The private and social cost of the electric car: a comparison between models of different car market segments
No full textThe Directive CE n.443/2009 has forced car manufactures to supply Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) and Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the Italian car market. This paper aims to estimate the economical sustainability of these “alternative” powertrains by a Decision Support Model (DSM) approach. A case study reports the DSM private and social costs estimations for 39 car models belonging to different Italian market segments. The private cost assessment evidences that gasoline HEVs, diesel HEVs, PHEVs and EVs are still not competitive with “conventional” powertrains: EVs are the optimal solution only in the case of intensive mobility patterns (10
years of use and more than 20,000 kilometres per year driven). The study results are in line with the Italian market shares of 1.6% for the HEVs and the 0.1% for the EVs in the first 10 months of 2015. The social sustainability assessment on a fuel lifecycle basis (Well-to-Wheels assessment) evidences that a Public Authority’s subsidy should be justified for gasoline HEVs, diesel HEVs, PHEVs and EVs in an amount
equal to the social cost difference in respect to the gasoline and diesel ones. The DSM estimations show that EVs have the highest potential in reducing global and local air pollutants emissions and noise: the social cost benefits range between 595€ to 2,976€ in respect to gasoline cars while between 483€ to 2,417€ in respect to diesel ones, depending on the mobility pattern (5,000 – 25,000 km/year driven, 10 years of usage)
Scenari simulativi del costo privato e sociale dell’automobile. Una stima per 7 modelli con diverse tecnologie propulsive in vendita in Italia
No full textQuesto articolo stima i costi privati derivanti dal possesso dell’automobile ed i costi sociali inerenti l’intero ciclo di vita del carburante per sette modelli di automobile (la benzina VW Polo, la diesel Ford Fiesta, la Fiat Punto Evo Natural Power bi-fuel metano-benzina, l’Alfa Romeo MiTo bi-fuel Gpl-benzina, l’ibrida Toyota Yaris, l’elettrica con leasing della batteria Renault Zoe e l’elettrica con proprietà della batteria Peugeot iOn) attualmente in vendita in Italia, utilizzando per l’analisi dati nazionali relativi all'acquisto dei veicoli, ai prezzi dei carburanti e dell’energia elettrica, ai costi di manutenzione, ai costi dell’inquinamento atmosferico e del rumore, al mix energetico. Tra i modelli di automobile considerati, la Ford Fiesta (diesel) è la migliore dal punto di vita del costo totale privato e del consumo di energia relativo al ciclo di vita del carburante, ma la peggiore in termini di costi sociali (inquinamento atmosferico globale, locale e rumore), i quali sono pari a circa il 2,7% del totale dei costi privati. La Toyota Yaris (ibrida) è un'altra scelta molto buona in termini di costi privati (la seconda migliore) ed efficace anche in termini di costi sociali (second best). Tra i modelli bi-fuel, la Fiat Punto (metanobenzina) offre le migliori prestazioni sia in termini di costi privati che sociali. La VW Polo (benzina) ha costi privati più elevati della Ford Fiesta (diesel) e anche della Toyota Yaris (ibrido), risultando invece leggermente migliore rispetto alla Ford Fiesta (diesel) in termini di costi sociali. Contrariamente alle aspettative comuni, i modelli di automobili elettriche sono meno performanti, rispetto alle altre vetture considerate, in termini di consumi energetici e costi connessi all’inquinamento locale mentre risultano solo leggermente migliori rispetto alle automobili convenzionali in termini di costi connessi all’inquinamento globale (CO2). Solamente quando si tengono in considerazione anche i costi dell’inquinamento acustico, le auto elettriche diventano le migliori scelte in termini di costi sociali. Infine, si propone un’analisi di scenario per valutare come la classifica delle vetture sia influenzata da alcuni parametri: anni di possesso del veicolo, chilometri annui percorsi, incentivi resi disponibili dal Governo italiano per le automobili meno inquinanti, aumento del prezzo dei carburanti convenzionali (benzina e gasolio), una diminuzione del costo di produzione delle batterie

The wavelet analysis for the assessment of microvascular function with the laser Doppler fluxmetry over the last 20 years. Looking for hidden informations
