Comparison between the MHFEM formulation and a 2nd spatial order FV formulation of the linear ground problem
2008
Comparison of different 2nd order formulations for the solution of the 2D groundwater flow problem over irregular triangular meshes
2009
Mixed and Mixed Hybrid Finite Elements (MHFE) methods have been widely used in the last decade for simulation of groundwater flow problem, petroleum reservoir problems, potential flow problems, etc. The main advantage of these methods is that, unlike the classical Galerkin approach, they guarantee local and global mass balance, as well the flux continuity between inter-element sides. The simple shape of the control volume, where the mass conservation is satisfied, makes also easier to couple this technique with a Finite Volume technique in the time splitting approach for the solution of advection-dispersion problems. In the present paper, a new MHFE formulation is proposed for the solution …
Guided Wave Techniques for Damage Detection in Composite Aerospace Structures
2018
Composite materials make up an increasing portion of today’s aerospace structures (see, e.g. Boeing 787 and Airbus 380). These aircrafts’ fuselage, for example, is composed of a laminated composite skin connected to composite stringers and C-frames. Of primary importance is the detection of damage in these built-up structures, whether caused by the manufacturing process or in service (e.g. impacts). A related issue is the characterization of the composite (visco)elastic mechanical properties, that can also be related to the quantification of potential damage. Guided elastic waves propagating in the ~100s kHz regime lend themselves to provide the necessary sensitivity to these two conditions…
Wooden, gypsum and cork floor in the Sicilian construction tradition
2014
This presentation deals with a part of a wider and more complex outline of the Sicilian construction tradition characterised by the presence of gypsum technologies. Gypsum is a very common material used in the island for the realisation of all building elements; its use is commonly spread throughout Sicily thanks to several and wide superficial out crops located in some parts of the island that make this material very easy to find. This presentation is particularly focused on wooden and gypsum floors found and analysed during searches and surveys in the regional area. Outline on criteria for some consistent and appropriate consolidation and restoration interventions are here proposed.

First measurement of the |t|-dependence of coherent J/ψ photonuclear production
2021
The first measurement of the dependence on $|t|$, the square of the momentum transferred between the incoming and outgoing target nucleus, of coherent J/ψ photoproduction is presented. The data were measured with the ALICE detector in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV with the J/$\psi$ produced in the central rapidity region $|y| < 0.8$, which corresponds to the small Bjorken-$x$ range $(0.3 − 1.4) \times 10 ^{−3}$. The measured $|t|$-dependence is not described by computations based only on the Pb nuclear form factor, while the photonuclear cross section is better reproduced by models including shadowing according t…

Higgs and flavour phenomenology at the LHC era
2017
El pasado julio de 2012 la última pieza que restaba por comprobar del Modelo Estándar (SM) -el bosón de Higgs- fue detectada por los dos grandes experimentos multipropósito del CERN a una energía de 125 GeV. El Modelo Estándar es el marco teórico en el que se describen tres, de las cuatro interacciones fundamentales conocidas, que rigen la dinámica de todas las partículas subatómicas conocidas y que han sido observadas experimentalmente. En él se integran, pero no unifican, la teoría electrodébil -que a su vez conjuga electromagnetismo e interacción débil- y la cromodinámica cuántica, asociada a la interacción nuclear fuerte. El contenido en partículas fundamentales se puede dividir en tres…
Agrupaciones autónomas de personas ante el impuesto sobre el valor añadido
2021
This work carries out the delimitation of the exemption in the European V.A.T., of the benefits made to its members, by the autonomous groups of people, highlighting the distinctions made by the community case law, with particular attention to the subjective element of the exemption.
