Inspired by the rapid growth and proliferation of crypto-assets, we propose Catalyst – the first investment platform that enables developers to build, test, and execute micro crypto-funds. Through Catalyst, developers can access Enigma’s decentralized data marketplace protocol [15] and consume valuable crypto-data that can be used in their strategies. Catalyst is therefore the first application...

BACKGROUND Rheumatic diseases are associated with an increased fracture risk. The tissue level characteristics of the bone involvement in children have not been well elucidated. Our objectives were to describe the bone micro-architectural characteristics in children with rheumatic diseases on chronic glucocorticoids, and to determine associations between micro-architectural findings with clinic...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Concerns for patient's risk of radiation-induced cancer have increased demand for reduced-dose coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Previous comparisons of full and reduced-dose CCTA were not conclusive, because results were compared in different groups of patients. Presented here are results in patients examined by a widely used full dose CCTA protocol and ...

BACKGROUND Grapefruit juice impacts the metabolism of a number of drugs via inhibition of a variety of metabolic enzymes. This study evaluated the impact of grapefruit juice on the antiplatelet activity of a loading dose and 7 days of maintenance therapy with clopidogrel. METHODS Healthy volunteers participated in two separate treatment protocols. The first protocol included a single 300 mg l...

60-year-old woman was treated for a brain metastasis. The patient received intensity-modulated radiation therapy (SIB-IMRT) dose of 30 Gy for the whole brain and 40 Gy delivered simultaneously to individual brain metastases in 10 fractions. The present report investigated the influence of applied novel prepared treatment plan, among others the fractionation protocol on the electroencephalogram ...

The Child-Specific Aggregate Cumulative Human Exposure and Dose (CACHED) framework integrates micro-level activity time series with mechanistic exposure equations, environmental concentration distributions, and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic components to estimate exposure for multiple routes and chemicals. CACHED was utilized to quantify cumulative and aggregate exposure and dose estima...

ID: 18959 Title: Micro-Dosimetry Study of the Radiation Dose Enhancement at the Gold-Tissue Interface for Nanoparticle-Aided Radiation Therapy

This work has been carried out in the framework of the Whyless.com project, which aims at providing wireless communications, by exploiting the Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology, and relying on IP as network layer protocol. Our aim is to analyze the behavior of the Mobile IP protocol in micro-pico cellular wireless networks, where handover events are frequent. We decompose the delay introduced by...
