Evaluación del plano terminal y clase canina en niños de 4 a 6 años de edad de la Unidad Educativa 24 de Mayo de la provincia de Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas

This study was carried out with the purpose of knowing the prevalence of the terminal plane and the canine class in children from 4 to 6 years old who belong to the Educational Unit May 24 of the Province of Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas. The research was conducted in 34 children of both sexes who were randomly chosen with the appropriate informed consent, signed by the parents or representatives. Using previously, biosecurity measures such as cap, gloves, mask, apron and bib, to correctly evaluate the terminal plane and the canine class were analyzed clinically with a mirror, and bite records and dental impressions were taken to each child for their emptying. Subsequently, the clinical analysis was performed through the terminal planes, rectum, mesial step terminal plane, distal end plane, which are observed according to the second upper and lower bilateral temporal molars, bilateral upper and lower temporal canines, for canine classes, one , two and three. A result of 73.5 percent of children who presented a straight plane, the mesial end plane was 14.7 percent, and the distal end plane was 8.8 percent, while in the canine class which was found, 97.05 percent with class one and in class three was 2.9 percent, and no canine class two was found. There was a slight difference between the sexes in terms of the terminal planes, since male dominated, on the other hand, the female class one predominated in the female sex, since 2.94 percent in the canine class three predominated in the male sex, that is, only one child. As for the ages evaluated, the 5-year-old children had a greater degree of canine class one and three with a total of 41.17 percent, as well as in the terminal plane, mesial step and distal step with a total of 41, 17 percent. It is important to evaluate early the type of bite of the pediatric patient, to achieve an interceptive treatment

Space-Time Coding for MIMO Radar Detection and Ranging

Space-time coding (STC) has been shown to play a key role in the design of MIMO radars with widely spaced antennas: In particular, rank-one coding amounts to using the multiple transmit antennas as power multiplexers, while full-rank coding maximizes the transmit diversity, compromises between the two being possible through rank-deficient coding. In detecting a target at known distance and Doppler frequency, no uniformly optimum transmit policy exists, and diversity maximization turns out to be the way to go only in a (still unspecified) large signal-to-noise ratio region. The aim of this paper is to shed some light on the optimum transmit policy as the radar is to detect a target at an unknown location: To this end, at first the Cramer-Rao bounds as a function of the STC matrix are computed, and then waveform design is stated as a constrained optimization problem, where now the constraint concerns also the accuracy in target ranging, encapsulated in the Fisher Information on the range estimate. Results indicate that such accuracy constraints may visibly modify the required transmit policy and lead to rank-deficient STC also in regions where pure detection would require pursuing full transmit diversity.
Financial and institutional reforms for the entrepreneurial society

In this project we will analyse the broader contexts of smart, inclusive and sustainable growth in Europe to support implementation of the Commission’s 'Europe 2020' growth strategy and to restore Europe’s ability to innovate, grow and create jobs over the coming decades. In this proposal we argue that entrepreneurship must play a central role in that effort. 'Entrepreneurship' tends to make people think of the US and its model of high growth and high-tech start-ups in Silicon Valley. We are keenly aware, however, that a European growth agenda requires a focus on European entrepreneurship. US recipes and models will not fit the European context and do not deliver the results Europe wants. Our project's objective is therefore to thoroughly analyse European institutional arrangements and their current (in)ability to mobilise Europe’s human, financial and knowledge resources for entrepreneurial activity. This will help us formulate an effective reform strategy to reinvigorate European economies. The current diversity of institutional arrangements in Europe has long and common historical roots that must first be recognised and understood. Based on common global trends in technology and competition, we then establish the urgency and desirability for making the transition to a more entrepreneurial economy throughout Europe.  Once this has been established, our project will develop and provide the tools for policy makers to assess the quality of national and regional entrepreneurial ecosystems and to identify the main strengths and weaknesses with regard to making the transition. Based on this assessment we will formulate specific proposals to enhance the allocation of talent, finance and knowledge to new value creation and we will conclude our project with a legal analysis to see where competencies currently lie and what action could be taken.
Harmonic resonance in a composite right-handed and left-handed transmission line periodically loaded with Schottky varactors

