Electrical and Electronic Engineering Education in Italy
The organization of engineering education in Italy is discussed, considering also the changes which are being introduced as a result of recent law; in this country, in fact, all university curricula are subject to state laws.

Abstract Introduction Many artificial intelligence (AI) solutions have been proposed to enhance the radiotherapy (RT) workflow, but limited applications have been implemented to date, suggesting an implementation gap. One contributing factor to this gap is a misalignment between AI systems and their users.

Autonomous quantum heat engine using an electron shuttle [PDF]
We propose an autonomous quantum heat engine based on the thermally driven oscillation of a single electron shuttle. The electronic degree of freedom of this device acts as an internal dynamical controller which switches the interaction of the engine with the thermal baths.

In vivo transit dosimetry methodology for whole breast intensity modulated radiation therapy
Abstract Background In vivo transit dosimetry using an electronic portal imaging device (EPID‐IVTD) is an important tool for verifying the accuracy of radiation therapy treatments. Despite its potential, the implementation of EPID‐IVTD in breast intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatments has not yet been standardized, limiting its clinical

A simple quantum heat engine [PDF]
Quantum heat engines employ as working agents multi-level systems instead of gas-filled cylinders. We consider particularly two-level agents such as electrons immersed in a magnetic field. Work is produced in that case when the electrons are being carried from a high-magnetic-field region into a low-magnetic-field region.

Bringing active learning, experimentation, and student-created videos in engineering: A study about teaching electronics and physical computing integrating online and mobile learning [PDF]
Active Learning (AL) is a well-known teaching method in engineering because it allows to foster learning and critical thinking of the students by employing debate, hands-on activities, and experimentation. However, most educational results of this instructional method have been achieved in face-to-face educational settings and less has been said about ...

Effects of Electron-Electron Scattering on Electron-Beam Propagation in a Two-Dimensional Electron-Gas [PDF]
We have studied experimentally and theoretically the influence of electron-electron collisions on the propagation of electron beams in a two-dimensional electron gas for excess injection energies ranging from zero up to the Fermi energy. We find that the detector signal consists of quasiballistic electrons, which either have not undergone any electron ...

Introducing Hermes: Executing Clinical Quality Language (CQL) at over 66 Million Resources per Second (inexpensively) [PDF]
Clinical Quality Language (CQL) has emerged as a standard for rule representation in Clinical Decision Support (CDS) and Electronic Clinical Quality Measurement (eCQM) in healthcare. While open-source reference implementations and a few commercial engines exist, there is still a market need for high-performance engines that can execute CQL queries on ...

Development of a generic focal spot measurement method suitable for bore‐type linacs
Abstract Purpose In linear accelerators, deviations in the x‐ray focal spot position significantly affect the accuracy of radiation therapy. However, as the focal spot position in bore‐type linac systems such as the Radixact system, cannot be assessed using conventional methods, a new evaluation method is required.
