In this thesis two adaptive Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques for PhotoVoltaic (PV) applications, which are based on two different real-time identification procedures are proposed. The algorithms are implemented ...

Landslides - alone or in combination with other natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods etc. - Represent a major cause of casualties and property damage in terms of direct and indirect costs. For ...

The hydraulic processes that control the water movements through the soil strictly depend on the configuration and distribution of the soil pores... [edited by author]

Cloud computing services represent the actual computation delivery to the most of customer communities. Such services are regulated by a contract called Service Level Agreement (SLA), cosigned between customers and ...

This thesis proposes a conceptual formulation for controlling the resulting mechanical properties of Recycled Aggregate Concretes (RACs) via generalised mix-design rules intended at covering the specific features of ...

Principale obiettivo della presente ricerca è stato quello di studiare ed applicare la tecnologia di decontaminazione elettrocinetica per la bonifica di sedimenti marini co-contaminati da metalli pesanti ed IPA, utilizzando ...

Recovering industrial waste and contaminated soil is one of the main objectives in environmental management. Nowadays in Italy, landfilling is responsible for up to 40% of total soil contamination and up to 50% of the ...

Since the 1940s, the ever-increasing use of antibiotics for human, veterinary and agricultural purposes, contributes to their continuous release into the environment due to incomplete metabolism or due to disposal of unused ...

Le aree costiere rappresentano sistemi naturali del tutto unici, così come unici sono i fenomeni che le caratterizzano. L’erosione dei litorali, divenuta ormai un fenomeno di interesse planetario, ha spinto verso ...

This research is focused on the production of structures of biomedical interest using supercritical assisted processes: Supercritical freeze extraction, Supercritical gel drying and Supercritical phase separation. These ...
