Today the industry depends on various types of three-phase induction machines, requiring operating at variable speeds to perform more complex processes. Therefore, it is vital to monitor their operati…
Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has been widely introduced and developed over the past few years. Nevertheless, the basic WPT configuration using one transmitting (Tx) coil and one receiving …
In this paper, a novel method for the magnetic flux density estimation in the vicinity of multi-circuit overhead transmission lines is proposed. The proposed method is based on a fully connected feed-…
This paper discusses various solutions of energy conversion in medium voltage using power switches in Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology. In particular, a comparative study is focused on four different …
COVID-19 pandemic has affected the population worldwide, evidencing new challenges and opportunities for several kinds of emergent and existing technologies. Social Assistive Robotics could be a poten…
Bike sharing is an important tool to reduce congestion and pollution in urban areas. Electrically Power Assisted Bicycles (EPAC’s) make cycling possible also for sedentary people. Standard EPAC’s are …

The rapid worldwide spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has infected patients around the world in a short space of time. Chest computed tomography (CT) images of patients who are infected with COVID-19 ca…
Epidemic outbreak (COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2) is an exceptional scenario of agri-food supply chain (AFSC) risk at the globalised level which is characterised by logistics' network breakdown (ripple effects…
New tuberculosis vaccines have made substantial progress in the development pipeline. Previous modelling suggests that adolescent/adult mass vaccination may cost-effectively contribute towards achievi…
In a previous work (Huber et al. 2020 Phys. Biol. 17 065010), we discussed virus transmission dynamics modified by a uniform clustering of contacts in the population: close contacts within households …
In 2020, Brazil was the leading country in COVID-19 cases in Latin America, and capital cities were the most severely affected by the outbreak. Climates vary in Brazil due to the territorial extension…
The world was unprepared for the COVID-19 pandemic, and recovery is likely to be a long process. Robots have long been heralded to take on dangerous, dull, and dirty jobs, often in environments that a…
In this teaching-learning column, the use of robotic technology is explored as a possible adjunctive assistant to faculty. Given the advances in technology and the imposed restrictions of the recent C…
The emergence of human pathogens with pandemic potential motivates rapid vaccine development. We explore the role of vaccines in control and eradication of a novel emerging pathogen. We hypothetically…
To compare the effectiveness of hand hygiene using alcohol-based hand sanitiser to soap and water for preventing the transmission of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) and to assess the relationship …
Technological advances in recent years have resulted in the development and implementation of various modalities and techniques enabling medical professionals to remotely diagnose and treat numerous m…
It has become a general practice worldwide to wear a face mask serving as a barrier against the transmission of pathogens. This has prompted us to investigate whether masks could also protect our skin…
