Economic integration in East Asia and Europe: lessons from a comparative analysis
This paper compares the economic integration processes of the European Union and the East Asian nations and comments on the possible reciprocal lessons, if any, that can be drawn to smooth the future paths of the two groups. The most relevant lessons on the EU side rely on strong institutionalization, structural policies, and the monetary union. Lessons from East Asia can be found in regional production networks, trade patterns, and the recent developments in financial cooperation. Both entities are presently facing difficult challenges to progress and growth
Modulo contattore con membrane piane idrofobiche integrato in uno scambiatore di calore
L’invenzione concerne un modulo contattore (10) a tre fluidi, aria, fluido termovettore ed una fase liquida, detto modulo contattore comprendendo una pluralità di piastre (1) all’interno delle quali sono ricavati condotti per il fluido termovettore, ad esempio un fluido frigorigeno evaporante, detta pluralità di piastre (1) essendo disposte in modo parallelo formando una successione di coppie di piastre, il contattore essendo caratterizzato dal fatto che all’interno di almeno una coppia di piastre sono contenute:
- una prima ed una seconda membrana (3) piana idrofobica separate e sostenute da mezzi di distanziamento e supporto (4) configurati (5) per consentire il passaggio di aria di processo perpendicolarmente alla direzione di estensione principale di detta coppia di piastre (1),
- tra detta prima e seconda membrana piana idrofobica e le rispettive superfici esterne di dette due piastre (1) è presente uno spazio per il flusso della fase liquida,
alle opposte estremità di detta pluralità di piastre (1) essendo posti rispettivi collettori (2) per la raccolta del fluido refrigerante e della fase liquida

Diagnostic procedure in asbestos-related disease: Marginal considerations in a clinical case of suspected occupational neoplasia (Iter diagnostico nelle patologie asbesto correlate, considerazionia margine di un caso clinico di sospetta neoplasia professionale)
In our country the rate of asbestos - related
neoplasia, in particular pleural mesothelioma and lung cancer,
is increasing; the data provided by INAIL concerning the
complaints for occupational diseases filed in 2006 ex table D.P.R.
336/1994 (neoplastic diseases caused by asbestos: pleural,
pericardial and peritoneal mesothelioma; lung cancer) are
significant. The total number of such complaints in our country
amounts to 753 (135 in Liguria and 384 in the north - western
regions). As the issue of health following up of former exposed
workers is actually an important concern of occupational
medicine, some protocols have recently been proposed with the
aim to early diagnose asbestos related neoplasia, thus getting a
better prognosis. Under the medico - legal aspect, the need for
fixing the proper criteria for aetiological attribution to asbestos
of lung cancer in subjects previously exposed to that substance is
a controversial issue, being the various approaches quite different;
the incidental finding of a lung “coin lesion” in a subject who had
been holding an annuity for years, as an indemnity granted by
INAIL for asbestosis, has prompted the authors both to thorougly
go over such a clinical case and to review the literature on the
topic, in particular as to the complex medico - legal implications
