A continuous decomposition of the Menger curve into pseudo-arcs

2000

It is proved that the Menger universal curve M admits a continuous decomposition into pseudo-arcs with the quotient space homeomorphic to M. Wilson proved [8] Anderson's announcement [1] saying that for any Peano continuum X the Menger universal curve M admits a continuous decomposition into homeomorphic copies of M such that the quotient space is homeomorphic to X. Anderson also announced (unpublished) that the plane admits a continuous decomposition into pseudo-arcs. This result was proved by Lewis and Walsh [4]. In a previous paper [6] the author has proved that each locally planar Peano continuum with no local separating point admits a continuous decomposition into pseudo-arcs. Applying…

Preliminary data concerning the morphology of a Calabrian Ionian margin area: Caulonia and Marina di Gioiosa canyons

2008

In the framework of the Vector National Italian Project (VulCost line), aimed to study the role of the morphology and the geology of the Ionian Calabrian margin in the coastline evolution, an oceanographic cruise was planned to collect geophysical data along two canyon systems: Caulonia and Marina di Gioiosa. The survey explored the continental shelf and slope from a depth of 15 m to more than 1150 m, using Multibeam Echosounder to investigate the seafloor topography. This work provides an outline of the erosive feature of the slope, shaped mostly by seasonal river input and by the connection to the structural and geological characteristics of the margin, made interesting by a narrow shelf …

Mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in chalcogenide and telluride fibers for sensor devices

2019

This thesis reports on the progress made during my PhD concerning supercontinuum generation and its application in two types of materials: chalcogenide and tellurite glasses. Concerning the chalcogenide axis, two new arsenic-free compositions are developed: Ge20Se60Te20 and Ge20Se70Te10. Thermal and optical properties of these two glasses are studied and two types of fibers are manufactured: a step-index fiber and a suspended core fiber. The generation of supercontinuum in these two fibres, pumped by an optical parametric amplifier, gives competitive results compared to the current state of the art of supercontinuum generation in chalcogenide fibres. Supercontinuums widening between 2 and 1…

Continuous measurement of cardiac output by the Fick principle in infants and children: comparison with the thermodilution method.

1996

To compare a system that continuously monitors cardiac output by the Fick principle with measurements by the thermodilution technique in pediatric patients.Prospective direct comparison of the above two techniques.Pediatric intensive care unit of a university hospital.25 infants and children, aged 1 week to 17 years (median 10 months), who had undergone open heart surgery were studied. Only patients without an endotracheal tube leak and without a residual shunt were included.The system based on the Fick principle uses measurements of oxygen consumption taken by a metabolic monitor and of arterial and mixed venous oxygen saturation taken by pulse- and fiberoptic oximetry to calculate cardiac…

Modeling in cardiovascular biomechanics

2010

In this review, we briefly summarize some of Professor K.R. Rajagopal's contributions to the field of cardiovascular mechanics and highlight some applications that have employed his theories and have expanded the ability to model the complex behaviors that characterize biological tissues. His contributions, spawning directly from the classical nonlinear theories of mechanics, have had general impact in diverse fields of engineering. Within biomechanics per se, Rajagopal's efforts have provided state-of-the-art modeling tools not only to characterize tissues, such as blood vessels, cerebral aneurysms, or blood, but also to characterize their evolution, i.e. vessel growth and remodeling or bl…

Abstract PO-35: Prognostic significance of MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 colocalization at single-cell resolution in DLBCL

2020

Abstract MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 are commonly used markers for immunohistochemistry of Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL). Coexpression of MYC and BCL2 in particular constitutes a subgroup of “double expressor lymphomas” (DEL) with a distinct poor clinical outcome. However, it is not known if MYC and BCL2/BCL6 coexpression occurs in the same cell or in different cells within the tumor, as traditional immunohistochemistry (IHC) is limited by the number of markers that can be simultaneously assessed within formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. We set out to discover the clinical significance of MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 colocalization at single-cell resolution using multiplexed quantita…

¿CUÁNTOS SOMOS? UNA EXCURSIÓN POR LAS ESTADÍSTICAS DEMOGRÁFICAS DEL INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE ESTADÍSTICA (INE)

2007

Francisco.J.Goerlich@uv.es Este trabajo presenta una reflexión en torno a la consistencia de las estadísticas demográficas que con más frecuencia se utilizan en la práctica, stocks de población y flujos de nacimientos, defunciones y saldos migratorios. Se ilustran numerosas inconsistencias, lo que hace dudar de la fiabilidad de algunas de estas estadísticas. Las estadísticas de población son básicas en cualquier país, ya sea moderno o en vías de desarrollo. Si no sabemos «cuantos somos», difícilmente sabremos «cuanto producimos». Los ejemplos se centran en un único proveedor de estadísticas, el Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE), y deben enmarcarse en un espíritu constructivo de mejora…

Automatic Temporal Expectancy: A High-Density Event-Related Potential Study

2013

How we compute time is not fully understood. Questions include whether an automatic brain mechanism is engaged in temporally regular environmental structure in order to anticipate events, and whether this can be dissociated from task-related processes, including response preparation, selection and execution. To investigate these issues, a passive temporal oddball task requiring neither time-based motor response nor explicit decision was specifically designed and delivered to participants during high-density, event-related potentials recording. Participants were presented with pairs of audiovisual stimuli (S1 and S2) interspersed with an Inter-Stimulus Interval (ISI) that was manipulated acc…
