Today, the increasingly serious lack of resources and the obsolescence of the plants present on the whole planet led to develop new ways that go beyond “traditional” chemical engineering. The research is now focusing on ...

Purpose of the PhD thesis was to develop dedicated lipid nanostructured vectors with tailored features (in terms of size, surface charge, load capability, stimuli responsive ability and stability) through the design of ...

The increase in dietary-intake-related illnesses, such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes and cancer, have made in recent years the development of health-and-wellness promoting foods a priority of ...

Controlled release systems for therapeutic drugs have received extensive attention in recent years, due to their great clinical potential. Biodegradable microspheres are well-recognized systems to control the release rate ...

The research of this PhD thesis has been focused on the study and realization of high cell density cultivation (HCDC) systems with auxotrophic strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, these latter to be used as hosts ...

The interest in the production of novel polymer/active compound composites has increased over time as a response to the main issues encountered in the pharmaceutical field. Nowadays, polymeric carriers are employed to ...

The great interest of the research activity in food allergies could be attributed to the increase of allergic reactions all over the world not only in infants but even in adult age. As an alternative to the development of ...

This research work rises from collaborative activities between Alenia Aeronautica (Pomigliano D’Arco, Napoli) and the Industrial Engineering Department of University of Salerno. One of the biggest challenge facing materials ...

Kinematically redundant robots possess more degrees of freedom than those strictly required to execute a given task. Such a charac- teristic gives the system a higher degree of dexterity and mobility that can be exploited ...

In decentralized systems, the control loop between robots, sensors, actuators and processing units does not close on the same physical device, but through a communication network on which the explicit or implicit exchange ...
