the capability to preserve human oocytes, blastocysts, ovarian tissue and spermatozoa is an important tool in human assisted reproductive techniques. this preservation allows patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy to preserve their fertility, and helps to attain all benefits from the costly ovarian superovulation therapies prior to art. the primary goal in establishing an appropriate ...

  Introduction : Rabies is a disease that has been known since antiquity. It is a highly fatal acute disease of the central nervous system caused by a lyssavirus. Prior to the discovery of the rabies vaccine, rabies-infected individuals fell victim to the delusions and superstitions associated with this disease. Though it has been neglected in many regions of the world, rabies remains one ...

Neurodegeneration is a progressive and irreversible loss of neuronal cells in specific regions of the brain. Alzheimer Diseases (AD) Parkinson Disease (PD) are the most common forms of neurodegenerative diseases in older people. Exosomes are extracellular nanovesicles that have a key role in physiological processes such as intercellular communication, cell migration, angiogenesis, and anti-tumo...

This paper presents Halos Networks as a competitive architectural paradigm for developing future Internet of-with Things. A Halos Network is like a wireless network spontaneously emerging through the interactions of distributed resources embedding wireless communication capabilities. Halos Networks are capable of delivering services and data virally through multiple devices, machines and object...

In the past decade, several researchers have started reinvestigating the use of sub-phonetic models for lexical representations within automatic speech recognition systems. Lest history repeat itself, it may be instructive to mine the further past for models of lexical representations in the lexical access literature. In this work, we re-evaluate the model of Briscoe (1989), in which a hybrid s...

In future, the so called ”sensing enterprise”, as part of the Future Internet, will play a crucial role in the success or the failure of an enterprise. We present our vision of an enterprise interacting with the physical world based on a retail scenario. One of the main challenges is the interoperability not only between the enterprise IT systems themselves, but also between these systems and t...

We develop a novel visual approach to evaluating an Internet pricing scheme using a 3Dmetric model, which encompasses the dimensions of technical complexity, economic efficiency and social impact. We review the history of Internet pricing research over the last decade, summarizing the key features of the most significant models, and analyzing and evaluating them using our 3D model. Based on the...
