EUIPO Boards of Appeal in the Light of the Principle of Fair Trial

2022

The EUIPO’s Boards of Appeal are called upon to decide on appeals against decisions by the bodies of ‘first instance’. However, their judicial function has always been denied. Conversely, the essay tends to place the Boards of Appeal of the EUIPO in any case within the concept of ‘court’, as defined by the ECtHR, within the framework of Article 6 ECtHR, because it assesses their independence, impartiality, and in general the guarantees required by the ‘fair trial’, until concluding that it is a paradigmatic model in the overall administration and judicial system. EUIPO Boards of Appeal, European Court of Human Rights, Court of Justice of the Eurpean Union, EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, …

Early-stage thermal performance design of thermo-active walls implemented in underground infrastructures

2022

Abstract Energy geostructures (EGs) represent an innovative technology in the sustainable energy agenda and are useful for satisfying the energy needs of the built environment. They are usually involving geostructures such as piles, walls, tunnels, shafts, and sewers. The application of such technology to infrastructure projects may have considerable thermal potential because of the large surfaces that can be thermally activated. This study focuses on thermo-active walls (energy walls, EWs), which are retaining structures used to sustain the sides of excavations. Key features related to their thermal design are examined, and a design methodology is proposed. The heat-exchange modes involvin…

ECONOMIC-STATISTICAL DESIGN APPROACH FOR A VSSI X-BAR CHART CONSIDERING TAGUCHI LOSS FUNCTION AND RANDOM PROCESS SHIFTS

2014

Economic design approaches of control charts are commonly based on the assumption that various cost parameters values and the occurrence risk of assignable causes have to be a priori known with precision. However, in real operative contexts, such parameters can be really difficult to accurately estimate, especially considering costs arising from out-of-control conditions of the process. As consequence, pure economic design approaches can involve chart schemes with low statistical performance. To overcome such limitation, it is herein proposed a multi-objective economic-statistical design approach for an adaptive X-bar chart. In particular, such approach aims at the minimization of both the…

Analysis of the Motor Vehicles Manufacturing Sector in Cataluña: Implementation with Radar Charts

2013

The representation of the average periods of maturation in the axes of a radial chart allows us to know the financial position reached by companies at the end of an economic year or in a certain period. The angular indicators obtained from the application of the cosine and sine theorems, according to plane geometry principles verify the deduction obtained from the observation of the radial chart and establish whether the result of each management areas displayed offers liquidez to the developed trading activity, or it is the financial positions regardless trading activity the ones which verifies the displayed financial position in the radial chart. The indicated ratio explains why companies…

Towards 100 % recycling of reclaimed asphalt in road surface courses: binder design methodology and case studies

2016

Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) has shown great potential to be reused in new asphalt mixtures, however its incorporation in top asphalt pavement layers is still very limited (10e30%). In fact, despite the advan- tages that its use implies, RA content in road pavement surface courses is still restricted in most countries due to mainly legislation limitations, but also some technical issues. This paper aims at being a step further to improve the latter by providing a methodology that allows producing fundamental inputs for confidently performing mix design of asphalt mixtures incorporating up to 100% RA. The methodology consists in an advanced preliminary binder's blend design that can be used with a…

OPTIMIZATION OF GREEN-BUILDING DESIGN PROCESSES - CASE STUDY

2016

The development of a green-building project following a specific reference standard such as LEED, brings new conditions and restrains for all subjects involved in the process. Such changes affect technicians, owners, bureaucracy and also the management tasks either during design or construction phases.  Within this scope, project management plays a key role for the optimization of the design-project development. This research analyzes the design process of a single case-study project from the project management perspective, taking into consideration all the activities that negatively affected the project design development. The project selected for the scope of the research is a new school …

La transparencia en la Unión Europea

2012

Este estudio versa sobre la formación histórica y vigencia del marco jurídico europeo, en materia de transparencia. Se centra en el derecho de la Unión Europea, por constituir un referente básico de los Estados miembros, en cuanto a la influencia en los ordenamientos jurídicos internos de los mismos. El estudio comprende los Tratados y el derecho derivado, junto a otros actos relacionados con la materia que nos ocupa, durante el periodo de vigencia de cada Tratado, con referencias a la jurisprudencia comunitaria. Además, los estudios sobre la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea y los Códigos de Buena Conducta Administrativa, efectuados por separado, a efectos de mayor cl…
