First results on an adaptive optics pre-mode cleaning system based on interferometric phase-front detection
No full textWe present an adaptive optics (AO) system for the control of geometrical fluctuations in a laser beam based on the interferometric detection of phase front. By comparison with the usual Shack–Hartman-based AO system, we show that this technique is of particular interest when high sensitivity and high band-pass are required for correction of small perturbations such as, for instance, the control of the input beam of gravitational waves interferometric detectors
Report on methodological framework for the evaluation
No full textThe methodology for the evaluation of LOWINFOOD’s innovations has been elaborated in a
multi-actor approach. This deliverable explains the process of setting the methodology, the
framework of the innovations (value chain maps, type of food waste) as well as the roadmap for
data collection (type and source of data, collection method, identification of data facilitators and
collectors).
A set of indicators has been identified focusing on the three dimensions for the evaluation:
efficacy, socio-economic impacts, and environmental impacts.
This deliverable has been elaborated in close cooperation with the task leader teams of WP1:
BOKU, UNIBO and JHI. The content of this deliverable has been shared and revised with the
External Advisory Board as well as other research partners of LOWINFOO
Bowel Dysfunction following Nerve-Sparing Radical Hysterectomy for Cervical Cancer: A Prospective Study.
No full textObjective: To objectively assess anorectal dysfunction following nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy in stage I-II cervical carcinoma patients. Material and Methods: Between 2008 and 2012, 21 patients with primary cervical cancer stage FIGO I-II were enrolled in this prospective study. All women underwent nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy. Anorectal manometry was performed preoperatively and 6 months after surgery. A paired Student t test was used to assess the statistical difference between the manometric evaluations. A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Twenty-one patients were available for follow-up. Maximal and mean anal resting and squeezing pressures were unaffected by the surgical procedure, rectoanal inhibitory reflex and length of the high anal pressure zone did not change after the operation. The minimal volume to elicit rectal sensation, urge to defecate and maximal tolerable volume did not change significantly in the postoperative period, although they decreased in 2 and increased in 3 patients. In addition, rectal compliance did not change after surgery. Furthermore, no significant differences were found between patients who were or were not treated with adjuvant radiotherapy. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer does not seem to be associated with long-term anorectal dysfunctio
