Thanks to the application of methods allowing precise imaging of microbial ecology, the field of food fermentation has experienced exponential growth in the last few years. This has resulted in the availability of new information on the structure and dynamics of the microbial populations during fermented food production. Molecular Methods and Microbial Ecology of Fermented Foods presents the latest findings in microbial ecology as determined by the application of molecular methods, reports the most recent advances in the field, and offers details on primers and protocols most suitable for studying specific food ecosystems. It provides analytical details and suggestions useful in research, as well as evaluation of the criticism of using novel approaches in food fermentation microbiology. This book also discusses new insights drawn from the use of bio-molecular techniques in the microbial ecology of fermented foods. About the Authors: Luca Cocolin is an associate professor at the University of Turin, Italy. Danilo Ercolini is a researcher at University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy.

With the total number of vehicles steadily increasing and soon approaching one billion, the world is facing serious challenges in terms of both safety of road transport and sustainability. Consequently the two major persistent issues for the automotive industry are improved safety and reduced emissions. The integration of complex microsystems with enhanced intelligence has enabled an increase in efficiency of the previously ‘dumb’ internal combustion engine by an average 1% annually during the last 20 years. In the future, such smart systems may help to leverage novel powertrain concepts towards the zero emission vehicle. Particularly for electric cars, anticipatory power management and efficient driving assistance will be needed to overcome range limitations. Electrical in-wheel motors equipped with novel miniaturized functionalities will be required. Intelligent systems for tire monitoring and control deserve special attention as well, since insufficient tire pressure accounts for more than 3% of the efficiency losses in the car. The conference book in hand is a showroom of activities, the International Forum on Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Applications (AMAA) has been known for during the last 12 years: advanced sensors including one based on the giant magneto resistance (GMR) effect, several camera and radar systems making road traffic safer by assisting the driver in recognizing pedestrians and obstacles, and human-machine interfaces based on the recognition of hand gestures – a striking example of how smart systems will further enhance the usability of vehicles and the comfort of driving.

Il libro Demand Planning analizza metodi quantitativi, modelli matematici e processi aziendali per la gestione e la pianificazione della domanda commerciale delle aziende, relativa ai prodotti ed ai servizi realizzati. Fattori competitivi quali la proliferazione della gamma di prodotti, l’introduzione continua di nuovi prodotti presso nuovi mercati o canali distributivi, il limitato ciclo di vita dei prodotti, la progettazione di attività promozionali rivolte a fidelizzare i clienti e ad accrescere la quota di mercato aziendale, indicano il processo di Demand Planning come cruciale e strategico per la competitività delle aziende. La stima accurata e precisa della futura domanda commerciale, definita sotto forma di piano previsionale, consente all’azienda di definire in modo ottimale piani finanziari, piani strategici, piani operativi di produzione, distribuzione ed approvvigionamento dei materiali. Il libro affronta la complessità inerente la progettazione, la gestione e la manutenzione di un sistema di Demand Planning, attraverso le fasi di conduzione dei processi ad esso afferenti. Il libro si rivolge sia a studenti universitari dei corsi di Ingegneria Gestionale ed Economia di primo e secondo livello, sia a laureati frequentanti Master di specializzazione post-universitaria, infine a professionisti, manager e consulenti operanti, a diverso titolo, nel campo del Demand & Supply Chain Planning.
