Infective Endocarditis: Preliminary Results of a Cohort Study in the Southern Italian Population.
2020
Background Infective endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon disease with an involved interplay of clinical and surgical team management. We aimed to define diagnosis parameters and delineate in-hospital management in patients with IE admitted in a tertiary hospital of Southern Italian. Materials and methods Fifty-six consecutive patients (42 males, 14 females; age range: 34-85 years) admitted for IE in the Infectious Diseases, Cardiac Surgery, and Cardiology units, between January 2011 and August 2017, were enrolled. Demographic data, mortality, comorbidities, specimen type, microscopy results, special histological staining performed, and antimicrobial therapy were collected and analyzed. Any com…
Uusien 5G-teknologioiden energiatehokkuus
2016
Mobiiliverkkojen datamäärän kasvaessa räjähdysmäisesti tarvitaan uutta 5G-teknologiaa lisäämään langattomien verkkojen kapasiteettia. 5G-verkkoja kehitettäessä yksi tärkeä tutkimuskysymys on, kuinka saada niistä energiatehokkaita. Tässä tutkielmassa käydään läpi tieteellistä keskustelua aiheesta. Tieteellisestä keskustelusta keskeisimmiksi teknologioiksi 5G-verkkoihin nousevat muun muassa laitteistotekniikan kehittyminen, millimetriaallot, kognitiivinen radioverkko, massiivinen MIMO ja heterogeeninen verkko. Tarvitaan kuitenkin lisää tutkimusta ja kehitystyötä, jotta uusista 5G-verkoista saadaan riittävän energiatehokkaita. The amount of mobile data will grow radically and that's why we nee…
Energiatehokkaan mobiilisovellusohjelmoinnin välineitä
2017
Älypuhelimista on tullut suosittuja ja ne ovat kehittyneet nopeasti, tarjoten jatkuvasti tehokkaampia suorittimia sekä nopeampia langattomia verkkotekniikoita. Laitteiston kehittyminen on luonut markkinat entistä monipuolisemmille ja kehittyneemmille mobiilisovelluksille, mutta mobiililaitteiden käytettävyys riippuu kokonaan niiden akun mahdollistamasta käyttöajasta. Niinpä sovelluskehittäjien on pystyttävä tarjoaman energiatehokkaita sovelluksia, joissa on silti monimutkaisia toimintoja. Energiatehokkaiden sovellusten kehittäminen vaatii kuitenkin energiatehokkaan ohjelmoinnin käytänteitä ja menetelmiä valittujen ratkaisujen energiankulutuksen arviointiin. Tässä työssä suoritetaan kattava …
Les modalités iconiques dans le discours médié par ordinateur: du neuf dans l'interaction?
2018
Graphic modalities (emoticons, emoji, GIF…) are often presented as one of the distinctive features of computer-mediated interaction. In what may be the first reference book on computer-mediated communication (also known as CMC), American linguist Susan C. Herring goes as far as calling them a “unique feature” of digital interaction (Herring 1996, 3). Since then, many linguists have tempered this view and shown that graphic modalities are by no means specific to CMC. However, they remain one of its salient features. Are they, then, to be considered as an evolution or a revolution in interaction? The real question is indeed what they bring to computer-mediated communication, and their status …
The Role of Fc Receptors on the Effectiveness of Therapeutic Monoclonal Antibodies.
2021
Since the approval of the first monoclonal antibody (mAb) in 1986, a huge effort has been made to guarantee safety and efficacy of therapeutic mAbs. As of July 2021, 118 mAbs are approved for the European market for a broad range of clinical indications. In order to ensure clinical efficacy and safety aspects, (pre-)clinical experimental approaches evaluate the respective modes of action (MoA). In addition to antigen-specificity including binding affinity and -avidity, MoA comprise Fc-mediated effector functions such as antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and the closely related antibody dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). For this reason, a variety of cell-based assays have…

MOVILIDAD, TENENCIA Y DEMANDA DE VIVIENDA EN ESPAÑA
2003
Mobility studies take into account that housing tenure has a high influencethrough transaction costs. If benefit of change is greater than costs, the household willchange their dwelling, if not the household stays even though their consumption is notthe optimum. Our aim is to analyse the behaviour of Spanish households that facemobility and tenure decisions, taking into account that they are endogenous given theclose relation between both: the tenure selected depends on the future decisionregarding mobility and expected future mobility depends on the present decision abouttenure. Together with these decisions, we will analyse factors that determine thehousing services demand for recent move…
Multicriteria Decision Aiding for Planning Renewable Power Production at Moroccan Airports
2022
This study is about multicriteria decision aiding (MCDA) for the green airports program of the Moroccan Airport Authority ONDA. The goal of the program is to develop significant amounts of renewable power at airports. In particular, ONDA wants to select airports at which large solar and wind power parks should be built. Multiple criteria, including economy, technical feasibility, and environmental concerns, must be considered simultaneously. In this study, we apply Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA) for ranking the candidates to be developed into green airports. The analysis is conducted in phases with different sets of criteria. This study is the first application of MC…
A SUMOylation-defective MITF germline mutation predisposes to melanoma and renal carcinoma
2011
International audience; So far, no common environmental and/or phenotypic factor has been associated with melanoma and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The known risk factors for melanoma include sun exposure, pigmentation and nevus phenotypes; risk factors associated with RCC include smoking, obesity and hypertension. A recent study of coexisting melanoma and RCC in the same patients supports a genetic predisposition underlying the association between these two cancers. The microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) has been proposed to act as a melanoma oncogene; it also stimulates the transcription of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF1A), the pathway of which is targeted by kidney canc…
Multilevel Latent Profile Analysis With Covariates : Identifying Job Characteristics Profiles in Hierarchical Data as an Example
2018
Latent profile analysis (LPA) is a person-centered method commonly used in organizational research to identify homogeneous subpopulations of employees within a heterogeneous population. However, in the case of nested data structures, such as employees nested in work departments, multilevel techniques are needed. Multilevel LPA (MLPA) enables adequate modeling of subpopulations in hierarchical data sets. MLPA enables investigation of variability in the proportions of Level 1 profiles across Level 2 units, and of Level 2 latent classes based on the proportions of Level 1 latent profiles and Level 1 ratings, and the extent to which covariates drawn from the different hierarchical levels of th…
