Genesis and mechanism of rainfall-induced hyperconcentrated flows in granular soils
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-06-13)
Heavy rainfall on steep hillslopes may cause either shallow landslides or soil superficial erosion and different flow-type phenomena may originate in adjacent/overlapping source areas. Consequently, great amount of water ...
Detecting and indexing moving objects for Behavior Analysis by Video and Audio Interpretation
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-02-28)
In the last decades we have assisted to a growing need for security in many public environments. According
to a study recently conducted by the European Security Observatory, one half of the entire population is
worried ...
Molecular pathways involved in metabolic control of CCL5 in adipocytes
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-03-21)
Obesity is a chronic disorder characterized by a tonic low-grade
activation of the innate immune system that affects steady-state measures of
metabolic homeostasis over time. In addition, obesity is often accompanied ...
Bidirectional Metering Advancements and Applications to Demand Response Resource Management
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-03-10)
The power grid is an electric system capable of performing electricity generation, transmission,
distribution and control. Nowadays it has been subjected to a deep transformation, which will reshape
it completely. In ...
Flexible Barrier Materials for Improving the Durability of Photovoltaic Devices
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-04-28)
The economic viability of photovoltaic (PV) devices is strongly dependent upon equipment cost and durability. During their usage, these devices are exposed to several atmospheric degradation agents and thus they need to ...
Development of a model-based diagnosis algorithm oriented towards solid oxide fuel cell systems: approach and application
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-07-07)
The present dissertation illustrates the complete procedure of developing a model-based
diagnosis algorithm and shows its application to a pre-commercial Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC)
system. The main motivations of this ...
Experimental and numerical characterization of heating domestic appliances for energetic efficiency improvement
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-12-13)
Every year 5 million of boilers for domestic heating are sold in the European Union (EU). Because heating contributes to more than 20% to the whole energy use in the EU strategies for energy saving are of great ...
A Study on Defects in Organic Semiconductors for Field Effect Transistors
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-03-20)
The understanding and the modeling of mechanisms involved in organic semiconductors are the aims of this Ph.D. thesis. In particular, the document focuses the attention on the role played by organic semiconductor defectson ...
From graphene synthesis to applications
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-10-13)
Graphene is the first two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystal available to us.
Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has captured the attention and the
imagination of worldwide researchers thank to its supreme properties.
Catalytic ...
Innovative catalysts for process intensification of methane reforming and propane dehydrogenation reactions
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-06-27)
In the early decade, a rapid increase in oil consumption was recorded, that led to a widening between the predicted demand for oil and the known oil reserves. Such trend, mainly due to the growing new economies, is causing ...
