The thesis is divided in two parts: the first part regards MV-semirings, involutive semirings and semimodules over them with particular attention to injective and projective semimodules; the second part of the thesis is ...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2), also known as titanium (IV) oxide or titania, is naturally available on the Earth as a bright, fine, and white pigment. Thanks to its unique properties, such as high refractive index, chemical ...

Many books and/or papers have been published on linear generalizations of Fourier's equation in order to introduce relaxational and nonlocal e ects for the heat ux [1{9]. Describing a heat-pulse propagation with a nite ...

The study of the information measures gives rise to different measures according to the contests in which it is applied. In the contest of reliability theory and survival analysis, an ever-growing interest is given by the ...

In this thesis, after introducing some theoretical aspects of Mott insulators, pure single crystals of the Mott insulator Ca2RuO4 was investigated from an experimental point of view. The surprisingly low current density ...

One of the major technological and scientific challenges in developing autonomous machines and robots is to ensure their ethical and safe behavior towards human beings. When dealing with autonomous machines the human ...

The increasing exploitation of geo-energy resources to satisfy the needs of the world's population has also led to a focus on the risks associated with this type of human activity. It is in this context that this thesis ...

The aim of this research thesis is to broaden the treatment of stochastic processes derived from the telegraph process and Brownian motion. First, the classical telegraph process is presented. The Kolmogorov equations ...

Traditional seismological methods for the study of the Earth structure are based on the information that can be extracted from direct waves emitted by seismic sources such as earthquakes or explosions. Useful information ...
