Questo elaborato presenta il progetto di una interfaccia per l'aggiunta di sensori inerziali ad un nodo di una WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) �finalizzato al monitoraggio delle frane. Analizzando i vantaggi che avrebbe portato l'utilizzo di ulteriori sensori, si �e cercato di fornire un valido approccio di progettazione; in particolare l'idea �e quella di integrarli con un giroscopio ed un accelerometro aventi applicazioni in altri settori. Con questo particolare utilizzo, essi possono portare ad un miglior monitoraggio riuscendo a rilevare i movimenti in modo dettagliato ed a riconoscere i falsi allarmi. Nell'approccio che si intende suggerire verranno sfruttate schede per la prototipazione rapida, user-friendly e con costi decisamente accessibili, adatte alla sperimentazione elettronica e per lo sviluppo di nuovi dispositivi. Attraverso l'utilizzo di ambienti di sviluppo appositamente creati, si sono simulate le comunicazioni tra nodo e scheda di sensori, mettendo in evidenza i vantaggi ottenuti. Buona parte del progetto ha riguardato la programmazione in linguaggio C/C++, con una particolare attenzione al risparmio energetico.

Purpose: To determine the heavy metal and trace element composition of the powdered aerial parts of Origanum sipyleum L. and its water extract. Methods: The heavy metal and trace elements content of the powdered plant material and 2 % aqueous extract were evaluated by x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy with silicon drift detector SDD at a resolution of 145 eV and 10,000 pulses. The process conditions were 0.1 g sample weight, process time of 300 s at a voltage of 25 kV and 50 kV, and at a current of 0.5 and 1.0 mA under helium atmosphere. Results: The major elements, K, Ca and Na, known as macronutrients, constituted 11990, 10490 and 970 ppm of the powdered drug and 8910, 2991 and 810 ppm of the water extract, respectively. Among other constituents, arsenic, lead and uranium levels were < 1, 2.1 and < 3 ppm, respectively, in the powdered material while in the aqueous extract, the levels were < 1, < 2 and 200 ppm, respectively. Conclusion: O. sipyleum is a potential source of macro- and micronutrients from which useful food additives and health supplements can be derived.

Purpose: To investigate the antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activities of essential oil from Mentha pulegium L. (EOMP) on multi-drug resistant (MDR) isolates of A. baumannii , as well as its phytochemical composition, antioxidant properties and cytotoxic activity. Methods: The phytochemical composition of EOMP was analyzed by gas chromatography, while its antimicrobial activities were determined by disc diffusion and broth micro-dilution methods. Minimal biofilm inhibition concentration (MBIC) and minimal biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) tests were used for assessment of its anti-biofilm properties. Viability in the biofilm was studied using 2,3-bis (2- methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT) assay, while colorimetric assay was used to assess its cytotoxicity on L929 cells. Results: D-isomenthone, pulegone, isopulegone, menthol and piperitenone were the major components of the plant extract. EOMP produced > 22 mm inhibition zone for the isolates, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and MBIC of 0.6 - 2.5 and 0.6 - 1.25 μL/mL, respectively, while MBEC was ≥ 10 μL/msL. EOMP damaged biofilm structures formed by A. baumannii strains at MIC by 26 – 91 %. Conclusion: These results suggest that EOMP contains agents that may be useful in the development of new drugs against A. baumannii infections.

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a fast, low-cost, nondestructive, and truly multielement analytical technique. The objectives of this study are to quantify the amount of Na(+) and K(+) in samples of table salt (refined, marine, and light) and to compare three different methodologies of quantification using XRF. A fundamental parameter method revealed difficulties in quantifying accurately lighter elements (Z < 22). A univariate methodology based on peak area calibration is an attractive alternative, even though additional steps of data manipulation might consume some time. Quantifications were performed with good correlations for both Na (r = 0.974) and K (r = 0.992). A partial least-squares (PLS) regression method with five latent variables was very fast. Na(+) quantifications provided calibration errors lower than 16% and a correlation of 0.995. Of great concern was the observation of high Na(+) levels in low-sodium salts. The presented application may be performed in a fast and multielement fashion, in accordance with Green Chemistry specifications.
