A imagem é um dos suportes dominantes na comunicação contemporânea (Martins, 2021, p. 185). convergência cultural atual faz-se, sobretudo, em torno de imagens digitais (Jenkins, 2006/2009). Nesta premissa, o vídeo tipos que mais destaque alcançam era da e ecrãs (Costa, 2012; Loureiro, 2011; Martins, 2011). Diferentes empresas digital, através diferentes plataformas, utilizam arquiteturas algori...

The number of dismantling sites for buildings has been rapidly increased and these processes are very dangerous. So many research papers have been published addressing the development of a remote controller for the dismantling equipments. In this paper, a novel concept of applying tele-operated device is proposed for the remote control of excavator-like dismantling equipment. As a tele-operated...

Methods Forty two patients referred for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) were prospectively included. All TEE studies were performed with a three-dimensional transesophageal probe. For full-volume images, 4 gated beats were acquired for offline analysis. The cardiac cycle was divided in proto-systole (S1), mid-systole (S2) and tele-systole (S3) and proto-diastole (D1), mid-diastole (D2) a...

A plug-and-play (PaP) architecture to be applied for specification and execution of telecommunication systems functionality is presented. The architecture is based on a theatre metaphor. Plays define the functionality of the system. PaP components are realised by actors playing roles defined by manuscripts. An actor's capabilities define his possibilities for playing various roles. The usabilit...

Timely assessment and intervention for developmental delays is a high priority in child healthcare, yet obtaining access to early care services remains challenge low-and middle-income countries, such as South Africa, which has shortage of healthcare professionals. The outbreak COVID-19 2020 exacerbated these barriers, alternative solutions service delivery are needed. Telehealth holds potential...

AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the diagnostic capacity of tele-cervicography for the detection of cervical neoplasia as an adjunctive test with Papanicolaou (Pap) smears. MATERIAL AND METHODS Pap smear and tele-cervicography were performed on each subject. Histologic results were obtained for all patients. RESULTS Of the 863 females who had a tele-cervigram, 252 (29.2%) had a positive result....

This paper describes a concept for a behaviour-based integration of tele-operator commands into the control system of a mobile robot. The control system presented features different control modes which allow for pure tele-operation, assisted tele-operation, and fully autonomous navigation. It is explained how the tele-operator can influence the robot’s motion at any time and how he can simply a...
