Nowadays, there are devices with great computing capabilities and these in different places around us. This technology opens us new possibilities and allows us the simple and easy interaction between user and computer. We ...

In this paper, a patient mobile monitoring enabling framework is presented. To this end, biometric devices (e.g. glucometers, blood pressure meters) are used to send data to the mobile phone via technologies such as NFC ...

Welding distortion is practically an expected feature in shipbuilding, with a few exceptions; when thick plates are used, for example. Nowadays, the trend is to use thinner plates in order to reduce weight, aiming to reduce ...

La représentation hybride d'image utilise conjointement la décomposition en ondelettes pour l'information structurée et la modélisation paramétrique pour les textures. Dans ce cadre, nous proposons un algorithme qui décompose ...

Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction (in selected samples) have been used to characterize corrosion products on carbon steels after atmospheric exposure to the tropical Panamanian locations of Panama and ...

This article describes a model for the evaluation of educational quality using a virtual learning environment. This model describes quantitative and qualitative aspects that are based on a set of quality attributes and ...

An approach for achieving reliable, built-in, high-accuracy force sensing for legged robots is presented, based on direct exploitation of the properties of a robot’s mechanical structure. The proposed methodology relies ...

Emission of greenhouse gases, including nitrous oxide (N2O), from open beef cattle feedlots is becoming an environmental concern; however, research measuring emission rates of N2O from open beef cattle feedlots has been ...

In this paper, we propose a new architecture for diabetes patients. These applications allow the monitoring, patient selfcontrol and communication between patient and doctor. Moreover, as an important study case, we present ...
