Warfarin or acenocoumarol: which is better in the management of oral anticoagulants?
Abstract
Warfarin is employed more frequently than acenocoumarol because of its longer half-life (36 h), theoretically providing more stable anticoagulation, and avoiding factor VII fluctuations that potentially occur during acenocoumarol treatment (half-life 10 h). The aim of our study was to compare acenocoumarol with warfarin in the same group of 103 patients who started oral anticoagulation with acenocoumarol and then changed to warfarin. In these patients we compared the previous period of six months on acenocoumarol treatment (July-December 1996) with a new six-month period on warfarin (July-December 1997). We wished to know whether warfarin could improve the quality and the stability of oral anticoagulation of our patients and whether there was a difference between the two drugs in the weekly mean dose per patient. Moreover in order to detect the possible daily fluctuation of factor VII, we evaluated a further group of 54 patients. A subgroup of these patients was treated wi..
Graph models of network behavior in environmental planning
Policies to protect the environment in Europe and in the rest of the world have been adjusted to take into account the network behavior of conglomerates of nature protection areas. Network behavior can emerge from the natural configuration of habitat patches, or be induced by the establishment of habitat corridors. Careful planning is required to protect and improve the network behavior in existing sites; this has prompted researchers to build graph models of ecological networks, and apply complex network analysis to improve the understanding of their features. However, the most common approach is to keep the focus on a single species, meant to be representative of most species within the area under analysis, or especially important with respect to conservation issues. In this paper, data pertaining to land use types found within sites making up the "Natura 2000" ecological network is used to provide a high-level view of the network, and propose a framework for study, in which similarity measures are used as a criterion to suggest guidelines for land management

A design pattern for multimodal and multidevice user interfaces
In this paper, we introduce the MVIC pattern for creating multidevice and multimodal interfaces. We discuss the advantages provided by introducing a new component to the MVC pattern for those interfaces which must adapt to different devices and modalities. The proposed solution is based on an input model defining equivalent and complementary sequence of inputs for the same interaction. In addition, we discuss Djestit, a javascript library which allows creating multidevice and multimodal input models for web applications, applying the aforementioned pattern. The library supports the integration of multiple devices (Kinect 2, Leap Motion, touchscreens) and different modalities (gestural, vocal and touch). Copyright is held by the owner/author(s)
