Methods 60 healthy volunteers, 60 patients with dilative cardiomyopathy, 40 patients with AL amyloidosis and 25 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy underwent a CMR examination. 4 different techniques for the measurement of LAS were consecutively evaluated. Two of the techniques (LAS-epi/perp and LAS endo/perp) were assessed by measuring the distance between the epicardium or endocardium o...

Part 1 comments on the types of local anaesthetics (LAs); it provides a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of LAs, and their pharmacokinetics and toxicity. It reviews the newer LAs such as levobupivacaine, ropivacaine, and articaine, and examines the newer structurally different LAs. The addition of adjuvants such as adrenaline, bicarbonate, clonidine, and corticosteroids is explo...

A location-aware service (LAS) is an imperative topic in ambient intelligence; an LAS recommends suitable utilities to a user based on the user’s location and context. However, current LASs have several problems, and most of these services do not last. This study proposes an optimization-based approach for enhancing the sustainability of an LAS. In this paper, problems related to optimizing an ...

n el nacimiento de la era de la información, las disciplinas académicas consideradas como básicas son las Ciencias de la Computación, la Ingeniería de Cómputo y los Sistemas de Información. La Ingeniería de Cómputo aporta las innovaciones de “hardware”. Además de los fundamentos teóricos de la computación, el científico de la computación aporta a las innovaciones de “hardware” los elementos de ...

Es consciente, culturalmente competente y políticamente enganchada. Trabaja con recursos de su conocimiento específico, aliados a los intereses de ...

Degradation of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) in UASB reactors was optimized by varying the bioavailability of LAS based on the concentration of biomass in the system (1.3-16 g TS/L), the hydraulic retention time (HRT), which was operated at 6, 35 or 80 h, and the concentration of co-substrates as specific organic loading rates (SOLR) ranging from 0.03-0.18 g COD/g TVS.d. The highest degra...

Abstract Nowadays supply chain management has become one of the powerful business concepts for organizations to gain a competitive advantage in global market. This is the reason that now competition between the firms has been replaced by competitiveness among the supply chains. Moreover, the popular literature dealing with supply chain is replete with discussions of leanness and agility. Agile ...
