Storie di città pugliesi. Edizioni a stampa: secoli XVI-XVIII

2011

Il libro ricostruisce, nella forma critico-documentaria del repertorio bibliografico ragionato, la vicenda editoriale a stampa, dislocata lungo i secoli XVI-XVIII, del genere storiografico della memoria urbis nel contesto territoriale e culturale della Puglia. Ne emergono le progressive, profonde trasformazioni della scrittura storica cittadina per effetto della mediazione del modello storiografico umanistico. Al genere cronachistico d’impianto medievale succede quello corografico, e alla prospettiva antiquaria mutuata, insieme al tema della laudatio urbis, da un preciso archetipo umanistico, si affianca fino a sostituirvisi, la rilettura ecclesiastico-erudita dell’identità cittadina attrav…

A life cycle scenario analysis of different pavement technologies for urban roads.

2019

In the past, lowest price was the award criterion, given that structural capacity and safety were assured. In the last years, environmental, energy, and long-term impacts have been introduced (climate change, resource depletion, energy consumption, generated solid waste, discharged water, and emissions). Unfortunately, the introduction of new pavement technologies and materials (i.e., waste plastics) affects maintenance and rehabilitation processes and call for accurate and timeliness studies and criteria. Consequently, this paper presents an energy and environmental assessment of an Italian urban road and considers different material-related scenarios that fully comply with emerging techno…

A DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT APPROACH TO FOSTER MUNICIPAL POLICE STRATEGIES IN PALERMO TO CONTAIN SPEEDING AND DRUNK DRIVING

Road related fatalities kill 1,25 million people every year around the world and rank as the ninth cause of death according to some recent statistics by the WHO. Actions to reduce this phenomenon have been taken, at different institutional levels, with promising results, particularly in western societies, where the magnitude of such occurrences has been almost halved in the last decade. Nevertheless the level of attention, with regard to road safety, will have to be kept high if a further reduction of this phenomenon is to be reached. Traditional road safety-related approaches mainly focus on prevention through the constant improvement of vehicles’ safety devices and the rationalization of …

Las infraestructuras viarias de Saguntum en época imperial: propaganda, prestigio social y poder municipal

2015

During the government of Augustus the city of Sagunto was transformed in a place symbol of modernity. It is no coincidence that the necessary developing infrastructures were consolidated around it for an optimal development: higher quality viae or better port platforms. Different type of streets emerged following an order of importance depending many times on the wealth of their users. Towards the exit of the city burial monuments were placed honoring relevant citizens. As many other major towns of Hispania, Saguntum is not an exception of great transformations.

Broadband Internet Access via Multi-Hop Wireless Mesh Networks: Design, Protocol and Experiments

2010

Published version of an article from the journal: Wireless Personal Communications. The original publication is available at Spingerlink. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11277-009-9907-9 While bandwidth for Internet access in urban areas is steadily increasing in recent years, many rural areas are still suffering from the effect of the digital divide. This paper presents a broadband Internet access paradigm developed in the context of the ADHOCSYS project, which was financed by the European Commission under the 6th Framework Program Information and Society Technologies, within the strategic objective of Broadband for All. Aiming at providing reliable Internet access in rural and mountainous regi…

Asymmetry in inter-municipal cooperation in health services - How does it affect service quality and autonomy?

2021

Throughout Europe, local health services are increasingly being provided through various forms of inter-municipal cooperation (IMC). One of the most common forms of IMC is when small municipalities delegate the operational responsibility for providing health services to a larger host municipality. However, despite the size asymmetry usually inherent in this type of IMC, this aspect has largely been neglected in the existing literature, which mainly focuses on the size of individual municipalities. Based on data from 97 partner municipalities and 25 host municipalities in Norway, this study examines how varying degrees of size asymmetry between them affect the perceived service quality and l…

Aerobic granular sludge: State of the art, applications, and new perspectives.

2018

The aerobic granular sludge (AGS) process has attracted significant interest over the last decade and is one of the most promising wastewater treatment technologies. AGS offers several advantages over conventional activated sludge (CAS) including excellent settling, and higher volumetric loading capacity. Because of porosity, concentration gradients develop and stratified aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic layers develop throughout granule depth. This is the reason for simultaneous nutrient removal in a single tank. Aerobic granulation is influenced by many parameters including wastewater characteristics and operating conditions. Among these, the anaerobic upflow feeding strategy and a properly…

Biological nutrient removal in a UCT-MBR pilot

2010

In the last years, there has been an increasing awareness about the environment pollution protection. As a consequence, the Environmental Regulation has increased the emission limits imposing, for instance, lower concentrations at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) outlets. As a consequence of this fact, several WWTPs are not able to respect the emission limits and need to be upgraded. In view of such needs new technology are emerging and new WWTP solution schemes are being realized. With respects to the nutrient removal enhancing, a possible solution can be the UCT-MBR which couples the University of Cape Town scheme with a Membrane Bioreactor. In the light of such considerations, the s…
