O soldado português nos cancioneiros lírico e narrativo (2013)

Nos cancioneiros da guerra colonial portuguesa, o soldado e o povo dizem as suas vivências de dor, angústia e perplexidade, matizadas, por vezes, de um patriotismo que é, acima de tudo, abnegação e resignação, mas também, nalguns momentos, contestação irónica e vontade de mudança. Para estes, a poesia era mais do que ideologia. Num mundo em ruínas, era uma das raras liberdades individuais e coletivas, um dos raros lugares de alguma pacificação e salvação. O Estado Novo, pelo contrário, exalta e promove a capacidade de sofrimento físico e espiritual do soldado português e do povo. A cosmovisão oficial tem de contaminar a experiência pessoal. Daí os discursos e as composições que cantam o heroísmo, o sacrifício e a morte em combate.

A systematic study on impact of fin width scaling and recess depth in these transistors was conducted. A new SA scaled n-channel p-GaN-gate FET (n-FET) process, compatible with the p-FinFET, demonstrated enhancement-mode (E-mode) n-FETs ( <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${L}_{G} = {200}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> nm, <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${I}_{D,\text {max}} = {525}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mA/mm, and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${R}_{ \mathrm{ ON}}={2}.{9}\,\,\Omega \cdot $ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm) on the same epitaxial platform. The p-FETs and n-FETs feature competitive performance in their respective categories and, when taken together, offer a leading solution for GaN CT on a silicon substrate.
NBWGuard (2018)

Kubernetes is a very popular and fast-growing container orchestration platform that automates the process of deploying and managing multi-container applications at scale. Users can specify required and maximum values of resources they need for their containers and Kubernetes realizes them by interfacing with lower levels (container runtime which in turn can use OS capabilities) of the stack for enforcing them. Kubernetes supports differentiated QoS classes - Guaranteed, Burstable, and Best-effort - in order of decreasing priority based on the resource size specifications for CPU and memory capacity. This allows many applications to obtain a desired level of QoS (performance isolation and throughput) when CPU or memory capacity management can provide them. However, when workloads may be critically dependent for their performance on another resource, namely network bandwidth, Kubernetes has no means to meet their QoS needs. Networking between pods in Kubernetes is supported with plug-ins and the network resource is not managed directly.
Leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion in spontaneously hypertensive and normotensive rats. (1993)

Although the etiology of hypertension-related organ damage remains poorly understood, it has recently been proposed that activated and adherent leukocytes may contribute to the pathogenesis of progressive organ injury in hypertension. The objective of this study was to determine whether the adherence and emigration of leukocytes in microvessels differ between spontaneously hypertensive and normotensive rats. Leukocyte adherence, rolling, and emigration as well as vessel diameter and erythrocyte velocity were monitored in mesenteric venules of age-matched normotensive and hypertensive rats. Measurements were obtained under baseline conditions and during superfusion of the mesentery with either platelet activating factor, leukotriene B4, or NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis. Tissue-associated myeloperoxidase activity, an index of the total tissue granulocyte population, was measured in various tissues of normotensive and hypertensive rats. Systemic arterial pressure and the circulating polymorphonuclear leukocyte count were elevated in hypertensive relative to normotensive rats. The number of adherent and emigrated leukocytes under baseline conditions did not differ between normotensive and hypertensive rats. Although the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor caused a similar rise in leukocyte adherence and emigration in both rat strains, the adhesive interactions elicited by either platelet activating factor or leukotriene B4 were significantly blunted in hypertensive relative to normotensive rats. Flow cytometric analysis of whole-blood samples revealed a lower surface expression of CD11b/CD18 on leukocytes from hypertensive rats under stimulated conditions. Myeloperoxidase activity in mesentery and small and large intestine was low, whereas lung, spleen, and stomach values were high in hypertensive compared with normotensive rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

IL-10 Transgenic Mice Present a Defect in T Cell Development Reminiscent to SCID Patients (1999)

Abstract To analyze the effect of IL-10 overexpressed by APCs as observed in some SCID patients, we have expressed the human IL-10 cDNA under the control of the murine MHC class II promoter in transgenic mice. Similar to SCID patients, these mice presented a defect in T cell maturation characterized by a rapid thymic aplasia that started after birth. The blockage in T cell maturation was strictly restricted to TCR-αβ T cells as the absolute number of thymic dendritic, TCR-γδ and NK1.1 T cells were equivalent to control littermates. Crossing IL-10 transgenic mice with TCR transgenic mice or treatment with staphylococcal enterotoxin B showed that the defect was not related to the impairment of positive or negative selection. However, repopulating of IL-10 transgenic mouse-fetal thymic organ culture with different stages of triple negative T cells isolated from control mice showed that the blockage occurred specifically at the pre-T cell stage and was reverted by treatment with blocking anti-IL-10 mAbs. These results demonstrate that IL-10 regulates T cell maturation and that dysregulation of IL-10 expression can lead to severe T cell immunodeficiency.
MODE OF ACTION OF α‐TERTHIENYL ON ESCHERICHIA COLI: EVIDENCE FOR A PHOTODYNAMIC EFFECT ON MEMBRANES (1982)

