A new imaging system produces 3-D models of monuments using unmanned aircraft

University of Granada researchers have developed a 3D imaging system that scans 3D models of historical buildings using data obtained from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–an aircraft without a human pilot onboard. This is the first 3D imaging system to combine the use of UAVs, image-based 3D modeling technologies, and virtual representation of models to… Seguir Leyendo A new imaging system produces 3-D models of monuments using unmanned aircraft

Researchers develop a web application for the evaluation of the ecological status of rivers

With just one click, the system provides a list of the macroinvertebrate community that should live in a specific point in any river of the Mediterranean basin, as long as there are no environmental alterations in that point. The list of macroinvertebrates provided by the model is compared against the real list to determine the… Seguir Leyendo Researchers develop a web application for the evaluation of the ecological status of rivers

Scientists develop a software tool for estimating heart disease risk

University of Granada researchers have developed a software tool that makes an accurate estimation of the risk that a person has to suffer a heart disease. In addition, this software tool allows the performance of massive risk estimations, i.e. it helps estimating the risk that a specific population group has of suffering a heart condition.… Seguir Leyendo Scientists develop a software tool for estimating heart disease risk

A new technique identifies corpses by comparing the skull with a picture of the subject alive

This study demonstrates that the reference points currently employed for the analysis of face morphology do not correspond with the skin and soft parts of the subject. The researchers have determined the actual correlations between the reference points on the skull and the reference points on the face of the living subject. This is a… Seguir Leyendo A new technique identifies corpses by comparing the skull with a picture of the subject alive

Consuming fish during pregnancy improves offspring’s cognitive development and prosocial conduct

A Spanish study, conducted by the University of Granada, revealed that infants born to mothers who consumed a considerable amount of fish during pregnancy score higher in verbal intelligence and fine motor skill tests, and present an increased prosocial behavior. Can pregnant women improve their progeny’s intelligence by eating fish? A study recently submitted to… Seguir Leyendo Consuming fish during pregnancy improves offspring’s cognitive development and prosocial conduct

Obese women have higher risk of suffering breast cancer

Obese women develop breast cancer at a younger age than other women. Furthermore, the likelihood of developing breast cancer is much higher in patients with morbid obesity. This is one of the main conclusions drawn in an article recently published in the Spanish journal Nutrición Hospitalaria by the University of Granada research group CTS 367,… Seguir Leyendo Obese women have higher risk of suffering breast cancer
