Quotients of the Dwork Pencil
2012
In this paper we investigate the geometry of the Dwork pencil in any dimension. More specifically, we study the automorphism group G of the generic fiber of the pencil over the complex projective line, and the quotients of it by various subgroups of G. In particular, we compute the Hodge numbers of these quotients via orbifold cohomology.
Groups acting freely on Calabi-Yau threefolds embedded in a product of del Pezzo surfaces
2011
In this paper, we investigate quotients of Calabi-Yau manifolds $Y$ embedded in Fano varieties $X$, which are products of two del Pezzo surfaces — with respect to groups $G$ that act freely on $Y$. In particular, we revisit some known examples and we obtain some new Calabi-Yau varieties with small Hodge numbers. The groups $G$ are subgroups of the automorphism groups of $X$, which is described in terms of the automorphism group of the two del Pezzo surfaces.
Autodeterminazione sessuale, dignità umana, laicità

L’intervento trae origine dalla Sentenza della Corte costituzionale italiana 141/2019, la quale, nella nota vicenda Tarantini, ha confermato la legittimità costituzionale dei reati di favoreggiamento e di reclutamento della prostituzione volontariamente esercitata. Il lavoro si sofferma soltanto sugli aspetti della decisione ritenuti più problematici. Nella prospettiva dell’autore, la sentenza della Consulta, attraverso un’operazione di oggettivizzazione delle preferenze altrui, accoglie una visione deresponsabilizzante dell’individuo. La Corte cioè conferma la legittimità di quegli interventi normativi sussumibili sotto le forme di un «diritto penale tutorio»: un modello normativo che, all…
The azido ligand: a useful tool in designing chain compounds exhibiting alternating ferro- and antiferro-magnetic interactions
1997
A one-pot reaction of NiII 1, CoII 2, FeII 3 and MnII 4 with 2,2A-bipyridine (bipy) and azide in water leads to [M(bipy)(N3)2]n chains where the metal ion is alternatively bridged by double end-on (EO) and end-to-end (EE) azido bridges; theoretical analysis of the variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data of 1 and 4 reveals the occurrence of intrachain alternating ferro- (through EO) and antiferro-magnetic (through EE) interactions.

Building integrated solar thermal design: assessment of performances of a low cost solar wall in a typical Italian building
2016
Abstract Present work deals with the topic of building integration of solar thermal collector (BIST) as a refurbishment measure. Such equipment, more than its main function as heating generator, plays a specific role as a building component (envelope finishes, thermal insulation layer, roof cover etc). Consequently, from a heat transfer point of view, an integrated component affects twice the global building balance: supporting the thermal plant (i.e. providing heat for final uses) and modifying the wall heat-transfer pattern (i.e. reducing thermal losses). In turn, the collector performance itself is influenced by the wall structure (back losses reduction). Present work proposes a method f…

Basil (Ocimum basilicum), a new host of Pepino mosaic virus.
2009
Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV), a member of the genus Potexvirus , was first described in 1980 on pepino ( Solanum muricatum ) and was later isolated from different wild species of the genus Solanum (formerly Lycopersicon ) (Soler et al ., 2002). PepMV has been reported in several European countries and in North America, causing disease in tomato. In July 2008, plants of basil ( Ocimum basilicum ) showing interveinal chlorosis on young leaves were observed in three greenhouses in Sicily, in the area where tomato plants were found to be infected by PepMV in 2005 (Davino et al ., 2006). The disease was transmitted mechanically to Nicotiana benthamiana , producing chlorotic spots and leaf deforma…
Economic performance assessment of building integrated photovoltaic system with battery energy storage under grid constraints
2020
Abstract In this work, a typical South Norwegian house with BIPV system is considered for potential application of on-site battery energy storage. Economic and technical operation performance analysis has revealed that such a system can perform techno-economically much better compared to its counterpart. Techno-economic performance of BIPV system with appropriate energy storage has been evaluated for grid power supply limits with appropriate energy tariff for minimizing the annualized energy cost. It has been assumed that the capital costs associated with PV has been included in the building mortgage and expected that in the near future, the grid power supply limits would be introduced and …
Impacts of electricity pricing on techno-economic performance of photovoltaic-battery centered microgrid
2021
The energy management technique in a microgrid, plays very crucial role for making it more economic viable during the electricity energy pricing dynamics. It is vital to investigate the impact of e...
A Phase-Shift Full Bridge Converter for the Energy Management of Electrolyzer Systems
2007
The purpose of this work has been the development of the supplying system for an industrial electrolyzer. The hydrogen generating device is part of a complex system constituted by a supplying photovoltaic plant, the grid and a fuel cell battery. The main aim of this electrical system is the hydrogen storage devoted to the suitable load supplying in order to obtain an optimum load profile in case of domestic consumers. The converter is linked to a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm which enables a converter to extract the maximum power from the photovoltaic plant. The energy is supplied to the electrolyzer or the storage system according to the load profile. A phase-shift control …
