Fatigue Monitoring Tool for Airline Operators (FMT)
2017
Abstract A Fatigue Monitoring Tool (FMT) model was constructed for an operational airline in order to manage the fatigue levels of their crews in accordance with Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS) practices. This article describes the implementation of the Fatigue Monitoring Tool model and the airline’s aims to put the recent scientific findings on aviation fatigue into practical use. The model consists of proxy points allotted to various duties and rest periods.

Sensorimotor adaptation of point-to-point arm movements after spaceflight: the role of internal representation of gravity force in trajectory plannin…
2011
International audience; After an exposure to weightlessness, the central nervous system operates under new dynamic and sensory contexts. To find optimal solutions for rapid adaptation, cosmonauts have to decide whether parameters from the world or their body have changed and to estimate their properties. Here, we investigated sensorimotor adaptation after a spaceflight of 10 days. Five cosmonauts performed forward point-to-point arm movements in the sagittal plane 40 days before and 24 and 72 h after the spaceflight. We found that, whereas the shape of hand velocity profiles remained unaffected after the spaceflight, hand path curvature significantly increased 1 day after landing and return…
Understanding the role of saliva in aroma release from wine by using static and dynamic headspace conditions.
2014
The aim of this work was to determine the role of saliva in wine aroma release by using static and dynamic headspace conditions. In the latter conditions, two different sampling points (t = 0 and t = 10 min) corresponding with oral (25.5 °C) and postoral phases (36 °C) were monitored. Both methodologies were applied to reconstituted dearomatized white and red wines with different nonvolatile wine matrix compositions and a synthetic wine (without matrix effect). All of the wines had the same ethanol concentration and were spiked with a mixture of 45 aroma compounds covering a wide range of physicochemical characteristics at typical wine concentrations. Two types of saliva (human and artifici…
Aroma release in the oral cavity after wine intake is influenced by wine matrix composition
2018
The aim of this study has been to investigate if wine matrix composition might influence the interaction between odorants and oral mucosa in the oral cavity during a “wine intake-like” situation. Aroma released after exposing the oral cavity of three individuals to different wines (n = 12) previously spiked with six target aromas was followed by an -in vivo intra-oral SPME approach. Results showed a significant effect of wine matrix composition on the intra-oral aroma release of certain odorants. Among the wine matrix parameters, phenolic compounds showed the largest impact. This effect was dependent on their chemical structure. Some phenolic acids (e.g. hippuric, caffeic) were associated t…
Per la committenza artistica degli arcivescovi iberici della Diocesi di Palermo (1278-1802). L’apporto dell’araldica
2021
Gli arcivescovi di Palermo nel corso dei secoli hanno costantemente espresso un’aulica committenza di arte sacra, molto spesso particolarmente onerosa e prestigiosa per i materiali, i modelli e gli artefici scelti. Si tratta di suppellettili metalliche, manoscritti o libri a stampa su pergamena e carta, parati realizzati in tessuto operato o ricamato, plasticazioni in stucco e arredi sacri in pietre dure, dipinti, insegne vescovili in uso nella cappella privata o nella cattedrale. L'intervento si concentrerà solo sui presuli di origine spagnola, una ventina in tutto, nominati nei secoli in cui la Sicilia gravitava nella sfera di influenza spagnola (1282-1713). The archbishops of Palermo ove…
La experiencia ascética de las viudas de la aristocracia senatorial romana: más allá de la oración
1999
La viuda cristiana senatorial romana presenta unos rasgos bien definidos. Su autonomía personal, su disponibilidad financiera y su inquietud intelectual hacen posible su influencia en el seno de la Iglesia.
Aviation Crew Recovery Experiences on Outstations
2016
Abstract ACMI flight crews spend considerable time away from home on outstations. This study suggests that this long term stay carries its own considerations in regards to rest recovery with practical implications for Fatigue Risk Management as prescribed by ICAO. Four recovery experiences, Work Detachment, Control, Relaxation and Mastery, are identified and correlated with 28 crew behaviours on base. The results indicate improvement considerations for airline management organizing a long term contract with ACMI crews, in particular to increase schedule stability to improve the crew member’s sense of Control.
Musica nelle istituzioni religiose del meridione d’Italia: ipotesi di confronto fra le Cappelle Reali di Napoli e Palermo
2016
Questo articolo offre una panoramica della musicologia urbana nelle istituzioni musicali di Napoli e Palermo tra il XVI e il XVIII secolo, focalizzandosi sulle pratiche musicali e sulla circolazione della musica e dei musicisti all'interno delle rispettive città. In particolare si evidenzia la preminenza delle due Cappelle Reali, i legami con la corte di Madrid e i rapporti dei viceré con l'aristocrazia, nonché l'attività di committenza in territori politicamente complessi. Soprattutto Napoli, nel 'Siglo de Oro', costituì un polo di attrazione per molte personalità innovative, sul piano sia culturale che musicale, anche più importanti di quelle attive nella corte di Madrid. This article pro…
