Apesar da vasta maioria dos portugueses envelhecer nas suas casas, as medidas de promoção um envelhecimento em casa e na comunidade – aging in place continuam a ter uma fraca visibilidade pública quando comparadas com atenção que se atribui soluções institucionais. Constituindo abordagem necessária para saudável, valorização respostas significa responder às necessidades das pessoas mais velhas ...

This paper shows how to stably merge two sequences A and B of sizes m and n, m n, respectively, with O…m ‡ n† assignments, O…m log…n=m ‡ 1†† comparisons and using only a constant amount of additional space. This result matches all known lower bounds and closes an open problem posed by Dudzinski and Dydek in 1981. Our algorithm is based on the unstable algorithm of Mannila and Ukkonen. All techn...

Today, “walkability” is considered a critical component of an aging-friendly neighborhood. This study examined the relationships between neighborhood physical environment, walkability, and activity levels older residents in Singapore. Five neighborhoods notable for their “aging place” strategies were selected site survey. A questionnaire focusing on evaluation walkability was administered to ad...

We develop and evaluate humanoid balance controllers that can recover from unexpected external perturbations of varying magnitudes in arbitrary directions. Balance strategies explored include ankle and hip strategies for in-place balance, as well as single-step, double-step, and multi-step balance recovery. Simulation results are provided for a 30 DOF humanoid.
