stage, the burden of disease and mortality is still high. Improvement of diagnostic and treatment options increased staging accuracy, functional outcome for early stages as well as survival. Although high quality surgery is still the mainstay of curative treatment, the management of CRC must be a multi-modal approach pe…
Synthèse de ligands macrocycliques comportant des fragments aromatiques et leur application pour la détection des cations métalliques
2011
The PhD thesis deals with the synthesis of polyazaligands using Pd-catalyzed amination of aryl halides. The manuscript consists of two parts. In the first part the scope of the Pd-catalyzed amination reaction for the synthesis of polyazamacrocyclic ligands is studied. The Pd-catalyzed amination of 2,7-dibromonaphthalene, 3,3’-dibromobiphenyl and 6,6’-dibromo-2,2’-bipyridyl with linear polyamines and oxadiamines is thoroughly investigated, and corresponding nitrogen- and oxygen-containing macrocycles is synthesized in yields up to 45%. The dependence of the formation of macrocycles and cyclic oligomers on the nature of the starting compounds is established. Two alternative approaches to cycl…
Pentaquark decay width in QCD sum rules
2005
In a diquark-diquark-antiquark picture of the pentaquark we study the decay $\Theta \rightarrow K^{+} n$ within the framework of QCD sum rules. After evaluation of the relevant three-point function, we extract the coupling $g_{\Theta nK}$ which is directly related to the pentaquark width. Restricting the decay diagrams to those with color exchange between the meson-like and baryon-like clusters reduces the coupling constant by a factor of four. Whereas a small decay width might be possible for a positive parity pentaquark, it seems difficult to explain the measured width for a pentaquark with negative parity.
Quantum Non-Markovian Collision Models from Colored-Noise Baths
2019
A quantum collision model (CM), also known as repeated interactions model, can be built from the standard microscopic framework where a system S is coupled to a white-noise bosonic bath under the rotating wave approximation, which typically results in Markovian dynamics. Here, we discuss how to generalize the CM construction to the case of frequency-dependent system–bath coupling, which defines a class of colored-noise baths. This leads to an intrinsically non-Markovian CM, where each ancilla (bath subunit) collides repeatedly with S at different steps. We discuss the illustrative example of an atom in front of a mirror in the regime of non-negligible retardation times.
