Wireless sensor networks are untethered infrastructures that easy to deploy and have limited visual impact—a key asset in monitoring heritage buildings of artistic interest. This paper describes one such system deployed Torre Aquila, a medieval tower Trento (Italy). Our contributions range from the hardware graphical front-end. Customized deals efficiently with high-volume vibration data, specially-designed sensors acquire building's deformation. Dedicated software services provide: i) data...
In the field of Structural Health Monitoring, tests and sensing systems are intended as tools providing diagnoses, which allow operator facility to develop an efficient maintenance plan or require extraordinary measures on a structure. The effectiveness these depends directly their capability guide towards most optimal decision for prevailing circumstances, avoiding mistakes wastes resources. Though this is well known, studies only address accuracy information gained from sensors without...
Abstract Operation and maintenance of an infrastructure system rely on information collected its components, which can provide the decision maker with accurate assessment their condition states. However, resources to be invested in data gathering are usually limited observations should based Value Information (VoI). Assessing VoI is computationally intractable for most applications involving sequential decisions, such as long‐term maintenance. In this article, we propose approach integrating...
Abstract Cancer is one of the major causes death worldwide and development multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells principal cause chemotherapy failure. To gain insights into specific mechanisms MDR cell lines, we developed a novel method for combined analysis recently published datasets on drug sensitivity CRISPR loss-of-function screens same set lines. For our analysis, first selected lines that consistently exhibit across several classes compounds. We then identified putative genes...
Summary The peak floor acceleration (PFA) is a critical parameter influencing the performance of non‐structural elements in buildings. This paper develops response spectrum analysis method based on complete quadratic combination (CQC) rule to estimate PFA. accounts for rigid contribution truncated higher modes and cross‐correlations between all pairs modes. approximation introduced time domain then formulated frequency by CQC. Application continuous cantilever beam idealizing building with...
Wind energy is a key renewable source, yet wind farms have relatively high cost compared with many traditional sources. Among the life cycle costs of farms, operation and maintenance (O&M) accounts for 25–30%, an efficient strategy management turbines can significantly reduce O&M cost. are subject to fatigue-induced degradation need periodic inspections repairs, which usually performed through semiannual scheduled maintenance. However, better be achieved by flexible policies based on prior...
This paper describes the application of a wireless sensor network to 31 meter-tall medieval tower located in city Trento, Italy. The effort is motivated by preservation integrity set frescoes decorating room on second floor, representing one most important International Gothic artworks Europe. specific demanded development customized hardware and software. module selected as core platform allows reliable communication at low cost with long service life. Sensors include accelerometers,...
BackgroundPrediction of outcomes remains an unmet need in LVAD candidates. Development right heart failure portends excess mortality but imaging parameters ventricular systolic function have failed to demonstrate a prognostic role. By integrating pulmonary pressure, ventriculoarterial coupling could fill this gap.MethodsThe ASSIST-ICD registry was used test surrogate at implantation for the prediction all-cause mortality.ResultsThe ratio tricuspid annular plane excursion over estimated...
Information collected by monitoring systems can provide a significant economic benefit to the operation and maintenance of infrastructure components only under specific conditions. The information has be precise, not redundant, related relevant decision problems uncertainty as, for example, appropriate scheduling actions, maker needs able process that react timely. All these considerations naturally embedded in value (VoI), utility-based metric assessing impact additional making uncertainty....
This paper introduces the concept and development of a strain sensing system for structural application based on properties photonic crystals. Photonic crystals are artificially created periodic structures, usually produced in thinfilm form, where optical tailored by periodicity refractive index. The idea using crystal as sensor is observation that distortion structure produces change reflected bandwidth. When designed to operate visible part spectrum, permanent film results its apparent...
In some regions, sea level rise due to climate change is expected increase saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers, leading increased salt levels drinking water wells relying on these supplies. Seawater contains elevated concentrations of bromide, which has been shown the formation and alter speciation disinfection by-products (DBPs) during treatment process. DBPs have associated with risk cancer negative reproductive outcomes, they are regulated under standards protect human health. This...
Predictions of climate change can significantly affect the optimization measures reducing long-term risk for assets exposed to extreme events. Although a single model be represented by Markov stochastic process and directly integrated into sequential decision-making procedure, under epistemic uncertainty about is computationally more challenging. Decision makers have define not only set models with corresponding probabilities, but also whether how they will learn likelihood these during...
