Book excerpt: In questo volume sono contenuti I contribute di 55 gruppi di ricerca: - DICATECH: 9 - DICAR: 12 - DMMM: 10 - DEI: 11 - DIF: 12 - I-D: 1 I “gruppi di ricerca” sono i veri protagonisti nel Politecnico di Bari sia dell’avanzamento disciplinare, sia dell’elaborazione di progetti al servizio del territorio (la cosiddetta terza missione), in genere in base al trasferimento tecnologico e del know-how. Essi incrociano l’avanzamento tecnologico (KETS) con le sfide sociali (SCS) KETs: nanotecnologie; materiali avanzati; sviluppo sostenibile; edifici ad alta efficienza energetica; le fabbriche del futuro; industrie di trasformazioni sostenibili. - SCs: salute, cambiamento demografico e benessere; sicurezza alimentare agricoltura e silvicoltura sostenibili; ricerca sulle acque del mare e interne; bio-economia; energia sicura, pulita e efficiente, trasporti intelligenti, verdi e integrati; azione per il clima, l’ambiente, l’efficienza delle risorse e delle materie prime; l’Europa in un mondo che cambia: società inclusive, innovative e riflessive; Società sicure: proteggere la libertà e la sicurezza dell’Europa e dei suoi cittadini. This volume contains the contributions of 55 research groups: - DICATECH: 9 - DICAR: 12 - DMMM: 10 - DEI: 11 - DIF: 12 - I-D: 1 The“research groups” are the real stars of the disciplinary progress in the Politecnico di Bari, and of the development of projects in the service of the territory (the so-called third mission), usually based on the transfer of technology and of know-how. They mixed the technological advancement (KETS) with the social challenges (SCS). Key Enabling Technologies (KETs): Nanotechnologies; Advanced materilas; Sustainable development; Energy-efficient buildings, Factories of the Future, and Sustainable Process Industries. Societal Challenges (SCs): Health, demographic change and wellbeing; Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research, and the Bio-economy: Secure, clean and efficient energy; Smart, green and integrated transport; Climate action environment, resource efficiency and raw materials: Europe in a changing world-inclusive, innovative and reflective societies; Secure societies – protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens.

Download or read book Image Fusion written by Tania Stathaki and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-08-29 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth in the use of sensor technology has led to the demand for image fusion: signal processing techniques that can combine information received from different sensors into a single composite image in an efficient and reliable manner. This book brings together classical and modern algorithms and design architectures, demonstrating through applications how these can be implemented. Image Fusion: Algorithms and Applications provides a representative collection of the recent advances in research and development in the field of image fusion, demonstrating both spatial domain and transform domain fusion methods including Bayesian methods, statistical approaches, ICA and wavelet domain techniques. It also includes valuable material on image mosaics, remote sensing applications and performance evaluation. This book will be an invaluable resource to R&D engineers, academic researchers and system developers requiring the most up-to-date and complete information on image fusion algorithms, design architectures and applications. Combines theory and practice to create a unique point of reference Contains contributions from leading experts in this rapidly-developing field Demonstrates potential uses in military, medical and civilian areas

The book also examines the important role nanotechnology plays in the preparation of drugs, protein delivery, tissue engineering, cardiovascular biomaterials, hard tissue replacements, biosensors, and bio-MEMS. With contributions from renowned international experts and extensive reference lists in each chapter, this book provides detailed, practical information to produce biomaterials and employ them in biomedicine.

Download or read book Adaptronics and Smart Structures written by Hartmut Janocha and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptronics is the term encompassing technical fields that have become known internationally under the names "smart materials", "intelligent structures", and "smart structures". Adaptronics contributes to the optimisation of systems and products. It bridges the gap between material and system or product, and incorporates the search for multi-functional materials and elements and their integration in systems or structures. The authors of this book have taken on the task of displaying the current state of the art in this fascinating field. The system components, actuators, sensors and controllers, technical fundamentals, materials, design rules and practical solutions are all described. Selected sample applications are also presented and current development trends are demonstrated.
