In recent years, imaging techniques have been adapted to indirectly measure stiffness of biological tissues, with the hope of using this information to aid in detecting and classifying pathological regions. Several methods have been developed to convert a sequence of strain images into a single elasticity image, but most are based on assumptions that limit the local variability of stiffness in the...
Because of its significance for the improvement of the efficiency in crop production, it is of fundamental importance to identify the plant critical periods (which characterize the sensitivity of the plant to the atmospheric elements). Since in the case of some development stages it is not possible to observe them by a simple sight, it is usual to destroy some sampling plants to get the required information...
This paper deals with the development of an experimental workbench to evaluate stator cores of fractional induction motors. The bench is able to evaluate the quality of the stator core in terms of the magnetic material, dimensions as well as manufacture faults like short-circuit between laminations. It is shown the steps to develop the equipment and the first results.
The Technical Debt (TD) metaphor has been used as a way to manage and communicate long-term consequences that some decisions may cause. However the state of the art in TD has not culminated yet in rigorous analysis models for large-scale projects. This work analyses an industrial project, from the perspective of its decisions and related events, so that we can better characterize the existence of...
The paper presents very recent results from a novel continuous, pilot scale microwave treatment process for the continuous treatment of oil contaminated drill cuttings. The requirements of a commercial scale system are outlined, and the necessary scale-up challenges are highlighted. The process has been developed for the remediation of contaminated drill cuttings at source, i.e. on offshore oil platforms...
