Core and Shell: facciate storiche e nuovi edifici. Il caso dell’ex Chelsea and Fulham Power Station a Londra
2022
The maintenance of the façade(s) is one of the most common solutions – in countries where this intervention is allowed – which can also guarantee the “preservation” of the existing built herit- age, as well as the construction of new “zero land consumption buildings”. The English term used to identify this area of work is Façadism. The paper analyses a perfect example attributable to this area of work that is being implement- ed on the former Chelsea and Fulham Power Station in London. The refurbishment project, in the construction phase, was instructed to Midgard Design Service Ltd (Design Department of the Irish construction company JRL Group Limited) which will transform the entire area …
Connection between Design and Nature Reflections and Projects for the future of the Planet
2022
Humanity’s delayed reaction to the consequences of the climate crisis is the result of multiple interests and strategies caused by denialist policies and piloted information. It is also true, however, that there is a strictly cultural responsibility, in the form of a lack of dialogue between sources of knowledge. Restoring the balance between humanity and nature is the most important issue that contemporary design must address. Design has the task of highlighting objects and strategies in re-establishing the relationship between Man and the context in which he lives by re-integrating the social and natural ecosystems. In this context, thanks to the evolution of natural sciences and technolo…
ON THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF GREEN HYDROGEN FACILITIES ON THE PLANNING OF RES PLANTS IN SICILY
2021
A recent report on climate change and global warming, soil and oceans and the cryosphere [1] highlighted the disastrous effects that would be produced if climate change were not stopped.
Practical tables for the design of the grounding systems in distribution networks in presence of metallic interconnection
2009
The present paper deals with the dependence of the ground current, due to a single-line-to-ground fault in a secondary substation, on the electrical and geometrical parameters of a Medium Voltage distribution network in which a metallic interconnection between the grounding systems is realized. Examining different situations, some easy-to-use tables are provided for a practical approach to the design of the ground electrodes of the secondary substations in these networks. The relevance of the work is due to the lack in the international standards of specific indications on how to consider the presence of the interconnection elements in distribution networks.

Understanding the Environment through Wireless Sensor Networks
2007
This paper presents a new cognitive architecture for extracting meaningful, high-level information from the environment, starting from the raw data collected by a Wireless Sensor Network. The proposed framework is capable of building rich internal representation of the sensed environment by means of intelligent data processing and correlation. Furthermore, our approach aims at integrating the connectionist, data-driven model with the symbolic one, that uses a high-level knowledge about the domain to drive the environment interpretation. To this aim, the framework exploits the notion of conceptual spaces, adopting a conceptual layer between the subsymbolic one, that processes sensory data, a…
IL CRITERIO DELLA “SUFFICIENTLY CLOSE CONNECTION” ED IL SUO RAPPORTO CON IL PRINCIPIO DEL NE BIS IN IDEM SANZIONATORIO NELLA GIURISPRUDENZA DELLA COR…
2018
Nel definire la portata garantista del principio del ne bis in idem sanzionatorio la Corte EDU ha certamente giocato un ruolo di primaria importanza. Sembra, tuttavia, che la Grande Camera abbia recentemente inteso circoscriverne l’ambito di operativita`, ritenendolo non applicabile nei casi in cui sia ravvisabile il criterio della “sufficiently close connection in substance and time”. Un criterio che era gia` presente nella giurisprudenza della Corte di Strasburgo ma che adesso la Grande Camera ha strutturato nella forma piu`definita di un test, identificando i c.d. material factors che ne individuano la sussistenza. In cio` si e` visto un possibile ridimensionamento del campo di applicazi…
Generalized coherence and connection property of imprecise conditional previsions.
2008
In this paper we consider imprecise conditional prevision assessments on random quantities with finite set of possible values. We use a notion of generalized coherence which is based on the coherence principle of de Finetti. We consider the checking of g-coherence, by extending some previous results obtained for imprecise conditional probability assessments. Then, we study a connection property of interval-valued gcoherent prevision assessments, by extending a result given in a previous paper for precise assessments.
Interpreting Connexive Principles in Coherence-Based Probability Logic
2021
We present probabilistic approaches to check the validity of selected connexive principles within the setting of coherence. Connexive logics emerged from the intuition that conditionals of the form If \(\mathord {\thicksim }A\), then A, should not hold, since the conditional’s antecedent \(\mathord {\thicksim }A\) contradicts its consequent A. Our approach covers this intuition by observing that for an event A the only coherent probability assessment on the conditional event \(A|\bar{A}\) is \(p(A|\bar{A})=0\). Moreover, connexive logics aim to capture the intuition that conditionals should express some “connection” between the antecedent and the consequent or, in terms of inferences, valid…
A Configuration of 3-phase Traction Inverter Employing {SiC} Devices
2022
In the scenario of a more and more sustainable society, an increasing electrification in different fields, such as mobility and industrial applications, is foreseen in the next decades. As far as power electronics is concerned, a challenging perspective is represented by achieving higher and higher switching frequencies while maintaining high voltage and low power losses. To do that, emerging semiconductor technologies are supposed to be increasingly employed, as well as innovative topologies of connections among switching devices. Among them, the cascode configuration can notably contribute to achieve high levels of dV/dt without losing efficiency. In this paper, a 3-phase Pulse Width Modu…
