Physiological Monitoring Systems for Fatigue Detection Within Firefighters: A B...

Firefighters fatigue can negatively impact safety, production, and health. During firefighting, the risks are extreme, and firefighters health status is commonly neglected. A wearable sensor capable of predicting fatigue levels would have a substantial positive impact on the health and organisation of the teams. This review aims to collect information regards usage conditions and the development of wearable sen...

Comparison of machine learning strategies for infrared thermography of skin cancer

Objective: The aim of this work was to explore the potential of infrared thermal imaging as an aiding tool for the diagnosis of skin cancer lesions, using artificial intelligence methods. Methods: Thermal parameters of skin tumours were retrieved from thermograms and used as input features for two machine learning based strategies: ensemble learning and deep learning. Results: The deep learning strategy outperf...

Impact of the architecture of dye sensitized solar cell-powered electrochromic ...

The functional layers arrangement in a dye sensitized solar cell electrochromic device (DSSC-EC) on the energy conversion efficiency and on the ability to change the color is studied. The highest power conversion efficiency of ca. 7% and good color change in closed circuit conditions was observed with electrochromic WO3 deposited on the counter-electrode of the DSSC. When WO3 layer was applied over the photoano...

Salt content in pre-packaged foods available in Portuguese market

Salt intake above World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation level (5 g/day) is associated with harmful health effects such as an increased risk to hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, which are the principal cause of death worldwide. Public health strategies to meet WHO targets include monitoring salt content in food, improvement of food labelling and reformulation of products. This study aimed to col...

Development of hermetic glass frit encapsulation for perovskite solar cells

A hermetic laser-assisted glass frit encapsulation, at a process temperature of 120 degrees C, was developed for perovskite solar cell application. The hermeticity and long-term stability of the sealing was examined based on standard tests for photovoltaic (PV) applications. Encapsulations using fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO)-coated glass substrates displayed 8.93 x 10(-8) atm center dot cm(3) center dot s(-1) ...

Dimethylaminoparthenolide reduces the incidence of dysplasia and ameliorates a ...

The nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappa B) has been implicated in the progression of cancers induced by high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV). In cancer patients, NF-kappa B is also thought to drive a chronic systemic inflammatory status, leading to cachexia. This study addressed the ability of dimethylaminoparthenolide (DMAPT), a water-soluble NF-kappa B inhibitor, to bloc...
