The paper reports a wide overview of the scientific activities on Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) in Italy. They are classified on three different conceptual scales: national territory (macro); regional area (medium); single structure (small). In the latter case differences have been pointed out between permanent installation and short-term experimental campaigns. A particular focus has been dedicated to applications devoted to cultural heritage which have an important historic, strategic and economic value for Italy. Two specific cases, the first related to the permanent monitoring of an historical Basilica and the second regarding the dynamic testing of a modern structure, have been presented as a basis for a general discussion.

Cancers are significant contributors to the mortality and health care expenditures. Cancer can be reduced and monitored by new information technology. Radio frequency identification or RFID is a wireless identification technology. The use of this technology can be employed for identifying and tracking clinical staff, patients, supplies, medications and equipments. RFID can trace and manage chemotherapy drugs. There are different types of RFID. Implantable RFID allowing a chip to be embedded under the skin and that store the cancer patient's identifier. These are concerns about applications of RFID. Privacy, security and legal issues are key problems. This paper describes capabilities, benefits and confidentiality aspects in radio frequency identification systems and solutions for overcoming challenges.

In the design of super-tall towers, engineers often find the conventional frame systems used in countless buildings in the past decades incapable of providing the required form, performance and constructability demanded by super-tall heights. The strength of the diagrid as a structural system in high-rise towers is the total flexibility it affords the designer as an adaptable, efficient and buildable scheme. Using fundamental engineering principles combined with modern computational tools, designers can take minimum load path forms to create rationalized diagrid geometries to create optimized, highly efficient towers. The use of diagrid frames at SOM has evolved as a structural typology beginning with the large braced frames on the John Hancock Center and continued in modern applications proving to be a powerful system in meeting the demands of supertall buildings.

The work aims to evaluate the necessary physical properties of Abrasion Resistant Pavers designed for high volume pedestrian and road vehicle traffic and their influence on the selection of raw materials and ceramic processes. The pavers' specifications such as high strength and ware resistance demand a careful clay preparation, slow drying, slow firing and a balanced chemical and mineralogical composition. Therefore, developing abrasion Resistant Pavers in existing modern brickmaking plants, which are designed primarily for making bricks and pavers for domestic applications, has become a challenge for manufacturers and ceramic professionals. The significance of quality control and research and development in the production of these high class pavers is also emphasised in this work through the investigation of a paver that exhibits shrinkage cracking.

Servo drives with microcomputer control provide the possibility of using modern and sophisticated control algorithms. As an additional feature it is possible to implement parallel and/or redundant software and hardware structures to realise safe motion or similar security functions. Unfortunately microcomputer control also has some impact on the behaviour of servo drives. Control algorithm, cycle time, sensors and interface have to be perfectly synchronised. Special control schemes are necessary on the line side (power supply) to meet the actual requirements concerning EMC. This contribution presents experiences and results obtained from a modern digital drive system pointing out the influences of low and high accuracy position sensors and the interdependencies mentioned above.

The Permanent Magnet Brushless DC (PMBLDC) motors have been used in modern industrial factories, hazardous chemical process, modern medical devices, and especially in advanced military devices such as army drones. By considering their sensitive role in the industrial and military applications, their optimal design has a real concern. This paper proposes a method for optimal eco-design of a PMBLDC motor using improved tabu search optimization. The objective function is based on losses, volume and cost. Electrical and mechanical requirements and other limitations are combined into constraints of problem. Also, finite element analysis has been used for verifications in magnetic mode.

In recent years, the Guochao style of virtual idols has proliferated, and the virtual idol market in China has witnessed gradual growth. As Guochao combines traditional Chinese culture with modern aesthetics, it shapes a distinctive visual identity for Chinese virtual idols. We address the current research gap by exploring the characteristics of Guochao style in virtual idol design through literature analysis, semiotics, and comparative studies. We examine how Guochao virtual idols represent the convergence of Chinese culture and modern technology, reflecting cultural characteristics of the era. Through our analysis of virtual idol design, we identify key design features of Guochao virtual idols, bridging a theoretical void in this area. We propose recommendations to foster a more dynamic and culturally enriched virtual idol industry in China. Our research provides new insights into integrating Guochao elements into virtual idol design as an approach to differentiate amid competition while promoting traditional Chinese culture through digital media. We demonstrate how this design approach enhances the uniqueness and cultural value of Chinese virtual idols, contributing to the field's theoretical foundation and practical applications.

인터넷의 급격한 성장과 함께 기존의 많은 소프트웨어들이 웹 기반으로 그 모습을 변화하고 있으며, 이로 인해 웹 어플리케이션의 복잡성이 증가되고 개발에 있어 많은 비용이 소요되고 있다. 따라서 웹의 특성을 잘 반영하는 개발 환경의 구축이 무엇보다 중요시된다. 본 논문에서는 웹 어플리케이션 개발을 위한 효율적인 환경을 제시한다. 이를 위해 웹의 특성을 파악한 후 웹 어플리케이션을 위한 프로세스와 모델링 환경을 정의한다. 제시된 환경은 크게 3가지 기능을 가진다. 첫째, 웹 어플리케이션 설계를 위한 모델링 환경을 제공한다. 둘째, WML이라는 웹 어플리케이션 모델링 언어를 제공한다. 셋째, 모델링 단계에서의 다이어그램을 바탕으로 자동으로 웹 페이지를 추출한다. 결국 제시된 환경의 사용은 웹 어플리케이션의 설계, 개발, 유지보수를 용이하게 할 수 있다.

VoiceXML (Voice extensible Markup language)은 음성 대화를 웹의 마크업 언어로 기술할 수 있는 차세대 대화형 음성 서비스를 위한 표준이다. 현재 발표된 VoiceXML 1.0 사양은 음성대화의 기술에 초점을 두고 있으며, 음성 서비스의 시작 시점에 관해서는 언급이 없다. 본 논문에서는 사용자에 의해 시작하는 주문형 (on-demand) 음성 서비스 (inbound call) 뿐만 아니라, 최근에 고객관계관리 (CRM: Customer Relationship Management) 등에서 요구되는 시스템에 의한 푸쉬형 음성 서비스 (outbound call)가 가능한 VoiceXML 플랫폼을 설계하고 구현하였다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 W3C (World Wide Web Consortium)의 호 제어 요구사항 (Call Control Requirements)을 바탕으로 음성 대화 중에 팩스 송수신이 가능하도록 VoiceXML 문서형 정의 (UTD: Document Type Definition)를 확장하였다.
