A touchless gestural system for extended information access within a campus
2017
In the last two decades, we have witnessed a growing spread of touchless interfaces, facilitated by higher performances of computational systems, as well as the increased availability of cheaper sensors and devices. Putting the focus on gestural input, several researchers and designers used Kinect-like devices to implement touchless gestural interfaces. The latter extends the possible deployments and usage of public interactive displays. For example, wall-sized displays may become interactive even if they are unreachable by touch. Moreover, billboard-sized displays may be placed in safe cases to avoid vandalism, while still maintaining their interactivity. Finally, people with temporary or …
Identification of differential risk hotspots for collision and vehicle type in a directed linear network
2019
Traffic accidents can take place in very different ways and involve a substantially distinct number and types of vehicles. Thus, it is of interest to know which parts of a road structure present an overrepresentation of a specific type of traffic accident, specially for some typologies of collisions and vehicles that tend to trigger more severe consequences for the users being involved. In this study, a spatial approach is followed to estimate the risk that different types of collisions and vehicles present in the central area of Valencia (Spain), considering the accidents observed in this city during the period 2014-2017. A directed spatial linear network representing the non-pedestrian ro…

Sleep assessment devices: types, market analysis, and a critical view on accuracy and validation
2019
[EN] Introduction: Sleep assessment devices are essential for the detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of sleep disorders. This paper provides a state-of-the-art review and comparison of sleep assessment devices and a market analysis. Areas covered: Hardware devices are classified into contact and contactless devices. For each group, the underlying technologies are presented, paying special attention to their limitations. A systematic literature review has been carried out by comparing the most important validation studies of sleep tracking devices in terms of sensitivity and specificity. A market analysis has also been carried out in order to list the most used, best-selling, and most high…
Las fracciones, habilidades de alumnos de 15 a 16 años
2018
La indagación descrita es parte de un proyecto de investigación cuyo propósito es identificar relaciones existentes entre habilidades que los alumnos, de entre 15 y 18 años de edad, manifiestan al usar fracciones y su desempeño al resolver problemas descriptivos que involucran procesos iterativos de cálculo de parte del complemento de parte. Los resultados expuestos provienen del análisis de las respuestas de 198 alumnos a un cuestionario sobre conocimientos previos de fracciones. El test consta de siete tareas para evaluar tres tipos de habilidades: Representación gráfica, Cálculo con fracciones y Resolución de problemas. El cuestionario se diseñó considerando: a) componentes de estudios p…
Automatic construction of test sets: Practical approach
2005
The problem of symbolic execution and test generation is considered both for sequential and concurrent programs. Practical methods for test construction for the given program path are presented.
Distributed Symbolic Network Quality Assessment for Resource-constrained Devices
2021
After a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is deployed it is subject to significant variations of the quality of its radio links during its lifetime. Knowledge of the condition of the wireless links can be useful to optimize power consumption and increase the reliability of the network. However, resource-constrained nodes may not be able to spare the storage space for network monitoring code. Also, reprogramming deployed nodes can be costly or unfeasible. In this work, we show how an approach based on the exchange of symbolic executable code among nodes enables the assessment of the network status in terms of Packet Reception Rate (PRR) with no extra storage requirements on deployed networks. We…

Fuzzy FMECA analysis of radioactive gas recovery system in the SPES experimental facility
2021
Abstract Selective Production of Exotic Species is an innovative plant for advanced nuclear physic studies. A radioactive beam, generated by using an UCx target-ion source system, is ionized, selected and accelerated for experimental objects. Very high vacuum conditions and appropriate safety systems to storage exhaust gases are required to avoid radiological risk for operators and people. In this paper, Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis of a preliminary design of high activity gas recovery system is performed by using a modified Fuzzy Risk Priority Number to rank the most critical components in terms of failures and human errors. Comparisons between fuzzy approach and classic…
Depression Assessment by Fusing High and Low Level Features from Audio, Video, and Text
2016
International audience; Depression is a major cause of disability world-wide. The present paper reports on the results of our participation to the depression sub-challenge of the sixth Audio/Visual Emotion Challenge (AVEC 2016), which was designed to compare feature modalities ( audio, visual, interview transcript-based) in gender-based and gender-independent modes using a variety of classification algorithms. In our approach, both high and low level features were assessed in each modality. Audio features were extracted from the low-level descriptors provided by the challenge organizers. Several visual features were extracted and assessed including dynamic characteristics of facial elements…