Abstract The photodynamic effects of α‐terthienyl (αT) in near‐UV light (UV‐A) on Escherichia coli showed close agreement with the light absorption of αT at different wavelengths suggesting that αT is the primary absorbing molecule responsible for the photosensitized reaction. Studies with DNA repair deficient mutants of E. coli indicated that the bactericidal action of αT/UV‐A was not mediated by DNA damage, in direct contrast to the well‐known photosensitizer, 8‐methoxypsoralen. By using a closed borosilicate glass reaction vessel and various gas mixtures, it was demonstrated that photosensitization of both E. coli and a more resistant bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa , was absolutely dependent on the presence of oxygen. The rate of killing by αT/UV‐A showed a rather small dependence on preincubation temperatures, with quite rapid killing at 5°C, suggesting that the movement of αT across the cytoplasmic membrane of E. coli is not the rate limiting step in killing and perhaps is not even necessary for killing. Sodium dodecyl sulphate‐polyacrylamide gels of cell membrane proteins after 15 and 30min of treatment with αT/UV‐A showed substantial random crosslinking of these proteins. The results taken overall suggest that αT is a photodynamic photosensitizer which exerts its primary effect at the level of the cytoplasmic membrane.

Low-loss asymmetric strip-loaded slot waveguides in silicon-on-insulator (2011)

We report on low-loss asymmetric strip-loaded slot waveguides in silicon-on-insulator fabricated with 248 nm photolithography. Waveguide losses were 2 dB/cm or less at wavelengths near 1550 nm. A 40 nm strip-loading allows low-resistance electrical contact to be made to the two slot arms. The asymmetric design suppresses the TE1 mode while increasing the wavelength range for which the TE0 mode guides. This type of waveguide is suitable for building low insertion-loss, high-bandwidth, low drive-voltage modulators, when coated with an electro-optic polymer cladding.
Colon Cancer Survival With Herbal Medicine and Vitamins Combined With Standard Therapy in a Whole-Systems Approach (2011)

Although localized colon cancer is often successfully treated with surgery, advanced disease requires aggressive systemic therapy that has lower effectiveness. Approximately 30% to 75% of patients with colon cancer use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), but there is limited formal evidence of survival efficacy. In a consecutive case series with 10-year follow-up of all colon cancer patients (n = 193) presenting at a San Francisco Bay-Area center for Chinese medicine (Pine Street Clinic, San Anselmo, CA), the authors compared survival in patients choosing short-term treatment lasting the duration of chemotherapy/radiotherapy with those continuing long-term. To put these data into the context of treatment responses seen in conventional medical practice, they also compared survival with Pan-Asian medicine + vitamins (PAM+V) with that of concurrent external controls from Kaiser Permanente Northern California and California Cancer Registries. Kaplan-Meier, traditional Cox regression, and more modern methods were used for causal inference-namely, propensity score and marginal structural models (MSMs), which have not been used before in studies of cancer survival and Chinese herbal medicine. PAM+V combined with conventional therapy, compared with conventional therapy alone, reduced the risk of death in stage I by 95%, stage II by 64%, stage III by 29%, and stage IV by 75%. There was no significant difference between short-term and long-term PAM+V. Combining PAM+V with conventional therapy improved survival, compared with conventional therapy alone, suggesting that prospective trials combining PAM+V with conventional therapy are justified.
On virtual network functions' placement in future distributed edge cloud (2017)

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is changing the way networks are managed by providing more scalability and flexibility. However, to meet stringent real-time constraints, some network functions have to be hosted close to end users, which incites Network Operators (NOs) to install well dimensioned data centers at the edge of the network. In this framework, the contributions of this paper are twofold. First, we proposed an analytical model for the blocking analysis in a multidimensional cloud system, which was validated using discrete events' simulations. Second, we conducted a comparative analysis of the most popular placement's strategies. The proposed model, as well as the comparative study, reveal practical insights into the performance evaluation of resource allocation and capacity planning for distributed edge cloud with limited capacities.
Mapping complex tissue architecture with diffusion spectrum magnetic resonance imaging (2005)

Methods are presented to map complex fiber architectures in tissues by imaging the 3D spectra of tissue water diffusion with MR. First, theoretical considerations show why and under what conditions diffusion contrast is positive. Using this result, spin displacement spectra that are conventionally phase-encoded can be accurately reconstructed by a Fourier transform of the measured signal's modulus. Second, studies of in vitro and in vivo samples demonstrate correspondence between the orientational maxima of the diffusion spectrum and those of the fiber orientation density at each location. In specimens with complex muscular tissue, such as the tongue, diffusion spectrum images show characteristic local heterogeneities of fiber architectures, including angular dispersion and intersection. Cerebral diffusion spectra acquired in normal human subjects resolve known white matter tracts and tract intersections. Finally, the relation between the presented model-free imaging technique and other available diffusion MRI schemes is discussed.
Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 Inhibitors (2021)

Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a growing worldwide epidemic. While a number of oral agents have been available to treat T2DM, they suffer from safety and tolerability issues and lack durability. In the 1990s, glucagon‐like peptide 1 (GLP‐1) emerged as a new approach to glucose lowering. Endogenous GLP‐1 is rapidly inactivated through the action of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP‐4), a serine dipeptidyl aminopeptidase that cleaves its N‐terminal two amino acids. Blocking DPP‐4 with a small molecule inhibitor was shown to increase circulating levels of GLP‐1 in rodent models and humans, leading to improved glucose control. Early DPP‐4 inhibitors were dipeptide mimetics, some of which bound to the DPP‐4 active site serine in a covalent manner. Screening and structure‐based drug design led to the identification of many other structural classes. In 2006, sitagliptin became the first DPP‐4 inhibitor approved by the FDA. Inhibitors now available include two for once‐weekly administration. Over 10 years of clinical experience has shown DPP‐4 inhibition to be safe and effective with a low risk of hypoglycemia, no weight gain, and no increased cardiovascular risk. Used as monotherapy or in combination with other glucose‐lowering medications, DPP‐4 inhibitors have become an important class of oral agents to treat T2DM.
High-resolution high-speed CT/radiography system for NDT of adhesive bonded composites (2002)

Adhesive bonded composites used in naval, aerospace, and automotive technologies require routine nondestructive testing (NDT) to detect flaws and other integrity-reducing anomalies such as porosity, kissing disbonds, and delaminations. We have developed an x-ray radiography/CT system with fast scanning times based on high resolution, high efficiency scintillators coupled to a 1024 x 1024 pixel CCD via a fiberoptic taper. Typical CT systems for NDT use a fan beam x-ray source and a linear array of detectors, with scan times on the order of 10 hours depending on the desired resolution. The prototype CCD-based volumetric imaging system described here is capable of reducing this scan time to less than 1 hour while significantly improving resolution. Additionally, the system is capable of both CT and standard radiographic imaging. We have integrated two different scintillators in the prototype system. One is a structured CsI(Tl) screen, and the other is a new, pixelated, transparent optical ceramic (TOC) scintillator. This unique TOC has a density of 9.5 g/cm<SUP>3</SUP> and a peak emission of 610 nm, particularly suitable for Si readouts. We present here the system design and preliminary results of radiographic imaging and volumetric CT reconstruction.
Design schemes for scalable multi-view video coding using GPB (2015)

In this paper, we propose novel design schemes for the operation of Decoded Picture Buffer (DPB) including reference picture re-ordering, marking process, and reference picture list construction to perform an efficient scalable multi-view video coding. Extensive simulations show that the proposed method can provide advanced compression efficiency and improved video quality measured in terms of BD-Rate and BD-PSNR for the scalable multi-view video coding.
Watermarking graph partitioning solutions (2002)

The authors introduce an Intellectual Property Protection (IPP) technique for graph partitioning which watermarks solutions to the graph partitioning problems so that they carry an author's signature. This technique is completely transparent to the actual computer-aided design tool which does the partitioning and is implemented by preprocessing and postprocessing alone. The authors propose five different schemes for the watermarking of partitioning solutions. The goal is to construct a partitioning solution which not only has a small edge cut, but also encodes the signature of the author. The key idea of all of our schemes is to map the signature into a set of constraints and then satisfy a disproportionate number of these constraints. Four of our schemes are based upon the idea of encouraging groups of vertices to be in the same partition. The fifth is based upon the encouragement of certain edges to be cut by the partitioning. The fifth scheme shows superior performances on all of the cases which we tested, including both two-way and multiway partitioning. The watermarking scheme produces solutions that have very low-quality degradation levels, yet carry signatures that are convincingly unambiguous, extremely unlikely to be present by coincidence and difficult to detect or remove without completely resolving the partitioning problem.

<title>Photonic true time delay module for high-frequency broadband phased array antenna</title> (2001)

A 2D true-time delay (TTD) module for phased-array antennas (PAAs) is presented, which is based on substrate-guided wave elements. We use substrates of different thickness to get time delays as small as needed. We also use coated wedge to substitute input hologram element to decrease losses up to 60%. Also, a step is designed to obtain 0 degree steering which is impossible for packaging in the previous design. We designed special delay steps to avoid the side lobe caused by the limitation of the distance between adjacent antenna elements. The simulation results were given for the far- field radiation pattern of PAA controlled by this module. Experimental results of the TTD module are shown in both 2D and 3D images.
