Upper limits on the isotropic gravitational-wave background from Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo's third observing run
2021
We report results of a search for an isotropic gravitational-wave background (GWB) using data from Advanced LIGO's and Advanced Virgo's third observing run (O3) combined with upper limits from the earlier O1 and O2 runs. Unlike in previous observing runs in the advanced detector era, we include Virgo in the search for the GWB. The results are consistent with uncorrelated noise, and therefore we place upper limits on the strength of the GWB. We find that the dimensionless energy density $\Omega_{\rm GW}\leq 5.8\times 10^{-9}$ at the 95% credible level for a flat (frequency-independent) GWB, using a prior which is uniform in the log of the strength of the GWB, with 99% of the sensitivity comi…
Spectrophotometric investigations at the museum: monitoring of colour changes during differentiated cleaning of the marble statues
2011
The spectrophotometric investigations carried out during the cleaning treatments on the marble surface provide an useful support for choosing the best method to employ by monitoring, before and after the tests, both the chromatic coordinates and the spectral reflectance. Moreover, the colorimetric measurements allow us to evaluate the goodness of the chromatic level and the uniformity of the cleaned areas. The Laboratory of Physics and Indoor Environment of the Regional Center for Planning and Restoration has carried out the spectrophotometric investigations on the marble statues belonging to the Renaissance statuary collection of the Regional Gallery of Sicily Palazzo Abatellis in Palermo …
Target Cooling Options for Neutron Sources at High Power Densities
2014
Abstract Compact neutron sources in many cases beat large ones when it comes to power density; thus, many issues concerning cooling are shared, and each party can learn a lot from the other facilities. Starting from accrued experience with water cooling at moderate power densities in SINQ over the last 15 years, a brief overview will be attempted showing the relevant parameters and specific approaches at several existing and planned neutron (spallation) sources. Extensions from the established ground of cooling with water will be sketched in two directions. An outline of an experiment planned for freshly determining in a representative geometry the hard limit for water cooling, i.e. full bo…
Agatha, Apollonia, Magdalene and Rosalia. The Restoration of four Paintings of the Mother Church in Partinico and Their enhancement
2019
The conservative intervention on four paintings preserved in the mother church of Partinico, in the province of Palermo, has allowed the recovery and enhancement of an important pictorial patrimony. The intervention, restoring the optimal conditions of the artifacts, has made possible the stylistic interpretation of the paintings, today referred to the environment of Neapolitan naturalism close to the classicist ways of Andrea Vaccaro.

Introduzione al volume
Genitori con. Modelli di coparenting attuali e corpi familiari in Gestalt Therapy.
2017
Il volume delinea il costrutto del coparenting come condizione che permette ai genitori di creare un'alleanza e di coordinarsi nell'esercizio della propria funzione cogenitoriale.La sfida, già lanciata da alcuni ricercatori americani, è quella del divenire genitori insieme all'altro partner genitoriale.
Il cuore della cogenitorialità nella Gestalt Therapy. Intervista a Valeria Conte e Giovanni Salonia.
2016
L’intervista si apre presentando la co-genitorialità come una sfida evolutiva, una possibilità di crescita che i figli offrono ai co-genitori. Il tema del coparenting, come svolta antropologica, clinica ed epistemologica è messo in relazione con i cambiamenti sociali della postmodernità e in particolare vengono argomentati i temi cruciali che toccano la famiglia e la cogenitorialità nell’attuale contesto sociale. In particolare l’intervista affronta il tema della omo(co)genitorialità, della possibilità di essere genitori anche quando non si è più coppia coniugale o il rapporto di coppia è altamente conflittuale. Infine la curatrice si aggancia al lavoro di ricerca e clinico di Giovanni Salo…
The first catalytic method for Heck alkynylation of unactivated aryl bromides (copper-free Sonogashira) in an ionic liquid: 1 mol-percent palladium/t…
2007
Herein we report the studies of Heck alkynylation (copper-free Sonogashira) with aryl halides (I, Br, Cl) employing various metallic precursors, tertiary phosphanes and bases in [BMIM][BF4] as the solvent. As a result, we provide the first method that allows the coupling of a large array of substrates, either activated or deactivated bromides in an ionic liquid. Furthermore, the system of highest efficiency is unexpectedly the simplest and cheaper combination that employs [Pd(η3-C3H5)Cl]2/PPh3 at only a 1 mol-% loading with pyrrolidine as the base and in the absence of a copper salt. The coupling of sterically and electronically deactivated bromides bearing different functional groups to ar…
Thermoelectric Radiation Detector Based on Superconductor-Ferromagnet Systems
2017
We suggest an ultrasensitive detector of electromagnetic fields exploiting the giant thermoelectric effect recently found in superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid structures. Compared with other types of superconducting detectors where the detected signal is based on variations of the detector impedance, the thermoelectric detector has the advantage of requiring no external driving fields. This is especially relevant in multipixel detectors, where the number of bias lines and the heating induced by them are an issue. We propose different material combinations to implement the detector and provide a detailed analysis of its sensitivity and speed. In particular, we perform a proper noise analysis…
A strong electroweak phase transition from the inflaton field
2016
We study a singlet scalar extension of the Standard Model. The singlet scalar is coupled non-minimally to gravity and assumed to drive inflation, and also couple sufficiently strongly with the SM Higgs field in order to provide for a strong first order electroweak phase transition. Requiring the model to describe inflation successfully, be compatible with the LHC data, and yield a strong first order electroweak phase transition, we identify the regions of the parameter space where the model is viable. We also include a singlet fermion with scalar coupling to the singlet scalar to probe the sensitivity of the constraints on additional degrees of freedom and their couplings in the singlet sec…
