A worldwide test of the predictive validity of ideal partner preference matching
Eastwick, P. W.; Sparks, J.; Finkel, E. J.; Meza, E. M.; Adamkovič, M.; Adu, P.; Ai, T.; Akintola, A. A.; Al-Shawaf, L.; Apriliawati, D.; Arriaga, P.Ideal partner preferences (i.e., ratings of the desirability of attributes like attractiveness or intelligence) are the source of numerous foundational findings in the interdisciplinary literature on human mating. Recently, research on the predictive validity of ideal partner preference matching (i.e., Do people positively evaluate partners who match vs. mismatch their ideals?) has become mired in several probl...
A flexible, low-cost and algorithm-independent calibrator for automated blood p...
Pereira, J. M. C. D.; Ribeiro, G.; Postolache, O.Arterial hypertension is one of the most important public health problems, especially in developed countries. The quality and calibration of blood pressure (BP) equipment used for non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement are essential to obtain accurate data that support correct medical diagnostics. This paper includes the hardware and software description of a flexible, low-cost and algorithm-independent...
A new intelligent approach for automatic stress level assessment based on multi...
Ribeiro, G.; Postolache, O.; Martin, F. F.Stress is a natural feeling of not being able to cope with specific demands and events, and it may even worsen a person’s health, especially in chronic disease patients. Stress questionnaires are inefficient and time-consuming. Several models for stress estimation are based on facial analysis, voice recognition, thermography, electrocardiography (ECG), and photoplethysmography (PPG), but they are not practical ...
A novel AI approach for assessing stress levels in patients with type 2 diabete...
Ribeiro, G.; Monge, J.; Postolache, O.; Pereira, J. M. D.Stress is the inherent sensation of being unable to handle demands and occurrences. If not properly managed, stress can develop into a chronic condition, leading to the onset of additional chronic health issues, such as cardiovascular illnesses and diabetes. Various stress meters have been suggested in the past, along with diverse approaches for its estimation. However, in the case of more serious health issues...
Impact of aromatherapy diffusion on healthcare monitoring
Ribeiro, G.; Postolache, O.Aromatherapy, recognized for its therapeutic benefits in stress reduction and relaxation enhancement, uses heat diffusers to disperse aromatic compounds, creating an environment where the aroma mixes with the vapors. These study aims to categorize aromas based on their effects and contributes to understanding aromatherapy's impacts on healthcare. By systematically exploring the effects of specific aromas on phy...
New approaches to monitoring respiratory activity as part of an intelligent mod...
Ribeiro, G.; Postolache, O.Abnormal breathing patterns have been linked to many diseases and stress-related effect. Visually counting breaths per minute is the gold standard for measuring respiratory rate. In hospital research, most nurses recognize the physiological importance of respiratory rate however its measurement it is not considered mandatory. Current research studies offer viable options for continuous monitoring of respiratory...
AI-based smart sensing and AR for gait rehabilitation assessment
Monge, J.; Raimundo, A.; Ribeiro, G.; Postolache, O.; Santos, J.Health monitoring is crucial in hospitals and rehabilitation centers. Challenges can affect the reliability and accuracy of health data. Human error, patient compliance concerns, time, money, technology, and environmental factors might cause these issues. In order to improve patient care, healthcare providers must address these challenges. We propose a non-intrusive smart sensing system that uses a SensFloor sm...
A transition from a decelerated to an accelerated phase of the universe expansi...
Moraes, P. H.R.S.; Ribeiro, G.; Correa, R. A.C.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T08:45:00Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-07-01; In this work we present cosmological solutions from the simplest non-trivial polynomial function of T in f(R, T) theory of gravity, with R and T standing for the Ricci scalar and trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively. Although such an approach yields a highly non-linear differential equation...
Increasing genetic variability in black oats using gamma irradiation
Silveira, G.; Moliterno, E.; Ribeiro, G.; Costa, P.M.A.; Woyann, L.G.; Tessmann, E.W.; Oliveira, A.C.; Cruz, C.D.The black oat (Avena strigosa Schreb) is commonly used for forage, soil cover, and green manure. Despite its importance, little improvement has been made to this species, leading to high levels of genotypic disuniformity within commercial cultivars. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of different doses of gamma rays [ ^60 Co] applied to black oat seeds on the increase of genetic variabil...
Avaliação da qualidade da ameixa 'Rainha Cláudia verde'. Métodos instrumentais ...
Ferreira, A. O.; Agulheiro-Santos, A. C.; Bernalte-García, M. J.; Ribeiro, G.Rainha Cláudia verde' (Prunnus domestica L. ssp Domestica) é uma variedade de ameixa conhecida como um produto regional típico do Alentejo, com interesse económico e social importante para a região e protegido com a Denominação de Origem Ameixa de Elvas reconhecida pelo decreto nº 49/94 20/01. Com este estudo pretendeu-se identificar quais os atributos sensoriais, que mais influenciam a Avaliação global das a...
