Previous studies have highlighted the importance of an appropriate human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) evaluation for proper identification patients eligible treatment with anti-HER2 targeted therapies. Today, relationship remains unclear between level HER2 amplification and outcome HER2-positive gastric cancer treated first-line chemotherapy trastuzumab. The aim this study was to determine whether gene determined by HER2/CEP17 ratio copy number could significantly predict some...
This article examines whether and how energy retrofitting of owner-occupied dwellings can be understood within the framework social practice theories. Practice theories help to shift focus towards more collective approaches practices, rather than individuals. In addressing this question, retrofits are described their variability compared in four European areas: Denmark, Latvia, Coimbra area Portugal Wallonia Belgium. Although these areas have different geographical, cultural housing...
Purpose The purpose of this study was to design a renovation plan for university campus building (Department Electrical and Computer Engineering) with the aim achieve nearly zero energy performance, ensuring low specific demand (lower than 44 kWh/m 2 ) high level on-site renewable generation (equivalent more 20 per cent demand). Design/methodology/approach baseline characterized based on audits, smart metering data existing management system data, showing recent reduction electricity owing...
Many University campuses have been decreasing the environmental impacts and costs associated with electricity consumption through implementation of energy efficiency programs, as well installation renewable generation. As a next step, such buildings must be equipped technologies able to provide flexibility required increase matching between generation demand in order enable large-scale integration With objective, this paper presents microgrid constituted by photovoltaic generation,...
Energy poverty (EP) is a crucial socio-economic problem in current society, as it deprives people of basic standard living and quality life. In general, EP linked to various factors, but primarily associated with high energy costs, low household income, inefficient building structures. Due the recent crisis Europe, importance these factors has escalated. Bearing mind above remarks, REVERTER EU-funded LIFE project will develop test nine roadmaps four European countries (Brezovo—Bulgaria;...
There are conflicting reports regarding the relative frequency of benign and malignant epithelial salivary gland tumors in children. only a few cytogenetic abnormalities pleomorphic adenomas (PA) that arise children, even less information adenoma gene 1 (PLAG1) high motility group A2 (HMGA2) histochemical staining PAs, or their correlation with histologic types (stromal vs predominance). A retrospective 14 year review encountered at children's hospital identified 13 tumors: 12 PAs acinic...
This paper presents the main results of a survey conducted in Portugal to evaluate costs associated with Power Quality disturbances Industry (more specifically four typical and most common voltage interruptions). The was different companies from industrial sectors. Although Costs estimation issue survey, several other issues were analyzed order important matters such as customer satisfaction. From analysis collected data, vast majority are satisfied Service provided by utility, but they...
Bacteremia is associated with increased risk of complications in patients febrile neutropenia (FN), although few clinical studies have reported outcomes apparently stable (ASPs) who could be candidates for home treatment.To assess the factors and impact bacteremia ASPs.We retrospectively analyzed 861 consecutive episodes FN that were classifed according to their presentation into 2 categories: clearly unstable ASPs. We estimated incidence severe predictors discriminatory ability MASCC score...

This article deals with the economical analysis of fuel cell (FC) installations used for cogeneration stationary applications under different local conditions and variable external economic situations. The investigation includes sensitivity that allows evaluating FC payback period (PBP) change as a function natural gas price capital cost. impact electricity tariff system performance FCs, including stack recovery factor is addressed. Two modes operation: continuous power generation peak...
