Charged anisotropic compact objects by gravitational decoupling
In the present article, we have constructed a static charged anisotropic
compact star model of Einstein field equations for a spherically symmetric
space-time geometry. Specifically, we have extended the charged isotropic
Heintzmann solution to an anisotropic domain. To address this work, we have
employed the gravitational decoupling through the so called minimal geometric
deformation approach. The charged anisotropic model is representing the
realistic compact objects such as and . We
have reported our results in details for the compact star on the
ground of physical properties such as pressure, density, velocity of sound,
energy conditions, stability conditions, Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation
and redshift etc
Molecular Mechanisms Used by Salmonella to Evade the Immune System
Human and animal pathogens are able to circumvent, at least temporarily, the sophisticated immune defenses of their hosts. Several serovars of the Gram-negative bacterium Salmonella enterica have been used as models for the study of pathogen-host interactions. In this review we discuss the strategies used by Salmonella to evade or manipulate three levels of host immune defenses: physical barriers, innate immunity and adaptive immunity. During its passage through the digestive system, Salmonella has to face the acidic pH of the stomach, bile and antimicrobial peptides in the intestine, as well as the competition with resident microbiota. After host cell invasion, Salmonella manipulates inflammatory pathways and the autophagy process. Finally, Salmonella evades the adaptive immune system by interacting with dendritic cells, and T and B lymphocytes. Mechanisms allowing the establishment of persistent infections are also discussed.European Regional Development Fund SAF2013-46229-R, SAF2016-75365-
Enseñar en competencias en educación infantil y primaria. La agenda telefónica
Las leyes educativas van cambiando, adaptándose a las necesidades de las nuevas sociedades presentes en nuestro entorno. Lo mismo debe suceder con nuestra forma de enseñar, de utilizar los recursos y de presentar los conocimientos y experiencias. Con la finalidad de trabajar en la línea de las competencias básicas, se presenta esta actividad, realizada conjuntamente con el alumnado de infantil y primaria. Se trata con ella de dar un sentido a la enseñanza de la numeración en el primer contacto que se tiene en la escuela
Deep Neural Networks for the Recognition and Classification of Heart Murmurs Using Neuromorphic Auditory Sensors
Auscultation is one of the most used techniques for
detecting cardiovascular diseases, which is one of the main causes
of death in the world. Heart murmurs are the most common abnormal
finding when a patient visits the physician for auscultation.
These heart sounds can either be innocent, which are harmless, or
abnormal, which may be a sign of a more serious heart condition.
However, the accuracy rate of primary care physicians and expert
cardiologists when auscultating is not good enough to avoid most
of both type-I (healthy patients are sent for echocardiogram) and
type-II (pathological patients are sent home without medication or
treatment) errors made. In this paper, the authors present a novel
convolutional neural network based tool for classifying between
healthy people and pathological patients using a neuromorphic
auditory sensor for FPGA that is able to decompose the audio into
frequency bands in real time. For this purpose, different networks
have been trained with the heart murmur information contained in
heart sound recordings obtained from nine different heart sound
databases sourced from multiple research groups. These samples
are segmented and preprocessed using the neuromorphic auditory
sensor to decompose their audio information into frequency
bands and, after that, sonogram images with the same size are
generated. These images have been used to train and test different
convolutional neural network architectures. The best results
have been obtained with a modified version of the AlexNet model,
achieving 97% accuracy (specificity: 95.12%, sensitivity: 93.20%,
PhysioNet/CinC Challenge 2016 score: 0.9416). This tool could aid
cardiologists and primary care physicians in the auscultation process,
improving the decision making task and reducing type-I and
type-II errors.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad TEC2016-77785-
