Os arquivos sanatoriais constituem uma importante fonte informativa para o conhecimento da paleoepidemiologia e da história social da tuberculose (TB). O sanatório Carlos Vasconcelos Porto (SCVP), inaugurado em 1918 em S. Brás de Alportel (Algarve), foi a primeira instituição privada em Portugal dedicada ao tratamento da tuberculose pulmonar. Até 1952 os doentes admitidos eram funcionários, exclusivamente do se...
Tese de doutoramento Programa Doutoral em Engenharia Electrónica e de Computadores ; This thesis presents a tentative advancement on walking control of small quadruped and humanoid position controlled robots, addressing the problem of walk generation by combining dynamical systems approach to motor control, insights from neuroethology research on vertebrate motor control and computational neuroscience. Legged ...
This paper describes the Home Networks Project integrated on a final project for a degree in engineering and inserts itself in the wider project “Casa do Futuro”.The first part shows the current approaches/technologies todistribute data within the home. Only binary debits over 10Mbps were considered (minimum speed for a Triple Play household implementation) on this study. The second part of the proj...
Documentary sources refer to leprosy patients in the Portuguese territory since the first century AD, and in the Middle Ages around 70 leprosaria were established. However, prior to 2003 this historical evidence had not been confirmed by archeological findings. The excavation performed in monitoring the rehabilitation done by the Polis program in the area of the Ermida de Santo André (hermitage of Saint Andrew)...
Programa-resumos das III Jornadas Portuguesas de Paleopatologia: a saúde e a doença no passado, realizado em Coimbra, nos dias 2 e 3 de Novembro de 2012
Este trabalho de investigação tem por objetivo monitorizar a satisfação dos profissionais de um Agrupamento de Centros de Saúde (ACES). O seu desenvolvimento envolveu a aplicação do Instrumento de Avaliação da Satisfação Profissional (IASP) a todos os setores profissionais inseridos nos quatro Centros de Saúde que compõem este Agrupamento da Região Centro. Perante este novo modelo organizacional, estruturado at...
Central Pattern Generators are used in several kinds of robot locomotion, from swimming and flying, to bipeds, quadrupeds and hexapods. It is thought that this approach can yield better results in dynamical and natural environments. In this work we expand a previous quadruped locomotion controller and propose a method to couple the step cycle phase onto the locomotor CPG of a quadruped robot, creating a feedbac...
This paper presents a gait multi-objective optimization system that combines bio-inspired Central Patterns Generators (CPGs) and a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm. CPGs are modeled as autonomous differential equations, that generate the necessary limb movement to perform the required walking gait. In order to optimize the walking gait, four conflicting objectives are considered, simultaneously: minimize ...
Robot locomotion has been a major research issue in the last decades. In particular, humanoid robotics has had a major breakthrough. The motivation for this study is that bipedal locomotion is superior to wheeled approaches on real terrain and situations where robots accompany or replace humans. Some examples are, on the development of human assisting device, such as prosthetics, orthotics, and devices for reha...
