Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is primarily involved in back pain, a morbidity that strongly affects the quality of life of individuals nowadays. Lumbar IVDs undergo stressful mechanical loads while being the largest ...
Respiratory sounds (RS) are produced by turbulent airflows through the airways and are inhomogeneously transmitted through different media to the chest surface, where they can be recorded in a non-invasive way. Due to ...
L'anàlisi de moviment i seguiment d'objectes ha estat un dels pricipals focus d'atenció en la comunitat de visió per computador durant les dues darreres dècades. L'interès per aquesta àrea de recerca resideix en el seu ...
Cardiac myocytes constitute a unique physiological system. They are the muscle cells that build up heart tissue and provide the force to pump blood by synchronously contracting at every beat. This contraction is regulated ...
Multiview data is defined as data for whose samples there exist several different data views, i.e. different data matrices obtained through different experiments, methods or situations. Multiview dimensionality reduction ...
Extraction of neuromuscular information is an important and extensively researched issue in biomedical engineering. lnformation on muscle control can be used in numerous human-machine interfaces and control applications, ...
Tissue engineering aims to replace restore or help regeneration of injured tissue or organ with scaffolds that mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM). The design of such scaffolds requires deeper understanding of the ...
Analytical disciplines are an important field for the progress of healthcare and medicine. In fact the technologies related to analytical disciplines may reveal important information for early diagnosis, treatment of ...
Bone is among the most frequently transplanted tissues in the body. In Europe, about one million patients encounter a surgical bone reconstruction annually. The worldwide market of bone replacement materials is currently ...
Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are currently the materials chosen for many dental applications, mainly due to their optimum biocompatibility and excellent mechanical properties. Despite the success rates of dental implants, ...
Model-based Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) is a major theoretical topic that is becoming increasingly to one of the most significant key features to increase safety and reliability of complex automatic control systems. ...
Walking impairment after spinal cord injury leads to a decreased quality of life, other serious health conditions, and substantial health care costs. Consequently, gait restoration is a high priority among spinal cord-injured ...
(English) The introduction of autonomous vehicles in intralogistics has significantly increased in recent times. However, in the industry, a single autonomous vehicle is often not used, but several of them are needed to ...
The human body is an over-actuated multibody system, as each joint degree of freedom can be controlled by more than one muscle. Usually, optimization techniques are used to solve the muscle force sharing problem, that is, ...
En els darrers anys s'han dedicat grans esforços a l'estudi del control de la comunicació entre Elements de Procés de la Informació (per exemple, els computadors), principalment en els aspectes relacionats amb el suport ...
Fuzzy Inductive Reasoning (FIR) is a modelling and simulation methodology capable of generating a qualitative input-output model of a system from real-valued trajectories of its physical variables. The functioning basis ...
El análisis cuantitativo y la interpretación de las señales electroencefalográficas (EEG) permiten la comprensión de la función cerebral, ayudando al diagnóstico de estados disfuncionales. Sin embargo, es conocido que ...
This PhD thesis presents a methodology to detect, estimate and localize water leaks (with the main focus in the localization problem) in water distribution networks using hydraulic models and machine learning techniques. ...
This research is motivated by the benefits that knowledge regarding early development in infants may provide to different fields of science. In particular, early sensorimotor exploration behaviors are studied in the framework ...
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients demonstrate an increased incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) with declining kidney functioning as a consequence of blood potassium ([K+]) homeostasis impairment, which is restored ...
