Nationwide Access to Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Portugal

Introduction: Since the publication of endovascular treatment trials and European Stroke Guidelines, Portugal has re-organized stroke healthcare. The nine centers performing endovascular treatment are not equally distributed within the country, which may lead to differential access to endovascular treatment. Our main aim was to perform a descriptive analysis of the main treatment metrics regarding endovascular ...

A flexible monitor for assessing 3D video QoE in real-time

With the evolution of 3D technology, 3D IPTV services may prove to be a common service widely distributed by operators. So it is important that they have the necessary means to easily and inexpensively monitor the Quality of Experience (QoE) of this new service. Deployment of 3D video QoE monitors anywhere in the network will enable operators to adapt their service and network infrastructure in order to guarant...

Economic, social, energy and environmental assessment of inter-municipality com...

Commuting is one of the main contributors to the high energy consumption patterns in modern economies. The need to reduce the energy spent in commuting has attracted the attention of academics and policy makers. The main goal of this research is to improve knowledge of the economic, social, energy and environmental opportunity costs of inter-municipality commuting and to support policy-oriented strategies that ...

Optimal priority MDC video streaming for networks with path diversity

This paper proposes a robust video streaming scheme for priority networks with path diversity, based on a combined approach of multiple description coding (MDC) with optimal picture classification into two priorities. A binary classification algorithm is proposed to define high (HP) and low (LP) priority network abstraction layer units (NALU), which in turn define the packet priorities. An optimisation algorith...
