We report on a research effort aiming at the development of an acoustic bird activity detector (ABAD), which plays an important role for automating traditional biodiversity assessment studies – presently performed by human experts. The proposed on-line ABAD is considered an integral part of an automated system for acoustic identification of bird species, which is currently under development. In...

A topological duality for monadic n-valued Lukasiewicz algebras introduced by M. Abad (Abad, M.: Estructuras cíclica y monádica de un álgebra de Lukasiewicz nvalente. Notas de Lógica Matemática 36. Instituto de Matemática. Universidad Nacional del Sur, 1988) is determined. When restricted to the category of Q-distributive lattices and Q-homomorphims, it coincides with the duality obtained by R....

It is well established that the intracellular accumulation of Aβ (amyloid β-peptide) is associated with AD (Alzheimer's disease) and that this accumulation is toxic to neurons. The precise mechanism by which this toxicity occurs is not well understood; however, identifying the causes of this toxicity is an essential step towards developing treatments for AD. One intracellular location where the...

BACKGROUND The outcome of patients with acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) is strongly related to their clinical presentation. The purpose of this study was to investigate predictors for mortality among patients presenting with ABAD and to create a predictive model to estimate individual risk of in-hospital mortality using the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD). METHO...

BACKGROUND The clinical profiles and outcomes of patients treated surgically for acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) are often reported for those in small series or for those cared for at a single institution over a long time period, during which a continuous evolution in techniques has occurred. Accordingly, we sought to evaluate the clinical features and surgical results of patients enrolle...
