BACKGROUND Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a valuable life saving intervention, which can improve the nutritional status of hospitalized malnourished patients. PN is associated with complications including hyperglycemia. This study was conducted to compare two methods of blood glucose control in traumatic brain injury patients on PN. MATERIALS AND METHODS A randomized, open-label, controlled tri...

This paper presents Integrated Information Theory (IIT) of consciousness 3.0, which incorporates several advances over previous formulations. IIT starts from phenomenological axioms: information says that each experience is specific--it is what it is by how it differs from alternative experiences; integration says that it is unified--irreducible to non-interdependent components; exclusion says ...

This paper deals with a foundational aspect of Integrated Information Theory (IIT) consciousness: the nature relation between axioms phenomenology and postulates cause-effect power. There has been lack clarity in literature regarding this crucial issue, for which IIT received much criticism its axiomatic method basic tenets. The present contribution elucidates problem by means categorial analys...

In this paper, we present an overview of the 3D object retrieval method that we employed in our participation to the Generic Models track of SHREC 2008 organized by the AIM@SHAPE network of excellence. The proposed methodology is detailed in [2]. Our method is based on a hybrid scheme where 2D features as well as 3D features are extracted from a 3D model which has been previously normalized for...

This paper describes our opinion retrieval system for TREC 2008 blog track. We focused on five different aspects of the system. The first module is focussed on extracting the blog content out from junk html and thereby decreasing the noise in the indexed content. The second module aims at removing various kind of spam content from real blogs. The third module aimed at retrieving the relevant do...

This letter introduces the BRL/Pisa/IIT (BPI) SoftHand: a single actuator-driven, low-cost, 3D-printed, tendon-driven, underactuated robot hand that can be used to perform range of grasping tasks. Based on adaptive synergies Pisa/IIT SoftHand, we design new joint system and tendon routing facilitate inclusion both soft synergies, which helps us balance durability, affordability performance hand...

One of the most mysterious phenomena in science is the nature of conscious experience. Due to its subjective nature, a reductionist approach is having a hard time in addressing some fundamental questions about consciousness. These questions are squarely and quantitatively tackled by a recently developed theoretical framework, called integrated information theory (IIT) of consciousness. In parti...
