The aim of this PhD work is to provide indications on comfort in the case of the Man-Machine interface and to guarantee all the tools for evaluating them. In order to analyze comfort, it was necessary to carry out a ...

The study of the static and dynamic behaviour of the architectural heritage of historical-artistic value made up of rigid stone blocks is a topic of particular interest in the field of modern Seismic Engineering. Such ...

The main goal of this dissertation is the study of the effects induced by quantum confinement in transition-metal oxides quantum wells (QWs). The field of possible applications of oxide-based heterostructures (oxide-based ...

The research was aimed at developing a technical-economic governance model for the enhancement of railway assets and in particular of unmanned or underused stations. Through the analysis of the most recent examples of ...

Main objective of this PhD thesis is the development of a new generation of self-healing multifunctional composites able to overcome some of the current limitations of aeronautical materials, such as: absence of auto-repair ...

The main aim of the present research work is to project and develop very large scale electronic integrated circuits, with particular attention to the ones devoted to image processing applications and the related topics. ...

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites represent a class of advanced materials whose use has spread from the aeronautical, mechanical and naval industry to civil infrastructure, which has generated a new set of ...

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are integrations of computation with physical processes. Applications of CPS arguably have the potential to overshadow the 20-th century IT revolution. Nowadays, CPSs application to many ...

This dissertation presents continuum and discrete approaches to the statics of masonry vaults. The thrust surface concept is introduced within Heyman’s safe theorem and extends the funicular curve to the3D case. A variational ...

Recently, the idea of valorizing industrial agro-food wastes and microalgal biomass, through an efficient recovery of their major bioactive constituents to be used as ingredients in food, feed, pharmaceutical and cosmetic ...
