Performance of PSI, CURB-65, and SCAP scores in predicting the outcome of patients with community-acquired and healthcare-associated pneumonia
2011
The objective was to compare three score systems, pneumonia severity index (PSI), the Confusion-Urea-Respiratory Rate-Blood pressure-65 (CURB-65), and severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP), for prediction of the outcomes in a cohort of patients with community-acquired (CAP) and healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP). Large multi-center, prospective, observational study was conducted in 55 hospitals. HCAP patients were included in the high classes of CURB-65, PSI and SCAP scores have a mortality rate higher than that of CAP patients. HCAP patients included in the low class of the three severity rules have a significantly higher incidence of adverse events, including development of septi…
MoMo: enabling hybrid museums
2005
Present-day museums are not mere passive institutions for the preservation of a society's cultural heritage. They have become instead learning environments, research centres and even tourist attractions. The paper introduces the notion of a hybrid museum (HM) in which wireless personal digital devices (PDAs) are used to tailor digital contents to the visitor to enrich both the learning and entertainment experience. The paper describes a fully functional hybrid museum infrastructure (MoMo) implemented with the.NET compact framework running on the PocketPC platform. Several research challenges that had to be faced during the implementation of the system such as the exploration of large sets o…
Sporta pasākumu organizācijas vietne
2022
Sports ir cilvēka dzīves neatņemama sastāvdaļa. Daudzi sporta veidi prasa noteiktu cilvēku skaitu. Bieži gadās, ka nevaram savākt vajadzīgo cilvēku skaitu. Gadās arī tā, ka trenēties vienam ir vienkārši garlaicīgi. Sporta pasākumu organizācijas vietne ir SPA (Single Page Application) lietotne, kas paredzēta sportistu savienošanai un iepazīstināšanai. Šī lietotne ļauj veidot sporta pasākumus, un lietotāji, savukārt, var tajos piedalīties. Šai lietotnei ir arī karte, kurā var atzīmēt dažāda veida sporta laukumus, piemēram, skeitparku vai tenisa kortu.
Motivations, engagement and adoption of e-WOM in restaurants.
2022
Resumen El objetivo del presente trabajo fue estudiar el efecto que tienen las motivaciones para consultar y escribir e-WOM sobre el compromiso con el e-WOM y la influencia de dicho compromiso en la adopción del e-WOM consultado. Para analizar estas relaciones, se realizó una investigación empírica aplicada en el contexto de los restaurantes. El ámbito geográfico fue Ecuador, con una muestra de 461 consumidores. Se utilizó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales y se validó la cadena de relaciones. Los resultados confirmaron las relaciones entre estas variables; además, se presentaron implicaciones académicas interesantes para profundizar en el estudio sobre el compromiso con el e-WOM, así co…
Revisionismo histórico y racismo en la jurisprudencia constitucional : los límites de la libertad de expresión (a propósito de la STC 235/2007)
2007
Después de plantear la contradicción existente en la jurisprudenciaconstitucional que, por una parte, admite el revisionismo histórico conel límite del respeto a la dignidad y, por otra parte, reconoce con lamáxima amplitud la libertad ideológica, se analiza la STC 235/2007que ha declarado inconstitucional el delito de negación del genocidioy, en cambio, ha considerado constitucional la penalización de la justificacióndel genocidio. Esta sentencia ha clarificado parcialmente lasituación del revisionismo histórico y, en general, de la difusión de ideascontrarias a la Constitución pero sigue existiendo aquella contradicción;no obstante, ha aportado elementos como la distinción entreideas y ac…
Optimal mass transportation for costs given by Finsler distances via p-Laplacian approximations
2016
Abstract In this paper we approximate a Kantorovich potential and a transport density for the mass transport problem of two measures (with the transport cost given by a Finsler distance), by taking limits, as p goes to infinity, to a family of variational problems of p-Laplacian type. We characterize the Euler–Lagrange equation associated to the variational Kantorovich problem. We also obtain different characterizations of the Kantorovich potentials and a Benamou–Brenier formula for the transport problem.
Systematic and statistical uncertainties of the hilbert-transform based high-precision FID frequency extraction method.
2021
Abstract Pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is widely used in high-precision magnetic field measurements. The absolute value of the magnetic field is determined from the precession frequency of nuclear magnetic moments. The Hilbert transform is one of the methods that have been used to extract the phase function from the observed free induction decay (FID) signal and then its frequency. In this paper, a detailed implementation of a Hilbert-transform based FID frequency extraction method is described, and it is briefly compared with other commonly used frequency extraction methods. How artifacts and noise level in the FID signal affect the extracted phase function are derived analytical…
Metrological Properties of the Test Setup for Determination Shielding Effectiveness of the Industrial Cable Connectors
2017
Abstract The paper presents results related to assessment of the repeatability and reproducibility of the measurement test setup for determination the relative value of the shielding effectiveness coefficient of the industrial connectors. The construction of the proposed test setup, the measurement method and the procedure for the analysis of measurement results were described. To determine the value of the repeatability and reproducibility coefficient, the two–way analysis of variance was used, which additionally allows for an assessment of the influence of individual sources of variance. The measurements and their analysis were conducted for several frequencies in the range up to 1 GHz. A…
Impact of internal variability on projections of Sahel precipitation change.
2017
12 pages; International audience; The impact of the increase of greenhouse gases on Sahelian precipitation is very uncertain in both its spatial pattern and magnitude. In particular, the relative importance of internal variability versus external forcings depends on the time horizon considered in the climate projection. In this study we address the respective roles of the internal climate variability versus external forcings on Sahelian precipitation by using the data from the CESM Large Ensemble Project, which consists of a 40 member ensemble performed with the CESM1-CAM5 coupled model for the period 1920–2100. We show that CESM1-CAM5 is able to simulate the mean and interannual variabilit…
Multispectral high resolution sensor fusion for smoothing and gap-filling in the cloud
2020
Remote sensing optical sensors onboard operational satellites cannot have high spectral, spatial and temporal resolutions simultaneously. In addition, clouds and aerosols can adversely affect the signal contaminating the land surface observations. We present a HIghly Scalable Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model (HISTARFM) algorithm to combine multispectral images of different sensors to reduce noise and produce monthly gap free high resolution (30 m) observations over land. Our approach uses images from the Landsat (30 m spatial resolution and 16 day revisit cycle) and the MODIS missions, both from Terra and Aqua platforms (500 m spatial resolution and daily revisit cycle). We implem…
