IMPACT OF CHRONOTHERAPY ON HYPERTENSION MANGEMENT: INVESTIGATION PROTOCOL IN AT...
Assunção, António; Campos, Dina; Matos, César; Rebelo, Ana; Lopes Vaz, PedroIntroduction: Arterial hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular events, such as acute myocardial infarction or stroke. Chronotherapy consists in using daily (circadian) or monthly hormonal rhythms to treat diseases, enhance the effects of medications and minimize iatrogenesis. It is, however, a poorly explored area, although there is evidence that chronotherapy might be useful in the treatmen...
AUTOMOTIVE: a case study on AUTOmatic multiMOdal drowsiness detecTIon for smart...
Esteves, Telma; Pinto, João Ribeiro; Ferreira, Pedro M.; Costa, Pedro Amaro; Rodrigues, Lourenço Abrunhosa; Antunes, Inês; Lopes, Gabriel; gamito, pedroAs technology and artificial intelligence conquer a place under the spotlight in the automotive world, driver drowsiness monitoring systems have sparked much interest as a way to increase safety and avoid sleepiness-related accidents. Such technologies, however, stumble upon the observation that each driver presents a distinct set of behavioral and physiological manifestations of drowsiness, thus rendering its ...
Suicidal behaviour after first-episode psychosis: results from a 1-year longitu...
Coentre, Ricardo; Fonseca, Alexandra; Mendes, Tiago; Rebelo, Ana; Fernandes, Elisabete; Levy, Pedro; Gois, Carlos; Figueira, Maria LuísaBackground: Suicide is one of the main causes of excess of premature death in psychotic patients.

On the role of multimodal learning in the recognition of sign language
Ferreira, Pedro M.; Cardoso, Jaime S.; Rebelo, AnaSign Language Recognition (SLR) has become one of the most important research areas in the field of human computer interaction. SLR systems are meant to automatically translate sign language into text or speech, in order to reduce the communicational gap between deaf and hearing people. The aim of this paper is to exploit multimodal learning techniques for an accurate SLR, making use of data provided by Kinect ...
Optical recognition of music symbols: A comparative study
Rebelo, Ana; Capela, G.; Cardoso, Jaime S.Many musical works produced in the past are still currently available only as original manuscripts or as photocopies. The preservation of these works requires their digitalization and transformation into a machine-readable format. However, and despite the many research activities on optical music recognition (OMR), the results for handwritten musical scores are far from ideal. Each of the proposed methods lays ...
