The implementation of structural health monitoring systems in civil engineering structures already in the construction phase could contribute to safer and more resilient infrastructure. Due to their lightweight, small size ...

[ANGLÈS] Iscan's method (1984) is the analysis of the sternal end cavity of the human fourth rib. In this project we will compute the shape descriptors described in his work with advanced image processing tools and try to ...

This paper represents a contribution to the study of hazard caused by the interaction between landslides and river courses. The effects of such interferences are often catastrophic and could include the formation of upstream ...

Purpose: To qualitatively and quantitatively compare synthetic and conventional MRI sequences acquired on a 1.5-T system for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: Prospective study that involved twenty-seven ...

Purpose: Astigmatism blurs the retinal image of a circular spot along a particular orientation rendering it an elliptical shape. Astigmatic patients demonstrate adaptation to residual astigmatic blur that may affect their ...

In this paper, we present and evaluate the skill of an EC-Earth3.3 decadal prediction system contributing to the Decadal Climate Prediction Project – Component A (DCPP-A). This prediction system is capable of skilfully ...

This paper assesses a model for the full-scale engineered barrier experiment (Febex) in situ test, simulating the disposal of heat-emitting, high-level spent nuclear fuel. The model has been developed using Code_Bright and ...

Small satellites are becoming increasingly popular in several applications, in which attitude systems might require high precision performance. These spacecrafts are susceptible to magnetic disturbances in orbit, such as ...

Nowadays, microcontrollers used in critical real-time embedded systems use mostly one core, but are being replaced with more powerful hardware platforms that implement multicore systems. Among the latter, it is possible ...
