Fusion of multimodal data by combining the uncertainty and perception models
2019
The general idea is to use together heterogeneous multiple information on the same problem tainted by imperfections and coming from several sources in order to improve the knowledge of a given situation. Appropriate visualization of the images to aid in decision making using the perceptual information carried by the salience maps.
L'INDIRIZZO PAIDEUTICO DI UN MAESTRO DELL'ANTICO MONACHESIMO: AD QUARTUM ... PERVENIRE (CASSIAN., CONL., 3,10)
2008
Nella paideia monastica di Giovanni Cassiano, cui si è richiamato nel tardo impero romano tutto il monachesimo occidentale e in particolare quello gallico e provenzale (S. Pricoco, V. Messana), si rintracciano e si focalizzano quattro gradi o momenti, fasi o tappe di progresso nel cammino di perfezione, tutti e quattro rispettivamente e parallelamente fondati sui quattro sensi della Scrittura (historia, tropologia, allegoria, anagogia), e ancorati ai quattro tipi dell''eucologia paolina di 1Tim. 2,1 (obsecratio, oratio, postulatio, gratiarum actio).
Distributed medical images analysis on a Grid infrastructure
2007
In this paper medical applications on a Grid infrastructure, the MAGIC-5 Project, are presented and discussed. MAGIC-5 aims at developing Computer Aided Detection (CADe) software for the analysis of medical images on distributed databases by means of GRID Services. The use of automated systems for analyzing medical images improves radiologists’ performance; in addition, it could be of paramount importance in screening programs, due to the huge amount of data to check and the cost of related manpower. The need for acquiring and analyzing data stored in different locations requires the use of Grid Services for the management of distributed computing resources and data. Grid technologies allow…
Pēdējais Pinguicula alpina L. paraugs no Staburaga
1961
LU Muzeja Botānikas un mikoloģiju kolekciju herbārijā glabājas vairāki alpu kreimules herbāriji, kas ievākti gan Igaunijā, gan Latvijā. Auga vienīgā dabiskā augtene Latvijā bija Staburags, kas tika apludināts līdz ar HES būvniecību. Vēlākos gados tā bija atrodama arī Raunas Staburagā. Alpu kreimules paraugi LU Muzejā glabājas Herbarium Latvicum (RIG II), Herbarium Balticum (RIG I), Herbarium Lakshewitzi (RIG III) un Jāņa Ilstera herbārijā. Herbarium Latvicum glabājas pēdējais uz Staburaga Botāniķes Gaidas Ābeles (dz. 1931. gadā) ievāktais paraugs.
Liposomally-entrapped ganciclovir for the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis in AIDS patients
1992
Treatment of retinitis by cytomegalovirus (CMV) in AIDS patients requires frequent repetitive injections of intravitreal ganciclovir (GCV). This study was undertaken to establish experimentally whether the intravitreal application of liposomally-entrapped GCV could prolong intraocular therapeutic levels when compared with the intravitreal injection of free GCV, and the clinical effectiveness of this approach in AIDS patients. Intraocular concentration of GCV was determined by means of an ELISA test in rabbit vitreous 2, 3, 7, and 14 days after a single intravitreal injection of either different doses of the free drug (0.2-20 mg) or 1 mg of liposomally-entrapped GCV. After 72 h, only the vit…
Design of antitumor drugs targeting c-kit receptor by a new mixed ligand-structure based method
2020
An important challenge, in the medicinal chemistry field, is the research of novel forceful drugs to overcome tumor-acquired resistance. The c-Kit tyrosine kinase receptor (TKR) represents a suitable target for the carcinogenesis control of gastro-intestinal stromal (GIST), leukemia, and mastocytosis tumors; nevertheless, several hotspot mutations of the protein limit the efficacy of a few clinical administered TKRs inhibitors. In this study, a new in silico protocol based on ligand and structure-based combined method is proposed, with the aim to identify a set of new c-Kit inhibitors able to complex c-Kit mutated proteins. A recent and freely available web-server DRUDIT is used for the lig…
GASTROINTESTINAL COMPLICATIONS DURING USE OF ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS FOR ORTHOPEDIC DISEASES
2011
Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are molecules that inhibit the functionality of cyclooxygenase, resulting in suppression of prostaglandin production. Primary physicians and specialist clinics frequently prescribe NSAIDs for the treatment of osteoarticular diaseases such as tendinitis, bursitis, synovitis, spondylitis and osteoarthritis. This analysis aims to study gastrointestinal complications in orthopedic patients, caused by the use of NSAIDs, employng esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy.
Computer-aided calculation of the molecular size of nondenatured proteins in pore-gradient gel electrophoresis
1991
A computer program written in Turbo C is described, which uses the two-step mathematical procedure published recently (Rothe, G. M., Electrophoresis 1988, 9, 307-316) to evaluate the molecular mass, Stokes' radius, spherical radius, and frictional coefficient of nondenatured proteins. The program runs on any IBM-PC or 100% compatible IBM-PC, provided the disk operating system MS-DOS or PC-DOS 3.0 or later has been installed. Functions that are permanently in use are accessible by menu. Storage and loading of data from disk and help instructions can be called by use of function keys. The program provides several tables into which inserted and calculated data is automatically integrated. Each…
The Division of Labour Within Households: Men’s Increased Participation?
2018
Unequal division of domestic labor has been seen as a one of the most commonly documented feature on gender inequality in the western countries. The relevance of studying the division of labour in the household has actualized as female participation rates in paid labour have increased and changes in employment systems have taken place. Division of labor refers to the amount and share of time men and women spend in paid and unpaid work. Unpaid work includes domestic chores such as cleaning, repairs, preparing meals, but also caring for children. Unpaid work is usually divided in three subgroups: core household tasks i.e. housework, repairs and household upkeep and child care. Paid and unpaid…
Data Analytics in Healthcare: A Tertiary Study
2022
AbstractThe field of healthcare has seen a rapid increase in the applications of data analytics during the last decades. By utilizing different data analytic solutions, healthcare areas such as medical image analysis, disease recognition, outbreak monitoring, and clinical decision support have been automated to various degrees. Consequently, the intersection of healthcare and data analytics has received scientific attention to the point of numerous secondary studies. We analyze studies on healthcare data analytics, and provide a wide overview of the subject. This is a tertiary study, i.e., a systematic review of systematic reviews. We identified 45 systematic secondary studies on data analy…
