Extended- Range Marine Unmanned Surface Vehicles for Border Surveillance Missions

This work focuses on the development of extended-range marine unmanned surface vehicles (USV) for border surveillance missions. USVs present many advantages for marine applications due to their energy-saving capabilities and lack of in-board pilot needs. Nevertheless, due to their small scales, USVs often present reduced mission ranges. In order to overcome this handicap, this work proposes the application of i...

The mediator role of unmet needs on quality of life in myeloma patients

Purpose: The diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) has a significant impact on patients. This study analyzed the mediating role of patients' unmet needs in the relationship between psychological morbidity/social support and quality of life (QoL). Methods: This study included 213 patients with MM recruited from the outpatient medical oncology and clinical hematology services from five hospitals. Patients who meet t...

5GMEDE-5G mobile edge computing with enriched radio network information services

5G has a number of challenges to solve. Higher data usage and processing power necessities have emerged from the increasing number of mobile users as well as mobile applications becoming more and more demanding. There is a significant need to reduce the latency of the mobile network while cutting down on energy consumption. Backhaul traffic needs to be optimized to avoid setting up costly backhaul connections. ...

Absence of microsatellite instability and BRAF (V600E) mutation in testicular g...

Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the most common malignant neoplasm in young men. DNA mismatch repair deficiency can lead to microsatellite instability (MSI), an important mechanism of genetic instability. A mutation of the BRAF gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several solid tumors and has recently become an important therapeutic target. The role of MSI and BRAF gene mutation in TGCT, parti...

Polymorphisms in xenobiotic transporters ABCB1, ABCG2, ABCC2, ABCC1, ABCC3 and ...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological neoplasm that arises from a single clone of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. In Europe, 4.6/100 000 males and 3.2/100 000 females every year develop MM, with a median age at diagnosis around 60 years.

Nutrient dynamics in orange trees: the effect of soil fertility

Lime-induced iron (Fe) chlorosis is a nutritional disorder common in calcareous soils, which may result from a low level of Fe available or adverse factors that inhibit Fe mobilization and uptake by plants. Organic-matter amendments can prevent or correct Fe chlorosis in plants but the effect of endogenous soil organic matter (SOM) on this disorder is not known. The main subject of this work was to investigate ...
