Background: With increasing insecticide resistance in malaria-endemic countries there is an urgent need for safe and effective novel vector control products. To improve the capacity of facilities that test insecticides in sub-Saharan Africa, a programme is supporting seven facilities towards Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) certification, the globall...
Traditionally, heavy ion radiation effects affecting digital systems working in safety critical application systems has been of huge interest. Nowadays, due to the shrinking technology process, Integrated Circuits became sensitive also to other kinds of radiation particles such as neutron that can exist at the earth surface and affects ground-level...

A thermoelectric cells test facility has been designed and realized at the laboratory of the Department of Industrial Engineering (DIN), University of Bologna. The test facility has been configured to reproduce, in scale, the working conditions of a typical biomass power plant. Commercial thermoelectric cells (also named Seebeck cells) are characte...
A test facility for field measurements of natural ventilation in livestock buildings was developed. Choice of used materials and methods were taken into account: ultrasonic wind anemometers, linear guiding systems for sensor movement and data loggers were carefully chosen. The true scale test facility makes it possible to measure and study air flow...

Based on the technology of conventional engine dynamic test system, using high dynamic AC frequency conversion dynamometer, developing of the simulators of road load, vehicle inertia, driver etc., a heavy duty hybrid power train dynamic test stand is developed. The stand can supply a near real road environment for hybrid power train of the vehicle....
The E5 and E6 bands, which will be used by Galileo, will have to be shared with many ground-based applications in the aeronautical, communications and military domains. It becomes crucial to evaluate the effects of interference from terrestrial sources on the performance of GNSS Receivers. In order to solve this issue, the data recording in differe...
This article outlines the necessity for federated service oriented testbeds in order to accommodate the requirements of Future Internet research. Extensive investigations have been carried out in the networking and grid computing area during the last decades. These activities have successfully instantiated a number of large scale collaborative netw...
