Consequently, current European standards impose very low NO2 emission thresholds in exhaust gases. Thus, there is a need for novel sensors able to monitor small NO2 concentrations for real time adjustments of engines performances. In this perspective, absorption spectroscopy is a method of great interest as it has been largely used in the past to measure NO2 concentration in air atmosphere. Such measurements require the knowledge of the NO2 absorption cross-sections. As the atmosphere is a “cold” environment, these data is only known up to 25°C. The first purpose of this study is then, to measure the absorption cross-sections of NO2 at higher temperatures, i.e. up to 150°C. Then, based on these results, absorption measurements were performed on hot gas mixtures containing very small concentrations of NO2 (<;5ppm). A resolution close to one part per million was observed.","PeriodicalId":346259,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Workshop on Environmental, Energy, and Structural Monitoring Systems (EESMS) Proceedings","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125364780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is therefore a need to refine the investigations and techniques of analysis by different degree of reliability, as well as in relation to their impact. Knowledge can be achieved with different levels of detail, depending on the accuracy of geometric survey operations, historical research, and experimental investigations. The aim of the study is the analysis of the seismic vulnerability of the historical building “Pandone Castle”. The knowledge procedure has led to the assessment of security level against seismic actions.","PeriodicalId":346259,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Workshop on Environmental, Energy, and Structural Monitoring Systems (EESMS) Proceedings","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116827712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
