TAPPARELLA AVVOLGIBILE A SISTEMA DESMODROMICO

La presente invenzione riguarda una tapparella avvolgibile a sistema desmodromico. La tapparella della presente invenzione è dotata di un meccanismo che consente l'apertura delle lamelle sfruttando il peso stesso della tapparella. L'apertura delle lamelle viene attuata grazie alla particolare geometria del meccanismo e mediante l'interazione tra le guide e le parti scorrevoli della tapparella. La sua geometria riesce a determinare l’apertura o la chiusura delle lamelle. The present invention relates to a roller shutter with a desmodromic-system. The shutter of the present invention is provided with a mechanism allowing the slats to be opened by exploiting the weight of the blind itself. The…

Life cycle assessment of a new industrial process for sustainable construction materials

One of the key sectors for the green transition of European countries is construction, that is more and more asked to evolve towards innovative ecological binders and green cost-effective processes. The construction sector is highly energy intensive, and the cement production is one of the main sources of environmental pollution in the world. In this regard, GeoPolymers (GP) seem to be promising for a sustainable replacement of cementitious materials. Therefore, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the industrial production of different formulations of Geopolymer Concrete (GC) was performed in this study after scaling up the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) from a laboratory scale to an industrial …

A proposal for sorting a projects portfolio through the ELECTRE TRI method focused on the European strategy

In recent years, the partnerships between private companies and public organizations are becoming key elements for improving local development, territorial competitiveness, and delivering innovation. These collaborations are widely promoted by the European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation thanks to the provision of several instruments, such as Horizon 2020. In this context, competitiveness's improvement of the territory employing research and innovation actions is supported by the technological districts. In Sicily, the AgroBioPesca district has attempted a strategic action named "Call for ideas" in order to design its own roadmap for research and innovation in the agri-food …

Ranking of occupational health and safety risks by a multi-criteria perspective: Inclusion of human factors and application of VIKOR

Nowadays, the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is more and more recognized as a crucial process to be properly managed and continuously improved by every organization. Primarily addressed to prevent workers’ injuries and diseases, it positively impacts on productivity, competitiveness and reputation as well as it con-tributes to cost savings in general. OHS management is grounded upon the risk assessment results, on the basis of which defining corrective measures to be taken to reduce risks to acceptable values. In this regard, the paper proposes a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) based methodology addressed to the occupational risks prioritization. In order to overcome the shortco…

SHIPPING 4.0: GENERAL FRAMEWORK FOR A NEW CYBERSHIPPING ERA

The fourth industrial revolution, also referred to as Industry 4.0, is a disruptive transformation process aimed which, by means of digital technologies, is substantially innovating the value creation processes in all industry contexts. With such premise, industry 4.0 is in particular expected to have a substantial impact on the maritime transport and shipping sectors, where smart ships and autonomous vessels are expected to be the building blocks of a new interconnected maritime ecosystem. The application of Industry 4.0 principles to the shipping domain (Shipping 4.0) has thus raised a scientific debate about the efficiency, sustainability, and safety of maritime transport. Recent researc…
