The Durability of Composite Wood-Steel Systems

2010

Nell’ambito della valutazione e del controllo della qualità tecnologica in edilizia, la conoscenza del comportamento nel tempo dei prodotti e componenti complessi per l’edilizia, risulta aspetto fondamentale, in particolare per quei prodotti tecnologicamente “innovativi” per i quali la normativa non prevede ancora prove specifiche per valutarne la durabilità. In particolare, oggi risulta sempre più diffuso l’impiego di sistemi assemblati o con connessioni tra materiali di diversa natura, tra cui i sistemi legno-acciaio, ottenuti rinforzando le travi in legno lamellare con piastre in acciaio forate, incollati mediante una resina epossidica bicomponente. Tali sistemi, che sono stati già ogget…

Speed control of the V2 skating technique in elite cross-country skiers

2016

The aim was to examine how skiers control skiing speed using V2-skating. Subjects skied with three submaximal and maximal speeds on 100 m 4° uphill. Cycle variables and force parameters form the arms and legs were analysed. Cycle rate increased up to the maximum speed. Cycle length increased from the slowest speed to the all other speeds. Pole force and delta leg force increased up to the maximum speed. Ranges of motions and angular velocities of kick flexion and extension with knee and hip joints increased till highest submaximal speed. Speed was regulated with cycle length and rate while the latter was dominant after ∼5.0 m/s. Higher speed was reached with higher forces from arms and leg…

Seismic tomography tests applied to a gravity dam

2016

The control of the safety assessment of a dam is largely dependent on knowledge of the mechanical parameters of the actual construction, as well as its geological substratum. The application of geophysical methods can be used in existing dams to evaluate the materials (strength properties) and to verify if they match design expectations, as well as to contribute to the safety control. In particular seismics methods can considerably contribute to the examination indicating the less consolidated material and the degradation of mechanical parameters. For the characterization of the concrete conservation three seismic tomographies and a vertical seismic profile on the dam body were performed.Th…

La casa e la didattica del progetto

2020

Il progetto della casa costituisce un’esperienza fondamentale nella didattica dell’architettura; da tema che potrebbe sembrare scontato si offre invece come argomento ampio e complesso che permette di riflettere sulle ragioni dello spazio in cui si abita e sulle questioni della quotidianità. Manifestazione essenziale dell’architettura, la casa rappresenta lo spazio intimo della vita, con cui ogni abitante sviluppa sempre una relazione diretta e specifica; il suo interno esprime l’io e il proprio modo di essere, il cosmo di vi abita.

Bond Stretching and Redox Behavior in Coinage Metal Complexes of the Dichalcogenide Dianions [(SPh2P)2CEEC(PPh2S)2]2− (E=S, Se): Diradical Character …

2011

The metathetical reactions of a) [Li(tmeda)]2[(S)C(PPh2S)2] (Li2⋅3 c) with CuCl2 and b) [Li(tmeda)]2[(SPh2P)2CSSC(PPh2S)2] (Li2⋅4 c) with two equivalents of CuCl both afford the binuclear CuI complex {Cu2[(SPh2P)2CSSC(PPh2S)2]} (5 c). The elongated (C)S[BOND]S(C) bond (ca. 2.54 and 2.72 Å) of the dianionic ligand observed in the solid-state structure of 5 c indicate the presence of diradical character as supported by theoretical analyses. The treatment of [Li(tmeda)]2[(SPh2P)2CSeSeC(PPh2S)2] (Li2⋅4 b) and Li2⋅4 c with AgOSO2CF3 produce the analogous AgI derivatives, {Ag2[(SPh2P)2CEEC(PPh2S)2]} (6 b, E=Se; 6 c, E=S), respectively. The diselenide complex 6 b exhibits notably weaker Ag[BOND]Se…

A note on discrete sets

2009

We give several partial positive answers to a question of Juhasz and Szentmiklossy regarding the minimum number of discrete sets required to cover a compact space. We study the relationship between the size of discrete sets, free sequences and their closures with the cardinality of a Hausdorff space, improving known results in the literature.

Preparation and physico-chemical study of inclusion complexes between idebenone and modified beta-cyclodextrins

1996

The inclusion properties of modifiedβ-cyclodextrins (trimethyl-β-cyclodextrin, dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin) towards idebenone were compared with naturalβ-cyclodextrin. The inclusion complexes were prepared by different methods (coprecipitation, kneading, and freeze-drying) and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffractometry, UV, CD and NMR spectroscopy. The results obtained by CD and NMR spectroscopy indicate a different orientation of idebenone in dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin with respect to other cyclodextrins. Stability constants of the complexes were determined in water at various temperatures and consequently thermodynamic parameters wer…

Recipes of success : the case of pulp and paper industry 1989-2015

2017

Explaining the variation in competitive positioning actions across firms in the face of environmental change has long inspired debates in the field of strategic management. Despite the importance of these questions, little effort has been done to examine the complex interdependencies among industry, organizational attributes, and strategic actions that potentially underlie the organizational performance in one model without controlling one or more of the three factors. Most of the studies on competitive dynamics primarily have focused on independently exploring the effects of organizational characteristics or the industry structure on competitive actions and reactions, which, in turn, impac…

Genetic database development for the characterisation of Sicilian sheep population

2019

The most representative sheep in Sicily are Belicina, Comisana, Pinzirita, Barbarescaand the crossbred derived sheep from all this species. In this study, the allelic frequencies of the Sicilian sheep population were investigated. It currently represents the best way to determine the genetic identity and/or family even with limited amounts of sample or when the DNA is degraded. The aim of the study was to provide a reference data bank and to evaluate a microsatellite panel for pedigree analysis as suggested by the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG). There are various studies on European sheep, but few datasets were developed on the population of Sicilian sheep. The reference d…
