A synthetic biology approach for the fabrication of functional (fluorescent magnetic) bioorganic–inorganic hybrid materials in sponge primmorphs
2020
During evolution, sponges (Porifera) have honed the genetic toolbox and biosynthetic mechanisms for the fabrication of siliceous skeletal components (spicules). Spicules carry a protein scaffold embedded within biogenic silica (biosilica) and feature an amazing range of optical, structural, and mechanical properties. Thus, it is tempting to explore the low-energy synthetic pathways of spiculogenesis for the fabrication of innovative hybrid materials. In this synthetic biology approach, the uptake of multifunctional nonbiogenic nanoparticles (fluorescent, superparamagnetic) by spicule-forming cells of bioreactor-cultivated sponge primmorphs provides access to spiculogenesis. The ingested nan…
The use of sea waves for generation of electrical energy: a linear tubular asynchronous electrical generator
2007
A linear tubular asynchronous generator to be used as generator driven by seawave is presented. The design criteria of a TLIM with hollowed iron induced part as well as the technological processes to be adopted and the materials utilized in the various parts are described. The methodologies for mechanical assembling and electric wiring are considered too. Finally, the prototype with bimetallic induced part that has been designed and built is presented and some experimental results on electrical and mechanical variables are shown.
STUDIO DI UN AMMORTIZZATORE ELETTROMAGNETICO A RECUPERO DI ENERGIA
2013
Questo lavoro ha come obiettivo principale lo studio teorico e con supporto di software F.E.M. di un dispositivo che consenta recupero energetico da una sospensione automobilistica. In sostituzione allo smorzatore viscoso, che dissipa l’energia cinetica del veicolo a seguito dell’attraversamento di strade sconnesse o ostacoli più marcati, si è usato uno smorzatore elettromagnetico che svolga le funzioni dello smorzatore viscoso consentendo un recupero di energia elettrica. Lo smorzatore elettromagnetico è di tipo a magneti permanenti e il suo funzionamento si basa sul fenomeno dell’induzione elettromagnetica. Il modello matematico descrive il funzionamento dello smorzatore, restituendo i va…
Experimental Realization of a Dirac Monopole through the Decay of an Isolated Monopole
2017
We experimentally observe the decay dynamics of deterministically created isolated monopoles in spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates. As the condensate undergoes a change between magnetic phases, the isolated monopole gradually evolves into a spin configuration hosting a Dirac monopole in its synthetic magnetic field. We characterize in detail the Dirac monopole by measuring the particle densities of the spin states projected along different quantization axes. Importantly, we observe the spontaneous emergence of nodal lines in the condensate density that accompany the Dirac monopole. We also demonstrate that the monopole decay accelerates in weaker magnetic field gradients.
Mixed Fault Classification of Sensorless PMSM Drive in Dynamic Operations Based on External Stray Flux Sensors
2022
This paper aims to classify local demagnetisation and inter-turn short-circuit (ITSC) on position sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) in transient states based on external stray flux and learning classifier. Within the framework, four supervised machine learning tools were tested: ensemble decision tree (EDT), k-nearest neighbours (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), and feedforward neural network (FNN). All algorithms are trained on datasets from one operational profile but tested on other different operation profiles. Their input features or spectrograms are computed from resampled time-series data based on the estimated position of the rotor from one stray flux sensor t…
The magnet of the scattering and neutrino detector for the SHiP experiment at CERN
2019
The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment proposal at CERN demands a dedicated dipole magnet for its scattering and neutrino detector. This requires a very large volume to be uniformly magnetized at B > 1.2 T, with constraints regarding the inner instrumented volume as well as the external region, where no massive structures are allowed and only an extremely low stray field is admitted. In this paper we report the main technical challenges and the relevant design options providing a comprehensive design for the magnet of the SHiP Scattering and Neutrino Detector.
Conceptual Design and Modeling of Fast Discharge Unit for Quench Protection of Superconducting Toroidal Field Magnets of DTT
2020
The paper deals with the modelling and simulation of a Fast Discharge Unit (FDU) for quench protection of the Toroidal Field (TF) magnets of the Divertor Tokamak Test, an experimental facility under design and construction in Frascati (Italy). The FDU is a safety key component that protects the superconducting magnets when a quench is detected through the fast extraction of the energy stored in superconducting magnets by adding in the TF magnets a dump (or discharge) resistor. In the paper, two different configurations of dump resistors (fixed and variable respectively) have been analysed and discussed. As a first result, it is possible to underline that the configuration with variable dump…
Conceptual Design and Modeling of the Toroidal Field Coils Circuit of DTT
2020
Italian Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) facility is part of the general European programme on the fusion research. Its specific role is to cover the gap on the power exhaust for the future DEMOstration power plant (DEMO). This tokamak will be built and installed in Italy at Frascati ENEA laboratories. The paper describes the Toroidal Field (TF) coils circuit powered by a TF power supply that feeds in series 18 toroidal superconducting magnets and the development of three software models in order to validate the adopted technical solutions in term of maximum voltage and maximum current stress on each power device/component, due to both the operating and fault conditions, and across TF coils.
Single-Ion Magnetic Behavior in CoII-CoIII Mixed-Valence Dinuclear and Pseudodinuclear Complexes
2017
Two CoII–CoIII mixed-valence complexes of molecularformulas [Co2(H2L)2(H2O)2][Co2(H2L)2(H2O)(m-phth)]·8(H2O) {1;H2L2–= 2-[(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino]-2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diolato, m-phth = 1,3-benzene-dicarboxylate} and [Co4(H2L)4(H2O)2(ppda)]·2(dmf)·3.2(H2O) {2;ppda = 1,4-phenylenediacrylate; dmf = N,N-dimethyl-formamide} were synthesized and characterized by single-crys-tal X-ray diffraction and magnetic studies at low temperature.The structural determination reveals that 1 is composed of di-nuclear ion pairs, namely, a cationic [Co2(H2L)2(H2O)2]+(1+) andan anionic [Co2(H2L)2(H2O)(m-phth)]–(1–) unit. In each of these ions, the CoIIand CoIIIcenters present distorted octa…
Electronic and magnetic properties of Mn 12 molecular magnets on sulfonate and carboxylic acid prefunctionalized gold surfaces
2012
Structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of [Mn 12O 12(bet) 16(EtOH) 4](PF 6) 14·4CH 3CN·H 2O (in short Mn 12bet, bet = betaine = +N(CH 3) 3-CH 2-COO -) single-molecule magnets (SMMs) deposited on previously functionalized gold surfaces have been investigated. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) either of sodium mercaptoethanesulfonate (MES) or mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) are used as functionalization to avoid the direct interaction between the Mn 12bet molecules and the Au surface with the aim of preserving the main functional properties of the molecules. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) analysis show deposited Mn 12bet SMMs well-isolated …
