In the last years, there has been an increasing interest in using technology to promote human-food activities, especially home-cooking. Cooking is one of the most effective ways of fighting the obesity epidemic and stimulating a healthy lifestyle. However, many have been the cooking apps that were designed to leverage healthy eating but not necessarily succeeded. One of the reasons is that there is a dearth of ...
The Portuguese Severe Asthma Registry (Registo de Asma Grave Portugal, RAG) was developed by an open collaborative network of asthma specialists. RAG collects data from adults and pediatric severe asthma patients that despite treatment optimization and adequate management of comorbidities require step 4/5 treatment according to GINA recommendations. In this paper, we describe the development and implementation ...
This paper addresses the problem of reducing the required network load and computational power for the implementation of Set-Valued Observers (SVOs) in Networked Control System (NCS). Event- and self-triggered strategies for NCS, modeled as discrete-time Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems, are studied by showing how the triggering condition can be selected. The methodology provided can be applied to determi...
INTRODUCTION: Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy has revolutionized the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration; however, it is important to monitor actual use of ranibizumab and related treatment outcomes in routine practice. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a retrospective, observational study to monitor the 2-year outcomes following ranibizumab treatment for wet age-related macular degen...
This paper addresses the problem of detecting faults in linear randomized gossip algorithms, where the selection of the dynamics matrix is stochastic. A fault is a disturbance signal injected by an attacker to corrupt the states of the nodes. We propose the use of Set-Valued Observers (SVOs) to detect if the state observations are compatible with the system dynamics for the worst case in a deterministic setting...
This paper addresses the problem of fault detection for linear parameter-varying systems in the presence of measurement noise and exogenous disturbances. The applicability of current methods is limited in the sense that, to increase accuracy, the detection requires a large number of past measurements and the boundedness of the set-valued estimates is only guaranteed for stable systems. In order to widen the cla...
In the context of fault detection and isolation of Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems, a challenging task appears when the dynamics and the available measurements render the model unobservable, which invalidates the use of standard Set-Valued Observers (SVOs). Two results are obtained in this paper, namely: using a left-coprime factorization, one can achieve set-valued estimates with ultimately bounded hype...
Nos últimos anos muito se tem falado da produção dos pequenos frutos em Portugal, nomeadamente da framboesa, sobretudo pelas condições edafoclimáticas para a sua produção e de como se pode produzir frutos de sabor, cor e aroma inigualáveis. A chegada da Drosophila suzukii a Portugal em 2012 (EPPO, European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization, 2012), veio provocar um grande impacto económico na cultu...
