Making Distributed User Interfaces Interruption-Resistant : A Model-Based Approach

International audienceDistributed User Interfaces (DUIs) have gone beyond the fact that traditional user interfaces run on the same computing platform in the same environment. This new interaction paradigm affects the way these novel systems are designed and developed. New features need to be taken into account from the very beginning of the development process and new models and tools need to be considered for the correct development of interactive systems based on DUIs. The starting point of this paper is that DUI-based systems are susceptible of being interrupted in several ways as they are dependent on connectivity. In this proposal this issue is assessed from a conceptual point of view, asking the question of what new features should be considered and how should they be included within the development process? The model-based approach presented provides developers with means to make DUIs resilient or resistant to interruptions

Use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs in dental practice : a review

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are drugs commonly prescribed in dental practice for the management of pain and swelling. Of these substances, paracetamol and ibuprofen are the most widely used. Their mechanism of action is based on the inhibition of cyclooxygenase, and therefore of prostaglandin synthesis. All of these drugs present a similar mechanism of action, as a result of which their side effects are also similar. The most frequent range from mild (e.g., nausea or vomiting) to serious gastric problems (such as gastric bleeding or perforation). Other side effects include an increased risk of vascular accidents (particularly acute myocardial infarction), renal toxicity secondary to a decrease in perfusion, and the risk of abnormal bleeding tendency due to the antiplatelet effect of these drugs. Their use is contraindicated in the third trimester of pregnancy, due to the induction of premature ductus arteriosus closure. The present study reviews the information currently available on NSAIDs, with special emphasis on those aspects related to dental practice

Esclerosis multiple como primera manifestacion en el territorio oral y facial: presentación de cuatro casos

La esclerosis múltiple (EM) es una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica del sistema nervioso central de etiología no conocida caracterizada por la aparición de sintomatologia neurológica diversa en forma de brotes o de deterioro progresivo y de lesiones en cualquier localización de la sustancia blanca cerebral que pueden dejar como secuelas la desmielinización definitiva de la zona. Esta enfermedad afecta a gente joven siendo más frecuente su aparición entre los 20 y 40 años, en climas templados y fríos y con una relación hombre-mujer de 0,46 / 0,67. La importancia de esta enfermedad radica en que es la primera causa de invalidez permanente en adultos jóvenes. Presentamos 4 casos de EM cuyo síntoma de inicio de la enfermedad fue la aparición de parestesias en el territorio maxilo-facial afectando a una o más ramas del trigémino y de tiempo de evolución que oscilaba entre 15 días y un año. Todos los pacientes fueron diagnosticados clínicamente siendo confirmado el diagnostico, tanto con la resonancia magnética como con el estudio del liquido cefalorraquídeo (LC) y los potenciales evocados(PE). Las manifestaciones en el territorio oral y facial fueron la primera manifestación de la enfermedad en todos los casos.Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, whose etiology is unknown, and which is characteristic by the appearance of a diverse neurological symptomatology consisting of outbreaks or gradual deterioration and lesions in any location of the brain's white matter which may provoke the after-effect of a definitive demyelination of the area. The disease affects young people, with its appearance being most frequent between 20 and 40 years of age, in temperate and cold climates, and with a man-woman rate of 0.46 / 0.67. The magnitude of this disease lies in the fact that it is the primary cause for permanent disablement among young adults. We are presenting 4 cases of MS whose initial symptom of the disease was the appearance of paraesthesia in the maxillofacial area, affecting one or more ramifications of the trigeminal nerve, and a progression time varying from 15 days to one year.All the patients were clinically diagnosed, with their diagnostics being confirmed both with magnetic resonance imaging as well as through the study of their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the Evoked potentials ( EPs). Manifestations in the oral and facial area were the first manifestation of the disease in all cases

Protective effects of arbuscular mycorrhizae on laurustinus plants irrigated with treated wastewater under field conditions

