This paper introduces EIF-SlideWindow, a novel enhancement of the Extended Information Filter (EIF) algorithm for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). Traditional EIF-SLAM, while effective in many scenarios, struggles with inaccuracies in highly non-linear systems or environments characterized by significant non-Gaussian noise. Moreover, the computational complexity of EIF/EKF-SLAM scales with the size...
Obesogens have been identified as a significant factor associated with increasing obesity rates, particularly in developed countries. Substances with obesogenic traits are prevalent in consumer products, including certain pharmaceuticals. Specific classes of pharmaceuticals have been recognized for their ability to induce weight gain, often accompanied by hormonal alterations that can adversely impact male fert...
Obesity is a multifactorial disease considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the most important public health challenges of the 21st century (1). Given its complex etiology, obesity prevention and treatment are very complex. It is, therefore, essential to understand all the drivers and molecular mechanisms associated with this complex disease. This Research Topic builds upon a previous one (2...
This paper reports a work in progress, the training of a Support Vector Machine model to detect faults in an experimental water supply canal. The work took place at the experimental canal of Núcleo de Hidráulica e Controlo de Canais at the Universidade de Évora. The main objective is to identify faults in the water depth sensors and to detect unauthorized water withdrawals using pattern recognition. The prelimi...
Nos últimos anos a Universidade de Évora (UEvora) tem vindo a efetuar uma aposta estratégica no desenvolvimento de um sistema de informação que integre a monitorização e melhoria continuada das componentes académicas e de investigação com as componentes de garantia de qualidade e de gestão. Neste sentido, a UEvora tem desenvolvido, desde 1993, modelos dinâmicos e sistemáticos de (re)organização interna dos seus...
