In the current manufacturing world, role of maintenance has been receiving increasingly more attention while companies understand that maintenance, when well performed, can be a strategic factor to achieve corporate goals. The latest trends leans towards predictive approach, exemplified by Prognosis and Health Management (PHM) Condition-based Maintenance (CBM) techniques. implementation such approaches demands structured architecture boosted through use emergent ICT technologies, namely...
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness, characterized by the loss of notion reality, failing to distinguish it from imaginary. It affects patient in life’s major areas, such as work, interpersonal relationships, or self-care, and usual treatment performed with help anti-psychotic medication, which targets primarily hallucinations, delirium, etc. Other symptoms, decreased emotional expression avolition, require multidisciplinary approach, including psychopharmacology, cognitive training,...
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that alters functioning and can cause hallucinations, disorientation, variety of other symptoms, which results in separation schizophrenics from society. Despite the fact condition has been known about for long time, there still an urgent need research testing to develop better therapies. Virtual reality (VR) had interesting outcomes when used treat illnesses, it gradually emerging as viable technical choice healthcare sector due its immersion, offers more...
The continuous development of graphics hardware is contributing to the creation 3D virtual worlds with high level detail, from models large urban areas, complete infrastructures, such as residential buildings, stadiums, industrial settings or archaeological sites, name just a few. Adding humans avatars adds an extra touch visualization providing enhanced perception spaces, namely adding sense scale, and enabling simulations crowds. Path planning for crowds in meaningful way still open...
Digitalization is transforming the worldwide economy. In such digital transformation human integration in CPS assumes a crucial importance, complemented with some key enabling technologies like IoT, cloud computing, big data and machine learning. this context, user interfaces are used to collect monitor control systems, being required use design ergonomics guidelines, as well expirience, for their deployment industrial enviroments. This paper describes of friendly ergonomic support at...
In this paper we present ASAP - Automated Search with Agents in PubMed, a web-based service aiming to manage and automate scientific literature search the PubMed database. The system allows creation management of web agents, parameterized thematically functionally, that crawl database autonomously periodically, retrieve relevant results according requirements provided by user. results, containing publications list retrieved, are emailed agent owner on weekly basis, during activity period...
Schizophrenia is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, anhedonia and apathy, a chronic mental illness, which still has no cure. It diagnosed in three main groups, namely positive symptoms, negative cognitive affects the patient major areas of life, such as work, interpersonal relationships, or self-care. The usual treatment carried out with help antipsychotic medications, mainly target symptoms but have little effect on schizophrenia. disease that 1 % population, while it not most...
Over time, there has been an increase in research on how to improve emotional state rehabilitation processes, and it is notable that the use of technology had a positive result, with increasing accuracy. Serious Games (SG) for Virtual Reality (VR) are extremely beneficial this regard, haptic devices as tool researchers medical teams popularity. The current study aims conduct initial investigation into vest see if touch can aid conditioning, which may result improved disease phobia...
Serious Games (SG) have a significant positive impact on wide range of purposes. virtual games focused the rehabilitation schizophrenia are able to bring improvements patients who require constant and individualized rehabilitation. Schizophrenia is mental illness that has no cure requires intensive for symptoms relief. Virtual Reality (VR) gained acceptance in medical field variety by virtue its immersiveness versatility. environments can assist this process, seeking contemplate important...
Large virtual worlds, with considerable level of detail are starting to emerge everywhere, from large areas actual cities archaeological detailed reconstructions sites. Populating a world adds an extra touch the visualization these but unfortunately it also brings burden system. Several tasks required when adding animated characters world, such as collision detection, path planning and other AI algorithms, rendering dynamic geometry, amongst others. In here method for efficient scalable...
Heart Rate (HR) measurement is one of the most effective ways to determine whether a person stressed or not. The analysis series HR measurements can help decreased, increased dramatically, remained consistent during that time period. With this in mind, an automatic annotator automatically label sequences, determining these three possible states, ideal solution because it eliminates need for human do manually. This paper presents web-based application that, given .csv file containing...
