No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2007-11-01; This report presents the capabilities of the CMS experiment to explore the rich heavy-ion physics programme offered by the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The collisions of lead nuclei at energies , will probe quark and gluon matter at unprecedented values of energy density. The prime goal of this res...
Introdution: Aneurismal disease involving the thoracoabdominal segment adds significant complexity to endovascular aortic repair. Objective: Evaluate institutional experience of a tertiary center in fenestrated and branched aneurysm repair for throracoabdominal or juxtarenal aortic aneurysms Methods: Retrospective analysis of a consecutive series of patients treated by endovascular repair using fenestrate...
Introdution: Aneurismal disease of the iliac arteries is present in 11 to 43% of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Iliac branched devices (IBDs) enable the preservation of internal iliac arteries minimizing the risk for complications related to its intentional occlusion. Methods: Retrospective analysis of a consecutive series of patients selected for the endovascular repair of aneurysmatic disease using IBD...
The importance of Human Capital accumulation in order to achieve greater economic growth is not neglected in economic theory. In this paper we look at the importance of human capital for enhancing the effect of another factor, inward foreign direct investment (FDI), that may affect growth. Governments in all continents now compete actively for FDI but not all countries reap the full benefits from it. Our study ...
This paper revisits the relationship between FDI and economic growth. While the relationship between FDI, growth and the role of the moderating variable ‘absorptive capacity’ has been intensely debated, the identification of the minimum thresholds of absorptive capacity for a positive effect from FDI to arise remains largely unexplored. For this reason, two threshold variables - host country’s human capital lev...
One way of evaluation the quality of the Health Care, aims the introduction of «Health Care Quality Assurance», and to set up the lines of intervention and of standardization of the clinical performances. ln this work we have seen 439 clinical processes of four medical services of the Hospital Distrital de Viseu, identified by letters «À», «B», «C» and «D». The global results are between «Suficient» and «...
