    Le Saint-Siège et la guerre du Vietnam

    No full text
    Il volume collettaneo raccoglie i risultati di una iniziativa internazionale (Parigi, 2003) tenutosi in occasione del trentennale degli accordi di Parigi del 1973 sul conflitto vietnamita, che avrebbero messo fine all'intervento militare americano nella penisola indocinese. I contributi esaminano da diverse prospettive analitiche le posizioni dei vari attori internazionali rispetto alla crisi vietnamita, mettendo in luce in particolare la posizione dell'Europa. Nel saggio specifico di M. Mugnaini viene approfondita la particolare posizione diplomatica della Santa Sede e i suoi tentativi di mediazione rispetto al conflitto

    SBT soft fault diagnosis in analog electronic circuits: a sensitivity-based approach by randomized algorithms

    No full text
    This paper addresses the fault diagnosis issue based on a simulation before test philosophy in analog electronic circuits. Diagnosis, obtained by comparing signatures measured at the test nodes with those contained in a fault dictionary, allows for sub-systems testing and fault isolation within the circuit. A novel method for constructing the fault dictionary under the single faulty component/unit hypothesis is proposed. The method, based on a harmonic analysis, allows for selecting the most suitable test input stimuli and nodes by means of a global sensitivity approach efficiently carried out by randomized algorithms. Applicability of the method to a wide class of circuits and its integration in diagnosis tools are granted since randomized algorithms assure that the selection problem can be effectively carried out with a poly-time algorithm independently from the fault space, structure, and complexity of the circuit

    Automated selection of test frequencies for fault diagnosis in analog electronic circuits

    No full text
    This paper suggests three novel methods for selecting the frequencies of sinusoidal test signals to be used in fault diagnosis of analog electronic circuits. The first and second methods are based on a sensitivity analysis and show to be particularly effective in linear circuits where a priori information and designer experience can be exploited. Conversely, the third method selects the input frequencies to be used for diagnostic purposes without requiring any hypothesis about the circuit or testing design background. As such, the method is particularly appealing in complex -possibly nonlinear - circuits where the designer experience is of little value and an effective "blind" approach saves both designer and testing time. The suggested frequency selection methods are then contrasted to each other against performance and computational complexity

    Correction method of vibration effects for images produced by laser radar

    Present large scale fusion research reactors need imaging and metrology systems to make a survey of the status of the in-vessel plasma facing components in order to detect damage or evaluate erosions. The paper outline a solution based on a laser radar scanning probe. The probe is carried and inserted in the machine by a long harm, then there is the possibility that vibrations could arise in the probe, induced by the movements of the scanning head or by other vibration sources present in the machine like the vacuum systems. A dedicated test campaign was performed to evaluate how viewing and metrology produced by the laser radar are affected by vibrations at low frequency (f < 2 Hertz, and amplitude in the order of 0.5-2 mm). Furthermore a vibration correction algorithm was developed to cancel the vibrations effects in post processing. © 2015 IEEE

    Association of anti-GM1 antibodies but not of anti-cytomegalovirus, Campylobacter jejuni and Helicobacter pylori IgG, with a poor outcome in Guillain-Barré syndrome

    Few reports exist on the influence of humoral immune responses, against microorganisms involved in infections preceding Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and GM1, on clinical outcome. Nor is there any data on the relation between anti-Helicobacter pylori antibodies and prognosis in patients with GBS. To address these questions, we assayed and correlated serum anti-GM1 IgG and IgM and anti-H. pylori, anti-Campylobacter jejuni and anti-cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG with duration of hospitalization of GBS patients and prognosis at discharge. Patients with anti-GM1 alone or associated with anti-H. pylori antibodies had significant longer hospitalization to reach a low clinical score at discharge than those without (P=0.004). A significant difference was also found for the association of anti-GM1 with anti-CMV antibodies (P=0.019). A weak but significant association of anti-GM1 and anti-C. jejuni antibodies with long hospitalization and worse prognosis at discharge was also found (P=0.02). The statistical significance increased when patients with anti-GM1 and anti-microorganism antibodies were compared with those displaying anti-H. pylori or anti-CMV only. These findings provide further evidence that the level of circulating anti-GM1 IgG plays a role in determining recovery from disability in GBS patients irrespective of other IgG against microorganisms causing infections preceding GBS
