Sepiolite-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites: Thermal, mechanical, and morphological behavior

2010

A bisphenol A-based epoxy resin was modified with pristine sepiolite and an organically surface-modified sepiolite and thermally cured using two different curing agents: an aliphatic and a cycloaromatic diamine. The nanocomposites were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), rheology, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and electron microscopy. The initial sepiolite–epoxy mixtures show a better dispersion for the sepiolite-modified system that forms a percolation network structure. Mechanical properties have also been determined. The flexural modulus of the epoxy matrix slightly increases by the incorporation of the organophilic sepiolite. The flexural strength of the sepiolite-mo…

Una storia italiana: Giorgio e Isabella

2018

Si tratta, qui, della storia di due italiani dalla “pelle scura” raccontata, per Giorgio Marincola, da Carlo Costa e Lorenzo Teodonio in Razza partigiana e, per la sorella Isabella, da Wu Ming 2 e Antar Mohamed in Timira. Romanzo meticcio. Le loro vicende, così come molti altri aspetti della nostra storia coloniale, neocoloniale e postcoloniale, sono riemerse dal buio nel quale erano state occultate solo nell’ultimo quindicennio, grazie alla riapertura degli archivi che ha permesso di ridiscutere molti degli aspetti che nelle pagine di Storia, così come in quelle letterarie, erano stati raccontati in altro modo. I due testi, che hanno inevitabilmente finito per incontrarsi e che potremmo in…

This paper focuses on the story of two dark-skinned Italians written for Giorgio Marincola by Carlo Costa and Lorenzo Teodonio in Razza partigiana and for his sister Isabella by Wu Ming 2 and Antar Mohamed in Timira. Romanzo meticcio. The events of their lives as well as many other aspects of our colonial neocolonial and postcolonial history have re-emerged from the darkness in which they had been hidden only in the last fifteen years thanks to the reopening of the archives allowing to re-discuss many of the aspects that in the pages of History as well as in those of literature had been told in another way. The two works that could be inserted into the current defined as the "new Italian epic" dismantle a series of clichés and prejudices and invite us to reflect on the concept of Italian identity on colonialism and its consequence in the short and long term and particularly on racism.Settore L-FIL-LET/14 - Critica Letteraria E Letterature Comparate

Qualità della didattica universitaria e sviluppo della capacità decisionale. Il modello ADVP per garantire i passaggi da L-19 a LM-85bis.

2020

Il presente contributo intende offrire una riflessione sulle competenze attese individuate attraverso la formulazione dei descrittori di Dublino dei CdS in Scienze dell’Educazione (L-19) e Scienze della Formazione Primaria (LM-85bis) istituiti presso l’Ateneo di Palermo e nello stesso tempo proporre un modello per lo sviluppo della maturità professional e necessaria a garantire scelte consapevoli, mature e responsabili. L’analisi condotta ci ha permesso, in una seconda fase di individuare gli obiettivi formativi finali scelti seguendo il modello proposto dalle Linee Guida dell ’Anvur, e di scegliere il modello dell’Activaction du Developpement Vocationnel et Personnel quale strumento per lo…

This paper offers a reflection on the expected competencies identified through the formulation of the Dublin descriptors of the CdS in Education Sciences (L-19) and Primary Education Sciences (LM-85bis) established at the University of Palermo and in the same time to propose a model for the development of professional maturity necessary to ensure informed mature and responsible choices. The analysis carried out allowed us in a second phase to identify the final training objectives chosen following the model proposed by the ANVUR Guidelines and to select the model of the Activaction du Developpement Vocationnel et Personnel for developing decision-making capacity that allows a conscious and responsible passage of students from course L-19 to course LM-85bis safeguarding the specific professional skills that young people wishing to dedicate themselves to teaching in primary and kindergarten must acquire.Settore M-PED/03 - Didattica E Pedagogia Speciale

Application of non-invasive technologies in dry-cured ham: An overview

2019

Background: Dry-cured ham is one of the most valued food products by Mediterranean consumers. In this sense, the appropriate development of its different production stages is essential to ensure the quality requirements. For this reason, non-invasive technologies have gained popularity and have been reported as useful not only to ensure the food safety of different products, but also to monitor fundamental stages in the production process, such as the salting stage, to analyze the content of different compounds without sample losses, and to correct possible defects in the final product. Scope and approach: This work has been focused on summarizing the studies that describe and have successf…

<title>Electronic eye occluder with time-counting and reflection control</title>

2008

ABSTRACT In pediatric ophthalmology 2 – 3 % of all the children are impacted by a visual pathology – amblyopia. It develops if a clear image isn’t presented to the retina during an early stage of the developmen t of the visual system. A common way of treating this pathology is to cover the better-seeing eye to force the „lazy” eye to learn seeing. However, children are often reluctant to wear such an occluder because they are as hamed or simply because they find it inconvenient. This fact requires to find a way how to track the regi me of occlusion because results of occlus ion is a hint that the actual regime of occlusion isn’t that what the optometrist has recommended. We design an electr…

High Resolution Time Domain Reflectometry for Dielectric State Monitoring in High Voltage Cables

2017

A high resolution Time Domain Reflectometry system has been designed in order to investigate the possibility of measuring with good accuracy the dielectric properties of high voltage cables insulator materials by means of Time-of-Flight measures. The system employs a dedicated Time-To-Digital Converter in order to achieve a time resolution of 90 ps. By exploiting averaging techniques the resolution has been further increased. Experimental results showed the possibility of measuring the dielectric constant with a resolution of 0.03%.

Fractional visco-elastic Timoshenko beam deflection via single equation

2015

SUMMARY This paper deals with the response determination of a visco-elastic Timoshenko beam under static loading condition and taking into account fractional calculus. In particular, the fractional derivative terms arise from representing constitutive behavior of the visco-elastic material. Further, taking advantages of the Mellin transform method recently developed for the solution of fractional differential equation, the problem of fractional Timoshenko beam model is assessed in time domain without invoking the Laplace-transforms as usual. Further, solution provided by the Mellin transform procedure will be compared with classical Central Difference scheme one, based on the Grunwald–Letni…

A Survey of Multi-Label Topic Models

2019

Every day, an enormous amount of text data is produced. Sources of text data include news, social media, emails, text messages, medical reports, scientific publications and fiction. To keep track of this data, there are categories, key words, tags or labels that are assigned to each text. Automatically predicting such labels is the task of multi-label text classification. Often however, we are interested in more than just the pure classification: rather, we would like to understand which parts of a text belong to the label, which words are important for the label or which labels occur together. Because of this, topic models may be used for multi-label classification as an interpretable mode…

A Teaching Experience: Aeroelasticity and the Finite Element Method

2015

[EN] The aeroelastic modelling of aircraft structures is a fundamental area for the students of Aerospace Engineering Degree. This subject has a strongly multidisciplinary character and involves other several subjects like mechanics, vibrations, aerodynamics, structural analysis. Consequently, the students find stimulating the challenge of merging their knowledge at different areas. In this paper, a teaching experience on the solution of the aeroelastic problem of a 3D-wing through six different computer tasks is presented. The main objective is to attempt a relatively complex problem using a simple version of the Finite Element Method with only four degrees of freedom. The students begin c…
