Noninvasive methods for children\u27s cholesterol level determination

Today, there is a controversy about the role of cholesterol in infants and the measurement and management of blood cholesterol in children. Several scientific evidences are supporting relationship between elevated blood cholesterol in children and high cholesterol in adults and development of adult arteriosclerotic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Therefore controlling the level of blood cholesterol in children is very important for the health of the whole population. Non-invasive methods are much more convenient for the children because of their anxieties about blood examinations. In this paper we will present a new try to find non-invasive methods for determining the level of blood cholesterol in children with the use of intelligent system

Investigación sobre las posibilidades del espacio público, el mobiliario urbano y las nuevas tecnologías en la ciudad inteligente. Caso práctico: Birloki System.

441 p.La investigación de esta tesis se centra sobre las posibilidades de creación de un método o corpus disciplinar que nos permita avanzar en el desarrollo de nuevos sistemas ¿bottom-up¿ de participación e interacción de los ciudadanos con la ciudad. En un momento de cambio en el que las Nuevas Tecnologías están apareciendo de forma ubicua en la sociedad, este trabajo hace un recorrido teórico sobre ejemplos, historia y posibilidades para luego centrar todo el proceso en la investigación práctica propia de Juan Sádaba sobre la patente creada por él mismo, Birloki System y todo el trabajo de diseño de producto y resultados consecuencia de esta aventura exploratoria
