Energy use efficiency of livestock farms in a mountain area of Sicily

2009

The research aimed to evaluate the performance (in terms of energy) of livestock farms located in a Mediterranean mountain area and characterized by different stocking rates. Farm data were collected from in-person interviews of farmers of 58 farms representative of the livestock farms of the Madonie and Nebrodi mountains area (Sicily, Italy), including several parameters related to farm characteristics, animal, crop and pasture management. The farm parameters were used to calculate input and output energy values from which agroecosystem performance indicators were derived. Increasing stocking rate corresponded to a more than proportional increase in total inputs per unit area because of a …

Radiation-hard semiconductor detectors for SuperLHC

2005

An option of increasing the luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN to 10^35 cm^(- 2) s(- 1) has been envisaged to extend the physics reach of the machine. An efficient tracking down to a few centimetres from the interaction point will be required to exploit the physics potential of the upgraded LHC. As a consequence, the semiconductor detectors close to the interaction region will receive severe doses of fast hadron irradiation and the inner tracker detectors will need to survive fast hadron fluences of up to above 1016 cm 2. The CERN-RD50 project ''Development of Radiation Hard Semiconductor Devices for Very High Luminosity Colliders'' has been established in 2002 to explore…
