Various types of motion and deformation the lung undergoes during minimally invasive tumor ablative procedures, e.g. Low Dose Rate (LDR) brachytherapy, have been investigated and modeled in this dissertation. Modeling such motions and deformations are highly necessary for enhancing the accuracy of lung’s Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). This necessity stems from the fact that due to its porous...

The use of biomarkers to refine patient populations, such that clinical trials will be most likely to provide a definitive answer requiring the fewest patients, is particularly appealing for application to research involving patients with a heterogeneous syndrome like ALI/ARDS. This could be beneficial by helping to characterize either a group of patients with a high mortality where mortality i...

RATIONALE We hypothesise that elafin levels in acute lung injury (ALI) decrease over time due, in part, to proteolytic degradation as observed in other lung diseases. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to characterise temporal changes in elafin concentration in patients with ALI and to evaluate whether a decrease in elafin levels is due to elevated protease activity. METHODS Bronchoalveol...

Acute lung injury (ALI) associated with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a systemic complication following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), but the incidence and influence on prognosis are unclear. The incidences of SIRS and ALI were surveyed in a prospective multicenter study of 96 patients admitted for SAH between December 2004 and June 2007. Hunt and Hess grade and Glasgow Out...

Para analisar um certo percurso da obra de Said Ali, decisivo na história das ideias linguísticas no Brasil, tomo dois acontecimentos. De lado a publicação Gramática Secundária (uma gramática normativa, que ele chama prática) e Estrutura Língua Portuguesa Mattoso Câmara, em 1970. Com esta análise procuramos refletir sobre questão do purismo, lado, consideração uma norma linguística outro. Podem...

In this paper, compressed sensing techniques are proposed to linearize commercial power amplifiers driven by orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signals. The nonlinear distortion is considered as a sparse phenomenon in the time-domain, and three compressed sensing based algorithms are presented to estimate and compensate for these distortions at the receiver using a few and, at times, ev...

Let G = (V (G), E(G), F (G)) be a simple, finite, connected, plane graph with the vertex set V (G), the edge set E(G) and the face set F (G). A labeling of type (1, 1, 1) assigns labels from the set {1, 2, . . . , |V (G)|+ |E(G)| + |F (G)|} to the vertices, edges and faces of a plane graph G, such that each vertex, edge and face receives exactly one label and each number is used exactly once as...
