    Photodynamic Therapy

    Get PDF
    This book is dedicated to a topic related to the effects of photodynamic therapy organized by Biomedicines in 2022 (https://www.mdpi.com/topics/photodynamic_therapy). In medicine, the use of photodynamic therapy for the treatment of oncological and non-oncological diseases has been widely documented and well codified. In dermatology, the use varies from oncological to the treatment of chronic wounds, as well as in cosmetology for photo-rejuvenation. The 19 manuscripts published in this book cover all aspects of this therapy, including the discovery of new natural and synthetic photosensitizers, biomaterials and nanotechnology, in vitro and in vivo studies, and clinical trials

    Diffusion sampling schemes: A generalized methodology with nongeometric criteria

    Producción CientíficaPurpose:The aim of this paper is to show that geometrical criteria for designingmultishellq-space sampling procedures do not necessarily translate into recon-struction matrices with high figures of merit commonly used in the compressedsensing theory. In addition, we show that a well-known method for visitingk-space in radial three-dimensional acquisitions, namely, the Spiral Phyllotaxis,is a competitive initialization for the optimization of our nonconvex objectivefunction.Theory and Methods:We propose the gradient design method WISH (WeIght-ing SHells) which uses an objective function that accounts for weighted dis-tances between gradients withinM-tuples of consecutive shells, withMrangingbetween 1 and the maximum number of shellsS. All theM-tuples share thesame weight�M. The objective function is optimized for a sample of theseweights, using Spiral Phyllotaxis as initialization. State-of-the-art General Elec-trostatic Energy Minimization (GEEM) and Spherical Codes (SC) were used forcomparison. For the three methods, reconstruction matrices of the attenuationsignal using MAP-MRI were tested using figures of merit borrowed from theCompressed Sensing theory (namely, Restricted Isometry Property —RIP— andCoherence); we also tested the gradient design using a geometric criterion basedon Voronoi cells.Results:For RIP and Coherence, WISH got better results in at least one com-bination of weights, whilst the criterion based on Voronoi cells showed anunrelated pattern.Conclusion:The versatility provided by WISH is supported by better results.Optimization in the weight parameter space is likely to provide additionalimprovements. For a practical design with an intermediate number of gradients,our results recommend to carry out the methodology here used to determine theappropriate gradient table.Agencia Estatal de Investigación,(under Grants RTI2018-094569-B-I00,PID2020-115339RB-I00 and TED2021-130090B-I00)ESAOTE, Ltd (Grant/Award Number: 18IQBM

    2022 Review of Data-Driven Plasma Science

    Get PDF
    Data-driven science and technology offer transformative tools and methods to science. This review article highlights the latest development and progress in the interdisciplinary field of data-driven plasma science (DDPS), i.e., plasma science whose progress is driven strongly by data and data analyses. Plasma is considered to be the most ubiquitous form of observable matter in the universe. Data associated with plasmas can, therefore, cover extremely large spatial and temporal scales, and often provide essential information for other scientific disciplines. Thanks to the latest technological developments, plasma experiments, observations, and computation now produce a large amount of data that can no longer be analyzed or interpreted manually. This trend now necessitates a highly sophisticated use of high-performance computers for data analyses, making artificial intelligence and machine learning vital components of DDPS. This article contains seven primary sections, in addition to the introduction and summary. Following an overview of fundamental data-driven science, five other sections cover widely studied topics of plasma science and technologies, i.e., basic plasma physics and laboratory experiments, magnetic confinement fusion, inertial confinement fusion and high-energy-density physics, space and astronomical plasmas, and plasma technologies for industrial and other applications. The final section before the summary discusses plasma-related databases that could significantly contribute to DDPS. Each primary section starts with a brief introduction to the topic, discusses the state-of-the-art developments in the use of data and/or data-scientific approaches, and presents the summary and outlook. Despite the recent impressive signs of progress, the DDPS is still in its infancy. This article attempts to offer a broad perspective on the development of this field and identify where further innovations are required

    In order to warrant a good present and future for people around the planet and to safe the care of the planet itself, research in architecture has to release all its potential. Therefore, the aims of the 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture are: - To focus on the most relevant needs of humanity and the planet and what architectural research can do for solving them. - To assess the evolution of architectural research in traditionally matters of interest and the current state of these popular and widespread topics. - To deepen in the current state and findings of architectural research on subjects akin to post-capitalism and frequently related to equal opportunities and the universal right to personal development and happiness. - To showcase all kinds of research related to the new and holistic concept of sustainability and to climate emergency. - To place in the spotlight those ongoing works or available proposals developed by architectural researchers in order to combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. - To underline the capacity of architectural research to develop resiliency and abilities to adapt itself to changing priorities. - To highlight architecture's multidisciplinarity as a melting pot of multiple approaches, points of view and expertise. - To open new perspectives for architectural research by promoting the development of multidisciplinary and inter-university networks and research groups. For all that, the 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture is open not only to architects, but also for any academic, practitioner, professional or student with a determination to develop research in architecture or neighboring fields.Cabrera Fausto, I.
