V2X Messaging with CoAP and EdgeX for Probabilistic Risk-Aware Coordination in ...
Mendes, Bruno; Araújo, Marco; Goes, Adriano; Corujo, Daniel; Oliveira, Arnaldo S. R.This article presents a standards-based architecture for V2X communication using CoAP and EdgeX Foundry. By mapping ETSI ITS messages to CoAP, the system enables efficient risk alerting at the edge. An inference module illustrates the architecture's extensibility, and the simulation confirms responsiveness and scalability under mixed traffic conditions.
Study of the Impact of Cooperative Maneuvers Among Different Types of Vehicles ...
Mendes, Bruno; Goes, Adriano; Araújo, Marco; Corujo, Daniel; Oliveira, Arnaldo S. R.The automotive sector has seen a significant increase in autonomous mobility expenditures throughout the past decade through private-sector investments made by original equipment manufacturers and public research via universities and institutes. However, despite the significant funds invested in enabling technologies, the world is not much closer to self-driving vehicles on its main roads. One of the reasons fo...
Ergo4Workers: A User-Centred App for Tracking Posture and Workload in Healthcar...
Sabino, Inês; Fernandes, Maria do Carmo; Antunes, Ana; Monteny, António; Mendes, Bruno; Caldeira, Carlos; Guimarães, Isabel; Grazina, NidiaHealthcare professionals (namely, occupational therapists) face ergonomic risk factors that may lead to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD). Ergonomic assessments are crucial to mitigate this occupational issue. Wearable devices are a potential solution for such assessments, providing continuous measurement of biomechanical and physiological parameters. Ergo4workers (E4W) is a mobile application desi...
Ergo4Workers
Sabino, Inês; Fernandes, Maria do Carmo; Antunes, Ana; Monteny, António; Mendes, Bruno; Caldeira, Carlos; Guimarães, Isabel; Grazina, NidiaHighlights: What are the main findings? The E4W system is a smartphone app that integrates data from wearable sensors. Three prototypes were developed following the UCD approach. This paper describes the development and usability evaluation of the E4W app. What is the implication of the main finding? It provides insights about posture and workload for occupational therapists. Results evidence an easy-to-use and...
Studying the Effects of Water Content in Breast Microwave Imaging with a Volunteer
Godinho, Daniela M.; Simões, Afonso; Mendes, Bruno; Canastra, Gonçalo; Correia, Inês A.; Saraiva, Joana; Dias, Rodrigo; Conceição, Raquel C.Microwave Imaging (MWI) has been studied for early breast cancer detection in the last few decades. Volunteer and patient studies have recently been performed in academia and industrial environments [1]. Nevertheless, the axillary region, which may be affected by breast cancer, has not been assessed in such studies.
5G network as key-enabler for vehicular platooning
Duarte, Paulo; Soyturk, Mujdat; Robles, Ramiro; Araújo, Marco; Yaman, Berkay; Goes, Adriano; Mendes, Bruno; Javanmardi, Gowhar; Gutiérrez Gaitán, MiguelThe future of goods transportation will rely on increased efficiency, lower risks, and diminished delays through the use of vehicle platoons that benefit from vehicular connectivity using V2X (Vehicle to Everything) applications. This article describes a system that offers the aforementioned vehicular connectivity to platoons, based on AI-enhanced 5G for resource allocation in wireless platoon intra-communicati...
Within- and between-mesocycle variations of well-being measures in top elite ma...
Oliveira, Rafael; Ceylan, Halil İbrahim; Brito, João; Martins, Alexandre; Nalha, Matilde; Mendes, Bruno; Clemente, Filipe ManuelBackground: The aims of this study were to describe the variations of training monotony (TM), training strain (TS), and acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR) through Hooper Index categories (fatigue, stress, DOMS, and sleep quality) and to compare those variations between player status and player positions. Methods: Seventeen male professional soccer players participated in this study. Considering player status, ...
Animal models of colorectal cancer: from spontaneous to genetically engineered ...
Nascimento-Gonçalves, Elisabete; Mendes, Bruno; Silva-Reis, Rita; Faustino-Rocha, Ana Isabel; Gama, Adelina; Oliveira, Paula AlexandraColorectal cancer is one of the most common gastrointestinal malignancies in humans, affecting approximately 1.8 million people worldwide. This disease has a major social impact and high treatment costs. Animal models allow us to understand and follow the colon cancer progression; thus, in vivo studies are essential to improve and discover new ways of prevention and treatment. Dietary natural products have been...
In-season internal and external workload variations between starters and non-st...
Oliveira, Rafael; Vieira, Luiz H. Palucci [UNESP]; Martins, Alexandre; Brito, João Paulo; Nalha, Matilde; Mendes, Bruno; Clemente, Filipe ManuelMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:41:07Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-07-01; Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia; Background and Objectives: Interpretation of the load variations across a period seems important to control the weekly progression or variation of the load, or to identify in-micro-and mesocycle variations. Thus, the aims of this study were twofold: (a) to describ...
Development of a Hardware in the Loop Ad- Hoc Testbed for Cooperative Vehicles ...
Vasconcelos Filho, Ênio; Mendes, Bruno; Santos, Pedro M.; Tovar, EduardoCooperative Cyber-Physical Devices (Co-CPS) are reaching into the most diverse areas and pose new integration challenges. This is particularly true between cooperative autonomous machines, where safety and reliability must often be guaranteed without human presence. Among these scenarios, Cooperative Vehicular Platooning (Co-VP) applications present an exciting promise: improving road occupation, reducing accid...
