Validation of a methodology for post-construction Energy Yield Assessment of an...
Costa, M.; Rocha, T.; Mendonça, J.; Pilão, R.; Pinto, P.The uncertainty associated with the prospective Energy Yield Assessment (EYA) of a wind farm may be reduced by re estimating the energy yield after it enters normal operation. This study aims to validate a simple methodology for conducting post-construction EYA of an operational wind farm. The proposed methodology derives a linear relationship between a historical source of wind speed data and the observed wind...
Evaluation of MCP correlation algorithms applied to wind data series
Moreira, A.; Rocha, T.; Mendonça, J.; Pilão, R.; Pinto, P.(Objectives) This work aimed to develop methodologies for analyzing statistical correlations among wind data series using various Measure-Correlate-Predict (MCP) methods, with the goal of selecting the most suitable method for extrapolating long-term data with minimal associated uncertainty. Furthermore, the study intends to investigate how the concurrent period used to build the correlation can affect the perf...
Evaluation of MCP Correlation Algorithms Applied to Wind Data Series
Moreira, A.; Rocha, T.; Mendonça, J.; Pilão, R.; Pinto, P.This work aimed to develop methodologies for analysing statistical correlations among wind data series using various Measure-Correlate-Predict (MCP) methods, with the goal of selecting the most suitable method for extrapolating long-term data with minimal associated uncertainty. It was analysed the minimum time required for a wind measurement campaign when applying this methodology. Fifteen local wind measureme...
Use of dirty plastic waste as precursors for activated carbon production – a co...
Cansado, I.P.P.; Mourão, P.A.M.; Nabais, J.M.V.; Tita, B.; Batista, T.; Rocha, T.; Borges, C.; Matos, G.The production of activated carbons (ACs) from dirty plastic wastes derived from the mechanical/biological treatment of urban solid wastes, disposable plastics and plastics used in agriculture is reported. The use of these precursors is innovative and contributes to the circular economy by the valorization of dirty plastics that are usually disposed in landfills. ACs were produced by physical activation, with a...
Crowdsourcing-based fingerprinting for indoor location in multi-storey buildings
Santos, R.; Leonardo, R.; Barandas, M.; Moreira, D.; Rocha, T.; Alves, P.; Oliveira, J.; Gamboa, H.The number of available indoor location solutions has been growing, however with insufficient precision, high implementation costs or scalability limitations. As fingerprinting-based methods rely on ubiquitous information in buildings, the need for additional infrastructure is discarded. Still, the timeconsuming manual process to acquire fingerprints limits their applicability in most scenarios. This paper prop...
Wearables beyond borders: A case study of barriers to gait assessment in low-re...
Godfrey, A.; Aranda, C.; Hussain, A.; Barreto, M.; Rocha, T.; Vitorio, R. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2020-12-10T20:01:01Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-07-01; Royal Academy of Engineering (RAoE); Currently, there are major EU-based projects to better utilise wearables as useful diagnostic aids/tools in clinical settings as well for deployment in the home to capture ageing processes. To date, there has been little investigation of the translation of those tool...
Ecotoxicological assessment of the anticancer drug cisplatin in the polychaete ...
Fonseca, T. G. [UNESP]; Morais, M. B.; Rocha, T.; Abessa, D. M.S. [UNESP]; Aureliano, M.; Bebianno, M. J.Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:06:59Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-01-01; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq); Anticancer drugs are designed to inhibit tumor cell proliferation by interacting with DNA and altering cellular growth factors. When released into the waterbodies of municipal and hospital effluents these pharmaceutical compounds may ...
Validation of a similarity measurement method for clustering cardiac signals
Kianimajd, A.; Graca Ruano, Maria; Carvalho, P.; Henriques, J.; Rocha, T.; Paredes, S.Development of personalized cardiovascular management systems involves automatic identification of the current data as normal or pathological; considering cardiac data as time-series, the illness identification may be performed by seeking similarity between the current patient's time-series data and a reference signal and then proceeding to illness stratification (clustering). Seven of the most common methods o...

Aureliano, M.; Bebianno, Maria João; Abessa, D. M. S.; Rocha, T.; FONSECA, TAINÁAnticancer drugs are designed to inhibit tumor cell proliferation by interacting with DNA and altering cellular growth factors. When released into the waterbodies of municipal and hospital effluents these pharmaceutical compounds may pose a risk to non-target aquatic organisms, due to their mode of action (cytotoxic, genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic). The present study aimed to assess the ecotoxicological p...
Comparison of different methods of measuring similarity in physiologic time series
Kianimajd, A.; Ruano, M G; Carvalho, P.; Henriques, J.; Rocha, T.; Paredes, S.; Ruano, AntonioSearching for similarity between time series plays an important role when large amounts of information need to be clustered to integrate intelligent supported personal health care diagnosis systems. The performance of classification, clustering and disease prediction are influenced by the prior stage where similarity between time series is performed. Physiologic signals vary even within the same patient, so an ...
