The minimum time search in uncertain domains is a searching task, which appears in real world problems such as natural disasters and sea rescue operations, where a target has to be found, as soon as possible, by a set of sensor-equipped searchers. The automation of this task, where the time to detect the target is critical, can be achieved by new probabilistic techniques that directly minimize ...

Abordaremos los eventos festivos de la nobleza castellana en Baja Edad Media a través su universo sensorial. Durante las celebraciones castellanas bajomedievales, sus asistentes no solo vieron entorno sino que lo oyeron, olieron, tocaron y saborearon, por sentidos participaron construcción un modelo festivo cortesano. Esta propuesta se inscribe el denominado “giro sensorial” ciencias sociales a...

Electronic nose technology has recently been applied to the detection of several plant diseases and pests, with promising results. However, in spite of its numerous advantages, including operational simplicity, non-destructivity, and bulk sampling, drawbacks include a low sensitivity and specificity in comparison with microbiological and molecular methods. A critical review of the use of an ele...

The Ubiquitous Monitoring System (UMS) developed in the framework of Knowledgeable Service Robots for Ageing (KSERA) project is able to trigger unfavourable outdoor and indoor environmental conditions, potentially harmful for patients, especially with chronic respiratory diseases. The authors present a new artificial cognitive tool integrating sensing and decision making for care purposes. Auth...

An evaluation of the capacity of a lyophilized water extract of borage leaves to delay the lipid oxidation process in dry fermented sausages enriched with ω-3 PUFAs has been performed. 340 ppm of lyophilized extract showed an antioxidant capacity equivalent to 200 ppm of a butylhydroxyanisol (BHA) and butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) mixture. Two batches of dry fermented sausages enriched in ω-3 PUFA ...

In this work, the influence of native starter cultures on the microbiological, physicochemical and sensorial characteristics of Milano salami type was studied. Two batches of Milano salami type were produced: Batch A, with the addition of Staphylococcus xylosus U5 and Batch B (control) without the starter culture. The Milano salami type was characterized by an important microbial activity of co...

A mobile robot requires the perception of its local environment for position estimation. Traditional planning methodologies build plans by considering the obstacles position in the environment, and assume that the sensorial system is able to localize the robot. Not all sensorial systems are able to maintain the robot accurately localized at each instant and require a perception planning process...

This research work was based on an experimental concept of functional clothing for children with psychomotor development limitations. No matter the analyzed pathology, all these children need sensorial stimulation because of their psychomotor difficulties, especially at fine motor skills level. The main objective was to develop functional and comfortable clothing with sensorial stimulation elem...

This paper presents the construction of a system composed by inertial sensors and the linkage with a biped robot, our main aim is the obtaining, quantification and analysis of human body posture (in rest or in motion). To achieve this, we have three objectives: 1. Determination and obtaining, of kinematics and dynamic of the body joints, 2. Imitation of body movements (biped robot prototype) 3....

UNLABELLED The cerebellum, traditionally conceived as a controlling organ of motricity, it is today considered an all-important integration center for both sensitivity and coordination of the various phases of the cognitive process. AIM This paper aims at gather and sort literature information on the cerebellums role in the auditory perception. METHODS We have selected animal studies of bot...
