A new era of pollution requires an important focus on the conservation archaeological sites and monuments. In last years great efforts were required to develop various sensors for different tasks. The fiber Bragg grating (FBG) was one most studied thanks multitude applications surprising performances. An original optic sensor that combines gratings<strong> </strong>with a pH responsive polymer coating monitoring rains critical prestigious monuments is proposed. core consists four...

Since the beginning of COVID-19 outbreak, one main focuses worldwide has been to collect data on cases and deaths in widest collaborative innovation better understand epidemic spread keep its evolution under control. Under an “Open Innovation Science” approach, researchers can contribute producing new scientific knowledge features and, thus, epidemic, by which policymakers have tools adopt optimal containment measures order maximize economic growth minimize social impact. Little focus was...

In this paper, a rigorous theoretical approach, adopted in order to generalize the Vectorial CylindricalHarmonics (VCH) expansion of an inhomogeneous elliptically polarized plane wave, is presented. An application VCH analyze electromagnetic field scattered by infinite circular cylinder The results are obtained using so-called complex-angle formalism reaching superposition Cylindrical-Harmonics. To validate method, Matlab code was implemented. Also, validity methodology confirmed through some...

The interaction of a stratified cylinder with an elliptically inhomogeneous plane wave is introduced and also determined through rigorous theoretical approach. scattered electromagnetic field by multilayered investigated application the generalized Vector Cylinder Harmonics (VCH) expansion. exact mathematical model to represent this scenario considers so-called complex-angle formalism reaching superposition Vectorial Cylindrical-Harmonics T-matrix formulation contemplate multi-scattering...

An analysis of multiple scattering by two Perfect Electric Conducting (PEC) spheres using translation Addition Theorem (AT) for spherical vector wave functions is presented. Specifically, the Cruzan formalism used to represent AT harmonics, which introduces coefficients transformation harmonics from one coordinate another. The adoption these with use PEC in a near zone region makes calculation electric fields very efficient. As an illustration, mathematical formation advanced computational...

Abstract At the molecular level, body is composed, on average, of water for 62%, fat 15%, 17% protein, and 6% minerals. In this work, we propose a heuristic methodology using hydration models as base to realize an automatic noninvasive procedure estimate ad hoc map complex dielectric permittivity generic human tissue in frequency range microwaves based their solid content.

The paper examines the different perceptions of risk associated with anesthesia systems from viewpoint product manufacturer and caregiver. Only little research has been done regard to impact perception on patient safety in anesthesia. role mitigating will be central work. Risk examined as probability negative occurrences based Medical Device Reportable (MDR) events how caregiver perceives manages these risks when delivering Analysis manufacturer's public data performed US market represent...

Optical fibers are elements that mainly used as a means to transmit light. In this paper, fiber optic constituted by core, cladding and Bragg grating in the core center has been studied. A laser beam with Gaussian shape is let propagate through of an intensity-dependent refractive index. fiber, index will reach highest value, focusing beam. This property specific intensity induces positive called self-focusing. integrated inside order control self-focusing phenomenon. Five different...

The paper examines the MDR (Medical Device Reporting) reportable events reported to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from medical device manufacturers caregivers in US market. A review of all MDRs between October 2014 September 2019 is performed. under analysis are related adverse patient events, particular deaths serious injuries. study will provide a trend safety as result five considered years.

Individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome present biomechanical alterations of lower limb kinematics and difficulties in postural control. Taping techniques like McConnell's were adopted to reduce avert extremity injury, especially on the knee joint complex. Although patellar taping appears be an effective tool reducing by stabilizing joint, its immediate effects balance, trunk are still not clear. The assessment taping-induced modifications balance could provide a deeper insight into...

In this paper, a new model to explain the electromagnetic interaction with monodispersed system in sedimentation equilibrium is presented. Our approach based on dispersive as constituted by large number of stratification each characterized constant particle concentration. The between field and stratified material taken into consideration thanks T-matrix approach. concentration these media varies continuity along direction. A host medium constitutes layer, it also assumed be identical for all...

The interplay between an inhomogeneous plane wave and unlimited parallel stratified cylinders is presented. A meticulous theoretical approach employed to show the relative electromagnetic interaction. generalized Vector Cylinder Harmonics (VCH) expansion application used for investigating scattering by a series of cylinders. he commonly named complex-angle formalism in exact mathematical model depict current scenario. This allows obtaining superposition VCH Foldy-Lax Multiple Scattering...
