RE-GASTRECTOMIE LONGITUDINALE
La re-gastrectomie longitudinale après gastrectomie longitudinale est une nouvelle approche de la chirurgie de l'obésité. Nous rapportons le cas d'un patient de 19 ans porteur d'un situs inversus complet et d'une super superobésité (244 Kg ; IMC = 81 KG/m2. Le patient a eu une première gastrectomie longitudinale suivie d'une seconde 19 mois après la première à cause d'une dilatation de la poche gastrique. Dix huit mois après la première intervention, son poids était de 170 Kg (I
FORMATIC – Paris 2011 – Bureautique santé : dématérialiser les échanges ville-hôpital
Production, échanges et partage d’informations de données de santé, sont les enjeux essentiels auxquels doivent répondre tous les établissements de santé. Dans ce contexte, l’établissement de Picardie a mis en place et déployé une solution de bureautique santé assurant une meilleure communication interne et externe à l’établissement.
Les thèmes abordés dans le cadre de cette intervention seraient les suivants :

From texture to volume: an investigation in quasi-crystalline systems
The relation between texture, pattern and massing is a fundamental question in architecture. Classical architecture, as Leon Battista Alberti states in ?De re aedificatoria? (Book VI, Chapter 2), is developed through massing and structure first; texture is added afterwards to give the bold massing and structure beauty. Only the ornamentation adds pulcritudo to the raw structure and massing. Rather than starting with a volume and applying texture afterwards, the Digital Girih project started with

What About Women?
Women’s votes will determine the result of this closely fought election and all the parties have mounted a media charm offensive to win their support. But is there any policy substance behind their spin? What would the parties' policies in key areas such as the economy, the family, crime and reforming politics mean for women’s lives and which party would best progress women’s equality and human rights?
Crowd Simulation for Urban Planning
This paper presents a semi-automatic visualization method for the evaluation of urban environments that is based on artificial intelligence. It proposes the use of agent-based crowd simulation software on a mid-scale urban planning level for design evaluation. The information on agents? movements is noted in standard raster images. The results are maps that are easy to understand. These maps show movement paths of the agents and density and give further conclusion on bottlenecks in planning cont
Precast 13: Nervous System 3
ENHANCED podcast on neurotransmitters and drugs.
Precast 2: Overview of Psychology
ENHANCED podcast on goals of the course, problems with "facts," and the definition of "psychology."
Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Multiple Sclerosis
The 8th presentation in the series features the return of author and online contributor Dr. Alan Bowling. Dr. Bowling is from Denver and is internationally acknowledged as the leading medical expert on the use of complementary and alternative medicine for treatment of MS. He discusses the use of vitamins, herbs, marijuana, and other non-standard treatments for this disease. (Series: Multiple Sclerosis from A to Z)
Designing is Information and Emotion
It could be stated that designing is a procedure of working out the problems. The point of that procedure is to transform the input data (information about what is demanded) into the system documentation (thing) accomplishing the task. While designing we would like to reach our goal in a certain (reliable) way.
Algorithm For The Automatic Design Of A Shading Device
Given that there is a need to shade a window from the summer sun and also a need to expose it to the winter sun, this article describes an algorithm to design automatically a geometric construct that satisfies both requirements. The construct obtained represents the minimum solution to the simultaneous requirements. The window may be described by an arbitrary convex polygon and it may be oriented in any direction and it may be placed at any chosen latitude. The algorithm consists of two sequenti
Producci?n Digital de un Auditorio (Digital Production of an Auditorium)
In the middle of the year 2001, we had the opportunity to project an Auditory in the particular building of our School of Architecture. The chance to produce the entire project an all the technical documentation was given; using only digital tools. The use of this tools let us to calculate illumination, isolation study, sound an thermical conditioning with a real time visualization of the three dimensional model.
21A.218J Identity and Difference (MIT)
How can the individual be at once cause and consequence of society, a unique agent of social action and also a social product? This course explores how identities, whether of individuals or groups, based on single behaviors or institutional practices, are produced, maintained, and transformed. Students will be introduced to various theoretical perspectives that are used to make sense of identity formation, including essentialism, constructivism, stigma, deviance, discourse, and performance. We w
Patriarch: A Hypermedia Environment for the Support of Architectural Design
This paper reports on current research in the field of architectural design and knowledge- based systems, through the conception and implementation of two software tools operating as a part of an integrated hypermedia environment denominated PatriArch. Main concern of this set of tools operating in PatriArch is the support of design since the very beginning, in that phase of not yet correctly explored or interpretated constraints and of scarcely specified goals, in which an initial solution mode
Applying CBR to the Teaching of Architectural Design
This paper presents an approach to the analysis and description of the nature of process knowledge in architectural design, the development of a conceptual model for Galathea, a case-based navigation tool for its support, and the application of this theoretical foundation to the teaching of design to a group of about 100 second-year architecture students. Design is assumed as a globally coherent information, memory and experience-intensive process in which professional skill is the capability to
Evaluating intelligent buildings according to level of service systems integration
The intelligent building is supposed to provide the environment and means for an optimal utilization of the building, according to its designation. This extended function of a building can be achieved only by means of an extensive use of building service systems, such as HVAC; electric power; communication; safety and security; transportation; sanitation, etc. Building intelligence is not related to the sophistication of service systems in a building, but rather to the integration among the vari
Collaborative Architectural Design as a reflective Conversation: an agent facilitated system to supp
In this paper, definitions of collaborative design are discussed and understood in terms of a designer?s cognitive collaborations to explore his/her experiential memory for remote idea associations. Based on Schon?s reflective practice theory, Valkenburg and Dorst?s (1998) description of collaborative team designing is adopted as a model for a proposed design conversation system. The design conversation system is aimed at triggering the experiential memory of the designer by associating signific
