The objective of the IMAI Timber Identification and Artificial Intelligence Operational Group (GOIMAI) is to regulate the timber […]
Read moreAn international team of researchers led by experts from the research centre Instituto de Hortofruticultura Subtropical y Mediterránea "La Mayora" (CSIC-Universidad de Málaga) has converted this material into a biodegradable lacquer that acts as an internal coating for food cans. This resin repels water better and adheres more firmly to the metal than those containing biphenol A, better known as BPA, a chemical compound present in many everyday consumer products which is harmful to health.
Read moreResearchers from the University of Malaga have designed a new system that analyses the evolution of patients undergoing treatment. Specifically, it allows for accurate progress data while the patient performs other activities. The frame is cheaper than others on the market, and its functionalities can be extended with addons adapted to each person’s individual needs.
Read moreA research team from the University of Huelva in collaboration with the MilkCORONA initiative has confirmed that infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus modifies the supply of nutrients to infants. Although the alterations caused by the disease in human serum and blood are already known, this is the first study that analyses the elements that vary in the food of newborns, and opens the door to new studies on the possible benefits of including supplements in the diet of lactating women.
Read moreResearchers at the University of Huelva have designed, built and validated a set of sensors distributed throughout the footrests and saddle that brings the vehicle to a halt when they detect that the motorcyclist is no longer present. This invention automatically halts its operation in the event of any type of incident that may occur to the rider and thereby help to prevent road accidents.
Read moreA multidisciplinary team from the University of Huelva, the Miguel Hernández University and the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) has developed a device that uses different sensors integrated in smartphones to instantly detect from the movement of the boat whether it is performing trawling tasks, whether it has docked after stowing its fishing nets or is simply sailing out or back on a working day.
Read moreA research team at the University of Málaga offers a new procedure for analysing materials in different environments. The method consists of merging different types of data obtained from already familiar laser technologies, which increases the accuracy of the results. This method offers a more effective tool for advancement in planetary research, geochemical projects in outdoor environments or studies of submerged shipwrecks.
Read moreA research team at the University of Malaga has created a computer program for patients affected by diseases that prevent any movement to recover their communicative competence. This system does not require any voluntary muscular action, not even blinking, for the machine to interpret what the patient wants to do. Experts have confirmed the system's suitability for sending instant messages.
Read moreResearchers from the Universities of Cadiz (Spain) and University of Aveiro (Portugal) have developed a bioactive and biodegradable packaging, made with cellulose from the paper industry and extracts of mango fruit leaves, that mantains the properties of food longer without the need for chemical additives. This film contains in vitro-tested antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds, as well as a stronger UV light filter that delays food decomposition.
Read moreA research team from the University of Jaén and the University of Alicante has tested a model based on artificial intelligence that determines the truthfulness of information in digital media. Using this tool, both journalists and end users will be able to define the credibility of a text.
Read moreA research team from the University of Jaén is applying a system to recognise misogynist and xenophobic racist comments on Twitter. This technology learns and distinguishes the nuances of a wide range of phrases, words and insults in Spanish. Experts are utilizing this artificial intelligence to detect hate messages on this social network.
Read moreA research team from the University of Almería has designed an automatic prototype of temperature and illuminance control that achieves energy savings with an efficiency of 11%. In addition, it adapts to the activity that the user performs in a specific room. This software is integrated into existing heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting installations and takes advantage of renewable energy devices, if available, to manage energy consumption and reduce costs.
