The technique known as pied de cuve (PdC) serves an inoculation starter and improves the microbial footprint of each wine region. PdC methodology, which translates "bottom deposit" in French, a method to initiate alcoholic fermentation (AF). involves using small volume already fermenting must start AF when added fresh must. There is lack information about chemical sensory impact final wines inoculated with PdC. In this study, we compared three different harvests Muscat Alexandria Must...

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is recognized as an important cause of death and disabilities after accident. The availability a tool for the early diagnosis brain dysfunctions could greatly improve quality life people affected by TBI even prevent deaths. contribution paper process including several methods automatic processing electroencephalography (EEG) data, in order to provide fast reliable TBI. Integrated portable decision support system called EmerEEG, obtained using discriminant...

This paper proposes to use a statistical approach for classifying the contamination level of insulators used in high voltage transmission lines. studied case considers applied on glass chain six elements

In this paper we describe a complete Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system, reader and tag, using the approach of software defined radio (SDR). We use open source GNU development toolkit to implement SDR. The advantage is possibility test RFID applications flexible platform. readers in SDR have already been developed by others researchers, our main contribution implementation an tag accordance with EPC Gen2 standard. system evaluated it shown that works good performance, as example...

Perceived quality has become an important factor in the choice of products by customers. The human perception process involves complex phenomena at a physical and psychological level that enable us to sense the world extract information about it. Because qualitative way humans represent communicate sensations, field sensory perceptions makes extensive use semantics. knowledge-based systems perceived is hence natural. This project focuses on haptics control in industry. In...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has developed rapidly in recent months. In the form of chatbots, texting is becoming easier our everyday lives. The potential for using this technology industry also growing. Small and medium-sized companies, particular, are still underutilizing opportunity to use AI production development as a competitive advantage or sustainability goals. People often neglected introduction new technologies. From socio-technical perspective, employees must be explicitly...

Although Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is recognized as a major public health concern, there currently no efficient method of fast and reliable detection mild TBI at the point need, where injury has occurred. This paper addresses this problem by proposing portable system for emergency diagnosis monitored personalized treatment based on quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) High Definition transcranial Electrical Stimulation (HD-tES). The highlights three innovative elements proposed...

Early detection and diagnosis of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) could reduce significantly the death rate improve quality life people affected if emergency services are equipped with tools for TBI at place accident. This problem is addressed here by proposing a portable decision support system called EmerEEG, which based on Quantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG). The contributions paper proposed concept, architecture diagnosis. By virtue its easily operable mobile system, solution provides...

Spectrum reuse has been proposed as a method to solve frequency bands scarcity. Detection of unused channels in given band is the main problem spectrum. Various methods are literature perform this spectrum sensing. In study, authors apply independent component analysis (ICA) estimate available TV when analogue and digital operation. Each recovered by ICA specific band, then other considered free reuse, that is, absence transmitters channel means there bands. A measurement setup was...

The sense of touch is probably the most complex human sense, because it involves a very large number sensory receptors spread over whole body, and takes at same time full advantage nervous system complexity power. Although this enables us to perceive world around interact with it, also great source variability when comes controlling quality products in manufacturing environment. Indeed, subjectivity preferences, as well level cognitive charge, directly influence performance controller, thus...

The specific attention paid to the quality perceived through senses of costumers when touching a product has led rapid growth in industrial interest for field haptics. Controlling products with such expectations become challenge manufacturers, especially considering current lack generic method standardize control specifications and provide efficient tools, whether manual or automated is considered. This study provides new insight on definition regarding control. Smart systems have proven...

The authors present an efficient method to estimate the performance of turbo codes with soft output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA) iterative decoding via importance sampling (IS). is based on computing a specific error probability all relevant centers. accuracy and viability proposed are demonstrated by two examples. particularly effective at high signal noise ratio (SNR), where Monte Carlo (MC) simulation takes too much time obtain estimative that statistically sound.

Cryptographic keys based on biometrics, besides offering information security and privacy, have the advantage of being strongly linked to user. Three main techniques use biometric data obtain cryptographic keys: key release, generation regeneration. The objectives these schemes are ensure revocability produce with high entropy. In this work, we propose a new technique for secret agreement biometrics. factors used, represented by an iris code, RFID tag password. protocol reconciliation...

Due to its high efficiency, the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm has become a popular choice in computer vision and robotics for registration of point cloud data sets when point-to-point correspondences are unknown. Its generalization articulated structures, although possible through joint optimization all pose parameters, is challenging as it necessary solve non-closed form. It also suffers heavily from local minima problem. A number proposed Articulated ICP (AICP) algorithms...

When estimating the bit error rate (BER) of communications systems using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, importance sampling (IS) may be a powerful method for reducing simulation runtimes. The paper presents an IS technique combined with event in order to evaluate efficiently performance Viterbi decoding used binary nonsymmetric channel and erasure channel. Two biasing approaches are employed, stationary nonstationary models. Comparative results between two models traditional MC methods presented.
