An interlaboratory study as useful tool for proficiency testing of chemical oxygen demand measurements using solid substrates and liquid samples with…
2009
In 2008, the first Proficiency Testing Scheme of Chemical Oxygen Demand (1stCOD-PTADG) was conducted to assess the results obtained for different research groups whose field work is mainly anaerobic digestion. This study was performed using four samples, two solid samples as raw materials and two solid samples to prepare high concentration suspended solid solutions. Invitations were sent to a large number of laboratories, mainly to anaerobic digestion research groups. Finally, thirty labs from sixteen countries agreed to participate, but for different reasons four participants could not send any data. In total, twenty-six results were reported to the COD-PT coordinator. This study showed th…
Intelligent Traction Control for Wheeled Space Vehicles
2006
This paper presents the SC-MER, safety control for Mars exploration rover, an innovative traction control scheme for wheeled mobile vehicles. The system is thought to be used on space mission rovers and is based on fuzzy logic and competitive neural networks to achieve optimal navigation on rough terrain with variable morphology. The main goal of this research is to minimize the power consumption needed during the navigation and improve the overall stability and safety of the rover itself
Eiropas Savienības ārējās robežas Latvijā tiesiskā reglamentācija
2014
ANOTĀCIJA Pētījums veltīts Eiropas Savienības ārējo robežu Latvijā normatīvā regulējuma problemātikai starptautisko, Eiropas Savienības un nacionālo tiesību jomā Latvijas kā starptautisko tiesību subjekta suverenitātes, teritoriālās jurisdikcijas un valsts robežas kontekstā saistībā ar personu brīvas pārvietošanās īstenošanu Šengenas acquis (Šengenas tiesību kopuma) darbības telpā. Valsts robeža ir jebkuras valsts suverenitātes un drošības komponente. Tās pamatu veido valsts robežas režīma normatīvais regulējums, kas Eiropas Savienības tiesībās ir jāattīsta kopsakarā ar starptautiskajām tiesībām un Latvijas, tāpat kā citu Šengenas konvencijas dalībvalstu, starptautiskajām tiesiskajām saistī…
Robots socials. Un punt de trobada entre ciència i ficció
2014
Els robots industrials i els androides de la ciència-ficció, tan diferents fins ara, comencen a confluir gràcies al ràpid desenvolupament de la robòtica social. Atesa la creixent necessitat de mà d’obra en el sector assistencial i de serveis, s’estan dissenyant robots que puguin interaccionar amb les persones, ja sigui atenent a discapacitats i gent gran, fent de recepcionistes o dependents en centres comercials, i àdhuc actuant de mestres de reforç o mainaderes. En aquest context, proliferen les iniciatives per facilitar la inspiració mútua entre tecnociència i humanitats. Qüestions ètiques com la influència de les mainaderes robòtiques sobre el psiquisme infantil, abans tractades en obres…

PROLISEAN: A New Security Protocol for Programmable Matter
2021
The vision for programmable matter is to create a material that can be reprogrammed to have different shapes and to change its physical properties on demand. They are autonomous systems composed of a huge number of independent connected elements called particles. The connections to one another form the overall shape of the system. These particles are capable of interacting with each other and take decisions based on their environment. Beyond sensing, processing, and communication capabilities, programmable matter includes actuation and motion capabilities. It could be deployed in different domains and will constitute an intelligent component of the IoT. A lot of applications can derive fro…
Le principali specie arboree esotiche invasive e le categorie forestali più vulnerabili alla loro invasione nel territorio italiano
2022
In Italia, come in gran parte d’Europa, sono state introdotte numerose specie arboree esotiche che, in alcuni casi, si sono diffuse al di fuori delle aree di impianto e si sono naturalizzate, causando impatti alla biodiversità e al paesaggio. Studi recenti hanno definito la distribuzione degli alberi esotici invasivi in diversi habitat naturali e semi-naturali a scala nazionale. Sarebbe però utile soffermarsi sulla loro distribuzione tra categorie forestali, unità di classificazione dei boschi utili alla loro gestione. In questo lavoro sono state identificate le categorie forestali attualmente o potenzialmente più soggette all’invasione da parte delle specie arboree esotiche invasive, con l…
Il centro commerciale come palinsesto aumentato. Innovazioni nell’edificio pubblico
2018
L’articolo discute alcuni caratteri architettonici del centro commerciale inteso come impianto su cui la riflessione disciplinare può operare nuovi indirizzi di intervento, attraverso una lettura genealogica con particolare riferimento alla pianta. L’ideale dell’open space, ipotesi di totale libertà della pianta senza tramezzi divisori, viene acquisito negli ultimi trent’anni del Novecento dagli architetti radicali. Le supersuperfici neutre che fanno riferimento al supermercato, lo promuovono a sintesi di ogni spazialità perché ciò sia un monito, espresso attraverso l’evocazione di un universo distopico in cui ogni significato sociale si esprimerà attraverso la produzione e la vendita delle…
L'intervento di Roberto Calandra per lo Steri palermitano tra conservazione e innovazione
2015
Il presente saggio mira ad illustrare l’intervento di restauro, curato da un’équipe di lavoro coordinata da Roberto Calandra, del trecentesco Palazzo Chiaramonte, da adibire a sede del rettorato dell’Università di Palermo. Il lavoro offre un significativo contributo alla maturazione della cultura architettonica negli anni tra il 1972 e il 1998 (durata del cantiere) ponendosi in una posizione di equilibrio tra le asserzioni della Carta del restauro del 1972, di matrice brandiana, e le nuove pulsioni di una conservazione integrale.
A mesh less approch based upon Radial basis function Hermite collocation method for predicting the cooling and the freezing times of foods
2005
This work presents a meshless numerical scheme for the solution of time dependent non linear heat transfer problems in terms of a radial basis function Hermite collocation approach. The proposed scheme is applied to foodstuff's samples during freezing process; evaluation of the time evolution of the temperature profile along the sample, as well as at the core, is carried out. The moving phase-change zone is identified in the domain and plotted at several timesteps. The robustness of the proposed scheme is tested by a comparison of the obtained numerical results with those found using a Finite Volume Method and with experimental results.
