Iamara Silva Policarpo Brito, Anna Karolina Martins Borges, Sérgio Faria Lopes, Thelma Lúcia Pereira Dias, more

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine > 2019 > 15 > 1 > 1-10

Background Animals from various taxonomic groups are commonly used in folk medicine, and their selection seems to be directly linked to their availability and accessibility. In the present study, we analyzed the use of animals as a source of folk medicines in a community in northeastern Brazil with access to aquatic and terrestrial animals. We hypothesize that the medicinal fauna is well represented...

Long-term Outcomes of Induction Carboplatin and Gemcitabine Followed by Concurrent Radiotherapy With Low-dose Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine for Stage III Non–small-cell Lung Cancer

Catherine Guilbault, Aurelie Garant, Sergio Faria, Scott Owen, more

Clinical Lung Cancer > 2017 > 18 > 5 > 565-571

Standard treatment for unresectable stage III non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is concurrent chemo-radiation (CRT). A regimen of induction carboplatin and gemcitabine followed by CRT was developed at the McGill University Health Centre to prevent delays in treatment initiation. We report the long-term outcomes with this regimen based on a pooled analysis of both protocol patients from a phase II...

Pedro Cordeiro, Gabriel Falcao, Patricio Domingues, Nuno Rodrigues, more

2017 25th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Network-based Processing (PDP) > 237 - 240

2017 25th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Network-based Processing (PDP)

Least squares prediction is a technique used to foresee pixel values during image coding by finding the minimum square error of neighbouring pixels. It has shown considerable quality gains especially for complex images with high variations in pixel intensities. The drawback of this technique consists of high computational complexity, consuming the most significant part of processing time and resources...

Radiotherapy and Oncology > 2016 > 121 > 2 > 294-298

Evaluate changes in bowel, urinary and sexual patient-reported quality of life following treatment with moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy (<5Gray/fraction) or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT;5–10Gray/fraction) for prostate cancer.In a pooled multi-institutional analysis of men treated with moderate hypofractionation or SBRT, we compared minimally detectable difference in bowel,...

Development of a Didactic Model of the Hydrologic Cycle Using the TerraME Graphical Interface for Modeling and Simulation

Tiago Lima, Sergio Faria, Tiago Carneiro

Lecture Notes in Computer Science > Computational Science and Its Applications - ICCSA 2011 > Workshop on Computer Aided Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (CAMSA 2011) > 75-90

Many modeling and simulation platforms provide general programming languages as interfaces for model construction. Some offers high-level modeling languages with conceptual basis and services to represent data structures and rules that will determine the model behavior. However, the direct use of a computational language is still a limiting factor to the broad usage of these platforms. Modelers often...

Light field HEVC-based image coding using locally linear embedding and self-similarity compensated prediction

Ricardo Monteiro, Luis Lucas, Caroline Conti, Paulo Nunes, more

2016 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo Workshops (ICMEW) > 1 - 4

2016 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo Workshops (ICMEW)

Light field imaging is a promising new technology that allows the user not only to change the focus and perspective after taking a picture, as well as to generate 3D content, among other applications. However, light field images are characterized by large amounts of data and there is a lack of coding tools to efficiently encode this type of content. Therefore, this paper proposes the addition of two...

Plant functional groups of species in semiarid ecosystems in Brazil: wood basic density and SLA as an ecological indicator

Álvaro Manassés Lima Silva, Sérgio Faria Lopes, Leonardo Alves Porto Vitorio, Rayane Reinaldo Santiago, more

Brazilian Journal of Botany > 2014 > 37 > 3 > 229-237

Deciduousness in arid and semiarid environments is an important adaptive strategy in tree and shrub species to prevent extensive leaf desiccation and nutrient loss during the drought. The loss of leaves benefits some species, since the seasonality of water resources and high temperatures restrict the survival of plants in xeric environments. The aim of this study was to characterize functional groups...