Harmonic resonance is characterized in a composite right-handed and left-handed CRLH transmission line periodically loaded with Schottky varactors, termed a Schottky CRLH line, to achieve efficient second harmonic generation. CRLH line dispersion can cause the second harmonic wave to have the same phase velocity as the fundamental. Application of such fundamental wave enables its second harmonic to develop spontaneously. Both the fundamental and second harmonic waves can gain amplitudes as their phases advance owing to left-handedness so that a second harmonic of significant amplitude can be obtained with the aid of cavity resonance. In this study, we discuss the design criteria for a Schottky CRLH line as a platform for second harmonic generation based on harmonic resonance. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Demonstration of energy efficiency and utilisation of renewable energy sources through public buildings

The central Europe is a highly urbanised area with a huge stock of existing public and private buildings with low energy efficiency. Great efforts are necessary to overcome the problem of energy consumption. To reach the goal of a nearly-zero energy demand buildings there is a great need for new techniques, methodologies and investments. The overall objective of the project CEC5 is the promotion of energy efficiency and exploitation of renewable energy sources through application in public buildings. At EU level, the Directive 2009/28/EC on Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and the Proposal on the Recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2002/91/EC) define the framework for related actions for the next years in the fields of RES and energy efficiency (EE). The project will directly address all these elements in a combined way.
INJECTION DEVICE PROVIDED WITH A DOSING UNIT PRODUCING A CLICK SOUND

The invention relates to an injection device for injecting respectively selectable amounts of fluid from an ampulla, preferably insulin. A manual actuation device comprises an axially displaceable operating head (8) which can be displaced exclusively in a (rear) rest position, a tubular-shaped drive element (11) which is rotationally fixed to the operating head, a guiding element (24) which is fixed in an axial and rotational manner and an output element (9, 19) which is displaceable in an axial direction and which is rotationally secured inside the device and is provided in order to drive the plunger (5) of the ampulla (4). A rotational grid (20) is provided between the rotational and non-rotational parts of the injection device and produces acoustic sounds, for example, click sounds, when the operating head is rotated, corresponding to an adjusted dose. According to the invention, the rotational grid is constructed in such a way that the operating head (8) is accidentally rotated too much in one direction of rotation, the extra large dose can be reduced by simply rotating the operating head in a reverse direction. Audible acoustic sounds can also be produced during re-rotation, enabling the patient to determine the adjusted dose by hearing.
No evidence for Hadean continental crust within Earth’s oldest evolved rock unit

Little is known about the character of the Hadean crust. Geochemical analyses of the 4-billion-year-old Acasta Gneiss from Canada suggest Earth’s earliest crust formed from a mafic reservoir, similar to the formation of oceanic crust today. Due to the acute scarcity of very ancient rocks, the composition of Earth’s embryonic crust during the Hadean eon (>4.0 billion years ago) is a critical unknown in our search to understand how the earliest continents evolved. Whether the Hadean Earth was dominated by mafic-composition crust, similar to today’s oceanic crust1,2,3,4, or included significant amounts of continental crust5,6,7,8 remains an unsolved question that carries major implications for the earliest atmosphere, the origin of life, and the geochemical evolution of the crust–mantle system. Here we present new U–Pb and Hf isotope data on zircons from the only precisely dated Hadean rock unit on Earth—a 4,019.6 ± 1.8 Myr tonalitic gneiss unit in the Acasta Gneiss Complex, Canada. Combined zircon and whole-rock geochemical data from this ancient unit shows no indication of derivation from, or interaction with, older Hadean continental crust. Instead, the data provide the first direct evidence that the oldest known evolved crust on Earth was generated from an older ultramafic or mafic reservoir that probably surfaced the early Earth.
Local and systemic signaling of iron status and its interactions with homeostasis of other essential elements

Iron (Fe) is essential for plant growth and development. However, alkaline soils, which occupy approximately 30% of the world's arable lands, are considered Fe-limiting for plant growth because insoluble Fe (III) chelates prevail under these conditions. In contrast, high bioavailability of Fe in acidic soils can be toxic to plants due to the ability of Fe ions to promote oxidative stress. Therefore, plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to sense and respond to the fluctuation of Fe availability in the immediate environment and to the needs of developing shoot tissues to preclude deficiency while avoiding toxicity. In this review, we focus on recent advances in our understanding of local and systemic signaling of Fe status with emphasis on the contribution of Fe, its interaction with other metals and metal ligands in triggering molecular responses that regulate Fe uptake and partitioning in the plant body.
Humanistic Model in Adult Education and Science and Technology: Challenges of the 21 st Century Developing Nation

