BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to analyze the relation between body mass index (BMI), Cardiorespiratory Fitness (CRF), and levels of physical activity (PA) from sedentary to very vigorous intensities, measured by accelerometry, in students from a middle and high school. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 111 children and adolescents, age 11 to 18 years. PA was assessed with...

Sentinel-2 spectral configurations, S2-10m and S2-20m, were evaluated for retrieving essential crop biophysical biochemical parameters their effect on the performance of three machine learning regression algorithms (MLRAs) in two African semi-arid sites. The results benchmarked against all bands (S2-All). show that S2-20m was more robust Leaf Area Index (LAI) (RMSEcv: 0.58 m2 m−2, 0.47 m−2), wh...

PURPOSE This study was conducted to identify the preferred transition speed (PTS) between walking and running and the energetically optimal transition speed (ETOS), in runners and nonrunners. METHODS A total of 19 young men were asked to walk on a treadmill at 5 km.h(-1). Speed was then increased by 0.2 km.h(-1) every minute. Subjects were instructed to start running at a particular speed the...

We present a novel movie recommendation system, GRU4RecBE, which extends the GRU4Rec architecture with rich item features extracted by pre-trained BERT model. GRU4RecBE outperforms state-of-the-art session-based models over benchmark MovieLens 1m and 20m datasets.

Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS) have been introduced to give solutions for traffic problems such as traffic accidents and congestions. Assistance of safe driving is one of the major significant area in ITS. On-vehicle and Infrastructure cameras play an important role in many ITS deployments related to assistance for safe driving. Those systems detect vehicle local information by cameras...

A pressão pelo uso do solo, principalmente para expansão agropecuária e ocupação urbana, têm sido os principais obstáculos à preservação das matas ciliares. Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de analisar a composição florística estrutura fitossociológica estrato arbustivo-arbóreo um fragmento mata ciliar na região Baixo Rio São Francisco, no estado Sergipe. O analisado método amostragem...
