Presentation of the LibLink Initiative (Library Linkages) of ISTEC. The main strategies, projects, and actions carried out in the meeting with the Hermes project are presented.

A Data Warehouse (DW) is a tool that integrates and unifies information from multiple data sources and is used to assist decision making. In academic institutions, a Data Warehouse oriented to scientific and academic intellectual production could provide valuable inform...

Axolotls are uniquely able to resolve spinal cord injuries, but little is known about the mechanisms underlying spinal cord regeneration. We previously found that tail amputation leads to reactivation of a developmental-like program in spinal cord ependymal cells (Rodri...

In the Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm, the Metropolis algorithm is applied to generate a sequence of solutions in the search space, known as the Markov chain. Usually, the algorithms employ the same Markov Chain Length (MCL) in the Metropolis cycle for each temperat...

Classification algorithms are widely used in several areas: finance, education, security, medicine, and more. Another use of these algorithms is to support feature extraction techniques. These techniques use classification algorithms to determine the best subset of attr...

Photosensitizers utilized in photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be exited with light of any wavelengths matching their absorption bands. Thus, superficial lesions, such as those involved in cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CINs) might be treated with a light of shorter ...

This document presents a line of doctoral research that proposes a cybersecurity strategy that has not been formally standardized up to now, based on knowledge of defense intelligence operations, and applying a dynamic approach, in a context of threat risk, anticipating...

Systems have evolved in such a way that today’s parallel systems are capable of offering high capacity and better performance. The design of approaches seeking for the best set of parameters in the context of a high-performance execution is fundamental. Although complex...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a critical and major social health problem. Comorbidities and coexisting conditions and symptoms are associated with and affected the whole body of COPD patients. Regarding the Exacerbation COPD patient, the Emergency Depa...

Software has become a transversal and foundational element of the new industrial revolution, with a growing presence in every stage of production processes. Software inclusion has grown not only quantitative but also qualitative; this increase turns critical the impact ...
