Abstract:

With the continuous advance of urbanisation, the exposure of anthropogenic structures in Romania to extreme natural phenomena is ever increasing. As a response to the needs of a safer and more secure urban environment against earthquake disasters, the PREVENT project aims to use research based knowledge and ICT technologies to develop, test and promote a reference online service platform in which real time data (seismic, environmental) or other types of data is easily integrated, processed using state-of-the art algorithms, also in real time, and Decision Support solutions are delivered - for emergency intervention, structural health monitoring and business continuity planning, using Internet-of-Things capabilities.
The platform is thought to be dynamic, continuously fed and updated with new data and open, in the sense of providing the possibility of bringing and integrating new parameters and data that would become useful in the future, from researchers, property owners, local authorities and the general public.

Abstract:

The quality of life and infrastructure security are vulnerable more and more to natural disasters caused by geologic (earthquakes, volcanoes etc.), atmospheric, hydrologic or technologic events. Also, the earthquakes are responsible for approximatively 30% of the total damage generated by natural and anthropogenic events. There is a big vulnerability of buildings from Bucharest and other cities, that was observed during the last catastrophic events from 1940 November 10 (Mw =7.4) and 1977 March 4 (Mw=7.2). During the 1977 earthquake were recorded 1578 deaths, 11300 injured people and 35000 houses destroyed. 480 people died from burns caused by gas fires, since after the earthquake the gas was still pumped in the gas pipes of towns. Providing warning notification several seconds before dangerous earthquake waves arrive at a target site mitigates the property damages and human casualties.

Cloud Service Platform for Managing the Patient Clinical Observation Sheet in Hospitals. Call name: P 2 - SP 2.1 - Proiect experimental - demonstrativ

Abstract:

The project scope is to develop a system designed to acquire, process and retrieve medical observations from and to the patient clinical observation sheet.
The system is designed to help the physician in his daily patient visits to fill his observations in the observation sheet. Our approach is to use a recording device, and the most frequent found recording device is nowadays the mobile phone (smart phone), to record the physician observations and to transform the recorded voice using a Speech To Text Cloud SaaS Service, in a text file which later will be added to the observation sheet, next to the bed of the patient. The system will improve the efficiency of the physician which spends lesser time to fill the observation sheet, can be used for getting a second opinion about the condition of the patient from another physician in some cases, can be used for investigating malpractice situations and offer a high level of security for personal data protection.

Standalone earthquake alert receiver able to generate „on-site” notifications Call name: P 2 - SP 2.1 - Proiect experimental - demonstrativ

Abstract:

The quality of life and infrastructure security are vulnerable more and more to natural disasters caused by geologic (earthquakes, volcanoes etc.), atmospheric, hydrologic or technologic events. In Romania and abroad, earthquakes are causing 15 % of the total number of these events. Also the earthquake are responsible for approximatively 30% of the total damage generated by natural and anthropogenic events. There is a big vulnerability of buildings from Bucharest and other cities, that was observed during the last catastrophic events from 1940 November 10 (Mw =7.4) and 1977 March 4 (Mw=7.2). During the 1977 earthquake were recorded 1578 deaths, 11300 injured people and 35000 houses destroyed. 480 people died from burns caused by gas fires, since after the earthquake the gas was still pumped in the gas pipes of towns. Providing warning notification several seconds before dangerous earthquake waves arrive at a target site mitigate the property damages and human casualties.
The scope of SEER project(Standalone earthquake alert receiver able to generate „on-site” notifications)is to create a low-cost, robust and versatile tool for end-users with direct implication in society and critical infrastructure management and the quality of life during hazardous phenomena. The scope will be achieved following two specific objectives (A) To improve the EEWS performance and (B) To test the performance of the device capabilities with historical and real time data. The main result of the project is a device able to receive alerts notifications from the regional EEWS operated by NIEP and also to issue alerts using the “on-site” approach. This receiver device will be a modular one and will be easily adaptable to future client needs.

Abstract:

The goal of the project is to create a coherent, multidisciplinary, stakeholder-oriented and practical set of solutions for monitoring vulnerabilities induced in people, natural environment, infrastructure and assets by nuclear facilities, with a pronounced preoccupation for precautionary, anticipatory assessment and early warning. In essence, the system will forecast over an hourly-advancing time-window of 8 or more hours the potential exposure, radiological impact and need for countermeasures over the near-field (ca.25 km radius) and far-field (up to a few hundred kilometers) of a nuclear facility, entailed by virtual radioactive atmospheric releases and will aggregate the respective indicators according to appropriate metrics for grading the vulnerability (see DHS Risk Lexicon 2010 Edition - online) of the afore-mentioned targets on a stakeholder-intelligible scale, briefing responsible authorities on the situation forthcoming. To this effect, it will articulate in a logical flow analytic models of radiological assessment; conceptual models for quantitative risk/vulnerability assessment; and executable processes, all embedded in a knowledge, data, GIS and documentary resource canvas.
The system endeavors to be in keeping with state of the art toolkits in radiological assessment of major risk responders, while featuring specific differences in (a) mindset: embracing the real possibility of severe accidents beyond the design basis, the probabilistic appraisal and operational history of the hazard sources; (b) ontology: a functionality and structure emphasizing the dynamic, fast-changing vulnerabilities in pace with weather and other variables; (c) coverage: a radiological engine accommodating various models of pollutant environmental dispersion; a geographic engine to cover on-the-fly virtually any location on the Planet; a meteorological engine forecasting real-time-fashion the model-relevant data from public, web-based sources; (d) a combination of standalone and web-based modi operandi conferring code operational safety; and (e) a minimalist complexity observant to the ‘point of diminishing return’.
Mindful of the Law, regulations and the established national system of nuclear and radiological emergency preparedness and response (i.e. CNCAN-Romania, Nuclear Safety Basic Norms, NSR-1) the solutions will complement the current capabilities by several innovative angles of approach and problem-solvers attuned to the international topical framework and good practices, on sound scientific foundations feeding from Physics and Fluid Dynamics; the Environmental Science; Geography; and Formal Sciences and IT&C engineering.
While observant of the Romanian needs and specifics, the toolkit will also lend particular attention to the cross-border implications of the issues and will contemplate possible avenues to interoperation with European platforms of similar vocation, seeking compliance with the EU policies (Council Directive 96/29/EURATOM and the Decisions and Regulations thereof).
Relying on an alliance of an R&D national institute, a major technical university and a prominent private business enterprise, the project aims at developing and delivering an experimental model, code-named N-WATCHDOG, that may eventually (in a post-project phase) evolve into a marketable product. It will offer on-line/offline interactive facilities to various users, as well as analytical and warning services that may be automatically, or by appointment/subscription delivered to governance entities and, as custom-trimmed versions, to environment-awareness coalitions and the media. By its intrinsic educational features resting on, 'serious-gaming' simulation and visualization capabilities, the outcome-product may also contribute to improving Civil Society's 'soft power' by offering technical and cultural requisites for a rational, balanced attitude towards the future of the Nuclear Power in the post-Fukushima World.
