Comunicazione e divulgazione della ricerca scientifica applicata all’archeologia : il punto di vista degli young researchers
2017
International audience; What is the relationship between science and communication? And how important are cultural dissemination tools for the research survival? Recently, the archaeological study has undergone a substantial change, thanks to the introduction of non-invasive digital surveying techniques as well as physical and chemical analyses. It became therefore necessary to form a new archaeologist able to use them and to dialogue with new professional figures that move in the same direction. Also, it’s essential to promote the communication expert figures, which linked the scientific world and the public at large. Actually, Digital storytelling is a learning tool increasingly used by m…
La costruzione del paesaggio ibleo: reti deboli, segni forti
2017
The contribution deals with the theme of the dry stone walls’ landscape which characterizes the rural “Koinè” of the Hyblean plateau in South-Eastern Sicily. The essay analyses the main political-economic, social-territorial, constructive and typological features which make the dry walls network the landmark of the Ragusa province. Because of the modification of the economic-cultural context that produced it, the loss of knowledge of the construction techniques and the lack of public resources, the definition of an axiology of the contemporary landscape as premise for the establishment of adequate terms of value for the safeguard of this heritage is required.
TOWARDS AN ADVANCED CONSERVATION STRATEGY: A STRUCTURED DATABASE for SHARING 3D DOCUMENTATION between EXPERT USERS
2019
Abstract. Nowadays, the researchers in Cultural Heritage fields investigate more and more about advanced conservation strategies that comprehend the possibility to share and use 3D models and structured information related to them. One of the modern method adopted to achieve this goal is to use structured web-platform. These are online systems that can handle data, created to contain and support precise information. They simultaneously respond to the need for a common ground for different expert users and of a unique tool where to store several kinds of data, coming from heterogeneous sources. The article aims to show how it is possible to build a valid tool for the conservation and monitor…
Environmental assessment of energy valorisation of residual agrofood industry biomass in Sicily: a life cycle approach
2020
Anaerobic digestion (AD) uses biomass to produce biogas to generate heat and/or electricity. Several studies have reported that the adoption of AD may not necessarily lead to sustainable practices. For example, energy crops may cause significant impact due to the requirement of intensive agricultural practices. Then, residual biomasses are starting to be considered as alternative biomass for energy valorisation trough AD. In this context, this study assesses the potential environmental impacts related to the energy valorisation of agro-food industry waste though the Life Cycle Assessment methodology (ISO 14040). The system examined consists of a real anaerobic digester coupled with a combin…
Les stratégies de développement touristique des territoires de l’espace Rhin-Rhône : une nouvelle cohérence impulsée par le TGV
2012
International audience; The eastern branch of the Rhine-Rhône highspeed line was opened on 11th December 2011. It offers new connections in France and in Europe. Relationships between transport and economic development has often been studied in the literature. This article is an analysis of the relationship between transport, tourism and territory based on the promotion campaigns and the tourism development strategies in the territories newly connected by the high-speed line. Local projects have been catalogued and regional players have been interviewed in order to show how this new infrastructure can be appropriated to enhance the territorial reputation. An analysis of the current cooperat…
ION EXCHANGE MEMBRANE CRYSTALLIZER FOR MAGNESIUM RECOVERY FROM SEAWATER AND INDUSTRIAL BRINE
2020
The treatment and valorisation of waste brines deriving from industrial processes raised in the last years a strong interest in order to promote the whole process sustainability both in terms of minimisation of environmental impacts and raw materials recovery within a circular economy approach. With this respect, magnesium recovery from brines can be an interesting and practical example. In this work, a novel ion exchange membrane crystallizer (CrIEM1) is presented. In a CrIEM reactor, the presence of an Anion Exchange Membrane, separating a brine and an alkaline solutions, allows the passage of hydroxyl ions from the alkaline to the brine compartment, where crystallization of magnesium hyd…
