Artificial intelligence is currently poised to expand into complex problem spaces, such as medicine, law enforcement, and other high stakes domains. For applications such as decision support to be trustworthy and helpful, the system must account for the individual context and nu…
Esta dissertação surgiu no contexto do mestrado em “Gestão Cultural” da Universidade da Madeira, e propõe como tema: o “Cinema e formação de público: perspectivas sobre a programação alternativa ao circuito comercial na Madeira no início do século XXI”. Durante a redacção foi re…
In this thesis, we show that the conventional workflows for tracking objects in a warehouse can be enhanced by a new Augmented Reality (AR) service. In particular, we have designed a Unity implementation of an AR toolkit for the Microsoft HoloLens based on a “indoor greenhouse” …
An improved method to evaluate Young's modulus of bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofibrils is presented. This estimation takes into account polarisation configurations, nanofibril orientation and tensile deformation axis direction. A range of 79 - 88 GPa has been obtained showing th…
This thesis investigates the wetting of simple liquids using two density functional theory (DFT) models. The first model is a discrete lattice-gas model and the second a continuum DFT model of a hard-sphere reference system with an additional attractive perturbation. The wetting…
Nano Energy System Technology - ‘Nest’ - como projeto de design tem como objetivo uma interpretação meticulosa dos vários projetos de design da exposição Italy: The New Domestic Landscape de 1972, no MOMA em Nova Iorque. Esta exposição e a sua aproximação radical de pensamento o…
