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 ...
(English) Sewerage is a vital infrastructure for society’s day-to-day life. Its maintenance is a priority and current European legislation increases the demand of a proper inspection. Being a complex access and dangerous ...
Los estímulos mecánicos son uno de los factores que afectan a la diferenciación celular en el proceso de regeneración del tejido óseo, por lo tanto, en el desarrollo de andamios para ingeniería de tejidos, se pueden aplicar ...
Skeletal representations are important shape descriptors which encode topological and geometrical properties of shapes and reduce their dimension. Skeletons are used in several fields of science and attract the attention ...
Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is a multidisciplinary research field that aims to gather data regarding people's behavior and their interaction with the environment in order to deliver valuable context-aware information. ...
SAHS (Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome) is recognized to be a serious disorder with high prevalence in the population. The main clinical triad for SAHS is made up of 3 symptoms: apneas and hypopneas, chronic snoring and ...
Chronic skin wounds are a major socioeconomic burden in developed societies, affecting specially elder and diabetic people. It is estimated that 1 to 2% of the population will suffer a chronic wound in their lifetime and, ...
