Pre- and syn-eruptive geochemistry of volcanic gases from Soufriere Hills of Montserrat, West Indies
1998
International audience; Soufriere Hills fumaroles contained magmaderived volatiles before and during the eruption initiated in 1995 but also preserved a typical and quite steady hydrothermal coinposition. Chemical changes due to increased boiling and a greater input of oxidizing magmatic gas occurred only at Galway's Soufriere, the most active fumarolic field. Hydrothermal buffering of the fumaroles has been favoured by their remote location (!-2 km) froin the eruptive vents and by a preferential degassing of the uprising magma through intrusive conduits under the crater. High temperature (720øC) gas collected froin the extruding lava dome in Feb. 1996 was chemically and isotopically repres…
Volatile Profiles of Emissions from Different Activities Analyzed Using Canister Samplers and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) Analysis: …
2017
The objective of present study was to identify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from several sources (fuels, traffic, landfills, coffee roasting, a street-food laboratory, building work, indoor use of incense and candles, a dental laboratory, etc.) located in Palermo (Italy) by using canister autosamplers and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique. In this study, 181 VOCs were monitored. In the atmosphere of Palermo city, propane, butane, isopentane, methyl pentane, hexane, benzene, toluene, meta- and para-xylene, 1,2,4 trimethyl benzene, 1,3,5 trimethyl benzene, ethylbenzene, 4 ethyl toluene and heptane were identified and quantified in all sampling sites.
15 Minute City Concept and Palermo Case Study
Sustainable urban mobility models and decarbonization in transportation have been discussed globally for decades. Yet the problem is not just decarbonization and the solution is not limited to green technology alone. Particularly, Covid-19 brought to light other important and ingrained problems of cities such as inequality of accessibility, the marginalization of some urban, peri-urban, rural territories and the emergence of social exclusion. In order to find a way out from these problems, practical, easily accessible, comfortable, and cheap alternatives should be provided to citizens and the use of private vehicles should be minimized. However, no matter how many alternative transportation…
15 Minute City Concept. A Glance at the Palermo Case Study
2022
Giving people opportunities for green technology and offering them new transportation modes are not sufficient methods for the transition to a sustainable mobility model. With the increasing importance of time, minimizing the daily travel time of people seems to be one of the crucial steps to be taken. 15 Minute City is one of the latest popular concepts assuring to reduce daily travel time and improve quality of life while enhancing environmental conditions. This paper will have a look at the concept regarding the case study of Palermo, one of the cities with the most intense traffic problems in Europe.
12 gennaio 1848: a Palermo inizia la Primavera dei popoli
2016
Quanto accade a Palermo il 12 gennaio 1848 resterà per sempre tra gli annali del tempo come un evento che apre una nuova stagione europea passata alla storia con la definizione di “Primavera dei popoli”. Al di là dell’esito che nell’immediato se ne ha in Sicilia, quelle che da quest’isola si riverberano ben presto in tutta Europa sono insurrezioni destinate a mutare società e nazioni del Vecchio continente.
Pozos y mafiosos. La inacabada transición del mercado del agua a la gestión colectiva en el Palermo sel siglo XX
2018
La creación de los consorcios de riego, en la primera posguerra, revolucionó los equilibrios sociales e hidráulicos de las regiones citrícolas de Palermo (Italia). En este artículo, a través de fuentes primarias, se analizan las relaciones conflictivas entre los agricultores usuarios, los nuevos y controvertidos organismos de gestión colectiva, los propietarios de pozos, acusados de dominar el mercado de las aguas, y los distribuidores, enjuiciados por pertenecer a la mafia en los años fascistas.

University incubator as catalyst of resources for academic spin-offs. The case of ARCA Consortium
2013
Today we can observe an increasing proliferation of new academic spin-off initiatives aimed to transfer knowledge from the university to the market. Due to their strategic role in enhancing the development of technological innovation, academic spin-offs can attain high levels of social performance and consonance with their environment. At the same time, they must overcome many difficulties if they are to achieve a high level of financial performance and growth. They are often considered to be mere vehicles for the transmission of knowledge, implying that their entrepreneurial potential is not fully exploited. According to the Resource Based View (RBV) the competitive disadvantage of an acad…
