Journal Article
Ramos Romero, C., & Asensio, C. (2019). Asphalt-surface defects detection, based on tyre/road noise analysis and geo-processing. International Congress on Acoustics, 7195-7199. https://doi.org/10.18154/RWTH-CONV-238915

A new approach to detect different asphalt defectology based on tyre/road noise analysis by Machine Learning algorithms is proposed. In this way, a probe of concept was carried out to exploit the acoustic signal generated by the tyre-asphalt interact...

Assessing the potential of environmental DNA metabarcoding for monitoring Neotropical mammals : a case study in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest, Brazil (2019)
Other
Sales, N., Da Cruz Kaizer, M., Coscia, I., Perkins, J., Highlands, A., Boubli, J., …McDevitt, A. (2019). Assessing the potential of environmental DNA metabarcoding for monitoring Neotropical mammals : a case study in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest, Brazil

The application of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding as a biomonitoring tool has greatly increased in the last decade. However, most studies have focused on aquatic macro-organisms in temperate areas (e.g., fishes). We apply eDNA metabarcoding t...

Automatic recognition of feeding and non-nutritive feeding behaviour in pigs using deep learning (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Alameer, A., Dalton, H., & Kyriazakis, I. (2019). Automatic recognition of feeding and non-nutritive feeding behaviour in pigs using deep learning. . https://doi.org/10.3920/978-90-8686-890-2

Automated vision-based early warning systems have been developed to detect behavioural changes in groups of pigs to monitor their health and welfare status. However, automatic feed detection remains a problem in precision pig farming due to problems...

Towards a shared understanding of the concept of heritage in the European context (2019)
Journal Article
heritage in the European context. https://doi.org/10.3390/heritage2030155

The purpose of this paper is to develop an understanding of commonalities and differences in the concept of cultural heritage in Europe. This was achieved through a comprehensive academic and non-academic literature review focused on different defin...

For arboreal primates, ground use may increase dispersal opportunities, tolerance to habitat change, access to ground-based resources, and resilience to human disturbances, and so has conservation implications. We collated published and unpublished d...
