Mineral and Bone Disease (MBD) on a Kidney Transplant Patient

A 50-year-old post-menopausal recipient of a kidney allograft with bone pain, osteoporosis, persistent hypercalcaemia and elevated parathormone (PTH) levels, despite a satisfactory graft function, was treated with bisphosphonates and cinacalcet starting, respectively, 5 and 6 months after renal transplantation (RT). Sixteen months after treatment, there was improvement of bone mineral density (BMD) measured by ...

Dynamic graphical user interface generation for web-based public display applic...

Public digital displays are moving towards open display networks, resulting in a shift in the focus from single-purpose public displays that are developed with a single task or application in mind, to general- purpose displays that can run several applications, developed by different vendors. In this new paradigm, it is important to facilitate the development of interactive public display applications and provi...

Interaction Tasks and Controls for Public Display Applications

Is axenicity crucial to cryopreserve microalgae?

Large culture collections of microalgae and cyanobacteria such as the Coimbra Collection of Algae (ACOI) hold unialgal cultures consisting of a population of cells/colonies of a certain species. These cultures are usually non-axenic, as other organisms such as bacteria and microfungi are also present in culture due to co-isolation. Attention has been recently given to partner organisms since studies indicate th...

Modeling of airport rigid pavement structure made of RCC and recycled cement co...

This paper presents the results of the research undertaken by the authors in the frame of the postdoctoral program 4D-POSTDOC. After a short introduction on the actual status of structural design of airport pavements including geometrical and loading characteristics of complex loading gears, the modeling and the structural design of airport rigid pavements, constructed with conventional and various recycled mat...

Mobile applications for open display networks : common design considerations

Mobile devices can be a powerful tool for interaction with public displays, but mobile applications supporting this form of interaction are not yet part of our everyday reality. There are no widely accepted abstractions, standards, or practices that may enable systematic interaction between mobile devices and public displays. We envision public displays to move away from a world of closed display networks to sc...

Evaluation of a programming toolkit for interactive public display applications

Interaction is repeatedly pointed out as a key enabling element towards more engaging and valuable public displays. Still, most digital public displays today do not support any interactive features. We argue that this is mainly due to the lack of efficient and clear abstractions that developers can use to incorporate interactivity into their applications. As a consequence, interaction represents a major overhea...

Design considerations for application selection and control in multi-user publi...

Urban spaces are increasingly embedded with various types of public digital displays. Many of these displays can be subject to multi-user interactions and support a broad range of applications. A fundamental implication emerging from the interactive nature of those applications is that users should have access to appropriate selection and control techniques that would allow them to drive the way applications ar...

A familial partial AZFb-c microdeletion associated with diferente fértile pheno...

After the Klinefelter syndrome, Y chromosome microdeletions are the second most frequent genetic cause of spermatogenic failure resulting in male infertility. Y chromosome microdeletions, encompassing one or more of the three AZF regions, are associated with diverse testicular histology, ranging from Sertoli-cell-only syndrome (AZFa del), maturation arrest (AZFb del) to hypospermatogenesis (AZFc del). The molec...
