The present work carried out the internal inspection of the pipeline that allows the natural gas transport from the “Compresora Lisama” to the gas plant “El Centro” in Santander, Colombia, establishing the current pipeline conditions and defining the actions that must be taken to maintain the safety of the process. The internal inspection was carri...
Several image editing methods have been proposed in the past decades, achieving brilliant results. The most sophisticated of them, however, require additional information per‐pixel. For instance, dehazing requires a specific transmittance value per pixel, or depth of field blurring requires depth or disparity values per pixel. This additional per‐p...
Plant DNA and RNA extraction methods are well established, with a wide range of protocols, depending on the purposes of each laboratory/research.

One of the peculiarities, at lexical level, of Katomyomakhia is that the Greek term for the cat is not widespread aílouros but káta. As in this work action is transmitted only from the point of view of the mice, it can be assumed that this would be the perspective with which the author wants to be identified their listener/reader(s), by circulating...

Redefinition of circuit operational conditions and the combination of a new corrosion inhibition treatment (designed by Adic-ionic® software) w...
Enterobacteriaceae family is the most important and heterogeneous group of gram-negative bacilly (GNB) with clinical relevance. They produce a wide variety of diseases in humans. Clinically they may be classified in two groups: primary pathogens (Salmonella enterica, Shigella spp., Yersinia spp. and some strains of Escherichia coli), mainly implica...
Enterobacteriaceae are the most numerous and diverse group of Gram-negative bacilli. They are found in soil, water or vegetation, some are part of the normal intestinal flora of most animals and man. Some members of this family are considered primary pathogens as they always are associated with disease when isolated in clinical samples, others howe...
Antiretroviral therapy has modified the natural history of the HIV infection. The antiretroviral treatment has evolved from an initial phase in which the main and probably sole objective was saving the life to the actual phase in which an additional objective is to avoid the adverse effects. Adherence to therapy is the basis to attain these objecti...

In the comedy The Clouds, from the comic poet Aristophanes, the Aér is mentioned three times, twice by Socrates and one by Strepsiades. Translators, commentators and critics have always considered that when this element was mentioned, it referred to the cosmological doctrines of the philosophers of the phisis, especially of the physikós Diogenes of...
The question of how to determine the number of independent latent
factors (topics) in mixture models such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation
(LDA) is of great practical importance. In most applications, the exact
number of topics is unknown, and depends on the application and the size
of the data set. Bayesian nonparametric methods can avoid the proble...
In this chapter the historical development and current status of luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are reviewed. LSCs are novel, low-cost photovoltaic devices basically constituted by highly luminescent slab coupled with small, high-effi ciency solar cells. LSC devices convert both direct and diffuse sunlight, are very fl exible covering a var...
The Pre-Damping Rings (PDRs) and Damping Rings (DRs) of CLIC are needed to reduce the beam emittances to the small values required for the main linacs. The injection and extraction, from the PDRs and DRs, are carried out by kicker systems. In order to achieve both low beam coupling impedance and reasonable broadband impedance matching to the electr...
The power of modern high throughput DNA sequencers is enabling a new generation of virological studies in which metagenomes of ecosystems can be determined to understand evolution and variability of viruses.

The study starts with the recognition of a complex social reality de- rived from two concepts or frames of reference: positivism and interpre-tivism. First, the origin of the terms validity and reliability is reviewed in order to establish comparisons, interpretive moments and critical reflec-tions. Application of these two terms, intimately and tr...
Background Psychological disturbances are common in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). From the cognitive-behavioral theoretical perspective, they may be due largely to specific cognitive distortions (CD) that are likely to be modified by brief interventions.
