The effect of roasting on the content of flavanols and proanthocyanidins and on the antioxidant activity of cocoa beans was investigated. Cocoa beans were roasted at three temperatures (125, 135 and 145°C), for different times, to reach moisture contents of about 2g100g −1 . Flavanols and proanthocyanidins were determined, and the antioxidant activity was tested by total phenolic index (TPI),...
An extension of the Characteristic Basis Function Method (CBFM) for handling radiating problems involving structures with apertures (slots) is hybridized with a ray tracing based solver to characterize the propagation between a transmitting waveguide antenna and a generic receiver operating at 94 GHz, located in proximity of a human body. Specifically, CBFM is used to estimate the radiation pattern...
Migration is a growing phenomenon in western countries. Several studies report a greater prevalence of psychiatric disorders among migrants. Some studies indicate a interesting relation between such disorders in migrants and their migration history, particularly the process of integration in the host country (Bhugra and Jhons 2005; Morgan et al 2010).To present the Bologna Migration History Questionnaire,...
The reproduction of the movements of a ship by automated platforms, without the use of sensors providing exact data related to the numeric variables involved, is a non-trivial matter. The creation of an artificial vision system that can follow the cadence of said ship, in six axes of freedom, is the goal of this research. Considering that a real time response is a requisite in this case, it was decided...
Influenced by the results obtained in neuroscience and biology, we have introduced a model (AIRM) that, inspired by biological rhythms, adaptively controls a behavior based robotic system (BBRS). The proposed model is implemented by means of an NSP (neuro symbolic processor). Since the NSP can be implemented on FPGA, we can take advantage of a parallel execution of the AIRM model and then an improvement...
In this paper we propose a new approach to active video surveillance intelligence systems based on the integration of artificial neural networks (ANN) and symbolic Artificial Intelligence (AI). In particular, the neurosymbolic hybrid system here presented is formed by virtual neural sensors (WiSARD-like systems) and BDI agents. The coupling of virtual neural sensors with symbolic reasoning for interpreting...
