Can cycling with an E-bike improve fitness? : effect of access to an Electric Assisted Bicycle on cycling distance and cardiopulmonary fitness in ina…
2016
Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Background: The aims of the present study were to assess the effect of an eight-month intervention with access to an Electric assisted bicycle (E-bike) on (1) the amount of E-biking, (2) changes in cardiopulmonary fitness and (3) to assess whether cycled distance was associated with changes in cardiopulmonary fitness, among inactive adults. Methods: Twenty-five inactive Norwegian adults (33 – 57 years of age, 72 % women), were recruited through convenience sampling. Participants were given an E-bike for eight (N = 23) or three (N = 2) months. Socio-demographic characteristics were reported with a questionnaire. Bicycle use was m…
A New Small Drifter for Shallow Water Basins: Application to the Study of Surface Currents in the Muggia Bay (Italy)
2016
A new small drifter prototype for measuring current immediately below the free surface in a water basin is proposed in this paper. The drifter dimensions make it useful for shallow water applications. The drifter transmits its GPS location via GSM phone network. The drifter was used to study the trajectory of the surface current in the Muggia bay, the latter containing the industrial harbor of the city of Trieste (Italy). The analysis has been carried out under a wide variety of wind conditions. As regards the behavior of the drifter, the analysis has shown that it is well suited to detect the water current since its motion is marginally affected by the wind. The study has allowed detecting…

INTEGRATED SURVEY FOR ARCHITECTURAL RESTORATION: A METHODOLOGICAL COMPARISON OF TWO CASE STUDIES
2016
Abstract. A preliminary survey campaign is essential in projects of restoration, urban renewal, rebuilding or promotion of architectural heritage. Today several survey techniques allow full 3D object restitution and modelling that provides a richer description than simple 2D representations. However, the amount of data to collect increases dramatically and a trade-off between efficiency and productivity from one side and assuring accuracy and completeness of the results on the other must be found. Depending on the extent and the complexity of the task, a single technique or a combination of several ones might be employed. Especially when documentation at different scales and with different …
RTK-GPS pozicionēšanas sistēma un tās pielietojums pašbaucošajās automašīnās
2016
2016. gada maijā norisinājās automatizētas braukšanas sacensības GCDC 2016, kurās piedalījās arī Elektronikas un datorzinātņu institūts sadarbojoties ar Latvijas Universitāti. Priekš šīm sacensībām tika gatavota automašīna, kurā, lai tā varētu noteikt savu atrašanās vietu, bija nepieciešams implementēt precīzu pozicionēšanas iekārtu. Darba mērķis ir iepazīties ar GNSS darbības principiem, tai skaitā RTK-GPS, integrēt RTK-GPS iekārtu pašbraucošās automašīnas sistēmā, pārbaudīt tās atbilstību sacensību izvirzītajām prasībām, kā arī salīdzināt šo iekārtu ar citām RTK pozicionēšanas iekārtām. Darba rezultātā tika apskatīti GNSS darbības principi, aplūkota OxTS RT3003 v2 iekārtas specifikācija, …
Valoración de los parámetros inflamatorios como factores de riesgo independiente para supervivencia en los pacientes con cáncer de pulmón no microcít…
2021
Antecedentes: El cáncer de pulmón sigue siendo la causa principal de muerte por cáncer en nuestro medio. En concreto, el cáncer de pulmón no microcítico (CPNM) supone un 80% de los casos y el pronóstico, incluso en enfermedad localmente avanzada sigue siendo pobre, con una supervivencia en torno al 20% en estadio III. Además, la enfermedad localmente avanzada supone un subgrupo heterogéneo, en el que las opciones terapéuticas y la evolución pueden ser muy dispares, y puede incluir tanto la cirugía, como el tratamiento con quimiorradioterapia (QRT), con o sin tratamiento de mantenimiento con inmunoterapia, y el tratamiento paliativo. En este escenario cobra especial importancia la búsqueda d…
Gap acceptance analysis in an urban intersection through a video acquired by an UAV
2014
Purpose of this paper is to apply a methodology previously developed to achieve an accurate measurements of the real traffic condition thought the use of a video acquired by an UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and a probe vehicle equipped with a differential GPS. The used methodology is not invasive and thus, it doesn't influence the driver behavior. The used equipment must not be compared to the traditional techniques of traffic flow but it can be used for particular situations in which the installation of fixed detectors is not economic. In particular, we have analyzed the gap acceptance for an urban intersection between a main road with dual carriageway and two lanes in one direction, that …
Muliggjør GPS et friere og tryggere liv med demens i familien? : pårørende til personer med demens som benytter GPS-teknologi -Erfaringer og utfordri…
2016
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 According to statistics, there will be an increasing number of elderly people and people with dementia in the future. The importance of the relatives are being emphasized as an increasing resource in developing the public health care and caring services in the municipality and many of them contribute with an outstanding effort helping their closest family members. These persons can be important contributors for the person with dementia, in such a way that the person is able to continue with an active and purposeful life in their own home. Welfare technology exists as one of the devices to support that. Based on that it…
Initial results of the Italian project on direct georeferencing in aerial Photogrammetry
2004
The paper describes one of the first outcomes of an Italian national research Project on inertial positioning in photogrammetry. The focus of the paper is on the quality which is attainable from direct photogrammetry in an industrial production context. Even if GPS/IMU-aided photogrammetry is used rather widely, it is still useful to perform rigorous quality assessment of this method, because large and diverse case studies are necessary to prove and quantify the capability of a new methodology. Besides, it is necessary to evaluate such methodology in the ordinary operational conditions, rather than considering data acquired in a dedicated, special context. To fulfil these requirements sever…
