MR-Tomographie bei Hodenprozessen
1992
The value of T1-weighted sequences after intravenous administration of Gd-DTPA and of T2-weighted sequences was compared in 43 patients suspected of having scrotal abnormalities. T2-weighted sequences gave better demonstration of the tunica albuginea and better contrast between tumor and parenchyma. The two techniques were equally sensitive for demonstrating testicular tumors but orchitis was better demonstrated on the contrast enhanced sequences. Motion artifacts were less marked in the T1-weighted sequences with contrast enhancement. In selected cases, contrast enhancement may be a valuable addition to native protocols. Our experience has indicated that MRI provides specific findings in c…
Effects of dexamethasone on human synovial fibroblast-like cells, from osteoarthritic joints, in culture.
1990
The effect of Dexamethasone (DEX) on cell division and macromolecular synthesis was investigated in a line (McCoy cells, A 9) of synovial fibroblast-like cells derived from human osteoarthritic joints. DEX markedly reduced the proliferation of McCoy cells in a time and dose-dependent manner. The maximal inhibition (45%) was found at 500 nM DEX 24 h after incubation and was accompanied by the appearance of giant macrophage-like cells. After DEX treatment cells showed increased content of DNA, proteins and RNA together with the reduction of [3H]-thymidine incorporation into the TCA-precipitable fraction.
Prese urbane. Studi di enunciazioni cittadine
2017
Distinguished and diverse theorists such as Benveniste, Barthes, De Certeau and Lotman have each approached the city in different ways. But while several key differences exist between them, their points of view intertwine around the concept of urban enunciation and intersect at differing points. In this study, the positions of these authors will be presented, compared and elaborated upon and the categories of linguistic enunciation of urban space will be set out, drawing from a vision of translation between languages that frequently leads, as is so often the case in Semiotics, to productive analytical models. The linguistic signs of the city will also be illustrated by examples of "short fo…
Espiral. Cuadernos del profesorado
2016
Vicente Peydró fue una de las figuras artísticas más destacadas de la Valencia de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, en una etapa que se denomina Renaixença. Su trabajo como compositor, periodista, poeta, actor y dibujante le convirtieron en una persona sumamente conocida, querida y respetada por todos los valencianos. En el presente trabajo se realiza una propuesta didáctica desde la metodología de Aprendizaje por Proyectos (PBL) en el alumnado de secundaria y bachillerato. La figura de Peydró es idónea para enseñar a nuestros alumnos de secundaria los valores que deben regir en el arte, ya que este autor demostró poseer unos inquebrantables principios morales. Asimismo, su eclécti…
Overview of ghost correction for HDR video stream generation
2015
International audience; Most digital cameras use low dynamic range image sensors, these LDR sensors can capture only a limited luminance dynamic range of the scene[1], to about two orders of magnitude (about 256 to 1024 levels). However, the dynamic range of real-world scenes varies over several orders of magnitude (10.000 levels). To overcome this limitation, several methods exist for creating high dynamic range (HDR) image (expensive method uses dedicated HDR image sensor and low-cost solutions using a conventional LDR image sensor). Large number of low-cost solutions applies a temporal exposure bracketing. The HDR image may be constructed with a HDR standard method (an additional step ca…
Jauna stereoredzes testa izstrāde krustotās un nekrustotās disparitātes novērtēšanai
2017
Darbs uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 49 lappusēm. Tas satur 47 attēlus, 3 tabulas un atsauces uz 27 literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis bija izstrādāt jaunu datorizētu stereoredzes testu krustotās un nekrustotās disparitātes novērtēšanai. Lokālās un globālās stereoredzes sliekšņi tika novērtēti pielietojot psihofizikālo trepju metodi. Pētījuma dalībnieku uzdevums bija atpazīt telpiskus attēlus. Stimuliem tika izvēlēti dažādi ekspozīcijas laiki – 5 sekundes (ilgais laiks), 550 ms un 250 ms (īsie laiki). Stereoredzes novērtēšanai papildus tika pielietoti tradicionālie stereotesti – TNO, Titmus tests. Pētījumā piedalījās 37 dalībnieki vecumā no 16 līdz 42 gadiem. Rezultāti tika salīdzināti ņemot vēr…
Krustotās un nekrustotās disparitātes stereoslieksnis dažādos vecumos
2020
Maģistra darbs uzrakstīts uz 75 lappusēm, satur 40 attēlus, 10 tabulas un darbā ir atsauces uz 100 literatūras avotiem. Maģistra darba mērķis bija novērtēt krustotās un nekrustotās disparitātes atšķirības dažāda vecuma cilvēkiem. Pētījuma dalībnieki tika iedalīti četrās vecuma grupās. Pētījumā piedalījās 61 dalībnieks (vecumā no 19 līdz 78 gadiem). Pētījuma dalībniekiem nebija acu slimības, redzes asums bija vismaz 0,0 vai labāks (LogMAR sistēmā). Stereoredzes noteikšanai tika izmantots digitālais izliedēto punktu globālā principa stereotests, kopā ar pakāpjveida psihofizikālo metodi. Pētījums parādīja, ka nekrustotās disparitātes stimulu sliekšņi vienmēr bija augstāki, salīdzinot ar krusto…
FLUMO: FLexible Underwater MOdem
2019
The last years have seen a growing interest in underwater acoustic communications because of its applications in marine research, oceanography, marine commercial operations, the offshore oil industry and defense. High-speed communication in the underwater acoustic channel has been challenging because of limited bandwidth, extended multipath, refractive properties of the medium, severe fading, rapid time variation and large Doppler shifts. In this paper, we show an implementation of a flexible Software-Defined Acoustic (SDA) underwater modem, where modulation parameters are completely tunable to optimize performance. In particular, we develop the system architecture following two key ideas. …
Digital Device Usage Time and Ocular Symptoms during COVID-19 Pandemic
2021
Bakalaura darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 25 lappusēm. Tas satur 10 attēlus, 6 tabulas un 22 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Šī pētījuma galvenais mērķis bija novērtēt kā digitālo ierīču lietošanas izmaiņas ikdienā pirms Covid-19 pandēmijas un pandēmijas laikā Itālijā ietekmē acu nogurumu. Digitālo ierīču ietekme uz acīm tika novērtēta, apkopojot pētījuma dalībnieku atbildes uz anketas jautājumiem. Digitālo ierīču izmantošana mūsdienās ir plaši izplatīta, tās ir jāizmanto, bet ievērojot nepieciešamos piesardzības pasākumus, lai neradītu traucējumus redzes un psihiskajā sistēmās.
Developmental dyslexia: Visual abnormalities during ocular rotation
2005
[u]Purpose[/u]: Most of the studies dealing with visual perception disabilities in children suffering from developmental dyslexia have been done in orthophoric position. The objective of the present study is to explore the visual perception during eye movements. [u]Methods[/u]: Sixty male patients (11.8 ± 1.8 years) were examined by neuropsychologists to evaluate reading difficulties. Visual perception during ocular rotation was assessed with a Clement Clarke synoptophore with G3–G4 slides, in primary gaze, then laterally at 20, 30 and 40° in dim light. [u]Results[/u]: Three main abnormalities were found. • Isolated perception abnormalities with intermittent shading of the image, central, p…
