Clinical symptomatic de novo systemic transthyretin amyloidosis 9 years after domino liver transplantation
2009
Four years ago, Stangou et al. reported a patient who developed clinical symptoms of amyloidosis 8 years after domino liver transplantation (DLT). In order to alleviate the graft shortage, livers from patients with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) are used as domino grafts for other patients under the assumption that several decades will pass before clinical symptoms due to amyloid accumulation emerge. We now report on another case, the third reported case in the literature, of de novo systemic amyloidosis in a 75-year-old woman 9 years after DLT. The patient underwent DLT at 65 years of age for hepatocellular carcinoma exceeding the Milan criteria in hepatitis C cirrhosis. Transar…
Interaction of the Alternating Double Stranded Copolymer poly(dA-dT)·poly(dA-dT) with NiCl2and CdCl22: Solution Behavior
2007
The thermal denaturation of the synthetic high molecular weight double stranded polynucleotide poly(dA-dT) x poly(dA-dT) has been studied in aqueous buffered solution (Tris 1.0 mM; pH 7.8+/-0.2) in the presence of increasing concentrations of either Ni(2+) (borderline cation) or Cd(2+) (soft cation) at four different constant ionic strength values (NaCl), making use of UV and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies. The experimental results show that the B-type double helix of the polymer is stabilized against thermal denaturation in the presence of both cations at low concentrations, relative to the systems where only NaCl is present, in the same conditions of ionic strength and pH. The eff…

On Pietsch measures for summing operators and dominated polynomials
2012
We relate the injectivity of the canonical map from $C(B_{E'})$ to $L_p(\mu)$, where $\mu$ is a regular Borel probability measure on the closed unit ball $B_{E'}$ of the dual $E'$ of a Banach space $E$ endowed with the weak* topology, to the existence of injective $p$-summing linear operators/$p$-dominated homogeneous polynomials defined on $E$ having $\mu$ as a Pietsch measure. As an application we fill the gap in the proofs of some results of concerning Pietsch-type factorization of dominated polynomials.
On holomorphic functions attaining their norms
2004
Abstract We show that on a complex Banach space X , the functions uniformly continuous on the closed unit ball and holomorphic on the open unit ball that attain their norms are dense provided that X has the Radon–Nikodym property. We also show that the same result holds for Banach spaces having a strengthened version of the approximation property but considering just functions which are also weakly uniformly continuous on the unit ball. We prove that there exists a polynomial such that for any fixed positive integer k , it cannot be approximated by norm attaining polynomials with degree less than k . For X=d ∗ (ω,1) , a predual of a Lorentz sequence space, we prove that the product of two p…
ean-Square Filtering for Polynomial System States Confused with Poisson Noises over Polynomial Observations
2011
Published version of an article in the journal: Modeling, Identification and Control. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.4173/mic.2011.2.1 In this paper, the mean-square filtering problem for polynomial system states confused with white Poisson noises over polynomial observations is studied proceeding from the general expression for the stochastic Ito differentials of the mean-square estimate and the error variance. In contrast to the previously obtained results, the paper deals with the general case of nonlinear polynomial states and observations with white Poisson noises. As a result, the Ito differentials for the mean-square estimate and error variance corre- spon…
Sørlandsporten Teknologinettverk som næringsklynge : hvilke styrker og svakheter har Sørlandsporten Teknologinettverk som regional klynge?
2014
Masteroppgave Innovasjon og kunnskapsutvikling ME513 - Universitetet i Agder 2014 Tema for denne oppgaven har vært hvilke styrker og svakheter Sørlandsporten Teknologinettverk (STN) har som en regional næringsklynge. STN er en næringsklynge innenfor mekanisk industri som er lokalisert i øst-regionen av Aust- Agder. Det er for tiden 16 ulike bedrifter tilknyttet nettverket, som samlet sysselsetter rundt 700 personer og omsetter for over en milliard NOK i året. En næringsklynge kan defineres som en kritisk masse av bedrifter i ulike deler av verdikjeden lokalisert i samme region, og har i ulike grad noen oppgraderingsmekanismer som gjør at klyngedeltakerne oppnår synergieffekter ved å delta f…
Visual acuity with computer simulated and lens-induced astigmatism
2014
[EN] The relationship between spherical and astigmatic refractive errors and their associated visual acuity is investigated in this work by means of two different approaches. In the first one, different refractive errors were induced in normal subjects by trial lenses. In the second one, defocused images were simulated numerically by the optical transfer function of a model eye and then judged by the same subjects. The amount of defocus (measured in terms of the modulus of the dioptric power vector) necessary to reduce the visual acuity to 0.1 logMAR and to 0.4 logMAR was computed with each method and then compared. We found that the visual system is clearly more tolerant to lens-induced de…
Optical quality comparison between 2 collagen copolymer posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens designs
2014
Purpose To compare the optical quality in vitro of 2 designs of the Visian Implantable Collamer Lens phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) for different powers and optical apertures. Setting University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain. Design Experimental study. Methods The Nimo TR1504 deflectometry device was used to measure the V4c pIOL, which has a smaller optic diameter, and the V5 pIOL, which has a larger optic diameter. The pIOLs were measured for −3.00 diopters (D), −6.00 D, −9.50 D, and −10.50 D at different optical apertures from 3.00 to 6.00 mm depending on the IOL power and model. The root mean square of higher-order aberrations (RMS HOAs) was analyzed. The Strehl ratio, point-spread functi…
Optical phase retrieval using four rotated versions of a single binary amplitude modulating mask
2019
In recent years, phase retrieval methods recovering the phase of an object from coded diffraction patterns have gained popularity. A numerical phase retrieval method called PhaseLift that recovers the phase of an object from a very limited number of coded diffraction patterns was recently proposed. Performance of PhaseLift has been analyzed for different types and the number of masks modulating an object. We present a unique application of PhaseLift that uses four rotations of a single mask, modulating only the amplitude of an object. In simulations, a phase screen with the root-mean-square (RMS) value 0.294 μm was used as the test object. The RMS value of the retrieved phase screen after …
