A hybrid gateway discovery algorithm for supporting QoS communications in heterogeneous networks
[EN] In most practical applications, ad hoc mobile devices demand the access to wired hosts located beyond the limits of the mobile ad hoc network, forming a heterogeneous wired-cum-wireless network. This interconnection requires a network device known as gateway. The gateway functions as a bridge between the ad hoc environment and infrastructure-based networks, as Internet. We propose in this paper an algorithm for the discovery and selection of gateways and its integration in a routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks. Our proposed algorithm is based on an adaptive hybrid strategy where the proactive and reactive methods are combined. Consequently, gateways maintain routing information sending advertisement messages to mobile nodes inside a limited range (proactive area). Those nodes located outside that area must execute a reactive gateway discovery process. The size of the proactive area and the frequency of the control messages are dynamically adapted. The simulation results show that our approach achieves better results in terms of packet loss and delay without increasing the routing overhead.Castellanos Hernández, WE.; Guerri Cebollada, JC.; Chacon Osorio, ME.

The Role of Lipopeptidophosphoglycan in the Immune Response to Entamoeba histolytica
The sensing of Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs) by innate immune receptors, such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs), is the first step in the inflammatory response to pathogens. Entamoeba histolytica, the etiological agent of amebiasis, has a surface molecule with the characteristics of a PAMP. This molecule, which was termed lipopeptidophosphoglycan (LPPG), is recognized through TLR2 and TLR4 and leads to the release of cytokines from human monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells; LPPG-activated dendritic cells have increased expression of costimulatory molecules. LPPG activates NKT cells in a CD1d-dependent manner, and this interaction limits amebic liver abscess development. LPPG also induces antibody production, and anti-LPPG antibodies prevent disease development in animal models of amebiasis. Because LPPG is recognized by both the innate and the adaptive immune system (it is a “Pamptigen”), it may be a good candidate to develop a vaccine against E. histolytica infection and an effective adjuvant
Breastfeeding and Premature Newborn in the NICU
Today it is well known that the best gift that a mother can give her baby is breast milk. And what happens with all those children who for some reason are born premature, who cannot start breastfeeding either because of their severity, because they are separated from their breasts or simply because of their severity. For many years, the World Health Organization recommends exclusive human milk during the first 6 months of life, however, the premature newborn sent to the neonatal intensive care unit experiences a series of unfortunate events before starting enteral feeding many of them. They die during their stay. However, at the moment the importance has been given to the beginning of human milk from its mother or from a milk bank, and of the care around the family that the critically ill newborn must have. Unfortunately, Mexico and Latin America continue to have some areas with many lags in terms of nutrition and care of the newborn in the NICU. The success of breastfeeding with a baby in the NICU depends on the information and training provided to the mother about the expression, storage and transport of her milk. That the whole family be made aware that an essential part in the recovery of premature infants is to provide breast milk in a timely manner
Charge density wave in layered La1-xCexSb2
The layered rare-earth diantimonides RSb2 are anisotropic metals with generally low electronic densities whose properties can be modified by substituting the rare earth. LaSb2 is a nonmagnetic metal with a low residual resistivity presenting a low-temperature magnetoresistance that does not saturate with the magnetic field. It has been proposed that the latter can be associated to a charge density wave (CDW), but no CDW has yet been found. Here we find a kink in the resistivity above room temperature in LaSb2 (at 355 K) and show that the kink becomes much more pronounced with substitution of La by Ce along the La1-xCexSb2 series. We find signatures of a CDW in x-ray scattering, specific heat, and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments in particular for x≈0.5. We observe a distortion of rare-earth-Sb bonds lying in-plane of the tetragonal crystal using x-ray scattering, an anomaly in the specific heat at the same temperature as the kink in resistivity and charge modulations in STM. We conclude that LaSb2 has a CDW which is stabilized in the La1-xCexSb2 series due to substitutional disorder.E.H. acknowledges the support of Departamento Administrativo de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación, COL-CIENCIAS (Colombia) Programa Doctorados en el Exterior Convocatoria 568-2012.

The Fourteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey and from the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) has been in
operation since July 2014. This paper describes the second data release from
this phase, and the fourteenth from SDSS overall (making this, Data Release
Fourteen or DR14). This release makes public data taken by SDSS-IV in its first
two years of operation (July 2014-2016). Like all previous SDSS releases, DR14
is cumulative, including the most recent reductions and calibrations of all
data taken by SDSS since the first phase began operations in 2000. New in DR14
is the first public release of data from the extended Baryon Oscillation
Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS); the first data from the second phase of the
Apache Point Observatory (APO) Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE-2),
including stellar parameter estimates from an innovative data driven machine
learning algorithm known as "The Cannon"; and almost twice as many data cubes
from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA) survey as were in the previous
release (N = 2812 in total). This paper describes the location and format of
the publicly available data from SDSS-IV surveys. We provide references to the
important technical papers describing how these data have been taken (both
targeting and observation details) and processed for scientific use. The SDSS
website (www.sdss.org) has been updated for this release, and provides links to
data downloads, as well as tutorials and examples of data use. SDSS-IV is
planning to continue to collect astronomical data until 2020, and will be
followed by SDSS-V.Comment: SDSS-IV collaboration alphabetical author data release paper. DR14
happened on 31st July 2017. 19 pages, 5 figures. Accepted by ApJS on 28th Nov
2017 (this is the "post-print" and "post-proofs" version; minor corrections
only from v1, and most of errors found in proofs corrected
Case-Serie of 4 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit in a hospital institution in Barranquilla, Colombia
Objetivo: Presentar una serie de casos de COVID-19 con requerimiento
de ingreso a Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos. Métodos: La información fue tomada
de las historias clínicas, y su evaluación y diagnóstico fue realizado mediante
estudios paraclínicos en sangre, orina, PCR e imágenes diagnósticas en 4 pacientes
con diferentes comorbilidades y nexo epidemiológico presente para desarrollo de la
enfermedad. El caso 1 desarrolló falla orgánica múltiple, incluyendo injuria renal
aguda con una estancia en UCI de 4 dias antes de su fallecimiento, mientras los
casos 2, 3 y 4 tuvieron una evolución favorable y fueron dados de alta de UCI. Los
cuatro casos fueron manejados con cloroquina 300 mg via oral cada 12 horas y
azitromicina 1 gr via oral cada 24 horas durante 5 dias sin complicaciones ni
toxicidad asociada. Conclusiones: Se requieren estudios multicéntricos rápidos
que orienten científicamente hacia un mejor abordaje diagnóstico y manejo, en el
contexto de una enfermedad con un comportamiento clínico-epidemiologico que
debe estudiarse en profundidad y que probablemente cobrará muchas vidas,
ademas, debido a la ausencia de pruebas diagnósticas rápidas, la utilización de una
clasificación basada en la severidad de lesiones radiológicas llamada CO-RADS
(Covid-19 Imaging Reporting and Data System), podría ser de gran importancia para
instalar de manera temprana los tratamientos farmacológicos disponibles y la
asistencia respiratoria mecánica precoz.Objective: To present a COVID-19 case series with clinical admission
criteria to Intensive Care Unit. Methods: Patients information was obtained from
medical records, and daily clinical evaluation whereas diagnosis was carried out
through paraclinical studies in blood, urine, PCR and diagnostic images in 4 patients
with different comorbidities and epidemiological link for the development of COVID19. The case 1 developed multiple organ failure, including acute kidney injury with
an ICU stay of 4 days before his death, while cases 2, 3 and 4 had a favorable
evolution and were discharged from the ICU. All four cases were managed with
chloroquine 300 mg orally every 12 hours and azithromycin orally every 24 hours for
5 days without complications or associated toxicity. Conclusions: rapid multicenter
studies are required to scientifically guide a better diagnostic and management
approach, in the context of a disease with a clinical-epidemiological behavior that
must be studied in depth and will probably take many lives. In addition, due to the
absence of sufficiently rapid tests, the use of a classification based on the severity
of radiological lesions called CO-RADS (Covid-19 Imaging Reporting and Data
System), could be of great importance to install av
