Patients’ mobility across borders: A welfare analysis
(Springer Italia, 2014)Welfare systems are designed on geographical and membership boundaries. In terms of access to health care this implies that, as a general rule, only individuals residing in their national territory can obtain health care ... -
An Approach to the Development of an Integrated Real-Time Engine Test System for Agricultural Machines: Conceiving, Implementation, Set-up and First Tests
(Springer, 2020)Two crucial points in the development of an experimental-test system concern specifically the instrument-management subsystem and are: (1) coordinating the acquisitions from the connected instruments and (2) making the ... -
The Response Surface Methodology as a Tool to Evaluate the Effects of Using Diesel-Biodiesel-Bioethanol Blends as Farm Tractor Fuel
(Springer, 2020)The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used here to analyse a large set of experimental data regarding themechanical and environmental performances of an internal combustion engine (ICE) used to power a farm tractor. ... -
Functional traits variation in alpine plants growing on ice holes and alpine belt as a prediction of long-term adaptation to climate change
(Institute of Botany of the Czech Academy of Sciences, 2016)Ice holes are microthermal biotopes occurring at low elevations such as 500 m a.s.l. characterized by azonal vegetation adapted to higher elevation climatic conditions such as the ones at ca 2000 m a.s.l.. This phenomenon ... -

A ranking method for the selection of the interior modes of reduced order resonant system models
(ASME, 2014)Resonant system design and optimization is usually supported by finite element models. Large dimensional models are often needed to achieve the desired accuracy in the representation of the vibrational behaviour at the ... -
Implementing Industry 4.0 in SMEs: A Focus Group Study on Organizational Requirements
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2020)In the past, literature has mainly focused on the technical aspects of Industry 4.0. A detailed analysis of the implementation processes and the related organizational requirements is therefore missing. This chapter aims ... -
Future of manufacturing in Europe. Reshoring in Europe: Overview 2015–2018
(Publications Office of the European Union, 2019)Reshoring – namely the relocation of value chain activities back to the home country or its nearby region – has attracted an increasing interest both among scholars and policymakers. The European Reshoring Monitor is a ... -
Umwelt- und Sozialstandards im mineralischen Rohstoffsektor und die Notwendigkeit, verschiedene Stakeholder an einen Tisch zu bekommen
(Eine Welt Netzwerk Bayern e.V., 2018)Für Unternehmen, die bei der Produktion hohe Ansprüche an Umwelt- und soziale Aspekte stellen, bedeutet der mineralische Rohstoffsektor eine besondere Herausforderung. Dies gilt jedoch nicht nur für die Unternehmen, sondern ... -
Statistical Tools for Quality Management
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2019)Companies are nowadays called to manage increasingly larger and more complex quantities of data. Making good predictions and estimating a possible risky situation in advance is therefore more important than ever. The ... -
In-operation structural modification of planetary gear sets using design optimization methods
(Springer, 2019)Planetary gears are a crucial component in the drives of automation systems and robots. The vibrational behavior of these components can lead to detrimental structural-mechanical effects including fatigue, comfort and ... -
Rap: A new wearable/portable device for extracorporeal blood ultrafiltration
(Springer, 2019)The interest in the design of portable and wearable medical devices is related to both the relevant clinical and social benefits for patients and the potential economic savings for national health services. The development ... -
Parametric eigenvalue analysis for flexible multibody systems
(Springer, 2019)Modal analysis of mechanical systems and structures is a powerful tool for the assessment of vibrational behavior. Dynamical mechanical systems per their intention are used in a vast range of configurations and the vibrational ... -
Data Acquisition Towards Defining a Multimodal Interaction Model for Human-Assistive Robot Communication
(Springer, 2014)We report on the procedures followed in order to acquire a multimodal sensory corpus that will become the primary source of data retrieval, data analysis and testing of mobility assistive robot prototypes in the European ... -
Fabrication technologies for the integration of thin-film electronics into smart textiles
(Woodhead Publishing, 2013)Smart textiles are a key component for sensing physiological parameters close to the human body, supporting and assisting people in daily living. In addition, smart textiles offer potential in technical textiles: they ... -

A Treasure in the Desert? Carbon Stock Estimates for Haloxylon aphyllum in the Northeastern Karakum Desert
(Routledge, 2015)Among the earth’s terrestrial ecosystems, deserts and other dryland ecosystems are the least productive and thus exhibit the lowest vegetation carbon densities, or mass of carbon per area [t C ha-1] (for example, Cao and ... -
Application of a parametric modal analysis approach to flexible-multibody systems
(Springer, 2019)It is widely recognized that modal analysis is an effective tool for the study, modeling, design, control and understanding of mechanical systems. However, its applicability is limited to linear or linearized systems. The ... -
