Sediments play a fundamental role in the aquatic environment, especially for their interaction with the aquatic life. However, in the last decades, due to the increasing anthropic activities, a large amount of contaminants ...

The work presented in the Ph.D. thesis deals with the definition of new fuzzy models for Group Decision Making (GDM) aimed at improving two phases of the decision process: preferences expression and aggregation. In ...

Functional dependencies (FDs) were conceived in the early '70s, and were mainly used to verify database design and assess data quality. However, to solve several issues in emerging application domains, such as the ...

My PhD research plan concerns the exploration of the structural requirements determining TRPM8 modulation. We prepared a series of N-substituted tryptamines and identified two compounds acting, respectively, as an activator ...

The need imposed by new recoveries and recent discoveries in the field of Magna Graecia ceramic leads from many sides to a new reading of old context and to a review of already known material, collected in previous centuries ...

The research project "Chemical and biological study of natural substances active on the Central Nervous System" has been focused on the possible effects of essential oils, their main constituents (in particular monoterpenes), ...

Nowadays, ripening of salami under natural conditions has been replaced by batch production in ventilated industrial chambers. Hence, the same product quality can be obtained regardless of local, environmental and climatic ...
