Combating the covid19 scourge is a prime concern for the human race today. Rapid diagnosis and isolation of virus-exposed persons is critical to limiting illness transmission. Due to the prevalence of public health crises, reaction-based blood tests are the customary approach for identifying covid19. As a result, scientists are testing promising screening methods like deep layered machine learning on chest radiographs. Despite their usefulness, these approaches have large computational costs, rendering them unworkable in practice. This study's main goal is to establish an accurate yet efficient method for covid19 predicting using chest radiography pictures. We utilize and enhance the graph-based family of neural networks to achieve the stated goal. The IsoCore algorithm is trained on a collection of X-ray images separated into four categories: healthy, Covid19, viral pneumonia, and bacterial pneumonia. The IsoCore, which has 5 to 10 times fewer parameters than the other tested designs, attained an overall accuracy of 99.79%. We believe the acquired results are the most ideal in the deep inference domain at this time. This proposed model might be employed by doctors via phones.

This paper provides a brief account of the creation and evolution of the CITTA R&D Unit, which, in the early 2000s, emerged from the SPTA, the Planning Division of FEUP’s Civil Engineering Department (DEC). Attention is given to the birth of the Centre, marked by the convergence of some favourable external and internal conditions, which also shaped its composition, structure, and scientific scope. The CITTA development phase is then characterised. This phase was influenced by the pluriannual evaluation of the FCT in 2008 and, a few years later, by the integration of a large group of researchers from the University of Coimbra, which justified the profound revision of the CITTA’s internal regulations. Finally, the paper addresses the Centre's consolidation phase, emphasising the role and importance of the two last pluriannual FCT evaluations, the relative position of the Centre's publication performance compared to similar centres in Europe, and its strategic plan, conceived around the low-carbon cities paradigm.Author Keywords. civil engineering, Porto Faculty of Engineering, Planning Division.

The formal existence of a specialisation in spatial planning at FEUP dates back 50 years. The present paper aims to contribute to the analysis of this experience, and to some extent of its contributions, by tracing the evolution of the themes of MSc dissertations and PhD thesis. under the scope of the different spatial planning specialisation courses. After a brief contextualisation, which refers to changes in higher education in Portugal and in FEUP, the paper answers two research questions: How did the themes of Master Dissertations and Doctoral Theses in Spatial Planning evolve within this field of specialisation in FEUP? How do the themes in the field of Spatial Planning correlate between themselves? To this end, methodologies of content analysis of metadata, titles, and abstracts (CAMTA) and cluster analysis based on the software VOSviewer were applied. The increasing number of publications and themes, which reflect the consolidation of this field of specialisation, and the permanence of three major research clusters, which are thus a characteristic of the planning approach developed at FEUP, constitute some of the main results of the study.

An ENVI-met-operating methodology is case-studied aiming at contributing to the experience-exchange in ENVI-met’s applied-to-practice operation and providing its developers with feedback. The operating methodology is explained in detail as being applied – in an earlier research partnership with a city council’s urban-projects division – on an actual urban-street-requalification project. Daytime and night-time pedestrian-thermal-comfort impact of different intervention scenarios – differing both in soil-cover types and/or street-trees numbers and arrangements – were assessed and compared during a significant heat-wave event. The results seem to reveal a significant ENVI-met limitation on modelling green pergolas – open-wire-trellis overhang covered with climber plants.

Budgets are important management tools recognized for their help in planning, communication, monitoring the expense performance, and even motivating collaborators. However, recently there has been criticism of the traditional Budgeting Process due to its cumbersomeness, long duration, and eventual diversion of the focus from the day-to-day activities. Thus, improving the Budgeting Process by incorporating Expense component uncertainties is of uttermost importance to accelerate its approval. This paper presents a methodology for companies to assess their budget risk based on their historical Expense data by applying Monte Carlo Simulation and Time Series Bootstrapping Techniques. Besides, some state-of-the-art sensitivity Importance Measures are also implemented to help evaluate the relative importance of the Expense components. The methodology proposed, based on a real case study with data from a major Portuguese retailer, has the advantage of being objective and supported by data, thus not being subject to bias from the management.

Three-phase Induction Motors (TPIM) are popular in industrial applications due to their numerous advantages. However, TPIM has comparatively lower efficiency than modern motor technologies like permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM), synchronous reluctance motor(SynRM), or switched reluctance motor(SRM). The expensive rare earth material and the inability of line starting operation discourage the replacement of TPIM with these modern energy-efficient motors. This research proposes a novel conversion of TPIM into Line Start SynRM (LS-SynRM) to cause a cost-effective and compatible performance solution. The proposed design modifications are carried out on the existing 0.5HP, TPIM rotor and analyzed using finite element (FE) software. The optimum barrier parameters such as barrier end width, barrier position, barrier width, and rib width have been determined through parametric analysis. The considerable effect of barrier dimensions on motor performance is evident from the analysis.

Pedestrian safety is one of the major concerns and pedestrian gap acceptance (PGA) behaviour depends on various characteristics of pedestrians, vehicles, geometry and environment. This study is intended to develop PGA models at various pedestrian crossing locations (mid-blocks and uncontrolled intersections). Video graphic data was collected from four different pedestrian crossing locations and extracted the required data from videos manually. The multiple linear regression (MLR) technique was used to model the pedestrian gap acceptance behaviour by the vehicular gap size accepted by the pedestrians. MLR models reveal that the frequency of attempts significantly affects the PGA behaviour only in the case of mid-blocks whereas the frequency of disturbances significantly affects only in the case of intersections. The statistical results showed that the pedestrian road crossing behaviour depends on the type of crossing location also. The results can be used to analyse the pedestrian safety levels at various crossing locations.

Prostate Cancer (PCa) was first diagnosed in 1853 as cirrhosis of the prostate gland. Silently asymptomatic, PCa is usually diagnosed with Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels. Since the first treatment of an advanced prostatic malignancy with X-rays by Imbert and Imbert in 1904, External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) is now a curative option for localised and locally advanced disease and a palliative option for the metastatic low-volume disease. With the introduction of computers in EBRT and better imaging techniques, volume delineation is still a very time-consuming task. While Deep Learning methods are urged, EBRT systems still rely on manual or semi-automatic segmentation techniques. The U-Net architecture was specially designed for medical image segmentation presenting promising results. This literature review gathers work using U-Net architectures, outlining methods, techniques and obtained outcomes as a potential foundation for an automated segmentation framework for PCa.

For the last few decades, the rapid growth of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies has been seeable. It is expected to keep maturing continuously due to its advantages compared to conventional manufacturing technologies: flexibility, reliability, energy consumption, and material efficiency. This research article addresses the development and production of a stapler using the Material Extrusion AM process. It is intended to show the development steps to redesign an everyday stapler, into an added-value tool, from the selection and fixture of the CAD model and generative design through Fusion 360 to its optimization on nTopology, simulation, and plot of the part in Eiger.
