This PhD thesis is concerned with the design, synthesis and the characterization of supramolecular scaffolds for biomimetic catalysis. Development of new organocatalytic systems based upon well-designed calix[4]arene ...

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a halogenated aliphatic organic compound frequently detected as pollutant in soils and ground water. A multidisciplinary approach is often required to remediate TCE polluted sites and this PhD ...

A cryptographic protocol is defined by the behaviour of the involved parties and the messages that those parties send to each other. Beside the functionality and the security that a cryptographic protocol provides, it is ...

We construct a realization Ap of A in the spaces Lp(Rd;Cm), 1 p < 1, that generates a contractive strongly continuous semigroup. First, by using form methods, we obtain generation of holomorphic semigroups when the ...

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 ...

Nowadays, ripening of salami under natural conditions has been replaced by batch production in ventilated industrial chambers.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 ...

The goal of the present study is the production of new-generation coatings suitable for hard tissue implants, intended to decrease the healing time, limit infections and rejections and improve patients' life quality. Materials ...

This research work has been produced with the aim of performing gender recognition in real-time on face images extracted from real video sequences. The task may appear easy for a human, but it is not so simple for a computer ...

The interest in the protection and conservation of Cultural Heritage and the growing role that it plays in the development ofthe national policies, represents a valid reason to focus the attention ofthe research in this ...

Olefin metathesis is one of the most important chemical transformations for the formation of carbon-carbon double bonds. The possibility to build up highly funtionalised alkenes starting from simple olefins makes this ...
