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 ...

The main focus of the present work is addressed to the field of organic electronics, which has attracted increasing interest for the development of flexible, large area and low cost electronic applications, from light ...

A photovoltaic field is typically composed by series-connected panels, thus composing strings, which are then connected in parallel. By this way, the current and the voltage values of the photovoltaic generator are adapted ...

In this thesis, we investigate the use of the most fundamental elements; cables for tension and bars for compression, in the search for the most efficient bridges. Stable arrangements of these elements are called tensegrity ...

The manuscript presents the study that led to the design, implementation and testing of an innovative system for the direct measurement, in the laboratory, of the bed shear stress of flows in open channel. The related ...

Thermal processing is the major processing technology in the food industry and its purpose is to extend the shelf life of food products without compromising food safety. Apart from the positive effect of food treatments, such ...

The theme of the recovery of historical buildings is current, especially in a period in which, for known economic, financial, social and political reasons, interventions of new constructions and investment have declined ...

Collapse mechanism control is universally recognized as one of the primary goals of the structural design process. The aim is to avoid partial collapse mechanisms, such as soft storey mechanisms, which are unsatisfactory ...

As a consequence of the rapid growth of population in urban areas, water use and reuse has become a major concern, leading to an urgent imperative of developing effective and affordable technologies for the treatment of ...
