The infrared behaviour of the φ 3-theory is discussed stressing analogies with the Witten-Seiberg story about N = 2 QCD. Though the microscopic theory is apparently not integrable, the effective theory is shown to be integrable at classical level, and a general solution of it in terms of hypergeometric functions is obtained. An effective theory for the multiparticle soft scattering is sketched.

Quantitation of cell density in tissues has proven problematic over the years. The manual microscopic methodology, where an investigator visually samples multiple areas within slides of tissue sections, has long remained the basic 'standard' for many studies and for routine histopathologic reporting. Nevertheless, novel techniques that may provide a more standardized approach to quantitation of...

This paper aims to present and describe a methodology for Information Strategic Planning (ISP) project aligned to the Business Plan starting, from a case study in Senac-PR as well as its challenges and difficulties. The results and contributions show the feasibility of this ISP Project and the detailing of the methodology execution. The conclusion reiterates the importance of the ISP methodolog...

Video magnification is a computational procedure to reveal subtle variations during video frames that are invisible to the naked eye. A new spatio-temporal method which makes use of connectivity based mapping of the wavelet sub-bands is introduced here for exaggerating of small motions during video frames. In this method, firstly the wavelet transformed frames are mapped to connectivity space a...

A rare case of microscopically sized thymoma is described in a 56 year old man suffering from myasthenia gravis. Histological examination of the surgically removed thymus showed the presence of several epithelial thymoma-like islands. As controls, 100 thymuses obtained from consecutive necropsies were sampled: 4% of these cases showed epithelial islands. This case is further proof that "microsc...
