The Poisson coefficient, or Poisson’s Ratio, plays a fundamental role in the Continuum Mechanics theory, which represents the relationship between lateral contraction and longitudinal elongation of a material subjected to ...

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 ...

In the last twenty years the school has been hit by a succession of disruptive and unknown innovations. In particular, there is institutional talk for the first time of ascertaining competences in DPR 323-98 (reform of ...

The Extended Theories of Gravity (ETG) have become one of the most investigated the- oretical proposals among the alternative explanations for the observed flatness of galaxy rotation curves, related to the dark matter ...

This PhD thesis focuses on the electronic and optoelectronic characterization of devices based on low-dimensional materials and on a first approach to fabrication of 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) field effect ...

The gravitational field’s energy and momentum definitions are treated in extensive gravitation theories, through the generalization of the energymomentum pseudotensor, defined by Einstein in general relativity. This ...

The transport properties of superconducting tapes and wires for the electrotechnical applications have been investigated. The characterization measurements were carried out in our laboratory with particular attention ...

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 ...

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 ...

This study presents new numerical methods for solving differential/integral equations of interest in applications. This thesis consists of four parts. Part I presents numerical methods for solving ordinary differential ...
