2016
The article presents the essence and importance of electronic freight exchange in the functioning of enterprises in the transport-forwarding-logistics sector. The authors present the basic issues related to the e-government, the essence of e-business and ecommerce. Then characterizes the transition process in the transport-forwarding-logistics sector in the context of the functioning of the electronic market. The authors discuss the tools and resources to support electronic business processes in the form of electronic freight exchanges. They present the benefits and costs of the use of such tools in the transport-forwarding-logistics sector on the basis of studies conducted in selected ente…
Estudio bibliométrico sobre la producción científica en educación vial
2012
El objeto fundamental de esta tesis es el de analizar la producción científica de la educación vial a nivel internacional, desde la perspectiva de la denominada bibliometría, en las bases de datos PyscInfo, Medline y Eric. En esta línea de investigación, que se caracteriza por el hecho de aplicar el método científico, se ha llevado a cabo el análisis estadístico de las bases de datos entre los años 1960 y 2008, analizándose la productividad de los autores científicos, la dispersión de las publicaciones científicas y las palabras clave utilizadas, entre otros indicadores. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que la educación vial es un área multidisiciplinar en pleno desarrollo y progresión, c…
The Population Genomics of Anopheles gambiae Species Complex: Progress and Prospects
2021
Anopheles gambiae sensu lato is a species complex containing principal malaria vectors such as An. gambiae sensu stricto, An. coluzzii, and An. arabiensis. Numerous studies have shown dynamic species hybridization among member of this complex makes them an ideal model for studying evolution and speciation as well as for applied vector biology. Applying a population genomics approach to the An. gambiae and An. coluzzii species group has led to a number of important and epidemiologically relevant insights including: (1) organization of genomic divergence into “islands of speciation”; (2) competing models of population origin of An. gambiae and An. Coluzzii; (3) description of asymmetric intro…

PUMP AS TURBINE (PAT) IN INTERMITTENT DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS
2012
A hydraulic model was performed in order to evaluate potential energy recovery resulting by the use of centrifugal pump as turbines (PAT) in the water distribution network characterized by the presence of private tanks. The model integrates the Enhanced Global Gradient Algorithm (EGGA) (Todini [1], Giustolisi et al. [2]), with a pressure driven model (Criminisi et al. [3]) that entails a more realistic representation of the influence of the private tanks filling and emptying process in the network behaviour. The model was applied to real case study: a district metered area in Palermo (Italy). Namely three different scenarios were analyzed and compared with the actual scenario (Scenario 0 - …

The Attentional Demand of Automobile Driving Revisited: Occlusion Distance as a Function of Task- Relevant Event Density in Realistic Driving Scenari…
2016
Objective: We studied the utility of occlusion distance as a function of task-relevant event density in realistic traffic scenarios with self-controlled speed. Background: The visual occlusion technique is an established method for assessing visual demands of driving. However, occlusion time is not a highly informative measure of environmental task-relevant event density in self-paced driving scenarios because it partials out the effects of changes in driving speed. Method: Self-determined occlusion times and distances of 97 drivers with varying backgrounds were analyzed in driving scenarios simulating real Finnish suburban and highway traffic environments with self-determined vehicle speed…
Optimization of Delayed-State Kalman-Filter-based Algorithm via Differential Evolution for Sensorless Control of Induction Motors
2010
This paper proposes the employment of the differential evolution (DE) to offline optimize the covariance matrices of a new reduced delayed-state Kalman-filter (DSKF)-based algorithm which estimates the stator-flux linkage components, in the stationary reference frame, to realize sensorless control of induction motors (IMs). The DSKF-based algorithm uses the derivatives of the stator-flux components as mathematical model and the stator-voltage equations as observation model so that only a vector of four variables has to be offline optimized. Numerical results, carried out using a low-speed training test, show that the proposed DE-based approach is very promising and clearly outperforms a cla…
Un estudio piloto sobre el efecto diferencial de la fatiga por conducción en personas mayores
2011
Hay indicios de que la fatiga, uno de los principales efectos de la conducción prolongada, es más notable en mayores. El presente artículo recoge un estudio sobre el efecto de la conducción prolongada utilizando un simulador, en un grupo de sujetos mayores de 55 años. Los sujetos fueron evaluados médica y psicológicamente antes y después de la prueba de conducción. Se aplicaron las pruebas médicas de tensión arterial, pulso y saturación de oxígeno en sangre y como prueba psicológica, el Driver-Test. Resultados preliminares indican que existe una disminución del rendimiento después de conducir, afectando especialmente a la capacidad de toma de decisiones. Some evidences show that fatigue, th…
Bearing fault detection based on time-frequency representations of vibration signals
2015
To prevent failures of a rolling bearing in the gearbox drive system, acceleration sensors are used to detect fault-related signals of the bearing. It is a big challenge to observe and identify signals caused by bearing defects in the time domain or the frequency spectrum by a conventional Fourier analysis. The time-frequency representation of the fault-related signals implemented by the windowed Fourier transform is studied in this work. It is shown that the fault characteristic frequencies can be clearly identified in the time-frequency spectrum if a fault occurs in the bearing of the gearbox at different speeds. Otherwise, the shaft frequency and its multiples are the main harmonics in t…
