Combined adsorption and solar driven photocatalysis processes for the removal of persistent contaminants from water by highly porous nanocomposite aerogels
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2021-07-26)Water is a very important resource for human and ecosystem. However, in recent years the presence of pollutants, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal cares, dyes, and pesticides deriving from industrial, agricultural, ... -
Solid state dynamic behaviour of organic molecules
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2020-02-13)The main interactions characterizing the crystals of organic molecules are weak interactions such as hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, hydrophobic interactions, etc.1 Considering the weak nature of the forces involved, ... -
Theoretical and phenomenological implications of fundamental principles in physics
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2020-02-04)The relentless quest for unraveling the true mechanisms that govern the Nature we observe and are part of have led physicists to rely on the adoption of fundamental principles. These assumptions have acted as a guiding ... -
Dynamical control of engineered stimuli-responsive materials: synthesis and optimization of active micro-vesicles
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2020-02-14)The aim of this PhD project is the combination of a pH clock reaction (the enzymatic urea-urease reaction) with pH-responsive materials to generate a chemo-mechanical coupling. A clock reaction is characterized by a ... -
Stereoselectivity in asymmetric processes and molecular assemblies
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2020-02-19)The aim of this thesis was to explore different areas of organic chemistry in which the stereocontrol in the design of chemical processes and/or molecular assemblies is necessary. Therefore, the stereoselectivity in ... -
Polyhedral analysis and branch and cut algorithms for some NP-hard spanning subgraph problems
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2020-01-07)There is a widespread need to use a quantitative approach for the solution of decision problems that arise in many different areas of real life. The goal is to choose which decisions to take to manage a real system as ... -
A game theoretical approach to safe decision making system development for autonomous machines
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 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 ... -
Comparative studies on the physiological adaption of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum to envirnmental xenobiotics from invertebrate to mammals
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2021-04-20)Mitochondria are critical for numerous cellular and biochemical processes. The reciprocal interaction between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum impacts several cellular functions. In cellular and animal models, ... -
Synthesis of new water reducer superplasticizers for building materials
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2021-07-18)This industrial PhD project is focused on the development of new additives called Superplasticizers (SPs) that are particularly interesting for the engineering of construction field. These attracting molecules are organic ... -
Exploring the transport properties of quantum systems on different lenght scales
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2021-11-10)In this thesis, after introducing some theoretical aspects of Mott insulators, pure single crystals of the Mott insulator Ca2RuO4 was investigated from an experimental point of view. The surprisingly low current density ... -
Noncoercive nonlinear elliptic equations in unbounded domains
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 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 ... -
Applied superconductivity to accelerator magnets
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2020-09-24)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 ... -
New applications of Ester/Amide surrogates in organic synthesis
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2021-04-22)Masked esters/amides are scaffolds endowed with a great potential in the field of organic synthesis. This PhD project has been conceived, in the context of non-covalent organocatalysis, with the aim to exploit unsaturated ... -
Supported gold nanoparticles as promising catalysts in sustainable organic synthesis
