Ambient seismic noise to image and monitor the propagation medium elastic properties in georesource exploration and exploitation areas
(2021-11-10)
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 ...
Electical properties of pure and Co-substituted ZnO thin films investigated by UV-assisted SPM experiments
(2018-06-28)
ZnO is an intrinsic n-type, wide band-gap (3.4 eV at 0 K), semiconductor which has been attracted the interest of the scientific community for several decades. More recently, ZnO has caught a renewed interest due to the ...
Nonlocal and nonlinear transport theories at nanoscale: applications to wave propagation
(2021-04-23)
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 ...
Methodologies for environmental risks assessment related to the exploitation of energy geo-resources
(2021-10-05)
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 ...
Event triggering and deep learning for particle identification in KM3NeT
(2018-04-11)
Neutrino astronomy experiments like KM3NeT allow to survey the Universe leveraging
the properties of neutrinos of being electrically neutral and weakly interacting particles,
making them a suitable messenger. Observing ...
Detailed study of the 2010-2014 Pollino (Italy) seismic sequence with absorption and scattering imaging of the surrounding area
(2020-02-04)
A detailed study of the seismic sequence occurred in the western sector of the
Pollino Range (Southern Italy) between 2010 and 2014, and an imaging of the
surrounding area, have been performed in this thesis. The sequence, ...
Noncoercive nonlinear elliptic equations in unbounded domains
(2020-01-02)
This research thesis is mainly devoted to the study of noncoercive Dirich let problems with discontinuous coefficients in unbounded domains. The
presence of the noncoercive operator does not allow us to use classical the ...
New features exhibited by transition metal pnictides
(2020-02-05)
Superconductivity under pressure was recently discovered in two transition metal pnictides
belonging to the Pnma space group, namely CrAs [1, 2] and MnP [3], in the vicinity of a magnetic
phase, respectively at the ...
Tailoring the structural and surface properties of TiO2 thin films and TiO2-based nanolayers, with heat treatments, layer thickness, and oxide mixtures
(2021-12-15)
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 ...
A game theoretical approach to safe decision making system development for autonomous machines
(2021-03-20)
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 ...
