We assess the reliability and validity of ALTAIR software, and to evaluate its clinical relevance by the association of thickness, area and length of the retinal vessels with other measures of vascular structure and function, target organ damage and cardiovascular risk.
Methods: Cross-sectional study involving a total of 250 subjects aged 62 ± 9 years, 51 % males.
Multirotor drones have been one of the most important technological advances of the last decade. Their mechanics are simple compared to other types of drones and their possibilities in flight are greater. For example, they can take-off vertically.

Many of the current state-of-the-art systems make decisions considering solely the environmental factors that cause the consumption of energy. These systems are successful at optimizing energy consumption; however, they do not adapt to the preferences of users and their comfort.

Although great advances have already been made in optimizing energy generation processes, many of these processes generate energy that inevitably gets wasted. A clear example of this are nuclear, thermal and carbon power plants, which lose a large amount of energy that could otherwise be used for different purposes, such as heating greenhouses.
