Fuzzy risk analysis of a modern gamma-ray industrial irradiator
2011
Fuzzy fault tree analyses were used to investigate accident scenarios that involve radiological exposure to operators working in industrial gamma-ray irradiation facilities. The HEART method, a first generation human reliability analysis method, was used to evaluate the probability of adverse human error in these analyses. This technique was modified on the basis of fuzzy set theory to more directly take into account the uncertainties in the error-promoting factors on which the methodology is based. Moreover, with regard to some identified accident scenarios, fuzzy radiological exposure risk, expressed in terms of potential annual death, was evaluated. The calculated fuzzy risks for the exa…
Processi innovativi e sostenibili per il trattamento di rifiuti e acque reflue mediante l’utilizzo di acqua supercritica
2022
Il lavoro presentato in questa tesi è basato principalmente sullo sfruttamento dei processi termochimici in presenza di acqua supercritica per lo smaltimento dei rifiuti. Dipendentemente dalla tipologia di questi ultimi è possibile utilizzare processi diversi per scopi diversi. Nell’ottica di una completa distruzione delle componenti inquinanti presenti nel refluo è stato preso in considerazione un trattamento di ossidazione in acqua supercritica (SCWO); se invece l’obiettivo è quello di valorizzare uno scarto è possibile sfruttare il processo di gassificazione in acqua supercritica (SCWG). Dopo una breve introduzione per inquadrare il problema dei rifiuti con gli attuali metodi di trattame…
Biochemical methane potential (BMP) of solid organic substrates: evaluation of anaerobic biodegradability using data from an international interlabor…
2011
Background: This paper describes results obtained for different participating research groups in an interlaboratory study related to biochemical methane potential (BMP). In this research work, all experimental conditions influencing the test such as inoculum, substrate characteristics and experimental conditions were investigated. The study was performed using four substrates: three positive control substrates (starch, cellulose and gelatine), and one raw biomass material (mung bean) at two different inoculum to substrate ratios (ISR). Results: The average methane yields for starch, cellulose, gelatine and mung bean at ISR of 2 and 1 were 350 ± 33, 350 ± 29, 380 ± 42, 370 ± 36 and 370 ± 35 …
La valutazione delle attività neurodidattiche. Fondamenti, tecniche e strumenti.
2022
Le attività neurodidattiche si fondano sulla commistione tra le Scienze dell’Educazione e le Neuroscienze. Oggi, il cammino intrapreso da quest’ambito di ricerca intende fornire preziosi apporti alla prassi educativo-didattica; tuttavia, se da un lato esso registra un grande fervore sia in ambito nazionale sia soprattutto nel panorama internazionale, dall’altro stenta a convertire le nuove consapevolezze apprese in solide basi del proprio percorso. Se il Brain-based learning comincia a campeggiare nel contesto didattico italiano, è parimenti vero che la formazione all’utilizzo dei modelli di attività neurodidattiche richiede l’implementazione della riflessione, della verifica continua delle…
Oxygen transfer performance of unbaffled stirred vessels in view of their use as biochemical reactors for animal cell growth
2012
Cultivation of microorganisms, plants or animal cells requires liquid agitation in order to ensure oxygen and nutrient transfer and to maintain cell suspension. However, In such suspensions both mechanical agitation and sparging aeration can cause cell death. Many studies on animal cell damage due to mechanical agitation and sparging aeration have shown that mechanical damage of freely suspended animal cells is in most cases associated with bursting bubbles at the air–liquid interface (Barrett et al., 2010, Nienow et al., 1996). Gas bubbles are usually generated by direct air sparging to propagate oxygen in a culture suspension. Mechanical agitation may also introduce gas bubbles to the cul…
Technologies for cultivation and exploitation of microalgae in industrial applications
2020
This thesis work is focused on technologies for the development of the microalgal industry. During this 3-years PhD work several themes were addressed. Section 1 consists in a literature review concerning the general features of microalgae, their composition and a description of the photosynthetic process. Furthermore, themes such as biosynthetic pathways, growth kinetics, microalgae cultivation and their applications are reviewed. Section 2 focuses on the genetic manipulation of microalgae aimed at producing a vitamin B12-enriched food supplement. In this case, the human intrinsic factor gene, was inserted in the genome of the microalgae Chlamydomonas reinardhtii in order to integrate new …

Advancements in DEMO WCLL breeding blanket design and integration
2018
The water-cooled lithium-lead breeding blanket is a candidate option for the European Demonstration Power Plant (DEMO) nuclear fusion reactor. This breeding blanket concept relies on the liquid lithium-lead as breeder-multiplier, pressurized water as coolant, and EUROFER as structural material. The current design is based on DEMO 2015 specifications and represents the follow-up of the design developed in 2015. The single-module-segment approach is employed. This is constituted by a basic geometry repeated along the poloidal direction. The power is removed by means of radial-toroidal (i.e., horizontal) water cooling tubes in the breeding zone. The lithium-lead flows in a radial-poloidal dire…
Development and application of multiscale procedures for the thermomechanical analysis of the DEMO Water-Cooled Lithium Lead Breeding Blanket
2022
The Breeding Blanket is an essential component of the DEMO fusion reactor and its design is one of the pivotal purposes of the DEMO project. Indeed, this component has to withstand severe operating conditions, as it is directly exposed to the plasma, making its design particularly challenging. In particular, the Water-Cooled Lithium-Lead (WCLL) BB concept is one of the candidates currently considered for the conceptual design of the European DEMO reactor. The development of a robust BB system is crucial for the design of the whole DEMO reactor and the thermo-mechanical assessment of the whole BB segments is mandatory to allow checking their structural performances in different loading scena…
