13. Alternative class III distributed polysomnography system
Abstract Introduction Impairment of sleep quality directly increases the risk of heart attack, obesity, and stroke, among other conditions, which makes polysomnography (PSG) an important public health tool. However, the inherent problems with PSG render the correct diagnosis of sleep diseases a difficult task. As a novel alternative to the class II PSG sys

14. ASSEMBLY OF A REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT OF LOW COST APPLIED TO AGRICULTURE
ABSTRACT: The remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) have great applicability in agriculture. Although it is a technology that has been developed for many years, in the field of agriculture it passed unnoticed for a long time. The high cost of acquisition is still a limiting factor for small and medium-sized farmers. In this way, this study had as objective to deve

15. Design of Ground Penetrating Radar Antenna for Detecting Soil Contamination at L-band Frequencies
Abstract Maintenance of oil pipelines is an issue of great concern for oil companies. Soil contamination is caused by oil leaks from underground pipelines. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a rapid and relatively inexpensive technique used for locating and characterizing soil contaminated sites without producing fractures and causing further migration of con

16. Reconstruction of gait biomechanical parameters using cyclograms and artificial neural networks
Abstract Introduction Historically, assessing the quality of human gait has been a difficult process. Advanced studies can be conducted using modern 3D systems. However, due to their high cost, usage of these 3D systems is still restricted to research environments. 2D systems offer simpler and more affordable solutions. Methods In this study, the gait of 4

22. In vitro evaluation of a closed-loop feedback system for dopamine concentration control
Introduction It is well known that Parkinson’s disease is related to a deficit of dopamine (DA) in the region of the brain called the corpus striatum. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the possibility of in vitro closed-loop control of the DA concentration levels. Methods By applying the electrochemical technique of fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV
