The last few years have seen a growing use of robots to replace humans in dangerous activities, such as inspections, border control, and military operations. In some application areas, as the latter, there is the need to hide strategic information, such as acquired data or relevant positions. This paper presents a vision based system to find encrypted targets in unknown environments by using small-scale robots and visual cryptography. The robots acquire a scene by a standard RGB camera and use a visual cryptography based technique to encrypt the data.

An experimental and computational investigation characterizing the processes following the double photoionization of the methyloxirane and N-methylformamide molecules has been reported. The double photoionization experiments have been performed at the Elettra Synchrotron Facility of Trieste (Italy).

With reference to the public-private partnership procedures for the enhancement of the public property assets, in this paper an innovative methodology for assessing the financial conveniences of the parties involved (private investor and Public Administration) is proposed.

The paper deals with an innovative Predictive Maintenance (PdM) system to assess the quality of the engine oil for buses, tested in Ravenna within the European Bus System of the Future - EBSF_2 project, funded by the European Union. The system relies on a PdM software linked to oil sensors and filters, installed on a test fleet, and on an IT architecture, specifically designed.
