The need of performing immunity tests with the aim of meeting the functional safety requirements is addressed proposing an approach based upon the statistical data processing of test results, which allows to determine the susceptibility threshold of the device under test (DUT) and its safety margin intended as the distance between the actual DUT pe...

The purpose of the paper is to analyse the complez relationship between Intellectual Property (IP) and Pharmaceutical Industry. Chapter 1 introduces the main issues of Intellectual Property, Innovation and Scientific Research. Chapter 2 surveys alternative measures to the protection of IP, such as public subsidies for research and innovation and pu...

This paper shows the main results of a pre-feasibility study commissioned by the European Space Agency (ESA) in the framework of the Earth Explorer Core Mission programme. The analysed mission is called WATS (Water vapour and wind in Atmospheric Troposphere and Stratosphere) and aims to monitor variations and changes in the global atmospheric water...

L’articolo esamina la corruzione amministrativa in una burocrazia strutturata con funzionari a giurisdizioni sovrapposte. L’analisi viene condotta ricorrendo a modelli della domanda e dell’offerta delle prestazioni fornite dai funzionari dietro versamento di tangenti. La diffusione della corruzione ed i possibili equilibri vengono poi esaminati per...

The outputs of SPOrt radiometer present different statistical properties. The determination of the statistics of SPOrt radiometer outputs allows the determination of the maximum likelihood estimator for the best possible estimation of the signals. In the data processing 1/f instrumental noise can be eliminated through the technique of circulant mat...