The combined effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and two kinds of reclaimed water was evaluated on the physiological behavior, leaf nutrition and aesthetic value of laurustinus plants. AMF satisfactorily colonized the laurustinus roots, enhanced the structure of soil, increased beneficial nutrients and decreased toxic ions in leaves, stimulated flowering and enhanced the water status of the plants irrigated with reclaimed water. AMF not only ameliorated the negative effects of reclaimed water with high salinity, but also had a positive effect in well watered plants.This work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (AGL 2011‐30022‐C02‐ 01‐02) and Fundación Séneca (15356/PI/10)

Effect of different quality irrigation water on the growth, mineral concentration and physiological parameters of Viburnum tinus plants

Treated wastewater may be considered an alternative source of water and fertilizer nutrients for landscape plants. However, NaCl, the principal compound in this water, can be detrimental to plants. Viburnum tinus plants were submitted for 4 months to 4 irrigation treatments with water from different sources: control (Control) (EC < 0.9 dS m-1); NaCl solution (NaCl) (EC = 4 dS m-1); irrigation water normally used in the area (IW) (EC = 1.2-1.8 dS m-1) and reclaimed water (RW) (EC = 4 dS m-1). During a recovery period of two months, all the plants were irrigated with the control water. The results showed that biomass was affected in NaCl, IW and RW treatments, both leaf area and height decreased at the end of saline period. These changes were more pronounced in the NaCl treatment, which also caused a decrease in stem diameter and root/shoot ratio. The similar growth alterations founded after the recovery period showed that salts continued to be present in the substrate. Compared with the control, NaCl and RW plants showed a greater rate of Na+ and Cl- absorption by roots. Stem water potential was mainly affected by the NaCl treatment in the last weeks of the saline period. Through the experiment, the stomatal conductance and photosynthesis values were the lowest in plants that received the highest amount of salts, especially NaCl treatment which was the only treatment that did not recover at the end of experiment. Plants of the IW treatment showed slight changes in stomatal conductance and photosynthetic rate with respect to the control, although the reduction in the growth and size of these plants suggests that slight increases in EC could be very toxic for this species. Hence, using different sources of water with similar EC, (NaCl and RW) it is important to know the exact composition, since the toxic effects produced by high concentrations of Na+ and Cl- might be offset by the effect of other ions like magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. In the physicochemical analysis of water, the highest concentrations of these ions were observed in RW and as consequence, their concentrations in plants were not reduced by the Na+ and Cl- effect, phosphorus even increased, improving the plant nutritional balance.This work was supported by the projects: CICYT (AGL 2008- 05258-CO2-1-2- AGR and AGL 2011-30022-CO2-01-02), Fundación Séneca (15356/PI/10) and Vías y Construcción, S.

Respuesta del crecimiento radial del tallo de Cestrum nocturnum en maceta al estrés hídrico y ambiental

El uso de dendrómetros en tallos puede ser una buena alternativa a los sensores de suelo para evaluar estreses de las plantas durante la producción viverística de arbustos ornamentales. En este estudio, se cultivaron plantas de galán de noche (Cestrum nocturnum) en maceta, en invernadero y durante el verano. Las plantas fueron cultivadas bajo estrés ambiental y luego bajo sequía, con el fin de evaluar la capacidad de los índices dendrométricos (IDs) para detectar el estrés de las plantas y su potencial uso para manejar el riego. Bajo estrés ambiental el crecimiento diametral del tallo (CDT) disminuyó a medida que se agravaba el estrés, mientras que la contracción máxima diaria del diámetro del tallo (MCT) experimentó fuertes oscilaciones. Bajo sequía, se observó un claro aumento de la MCT junto con la disminución en el CDT. Los resultados indican que los IDs pueden ser una herramienta útil para la detección del estrés hídrico y ambiental de galán de noche en la producción viverística; sin embargo, la sensibilidad de los IDs a ambos tipos de estreses reduce la eficacia de su uso como indicadores de riego.Este trabajo ha sido financiado por los Proyectos PID2022-141821OB-I00 y AGROALNEXT programa financiado MCI-Next Generation EU (PRTR-C17.I1) and Fundación Séneca Región Murcia