That humankind overcomes the terrible threats of boredom, meaninglessness and dehumanizing state of contemporary world is the result of the scientific and technological advancement, this paper considers humanistic model in adult education as liberal education appropriate for adult age. Using the humanistic model, we discussed an adult education that is a deliberate and systematically planned educational activity targeted at and designed around the interest and self-expressed concern of, the adult for solving his immediate problems with educational activity that is part-time. We proposed an integrated education for an integrated humanism in this age of science and technology. An integrated humanism education liberates humans for self-awareness which is the sum of consciousness with intelligent active nature, free-will with the drive towards self-actualization, social dimension, self-maintenance and self-enhancement. This education sets humans apart from other animals and must bring to an end the cleavage between work or useful activity and the blossoming of spiritual life and disinterested joy in knowledge and beauty, which is to perceive the genuinely democratic character of education in an age of science and technology. The paper did recognize the challenges of the 21 st century developing nations in terms of infrastructures and educational management.
A human ips cell-derived artificial skeletal muscle for regenerative medicine, disease modelling and drug screening

Skeletal muscle is the most abundant human tissue and contains mainly post-mitotic nuclei. It also expresses the largest gene known in nature – dystrophin – whose mutations cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the most frequent and incurable childhood muscle disorder. These characteristics create hurdles that negatively impact on the development of therapies for muscle diseases, ranging from acute tissue loss to chronic neuromuscular disorders. Moreover, a lack of humanised models of muscle regeneration delays the understanding of its regenerative dynamics.

My work has pioneered the use of human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells to generate genetically corrected myogenic cells for the autologous cell therapy of muscular dystrophies. Here I propose to exploit this technology together with biocompatible materials to develop three dimensional, iPS cell-derived, patient-specific artificial muscles. These bioengineered skeletal muscles will provide a model to study human muscle regeneration and a platform for tissue engineering and therapy development for severe muscle diseases.

The project will be developed in two phases. First we will develop the iPS cell-derived muscle in vitro, introducing cell types and stimuli necessary to obtain a functional tissue. In the second phase we will exploit the muscle “organoids” for regenerative medicine and drug development. Specifically, we will investigate the artificial muscle potential for tissue replacement in vivo and then model different muscular dystrophies in vitro to screen drugs with therapeutic relevance. Finally, we will combine the tools and knowledge developed in the two aforementioned areas into a novel platform to optimise skeletal muscle gene and cell therapies. This project will bring together tissue engineering, drug development and cell therapy under the same translational technology, advancing the understanding of pathogenesis and the development of therapies for muscle diseases.
MULTIPLE REQUESTS FOR CONTENT DOWNLOAD IN A LIVE STREAMING P2P NETWORK

The present invention relates to a method of, and device for, arranging peers in a P2P network comprising a streaming source and network peers arranged at distribution levels in the P2P network. The method comprises receiving a request from a peer entering the network to receive data content and determining a distribution level in the P2P network at which the entering peer is to be arranged with respect to the streaming source. The method further comprises providing the entering peer with a plurality of peers selected from the network peers from which the requested data content can be downloaded with an expected probability depending on the determined distribution level, wherein the entering peer is enabled to download, with the expected probability, the requested data content from a selected one of said plurality of peers, and in case the requested data content cannot be downloaded from said selected peer, the entering peer is enabled to download the requested data content from another selected peer of the plurality of peers with another expected probability. The present invention further relates to a method of requesting data content in a P2P network and a peer device.
Chip-Scale self-referenced optical frequency comb sources

As a Nobel-honored technology, optical frequency combs, which consist of equidistant spectral lines, have revolutionized applications in time-keeping, and metrology as they offer unprecedented precision in frequency via self-referencing. However, conventional frequency comb systems have been confined to laboratories due to the cost, size, and power requirements of their components. This project aims to develop a chip-scale optical frequency comb source that can be self-referenced.

