The invention relates to a method for the passive ventilation and/or heating of dwellings, industrial warehouses and/or buildings, using a solar air heater or collector. The invention also relates to a natural method of ventilating dwellings, industrial warehouses and/or buildings, using two passive systems, a solar heater and a dynamic-type atmospheric air extractor, coupled in series. In the new combined system, air is extracted by means of a maximised double effect: the solar-thermal effect and the dynamic-wind effect. The solar heater is coupled to the atmospheric extractor by means of a trapezoidal nozzle-type constriction having a characteristic shape and dimensions. The entire system should be installed in such a way that it facilitates the collection of solar energy incident on its absorption plate, to permit improved heating and exploitation thereof. At the same time, the system should also be installed at a sufficient height to make use of the effect of the wind, and to make the dynamic air extractor rotate in an adequate manner. By coupling both devices (the solar heater and the dynamic-type atmospheric extractor) via a nozzle-type constriction having characteristic dimensions, an improved effect is achieved, the extraction of air in enclosed spaces and/or buildings being maximised by up to four times more than both systems could achieve separately, as was conventionally done. This new combined air extraction system is called a solar-wind chimney.

The calculation is carried out by associating doses in detectors placed at different positions in an anthropomorphic dummy and the events with a single effect in a semiconductor device placed in the treatment room. The method allows a simple and universal process for estimating the risk of secondary cancer from the real-time readings of an electronic device.

The invention relates to a method for predicting the response to treatment involving a taxane and chemotherapy with an antimetabolite, an intercalating agent and a DNA alkylating agent, for patients suffering from breast cancer. More specifically, a model has been developed by means of logistic regression, in which genomic testing of 40 genes, combined with clinical parameters, accurately predicts the complete pathological response (RCp) to the neoadjuvant treatment with paclitaxel and chemotherapy with fluorouracyl, adriamicine, and cyclophosphamide (T/FAC) for patients suffering from breast cancer with a normal expression of the HER-2 gene. Said model performs better than the conventionally used clinical variables.

Method and system for depositing coatings on cylindroid surfaces of extruded geometry. In said system, the cylindroid surfaces (1) are vertically suspended by a support (14) moved by a carousel (11). A vessel (3) is arranged on a lower clamp (15) that grips the cylindroid surface (1) which thereby remains fixed. The empty vessel (3) climbs up the uncoated cylindroid surface (1), and is filled with liquid (2) in its upper part. The vessel (3) has cylindroid dimensions, with a central opening, wherein it comes into contact with the cylindroid (1) to be coated. Once full, it moves vertically down said cylindroid surface (1). Once it reaches the lower clamp (15), said lower clamp releases the cylindroid surface (1) which advances on the carousel (11) until it reaches an oven (12) where the coating is sintered.
