Mechanisms implied in Escherichia coli removal during wastewater treatment
(Symposium on Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2011-08)
The wastewater treatment reduces the assimilable organic fraction and the number
of microorganisms of the effluents due to biological treatment and to the concentration
of bacteria in sludge after settling. Recycling of ...
Is General Relativity a simplified theory?
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
Gravity is understood as a geometrization of spacetime. But spacetime is also the manifold of the boundary values of the spinless point particle in a variational approach. Since all known matter, baryons, leptons and gauge ...
System architecture and deployment scenarios for SESAME: Small cEllS coordinAtion for Multi-tenancy and Edge services
(2016-05-17)
The surge of the Internet traffic with exabytes of data flowing over operators mobile networks has created the need to rethink the paradigms behind the design of the mobile network architecture. The inadequacy of the 4G ...
Building synthetic simulated environments for configuring and training multi-camera systems for surveillance applications
(SciTePress, Science and Technology Publications, Lda, 2021)
[EN] Synthetic simulated environments are gaining popularity in the Deep Learning Era, as they can alleviate the
effort and cost of two critical tasks to build multi-camera systems for surveillance applications: setting ...
Efficient multi-task based facial landmark and gesture detection in monocular images
(SciTePress, Science and Technology Publications, Lda, 2021)
[EN] The communication between persons includes several channels to exchange information between individuals.
The non-verbal communication contains valuable information about the context of the conversation and it is
a ...
On-demand serverless video surveillance with optimal deployment of deep neural networks
(SciTePress, Science and Technology Publications, Lda, 2021)
[EN] We present an approach to optimally deploy Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in serverless cloud architectures.
A serverless architecture allows running code in response to events, automatically managing the required
computing ...
Collective dynamics of glass-forming polymers at intermediate length scales: a synergetic combination of neutron scattering, atomistic simulations and theoretical modelling
(EDP Sciences, 2015)
Motivated by the proposition of a new theoretical ansatz [V.N. Novikov, K.S. Schweizer, A.P. Sokolov, J. Chem. Phys. 138, 164508 ( 2013)], we have revisited the question of the characterization of the collective response ...
Kinematic Analysis of a Continuum Parallel Robot
(Springer, 2017)
Continuum Parallel Robots are mechanical devices with closed loops where kinematic pairs have been eliminated and motion is obtained by large deformations of certain elements. Most compliant mechanisms use notches in thick ...
Kinematic Analysis of a Flexible Tensegrity Robot
(Springer, 2017)
In the field of parallel kinematics few designs use highly deformable elements to obtain the end effector movement. Most compliant mechanisms rely on notches or shape changes to simulate a standard kinematic joint. In this ...
Variable Speed Control In Wells Turbine-Based Oscillating Water Column Devices: Optimum Rotational Speed
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2018)
The effects of climate change and global warming reveal the need to find alternative sources of clean energy. In this sense, wave energy power plants, and in particular Oscillating Water Column (OWC) devices, offer a huge ...
