Development of a Biomechanical Device for Parameter Quantification Associated w...
Oliveira, Natacha; Carvalho, Filipe; Laíns, Jorge; Rasteiro, Deolinda; Roseiro, Luís ManuelThe "sit-to-stand" (STS) movement is essential during activities of daily living (ADL). In individuals with physical-motor diseases, its execution and repetition increases activity levels, which is crucial for a good motor rehabilitation process and daily training. Interestingly, there are no sit-to-stand devices that allow a quantitative assessment of the key variables that happen during STS, and there is a ne...
Biomechanical Device for Measurement of Adductors Strength and Aid in Self-Cath...
Cruz, Maria; Maranha, Vítor; Moita, Fernando; Cruz, Nuno; Rasteiro, Deolinda; Carvalho, Filipe; Laíns, Jorge; Roseiro, LuísIntermittent vesical self-catheterisation is a legitimate and safe technique that has been reported since the 1970s as a solution for the treatment and prevention of vesical urinary complications resulting from spinal cord injury. This practice, using clean technology, has been asserting itself as one of the best alternatives for people with neurogenic bladder. However, adherence is not complete due to some bar...
Hierarchical brain tumour segmentation using extremely randomized trees
Pinto, Adriano; Pereira, Sérgio; Rasteiro, Deolinda; Silva, Carlos A.Gliomas are the most common and aggressive primary brain tumours, with a short-life expectancy in their highest grade. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the most common imaging technique to assess brain tumours. However, performing manual segmentation is a difficult and tedious task, mainly due to the large amount of information to be analysed. Therefore, there is a need for automatic and robust segmentation method...
Scheduling the repair of aircraft components - a case study
Bourne, David; Rasteiro, Deolinda; Santos, Jorge; Avelino, Catarina Pina; Ferreira, FátimaIn aircraft components maintenance shops, components are distributed amongst repair groups and their respective technicians based on the type of repair, on the technicians skills and workload, and on the customer required dates. This distribution planning is typically done in an empirical manner based on the group leader’s past experience. Such a procedure does not provide any performance guarantees, leading fr...

Santos, Jorge; Bourne, David; Avelino, Catarina; Rasteiro, Deolinda; Ferreira, FatimaTAP Maintenance & Engineering (TAP M&E) is responsible for the maintenance and repair of aircraft components. Components with and without Customer Required Dates (CRDs) are distributed among TAP M&E groups and their respective technicians based on the type of repair and on the technicians skills and workload. This procedure is currently done in an empirical manner based on the group leader’s past experience. Th...
