Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDs) and Re-Emerging Infectious Diseases (REIDs) constitute significant health problems and are becoming of major importance.Up to 75% of EIDs and REIDs have zoonotic origin.Several factors such as the destruction of natural habitats leading humans and animals to live in close proximity, ecological changes due to natu
We present a new vision-based localization system applied to an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with limited sensing and computation capabilities.The traditional EKF-SLAM approaches are usually expensive in terms of execution time; the approach presented in this paper strengthens this method by adopting a trajectory-based schema that reduces th
Artificial electronic synapses or synaptic devices, which are capable of mimicking the functions of biological synapses in the human brain, are considered the basic building blocks for brain-inspired computing.Therefore, we investigated the emulation of synaptic functions in a simple Au nanogap.The synaptic functionality of neuromorphic hardware or
