Barber v. State, 131 Nev. Adv, Op. 103 (December 31, 2015)

The Court considered an appeal from a district court conviction. The Court reversed the Eighth Judicial District Court’s judgment of conviction, pursuant to a jury verdict of burglary and grand larceny. The juvenile court retains jurisdiction over Barber because the legislation did not include language regarding jurisdiction stripping or dismissal requirements. However, the Court reversed the judgment because the prosecution presented insufficient evidence to support Barber’s conviction

Camera characterization for improving color archaeological documentation

[EN] Determining the correct color is essential for proper cultural heritage documentation and cataloging. However, the methodology used in most cases limits the results since it is based either on perceptual procedures or on the application of color profiles in digital processing software. The objective of this study is to establish a rigorous procedure, from the colorimetric point of view, for the characterization of cameras, following different polynomial models. Once the camera is characterized, users obtain output images in the sRGB space that is independent of the sensor of the camera. In this article we report on pyColorimetry software that was developed and tested taking into account the recommendations of the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE). This software allows users to control the entire digital image processing and the colorimetric data workflow, including the rigorous processing of raw data. We applied the methodology on a picture targeting Levantine rock art motifs in Remigia Cave (Spain) that is considered part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Three polynomial models were tested for the transformation between color spaces. The outcomes obtained were satisfactory and promising, especially with RAW files. The best results were obtained with a second-order polynomial model, achieving residuals below three CIELAB units. We highlight several factors that must be taken into account, such as the geometry of the shot and the light conditions, which are determining factors for the correct characterization of a digital camera.The authors gratefully acknowledge the support from the Spanish Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad to the project HAR2014-59873-R.

Sistema de dispensación de medicamentos por dosis diarias unitarias. Desarrollo y estandarización de un método de doble validación farmacéutica

El uso de medicamentos debe ser una práctica segura que logre el objetivo terapéutico buscado al realizar la prescripción de los mismos En el ámbito hospitalario se desempeñan actividades desde el servicio de farmacia que aseguran la calidad de esta actividad. Por medio de la dispensación de medicamentos por dosis unitarias y la validación de la prescripción por un profesional farmacéutico se garantiza el cumplimiento de la correcta prescripción y se racionaliza el uso de los fármacos. Sin embargo, el papel del farmacéutico tiene un potencial mayor si este especialista en medicamentos interviene en forma activa en la toma de decisiones terapéuticas con el médico junto a la cama del paciente. La posibilidad de realizar una doble validación de la prescripción, e intervenir asegurando una metodología eficaz y clara sería una estrategia educativa para farmacéuticos que permitiría afianzar las actividades de los mismos en el ámbito hospitalario incorporando este profesional al equipo interdisciplinario de salud.Fil: Bertoldo, Pamela.

THE SURPRISING HISTORY OF CLAIMS FOR LIFE ON THE SUN

Abstract: Because astronomers are now convinced that it is impossible for life, especially intelligent life, to exist on the Sun and stars, it might be assumed that astronomers have always held this view. This paper shows that throughout most of the history of astronomy, some intellectuals, including a number of well-known astronomers, have advocated the existence of intelligent life on our Sun and thereby on stars. Among the more prominent figures discussed are Nicolas of Cusa
