There is a well-established trend towards the effective use of the Broadband (BB) telecommunication facilities. Information Society Technologies (IST) is impacting our lives. Foresight on IST in the European Research Area (FISTERA) has been producing scenarios for studying the possible situation in Europe in 2015 and beyond. In particular the Workshops held in Seville, in June 2004 [1] and in M...

OBJECTIVE Acceptable noise level (ANL) has been established as a method to quantify the acceptance of background noise while listening to speech presented at the most comfortable level. The aim of the present study was to generate Danish, Swedish, and a non-semantic version of the ANL test and investigate normal-hearing Danish and Swedish subjects' performance on these tests. DESIGN ANL was m...

Introdução: No mundo observa-se uma grande quantidade de infecções por IST, o que as torna um problema global. Diante tal fato, SUS oferece testes rápidos e gratuitos, são seguros baixo custo. A realização desses em massa faz com metas possam ser traçadas para determinada população. Objetivos: analisar perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes procuraram a Atenção Básica na cidade Araguari-MG no perí...

The HIV-1 promoter directs the synthesis of two classes of transcripts, short, non-polyadenylated transcripts and full-length, polyadenylated transcripts. The synthesis of short transcripts is activated by a bipartite DNA element, the inducer of short transcripts or IST, located downstream of the HIV-1 transcriptional start site, while the synthesis of full-length transcripts is activated by th...

As Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (ISTs) são enfermidades transmitidas prioritariamente por via sexual desprotegida. São consideradas um problema de saúde pública mundial, que apresenta grande ascensão nos últimos anos. Além disso, os universitários estão particularmente propensos a desenvolver hábitos risco com relação práticas sexuais. O objetivo deste trabalho é levantar literatura exi...

O processo de envelhecimento populacional e as mudanças no comportamento sexual da população idosa, por meio dos métodos para contornar disfunções sexuais, juntamente com a resistência em usar preservativo têm gerado um novo cenário epidemiológico acerca das infecções sexualmente transmissíveis idosos nos últimos anos, notável o aumento do número casos. objetivo é identificar prevalência casos ...

Impulsive Stimulated Thermal Scattering (ISTS) is an in-situ non-destructive characterization technique based on laser excitation and detection of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) for mechanical properties of thin metal films in the microelectronic industry. In this work, the effect of elastic anisotropy from silicon wafers on ISTS measurements has been studied. It has been shown that for films of...

Optical intersubband transitions (ISTs) for both in-plane polarization (TE) and normalto-plane polarization (TM) in p-type Si1-xGex/Si multiple quantum wells (MQWs) are investigated using 14-band k⋅p model combined with the envelope-function Fourier expansion method. The results show that the amplitudes of different intersubband transitions for TE and TM polarizations, and the overall absorptio...

In our paper we present our rule-based system for semantic processing. In particular we show examples and solutions that may be challenge our approach. We then discuss problems and shortcomings of Task 2 – iSTS. We comment on the existence of a tension between the inherent need to on the one side, to make the task as much as possible “semantically feasible”. Whereas the detailed presentation an...
