The positioning of macrochromosomes of Bothrops jararaca and Bothrops insularis (Viperidae) was studied in undistorted radial metaphases of uncultured cells (spermatogonia and oogonia) not subjected to spindle inhibitors.Colchicinized metaphases from uncultured (spleen and intestine) and cultured tissues (blood) were also analyzed.We report two ant
Assessment of the potential role of muscle spindle mechanoreceptor afferents in chronic muscle pain in the rat masseter muscle.
BACKGROUND: The phenotype of large diameter sensory afferent neurons changes in several models of neuropathic pain.We asked if similar changes also occur in "functional" pain syndromes.METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Acidic saline (AS, pH 4.0) injections into the masseter muscle were used to induce persistent myalgia.Controls received saline at pH
qRobot: A Quantum Computing Approach in Mobile Robot Order Picking and Batching Problem Solver Optimization
This article aims to bring quantum computing to robotics.A quantum algorithm is developed to minimize the distance traveled in warehouses and distribution centers where order picking is applied.For this, a proof of concept is proposed through a Raspberry Pi 4, generating a quantum combinatorial optimization algorithm that saves the distance travell
BEHAVIOUR CONTROL WITH AUGMENTED REALITY SYSTEMS FOR SHARED SPACES
Augmented Reality (AR) in a traffic context has mainly been used in navigation with path augmentation, focused around safely guiding the user with Electric Guitar prior knowledge of the route and the destination.Other works are reported to warn drivers by visualizing other traffic participants or dangers, which are yet currently out of sight.Howeve
The adaptive reuse of historic city centres. Bologna and Lisbon: solutions for urban regeneration
The European historic city centres are currently experiencing innovative approaches for rehabilitation of urban spaces afflicted by social and physical decay.The revitalization challenges are a consequence of the integration of contemporary technologies and solutions to achieve new requirements and Pouches of the impacts of socio-economic dynamics.
