PublicationKuskaya: A training program for collaboration and innovation in global health(Dove Medical Press Ltd., 2019-01-01)To solve increasingly complex global health problems, health professionals must collaborate with professionals in non-health-related fields. The Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia and University of Washington created the NIH-funded Kuskaya training program in response to the need for transformative global health training for talented graduates from all disciplines. Kuskaya is a 1-year, interdisciplinary training program that teaches Peruvian and US graduates critical skills related to public health research through the design and implementation of a collaborative research project in Peru. Between 2014 and 2018, the program has trained 33 fellows, of which one third were from non-health disciplines. The program is unique because it targets junior trainees from disciplines outside of the health field, the program’s curriculum is adapted to fit the fellows’ backgrounds and professional aspirations, and the structure of the program allows for collaboration within the cohort and encourages fellows to apply for additional funding and pursue advanced degrees. Lessons learned in designing the Kuskaya program include: 1) involving mentors in the fellow selection process, 2) involving fellows in existing lines of research to increase mentor involvement, 3) institutionalizing mentoring through regular works-in-progress meetings and providing mentoring materials, and 4) defining a core curriculum for all fellows while providing additional supplementary materials to meet each cohort’s needs, and evaluating their progress. Kuskaya provides an innovative model for bi-national, global health training to engage and provide a public health career pathway for all professionals.

PublicationApproximate nearest neighbors by deep hashing on large-scale search: Comparison of representations and retrieval performance(IEEE, 2017-11-01)The growing volume of data and its increasing complexity require even more efficient and faster information retrieval techniques. Approximate nearest neighbor search algorithms based on hashing were proposed to query high-dimensional datasets due to its high retrieval speed and low storage cost. Recent studies promote the use of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with hashing techniques to improve the search accuracy.

PublicationEtiology of acute pneumonia syndrome in beef cattle in Lima [Etiología del síndrome neumónico agudo en vacunos de engorde en Lima](Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, 2000-01-01)Clinical-, serological and pathological examinations were conducted on twenty feedlot cattle with acute pneumonia from the Department ofLima, in order to determine the etiology ofthe disease. Prior to sacrifice ali the animals were monitored for clinical signs and sera samples taken for serological testing. At postmortem, ali affected lungs were examined grossly and pathological samples were taken to identify viral agents by direct immunoflourescence and/or bacteriological isolation, as well as for histopathological studies.

PublicationInnovaciones tecnológicas agropecuarias(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Chota, 2018-09-01)La tecnología agropecuaria incluye desde distintos tipos de máquinas hasta trabajos de laboratorio que permiten incrementar de manera eficiente y eficaz estas actividades. Hoy en día se tiende que el campo esté conectado a la red y muchas empresas agropecuarias están sufriendo un gran cambio en sus procesos, actividad comercial y agronegocio. En este sentido la tecnología agropecuaria, hace mención a los conocimientos, las técnicas y los artefactos que permiten la utilización de elementos tecnológicos en las tareas ganaderas y agrícolas. Sin embargo, en nuestro país aún existe dependencia tecnológica foránea que muchas veces hace que la adquisición, reparación y mantenimiento de equipos, productos o servicios sean onerosos y por ende muchas veces imposible de obtenerlas. Por este y otros motivos en la empresa MAXCORP se han realizado y se realizan diversas innovaciones tecnológicas agropecuarias entre los que tenemos a el MOSIVILLe, que sirve para monitorizar signos vitales, el FIBER EC, para evaluar la calidad de la fibra y el MEDULOMETRO, para evaluar la calidad de la fibra por tipo de medulación. Estos equipos pasaron por respectivos procesos de validación, habiéndose realizado publicaciones científicas, trabajos tesis y diversos trabajos de investigación en diversas instituciones científicas y académicas. Asimismo, se encuentran en el mercado siendo nuestros principales clientes las universidades, institutos de investigación y empresas.

PublicationA parametric 3D-printed body-powered hand prosthesis based on the four-bar linkage mechanism(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-01-01)The widespread of 3D-printing technology has resulted in the appearance of many open-source prosthetic hand models, especially for partial hand amputations. However, most of these designs are not editable and while some are parametric to some degree, customization for every user is limited to scaling the size of a base design. As consequence, most prostheses fail to closely match the user specific anthropometry and have poor aesthetics, which could result in abandonment of the device. Furthermore, achieving a high degree of customization could be a time-consuming task and requires previous knowledge of CAD design. This work presents a prosthetic hand easy to customize by changing parametric dimensions of the finger phalanges and palm on an Excel sheet. Additionally, the design tackles common issues from previous 3D-printed body-powered prosthetic hands by incorporating new features such as the use of linkages instead of cables as finger flexors and a new cable-adjusting system which requires no additional tools and makes the tensioning of finger tendons easier and quicker.
