Abstract Environmental Management Systems (EMS) represent a solid opportunity for companies that voluntarily undertake path towards the adoption of environmental protection policies. Many studies investigated link between EMS and improvement performance, demonstrating how an international standard as ISO 14000 or EMAS guarantees company in its performance increase transparency stakeholders. How...

background respiration management is an important and critical issue in prehospital transportation phase of multiple trauma patients. however, the quality of this important care has not been assessed in iran emergency medical services’ (ems). objectives this study was conducted to investigate the quality of prehospital respiration management in patients with multiple trauma, referred to the sha...

All-electric ships are now a standard offering for energy/propulsion systems in boats. In this context, integrating fuel cells (FCs) as power sources in hybrid energy systems can be an interesting solution because of their high efficiency and low emission. The energy management strategy for different power sources has a great influence on the fuel consumption, dynamic performance and service li...

In this paper, an effective energy management system (EMS) for application in integrated building and microgrid system is introduced and implemented as a multi-objective optimization problem. The proposed architecture covers different key modelling aspects such as distributed heat and electricity generation characteristics, heat transfer and thermal dynamics of sustainable residential buildings...

This paper presents an extensible, transaction oriented Element Manager System (EMS) architecture for IP connectivity management. The key aspects of the proposal are the extensibility, derived from the adoption of an object oriented, policy-based approach, and the transactional feature, which ensures both EMS repository data information and network configuration integrity. This means that an in...

Predicting and understanding mass evacuations are important factors in disaster management response. Current modelling approaches useful for planning but lack of real-time capabilities to help informed decisions as the event evolves. To address this challenge, a Evacuation Management System (EMS) is proposed here, following stochastic approach combining classical models low complexity high reli...
