This paper addresses multi-modal person detection and tracking using a 2D SICK Laser Range Finder and a visual camera from a mobile robot in a crowded and cluttered environment. A sequential approach in which the laser ...

Rolling machine elements, such as ball bearings, ball screws, or guiding systems are commonly used in diverse industrial applications. These components typically assume uniform load distribution among the balls or rely on ...

The ropes of an elevator transmit the vibrations from the motor to the elevator car, and consequently have a great influence on comfort. Therefore, it is of major interest to analyse the dynamic behaviour of these elements. ...

Cities are growing and, therefore, the primary needs, such as the energy resources. Hence, managing them in the proper way becomes essential for a sustainable growth. This paper proposes a data-driven tool based on IoT ...

The integrity of dental implant surfaces might be compromised during surgical insertion. Wear and topographical modifications can occur during implant insertion, which can potentially have clinical implications. Accordingly, ...

In this paper, a kinetic model able to predict the evolution of the through-thickness degree of cure of ultraviolet (UV) cured composites has been developed and validated. The kinetic model, which is based on the autocatalytic ...

Four decades (between 1979 and 2018) of the wave energy resource around Iceland are analysed in the present paper via the ERA5 reanalysis, the newest reanalysis of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. ...

Unsolicited email campaigns remain as one of the biggest threats affecting millions of users per day. During the past years several techniques to detect unsolicited emails have been developed. This work provides means to ...

Purpose Despite decades of studies on high-involvement human resource management (HRM) systems, questions remain of whether high-involvement HRM systems can increase the commitment of women. This study aims to contribute ...
