This paper reports experimental results on self-organizing wireless networks carried by small flying robots. Flying ad hoc (FANETs) composed of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are flexible, inexpensive and fast to deploy. makes them a very attractive technology for many civilian military applications. Due the high mobility nodes, maintaining communication link between UAVs is challenging task. The topology these more dynamic than that typical mobile (MANETs) vehicle (VANETs). As consequence,...
In this paper we examine mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) composed by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Due to the high-mobility of nodes, these are very dynamic and existing routing protocols partly fail provide a reliable communication. We present Predictive-OLSR an extension Optimized Link-State Routing (OLSR) protocol: it enables efficient in conditions. The key idea is exploit GPS information aid protocol. weights expected transmission count (ETX) metric, taking into account relative speed...
Several miRNAs have been reported to be associated with immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) mutation and ZAP-70 expression status in blood samples of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphoma (B-CLL/SLL). In the bone marrow lymphoid tissues, proliferation centres (PCs) represent an important site activation neoplastic cells, suggesting that these tissues better reflect biology CLL than circulating cells. We collected 33 lymph nodes 37 analysed IgH status. Expression 15 was by qRT-PCR...
The present study demonstrated that the vessel number in bone marrow biopsies from acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients ( n = 23) was significantly increased at diagnosis compared with normal P 0·019) and restored to levels after achieving complete remission 0·03). vitro angiogenic potential of culture supernatant AML cells assessed using endothelial cell (EC) migration proliferation assays. Increased EC induced 7/20 19/20 supernatents respectively. degree vivo neovascularization did not...
Nodal tumor-forming accumulations of plasmacytoid monocytes/interferon-producing cells (PMs/IPCs) have been described in patients with myeloproliferative disorders. Here we report a series 9 additional cases such association. The were predominantly adult (median, 62 years), males (male/female ratio, 7:2), who presented chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (4 cases), acute myeloid (1), monocytic (2), unclassifiable or myeloproliferative/myelodysplastic disease (1). prognosis was poor (median...
In this retrospective pilot study, the expression of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) in locally recurrent prostate cancer after brachytherapy or external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) was investigated, their adequacy for targeted imaging analyzed. Prostate specimens were collected 17 patients who underwent salvage prostatectomy because EBRT....
One of the key factors for successful deployment mobile satellite systems in 4G networks is maximization technology commonalities with terrestrial systems. An effective way achieving this objective consists considering radio interface as baseline interface. Since 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard will be one main players scenario, along other emerging technologies, such WiMAX; paper analyzes possible applicability LTE to transmission, presenting several enabling techniques adaptation....
In this paper, OFDM data-aided channel estimation based on the decimation of Channel Impulse Response (CIR) through selection Most Significant Samples (MSS) is addressed. Our aim to approach Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) performance, while avoiding need for a-priori knowledge statistics (KCS). The optimal set samples defined in instantaneous and average senses. We derive lower bounds mean-square error (MSE) performance any MSS strategy. show how MSS-based can these MSE bounds. introduce...
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) bone marrow biopsies at diagnosis display enhanced angiogenesis and increased VEGFA expression. In a xenograft mouse model it was described that availability of free versus bound is related to different vascular morphology. this study we investigate the relationship between morphology within AML derived levels.Vessel count surface area (Chalkley count) were calculated in (n = 32), remission 8) Normal Bone Marrow 32) using immunohistochemical staining for FVIII,...
The ATLAS Level-1 Muon Barrel Trigger is one of the main elements first stage event selection experiment at Large Hadron Collider. challenge system a reduction rate from collision 40 MHz by factor 103, using simple algorithms that can be executed in highly parallel custom electronics with latency order 1 μs. input consists an array processors receiving full granularity data dedicated detector (Resistive Plate Chambers Barrel). This algorithm performed directly on-detector, while final boards...
The peptide bombesin (BBN) and its derivatives exhibit high binding affinity for the gastrin-releasing receptor (GRPR), which is highly expressed in prostate cancer. We used BBN-based radiopharmaceutical 99mTechnetium-HYNIC(tricine/TPPTS)-Aca-Bombesin(7-14) (99mTc-HABBN) to perform a first-in-man clinical pilot study evaluate feasibility of 99mTc-HABBN SPECT/CT detection cancer patients. Eight patients with biopsy-proven who were scheduled either radical prostatectomy or external beam...
We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT for detection posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) in a pediatric population and explore its feasibility during response assessment. <b>Methods:</b> This retrospective study included 28 transplant recipients who underwent total 32 scans due clinical suspicion PTLD within an 8-y period. Pathology reports 2 y follow-up were used as reference standard. Twenty-one assessment reevaluated according...
In this paper, we address the problem of OFDM data-aided channel estimation based on selection most significant samples (MSS) impulse response (CIR), i.e. those which contain useful energy. We provide a novel and complete analytical characterization for MSS threshold crossing, yields closed form estimate mean-square error (MSE), that use to derive analytically optimum in minimum MSE sense. The value is matched specific power profile, but information hardly available receiver. For these...
Twenty cases of macroscopically non‐neoplastic thymuses obtained from patients with myasthenia gravis have been studied histologically. Seven were characterized by lymphoid follicular hyperplasia and 13 involutional changes variable degree. In three (15%), one two changes, multiple microscopic epithelial lesions, 0.2–0.4 mm in diameter consistent foci thymoma, observed. Most them related to the thymic cortex one, displaying a different histological pattern, was located medullary area. These...
Muon identification (MUID) and high-momentum measurement accuracy is crucial to fully exploit the physics potential that will be accessible with ATLAS experiment at LHC. The muon energy of interest ranges in a large interval from few GeV, where b-physics studies dominate program, up highest values could indicate presence new physics. detection system detector characterized by two high-precision tracking systems, namely inner (ID) spectrometer, (MS) plus thick calorimeter ensures safe hadron...
In this retrospective pilot study, the feasibility of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) as an imaging target for lymph node (LN) metastatic disease urothelial carcinoma (UCC) bladder was investigated. LN metastases and LNs without patients who underwent pelvic dissection because muscle invasive cancer (MIBC) were used. Primary tumors same used from cystectomy specimen, transurethral resections, biopsies. A pathologist, blinded to clinical data, scored EpCAM immunoreactivity. This...
We address the problem of localizing non-collaborative WiFi devices in a large region. Our main motive is to localize humans by their devices, e.g. during search-and-rescue operations after natural disaster. use an active sensing approach that relies on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) collect signal-strength measurements at informative locations. The challenging since measurement received arbitrary times and they are only when UAV close proximity device. For these reasons, it extremely...
The ATLAS High Level Trigger's (HLT) primary function of event selection will be accomplished with a Level-2 trigger farm and an filter (EF) farm, both running software components developed in the offline reconstruction framework. While this approach provides unified framework for selection, it poses strict requirements on critical trigger. A decision must typically within 10 ms multiple processing concurrent threads. To address these constraints, prototypes have been that incorporate...
