Traditional materials (steel, concrete, timber and masonry) still dominate the building industry. However new materials are constantly being explored by engineers and scientists due to their numerous advantages offered. With ...

Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are evolutionarily conserved components of the innate immune system. They have a broad spectrum of action against bacteria, fungi and viruses. Therefore, AMP are studied as probable substitutes ...

L'analisi dei dati ad alta dimensione è diventata negli ultimi anni un argomento di ricerca popolare, a causa dell'emergere di svariate applicazioni in diversi campi scientifici in cui si rende necessario lavorare con ...

How often do we try to get the best result with the least effort, spend as little time as possible to perform a task or make the most of the resources available in the workplace? In everyday life, the word ”optimize” is ...

In this PhD thesis work, Ruthenium catalysts were covalently and non-covalently linked to carbon-based nanomaterials, in order to give self-repairing ability to the aeronautical materials. These supported catalysts have ...

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 ...

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites represent a class of advanced materials whose use has spread from the aeronautical, mechanical and naval industry to civil infrastructure, which has generated a new set of ...

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 ...

In the Countries of the Western Europe, present weather changes have caused a growing attention to the use of water resources. In particular, in Italy the summer of 2017 – characterized by a prolonged drought – caused ...

Superconducting materials are used in several applications among which the large-scale ones take advantage of the high energy transport capabilities of superconductors due to the low losses in electrical conduction. From ...