Key components to realize self-referencing are comb generators and frequency doublers. However, it is challenging to integrate both functionalities on the same chip as they typically rely on different nonlinear processes and thus different material platforms. Another major challenge in the system miniaturization is how to achieve ultra-efficient comb generation and frequency doubling to enable on-chip comb pumping and self-referencing beat note detection, respectively.

In this project, we will circumvent the multi-material issue by developing both comb generator and frequency doubler based on the same nonlinear material: aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs). This material exhibits both strong cubic and quadratic nonlinearities which can be utilized for comb generation and frequency doubling, respectively. Ultra-efficient comb generation will be realized by developing ultra-high-quality-factor microresonators and employing new comb generation methods combining cubic and quadratic nonlinearities while highly-efficient frequency doubling will be achieved by adaptively-controlling the phase-matching condition. We will also develop heterogeneous integration technologies to bridge the nonlinear devices with on-chip laser sources and detectors by using intermediate silicon nitride circuits. Successful miniaturization of a self-referenced frequency comb source will enable applications like LIDAR, coherent communications, chemical sensing, medical imaging, and precision metrology.
Emerging mitigation needs and sustainable options for solving the arsenic problems of rural and isolated urban areas in Latin America – A critical analysis

In this work, current information about the contamination of ground- and surface-water resources by arsenic from geogenic sources in Latin America is presented together with possible emerging mitigation solutions. The problem is of the same order of magnitude as other world regions, such as SE Asia, but it is often not described in English. Despite the studies undertaken by numerous local researchers, and the identification of proven treatment methods for the specific water conditions encountered, no technologies have been commercialized due to a current lack of funding and technical assistance. Emerging, low-cost technologies to mitigate the problem of arsenic in drinking water resources that are suitable for rural and urban areas lacking centralized water supplies have been evaluated. The technologies generally use simple and low-cost equipment that can easily be handled and maintained by the local population. Experiences comprise (i) coagulation/filtration with iron and aluminum salts, scaled-down for small community- and household-scale-applications, (ii) adsorption techniques using low-cost arsenic sorbents, such as geological materials (clays, laterites, soils, limestones), natural organic-based sorbents (natural biomass), and synthetic materials. TiO(2)-heterogeneous photocatalysis and zerovalent iron, especially using nanoscale particles, appear to be promising emergent technologies. Another promising innovative method for rural communities is the use of constructed wetlands using native perennial plants for arsenic rhizofiltration. Small-scale simple reverse osmosis equipment (which can be powered by wind or solar energy) that is suitable for small communities can also be utilized. The individual benefits of the different methods have been evaluated in terms of (i) size of the treatment device, (ii) arsenic concentration and distribution of species, chemical composition and grade of mineralization in the raw water, (iii) guidelines for the remaining As concentration, (iv) economical constrains, (v) complexity of installation and maintenance, and infrastructure constraints (e.g. electricity needs).
FUSE FAILURE DISPLAY

The invention relates to a circuit for displaying a fuse failure for a fuse (1) trip status monitoring system. A lighting diode (2) is provided in order to display the trip status of the fuse (1), said lighting diode being arranged in a current path parallel to the circuit (1). When the fuse (1) is not tripped, the parallel current path has such a high resistance compared to the resistance across the fuse (1) that the current across said current path is not sufficient to actuate the lighting diode (2), and when the fuse (1) is tripped, the parallel current path has such a low resistance compared to the resistance across the fuse (1) that the current across said current path is sufficient to actuate the lighting diode (2). Furthermore, a current-limiting device for limiting the current across the lighting diode (2) and a voltage-limiting device for limiting the voltage across the tripped fuse (1) are provided. It is essential to the invention that a field-effect transistor (3) and a resistor (4) are provided in series in order to achieve the high resistance of the parallel current path when the fuse (1) is not tripped, and the same resistor (4) is provided for arranging the current-limiting device in the parallel current path when the fuse (1) is tripped in order to form a control voltage for the field-effect transistor (3) in the parallel current path with the lighting diode (2), the blocked state of the field-effect transistor (3) depending on said control voltage. Thus, a universal and inexpensive circuit is provided for monitoring fuses, said circuit being suitable for direct current operations as well as for alternating current operations.
