Nasal IgE in subjects with allergic and non-allergic rhinitis
2020
Abstract Purpose The prevalence of "ocal allergic rhinitis" within individuals suffering from perennial rhinitis remains uncertain, and patients usually are diagnosed with non-allergic rhinitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of a potential "local allergic rhinitis" in subjects suffering from non-allergic rhinitis in a non-selected group of young students. Methods 131 students (age 25.0 ± 5.1 years) with a possible allergic rhinitis and 25 non-allergic controls without rhinitis symptoms (age 22.0 ± 2.0 years) were recruited by public postings. 97 of 131 students with rhinitis were tested positive (≥3 mm) to prick testing with 17 frequent allergens at visit 1. Twenty-fo…
Adopting magnetocaloric heat pumping and refrigeration for electrical vehicle
2017
International audience; Refrigeration process is based on conventional gas compression and expansion techniques. However, this technique has numerous disadvantages since it generates greenhouse gas and is partly responsible for global warming. This paper exposes analternative method: magnetocaloric refrigeration that presents the advantage to combine high-energy efficiency and respect of theenvironment. Magnetic heat pumping and cooling is compared to conventional method applied on vehicle air conditioning system.Simulation results are used to demonstrate the approach.
Suckling odours in rats and mice: biological substrates that guide newborns to the nipple
2011
Proceedings Paper 12th Meeting of the Chemical Signals in Vertebrates, Aug 28-31, 2011, Berlin, GERMANY ; http://www.springer.com/life+sciences/ecology/book/978-1-4614-5926-2; International audience; It is a general strategy for mammalian females to emit odour signals to direct their offspring to the mammae and to motivate their suckling. The survival of newborns depends on their own capacities to exploit the cues emitted by their mother, or by conspecific lactating females, and to direct their behaviour to the vital targets on the mother's body-the nipples. This chapter synthesises data on some natural substrates that contribute to nipple searching and grasping in the newborns of (laborato…
Emissions of Greenhouse Gases and Climate Politics in the Latvian Waste Sector
2015
According IPCC guidelines for determination of greenhouse gases in waste management (IPCC 2006) the quantity of greenhouse gases must be determined for the emissions of CO2, CH4, N2O for such treatment activities: disposal of solid waste, biological treatment of solid waste and incineration and open burning of waste. Presented report reviles the current situation of this field in Latvia and conclusions on its minimization actions. The data received from Latvian environmental data bases shows that the quantity of disposed unsorted municipal waste is rising and created sanitary landfill system with anaerobic digestion of bio mas (the content of it in the disposed waste reaches 40–50 %) is pro…
Statistical methods for the comparison of measurements derived from orthodontic imaging
2000
Biometric comparison procedures for dental imaging methods with continuous outcome were reviewed, mainly concentrating on assessment and comparison of accuracy and precision according to the study design. Univariate graphical and numerical representations of corresponding deviations were summarized to derive a 'check list' of minimum information necessary to compare the measurement methods. The methods reviewed in this investigation are illustrated by the comparison of conventional (radiographic) cephalometry versus assessment using the DigiGraph in 50 female children. A paired t-test and the corresponding confidence interval approach were used to assess deviations in location of two imagin…
Mājas automatizācijas sistēma
2016
Kvalifikācijas darbs “Mājas automatizācijas sistēma” dod iespēju lietotājam veikt manipulācijas ar sistēmā reģistrētām ierīcēm. Ierīču lietotājam nav jābūt arī ierīces īpašniekam, kas sistēmu padara elastīgu ģimenēm un draugiem. Kvalifikācijas darba mērķis ir izveidot sistēmu, kas ir viegli lietojama un ierīkojama jebkurā mājoklī. Lai pilnvērtīgi lietotu aplikāciju ir jāveic divas darbības: 1. Jāizveido lietotāja piekļuves konts. 2. Jāreģistrē jaunu ierīci vai jāpieprasa lietošanas tiesības kāda lietotāja ierīcei. Sistēmā pilnvērtīgi var lietot divu veidu ierīces – slēdzi, kurš strādā balstoties uz bināra principa, un signalizācija, kura veic paziņojumus lietotājam, par drošības pārkāpumu. …

 Title: Assessing the Tradition Building "Orin Tagan" Community of Kitaung Nita Sikka District
 "Orin tagan" is an elevated house with 1 meter height underneath space (lewu) in Nita Village, Sikka Regency. The interaction among different cultural groups resided in the island of Flores had influenced one another, particularly in house building tradition. Research on housebuilding tradition in Nita Village is still scarce, only a few researches focused on building tradition at Nita Village. So some researches are sought based on similar themes (theme: building tradition) and similar locations (location: Kampung Nita, Sikka Regency). This research problem formulation i…
Life Cycle Assessment of an Ambitious Renovation of a Norwegian Apartment Building to nZEB Standard
2018
Author's accepted manuscript. The upgrading of building infrastructure to modern standards represents a key tool for reducing global energy demand and emissions from buildings. In Norway, building upgrades have been prioritized despite the relatively low carbon intensity of the Norwegian energy mix through various incentive programs and continual improvement in building standards. Prioritizing upgrades is important as up to 90% of the existing Norwegian building stock is expected to remain standing by the year 2050. The overall impact of upgrading buildings is expected to be a net benefit to the environment but this is primarily in operation, and many studies on energy do not include the ma…
Urbanismo en la Marca Oriental de al-Andalus durante el Califato (940-974) : el ejemplo de madina Turtusa a través de las fuentes arqueológicas y esc…
2021
En este texto presentaremos las principales reformas que en la ciudad de ?ur??sa y su entorno mas inmediato se llevaron a cabo durante las decadas centrales del siglo X. Entendemos que el periodo comprendido entre los anos 940 y 974 supusieron un lapso de relativa estabilidad a ambos lados de la frontera entre al-Andalus y los condados catalanes. Es durante este momento cuando situamos una especialmente remarcable actividad por parte del Estado, a traves de los gobernadores de la ciudad, de refuerzo de las estructuras defensivas y arquitectonicas dentro del ambito urbano y periurbano. Analizaremos los casos de las murallas o el arsenal a nivel militar y la mezquita aljama o los banos en cua…
Is the NZEB Benchmarking Approach Suitable for Assessing Energy Retrofit Design?
2013
Currently, many effort have been done to enable energy saving issues in building design and many definitions have been introduced for most performing constructions based on energy balance between energy demand and supply. Recently, the Net Zero Energy Building theory has bypassed old Passive House concept but many questions still remain open. Present work aims to estimate how NZEB requirements matching could be affected by the choice of their definition and the choice of weighting factor system, to be count in the energy balance. NZEB concept is mainly referred to new buildings design. Its application to existing buildings is for sure an hard task provided the architecture and physical cons…
