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 ...

In the last decade the Housing demand has become heterogeneous and transversal: from the socio-economic demand for job and housing, to the environmental one for energy supply and sustainability, up to the one for the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In accordo con i criteri della progettazione sismica tradizionale, la dissipazione dell’energia sismica in ingresso nei telai sismo-resistenti avviene in alcune zone degli elementi strutturali che vengono impegnate in campo ...
