A multi-layer probing approach for video over 5G in vehicular scenarios

Fifth generation (5G) technologies are becoming a reality throughout the world. In parallel, vehicular networks rise their pace in terms of utilization; moreover, multimedia content transmissions are also getting an always increasing demand by their users. Besides the promised performance of 5G networks, several questions still arise among the community: are these networks capable of delivering high quality vid...

Impact of an Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme on the Prescription of Carbape...

Introduction: An Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme (AMSP) has been implemented in our hospital in the second semester of 2017. One of the goals was the reduction of the consumption of carbapenems and quinolones. This study aims to evaluate the evolution of the consumption of these drugs during the two years after implementing this programme. Methods: We analyzed the prescriptions of carbapenems and quinolones...

Intraspecific diversity affects stress response and the ecological performance ...

Fungi play an important role in organic matter turnover and ensure key ecosystem services in freshwaters. The relationships between intraspecific fungal diversity and key ecological processes remain largely unknown. We examined the effects of intraspecific diversity of Articulospora tetracladia, a cosmopolitan fungal decomposer thriving on plant detritus in streams. Alder leaves were inoculated with 1 or mixtur...

Loss of MTAP expression is a negative prognostic marker in Ewing sarcoma family...

AIM: The Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) is a group of malignant small round cell neoplasms of bones and soft tissues closely histogenetically related. Methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) deficiency has been recently associated with increased tumor aggressiveness and poor outcomes in different types of neoplasms. However, the expression of this biomarker and its biological role in ESFT remain largely...

Fast and secure automatic retrieval of data from multi-vendor devices - The por...

Nowadays protection systems generate large amounts of useful data. The most important of which are the oscillographic records, because they allow: fault location estimation; validation of relay settings; validation of coordination among protections. This important information traditionally resided in the protection units and could only be retrieved through vendor proprietary software. Retrieving this informatio...

Impactos do cobre e do metalaxil-M em cadeias tróficas detritívoras em ribeiros

Os detritos vegetais são a principal fonte de nutrientes e energia em ribeiros florestados de baixa ordem. As cadeias alimentares dependentes de detritos desempenham um papel fundamental no ciclo dos nutrientes nos rios. Os microrganismos, particularmente os fungos, são os principais intervenientes no processo de decomposição e a sua actividade aumenta a palatabilidade dos detritos vegetais para os invertebrado...
