Collagen type IV-related nephropathies in Portugal: pathogenic COL4A5 mutations...

Pathogenic mutations in genes COL4A3/COL4A4 are responsible for autosomal Alport syndrome (AS) and thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN). We used Sanger sequencing to analyze all exons and splice site regions of COL4A3/COL4A4, in 40 unrelated Portuguese probands with clinical suspicion of AS/TBMN. To assess genotype-phenotype correlations, we compared clinically relevant phenotypes/outcomes between homozygo...

PoolLiveAid: augmented reality pool table to assist inexperienced players

PoolLiveAid is an augmented reality tool designed to assist unskilled or amateur pool, or snooker or billiards players in predicting trajectories. A camera placed above the table acquires and processes the game on-the-fly. The system detects the table border, the ball's position an the pool cue direction in order to compute the predictable trajectory of the white ball, and the ball directly in its trajectory. T...
