We have been focused on the exploitation of limits performance low cost sensors, used in an integrated way, both for classical and geodetic navigation. In this work, navigation Android smartphone's IMU was assessed thoroughly. The raw data from two smartphones, "Xiaomi 8" "Honor Play" were recorded, using different sampling rates, compared with measurements, recorded simultaneously higher grade IMU's. For assessing capabilities smartphones kinematic tests designed. these tests, processed a...

On 15 December 2016, the European Commission (EC) declared provision of Galileo Initial Services (IS). This marked a historical milestone in program, towards reaching its Full Operational Capability. allows users to navigate with performance-accuracy levels either matching or exceeding those obtained other GNSS. Under delegation EC, Union Agency for Space Programme (EUSPA) has assumed role Service Provider. As part this service provision, primary mission Reference Centre (GRC) is provide...

Abstract Society needs responsible leaders and entrepreneurs. CDIO (conceive, design, implement operate) is a framework for engineering education based on outcomes, more than contents, that has been adopted by growing number of educational institutions producing the next generation leaders. In order to support students become entrepreneurs bear other concerns merely technical today's rapid changing world, authors believe syllabus be improved, therefore propose pre requisite useful...

Of the 21 Portuguese teams identified, 10 accepted to participate in study. A total of 164 patients were included with a median 15.5 per team (4-32). all included, 60 (37%) identified as inpatients palliative care units; 59 (36%) by an intrahospital support team; 26 (16%) outpatients; and 19 (12%) at home. The age was 71 years (16-95). Fifty-one percent females. diagnosis cancer 151 (92%) patients. most common colorectal 22 (15%) patients, followed gastric 17 (11%), head neck breast 15...

INEGI developed a process to convert models made by rapid prototyping or conventional techniques into metallic moulds. The main purpose is rapidly obtain prototype tools casting metal ceramic mould produced mixing in variable proportions, particles, liquid binder and catalyst added start sol-gel reaction. This slurry poured the box containing be reproduced. After short period of time mixture acquires rubber consistency. pattern removed from mould, which fired sintered order generate an inert...

Regular monitoring is essential to understand coastal morphodynamics and anthropic as well natural impacts, at different temporal spatial scales. A stereoscopic video-based terrestrial mobile mapping system, three airborne digital photography systems (mounted on a small manned airplane, fixed-wing UAV multi-rotor UAV, respectively) LiDAR were compared in terms of: system features, such range, autonomy, acquisition operating costs; information supplied, its type precision; constraints...

The present paper presents a three-dimensional model that is capable of predicting the pressure drop due to shrinkage. based on fluid flow calculation considering drag force (Darcy term) function fraction solid and external surface resistance move. It considers defects, in form depressions, internal shrinkage defects. By coupling feed flow, solidification for complete methodology enables possibility show dynamic geometry casting feeding system presented. To put evidence difference morphology...
