On the Selection of Non-Invasive Methods Based on Speech Analysis Oriented to Automatic Alzheimer Disease Diagnosis
(MDPI, 2013-05)
The work presented here is part of a larger study to identify novel technologies and biomarkers for early Alzheimer disease (AD) detection and it focuses on evaluating the suitability of a new approach for early AD diagnosis ...
Identification and Monitoring of Parkinson's Disease Dysgraphia Based on Fractional-Order Derivatives of Online Handwriting
(MDPI, 2018-12-11)
Parkinson's disease dysgraphia affects the majority of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and is the result of handwriting abnormalities mainly caused by motor dysfunctions. Several effective approaches to quantitative PD ...
Inverting Monotonic Nonlinearities by Entropy Maximization
(Public Library Science, 2016-10-25)
This paper proposes a new method for blind inversion of a monotonic nonlinear map applied to a sum of random variables. Such kinds of mixtures of random variables are found in source separation and Wiener system inversion ...
A Component-Based Approach for Securing Indoor Home Care Applications
(MDPI, 2017-01)
eHealth systems have adopted recent advances on sensing technologies together with advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) in order to provide people-centered services that improve the quality of life ...
Techniques for On-Line Diagnosis of Stator Shorted Turns in Induction Motors
(Taylor & Francis, 2006-01)
In low voltage induction motors, the first indication of a stator fault is the appearance of an inter-turn short circuit. For this reason, several attempts to diagnose reliably these short circuits have been made. Although ...
Virtual Sensor for Kinematic Estimation of Flexible Links in Parallel Robots
(MDPI, 2017-09)
The control of flexible link parallel manipulators is still an open area of research, endpoint trajectory tracking being one of the main challenges in this type of robot. The flexibility and deformations of the limbs make ...
Convective storms in closed cyclones in Jupiter: (II) numerical modeling
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
On May 31, 2020 a convective storm appeared in one small cyclone in the South Temperate Belt (STB) of Jupiter. The storm, nicknamed as Clyde's Spot, had an explosive start and quickly diminished in activity in a few days. ...
Adaptive Scalable SVD Unit for Fast Processing of Large LSE Problems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), 2014-06-18)
Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is a key linear algebraic operation in many scientific and engineering applications. In particular, many computational intelligence systems rely on machine learning methods involving high ...
ANN-Based Airflow Control for an Oscillating Water Column Using Surface Elevation Measurements
(MDPI, 2020-01-29)
Oscillating water column (OWC) plants face power generation limitations due to the stalling phenomenon. This behavior can be avoided by an airflow control strategy that can anticipate the incoming peak waves and reduce its ...
Optimization of the 2PRU-1PRS Parallel Manipulator Based on Workspace and Power Consumption Criteria
(MDPI, 2021-08-24)
In the last few years, parallel manipulators are being increasingly studied and used for different applications. The performance of parallel manipulators is very sensitive to the geometric parameters, so it is essential ...
