A methodology based on demand side management approaches for an optimal planning of MV-LV grid expansion in highly congested urban areas
Nowadays, a renewed and growing interest is involving the Demand Side Management (DSM) techniques, since they are regarded as suitable tools in Distribution Networks planning. The following drivers trigger off this revitalisation: • The electric demand in urban contexts is growing beyond the expectations, owing to correspondingly increased needs of comfort (air-conditioning, indoor air quality, housekeeping, communication, etc.), which can be fulfilled through the electric end-uses with high quality, compliance with environmental regulations and competitive economic benefits. • This sudden higher pressure of the demand on the local Electric System is bound to force the Distributors to make …
Conceptual design and simulation of a water Cherenkov muon veto for the XENON1T experiment
XENON is a direct detection dark matter project, consisting of a time projection chamber (TPC) that uses xenon in double phase as a sensitive detection medium. XENON100, located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy, is one of the most sensitive experiments of its field. During the operation of XENON100, the design and construction of the next generation detector (of ton-scale mass) of the XENON project, XENON1T, is taking place. XENON1T is being installed at LNGS as well. It has the goal to reduce the background by two orders of magnitude compared to XENON100, aiming at a sensitivity of $2 \cdot 10^{-47} \mathrm{cm}^{\mathrm{2}}$ for a WIMP mass of 50 GeV/c$^{2}$. With…
Italian cancer figures, report 2014: Prevalence and cure of cancer in Italy
This Report intends to estimate the total number of people still alive in 2010 after cancer diagnosis in Italy, regardless of the time since diagnosis, and to project these estimates to 2015. This study is also aimed to estimate the number of already cured cancer patients, whose mortality rates have become undistinguishable from that of the general population of the same age and sex.The study took advantage of the information from the AIRTUM database, which included 29 Cancer Registries (covering 21 million people, 35% of the Italian population). A total of 1,624,533 cancer cases diagnosed between 1976 and 2009 contributed to the study. For each registry, the observed prevalence was calcula…
