The call for integrated management of safety and security (IMSS) derives from intensification of digitalisation development and the increased reliance on information communication technologies (ICT) in high-risk industries, such as the chemical and process industry. This development means tightened interconnectedness between industrial automation a...
Collaborative robot operations are standardized since, in consideration of the shared workspace, operators are exposed to possible contacts with moving parts of robots. Collisions with humans can be extremely hazardous: for this reason “safety functions”, based on sensors, actuators and control systems, are adopted. If there is a failure in one of...
From an engineering point of view, the survivability of a system is defined as its ability to continue to operate despite a natural or human-made disturbance; for example a serious mechanical fault, a human error, or a malicious cyber or physical attack. In the context of critical infrastructures, due to their relevance for the public wellness, it...
In the present study, we extend the concept of a functional mathematical index (FMI), introduced in previous publications, for the assessment and prediction of food quality and safety of jujube fruit, a medicinal food widely consumed in Asian countries. In this study the index has been applied to one field-grown jujube fruit harvested at eight stag...
Heart-lung interaction must be analyzed while assisting patients with severe respiratory problems or with heart failure in intensive care unit. Such patients can be assisted by mechanical ventilatory assistance or by thoracic artificial lung. This paper presents an e-Learning environment aiming at teaching the interaction of cardiovascular and lung...
In silico modeling of the cardiovascular system (CVS) can help both in understanding pharmacological or pathophysiological process and in providing information which could not be obtained by means of traditional clinical research methods due to practical or ethical reasons. In this work the numerical CVS was used to study the effect of interaction...
Ready-to-eat meals packed in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and aluminium dishes, supplied to patients in two hospitals in the Campania region (Italy), were studied to evaluate the probable migration of di-n-butylphthalate (DBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) from the packaging into the food. The influence of temperature, storage time and t...
Cardiovascular human simulator can be a useful tool in understanding complex physiopathological process in cardiocirculatory system. It can also be a useful tool in order to investigate the effects of different drugs on hemodynamic parameters. The aim of this work is to test the potentiality of our cardiovascular numerical simulator CARDIOSIM© in r...
In this paper we apply an improved functional mathematical index (FMI), modified from those presented in previous publications, to define the influence of different cooking processes of eight sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) cultivars on composition of six bioactive phenolic compounds (flavonoids). The index allows the evaluation of nutritional, safe...
p> Introduction : Assessment of exposure to the airborne respirable particles (PM10) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) of asphalt manufacturing and road paving workers in the Campania region (Italy).
Materials and Methods : A study was carried out during 2006 and involved 5 firms producing and employing bitumen in road paving activities....