No full textThe wavelet analysis has been applied to the Laser Doppler Fluxmetry for assessing the frequency spectrum of the flowmotion to study the microvascular function waves.Although the application of wavelet analysis has allowed a detailed evaluation of the microvascular function, its use does not seem to be yet widespread over the last two decades.Aiming to improve the diffusion of this methodology, we herein present a systematic review of the literature about the application of the wavelet analysis to the laser Doppler fluxmetry signal. A computer research has been performed on PubMed and Scopus databases from January 1990 to December 2017. The used terms for the investigation have been "wavelet analysis", "wavelet transform analysis", "Morlet wavelet transform" along with the terms "laser Doppler", "laserdoppler" and/or "flowmetry" or "fluxmetry". One hundred and eighteen studies have been found. After the scrutiny, 97 studies reporting data on humans have been selected. Fifty-three studies, 54.0% (95% CI 44.2-63.6) pooled rate, have been performed on 892 healthy subjects and 44, 45,9 % (95% CI 36.3-55.7%) pooled rate have been performed on 1679 patients. No significant difference has been found between the two groups (p 0,81). On average, the number of studies published each year was 4.8 (95% CI 3.4-6.2). The trend of studies production has increased significantly from 1998 to 2017, (p 0.0006). But only the studies on patients have shown a significant increase trend along the years (p 0.0003), than the studies on healthy subjects (p 0.09).In conclusion, this review highlights that despite being a promising and interesting methodology for the study of the microcirculatory function, the wavelet analysis has remained still neglected
Wavelet analysis of the Laser Doppler signal to assess skin perfusion
No full textThe hemodynamics of skin microcirculation can
be clinically assessed by means of Laser Doppler Fluxmetry.
Laser Doppler signals show periodic oscillations because of
fluctuations of microvascular perfusion (flowmotion), which
are sustained by contractions and relaxations of arteriolar
walls rhythmically changing vessels diameter (vasomotion). The
wavelet analysis applied to Laser Doppler signals displays six
characteristic frequency intervals, from 0.005 to 2 Hz. Each
interval is assigned to a specific structure of the cardiovascular
system: heart, respiration, vascular myocites, sympathetic
terminations, and endothelial cells (dependent and independent
on nitric oxide). Therefore, mechanisms of skin perfusion can
be investigated through wavelet analysis. In the present work,
examples of methods and results of wavelet analysis applied to
Laser Doppler signals are reported. Laser Doppler signals were
acquired in two groups of patients to check possible changes in
vascular activities, before and after occlusive reactive
hyperaemia, and before and after revascularizatio
Bridging the gap between basic research on microcirculation and clinical world: The translational marriage between engineering and medicine
No full textThe words "Translational" and "Medicine" have been recently coupled to indicate a combination of disciplines, resources, expertise, and techniques aimed at enhancing prevention, diagnosis, and therapies. As stated in 2015 by the European Society for Translational Medicine, translational medicine is "an interdisciplinary branch of the biomedical field supported by three main pillars: benchside, bedside and community". By definition, Translational Medicine is a highly interdisciplinary field, which gathers several specialties aimed at improving the global healthcare system.With regard to the assessment of the microcirculatory function, it is worthwhile to mention the growing interest from both basic research and clinical practice. Microcirculation is where the exchange of substances between blood and tissues takes place. Thus, it plays a key role in the pathophysiology of many diseases. Nonetheless, a gap does exist between the theoretical analysis of the microcirculatory function and its clinical exploitation. This gap can be due to the weak dissemination of analytical methods and theoretical results within the clinical community, which also delays the establishment of specific operative guidelines.This paper aims at encouraging, and possibly accelerating, the translation of basic research outcomes on microcirculatory function assessment into clinical applications
