La centrale ENEL “Tifeo” di Augusta: ricerca e progetti per il recupero
2015
L'articolo presenta il lavoro, avviato nell'ambito del Dottorato di ricerca in Architettura/Progettazione Architettonica dell'Università di Palermo e conseguente alla stipula di una apposita convenzione con l'ENEL, finalizzato ad uno studio di fattibilità per individuare proposte qualificate e innovative per la riqualificazione e il riuso della centrale termoelettrica "Tifeo" di Augusta, ormai prossima alla dismissione. Lo studio mira ad individuare una strada concreta per la protezione di quest'opera di Giuseppe Samonà, legandola ad un possibile impatto positivo nell'ambito del difficile contesto in cui essa insiste. The recovery of the central "Tifeo" Augusta (SR), a valuable work of the …
Places of ancient agrarian culture : the discovery of a grain pit
2020
The recovery of memory as well as the protection, preservation, conservation and enhancement of the cultural heritage of our territory – both material and immaterial – are the starting points for this multidisciplinary research, which aims to recount a history that has almost been forgotten. We refer to the tradition of agrarian culture, and to the ancient production, commercialization and conservation of wheat: a valuable asset of sustenance for the community that, in centuries past, played a fundamental role for the socio-economic development of our country, particularly for cities overlooking the Mediterranean basin. Several methods and places have been used to store wheat. This study fo…
Cultural content of lighting for the discovery of archaeological heritage
2013
Archaeological sites, built landscapes of the past, represent the identity heritage for future generations. The aim of this article is to investigate and demonstrate the importance of the cultural identity reinforcement, which can be achieved by enhancing the historical heritage through the use of artificial lighting. The charm of an archaeological site or a monument comes from the perception of its whole environmental context, both for the functional lighting and the enhancement of the artistic and monumental. Light can turn into concrete matter both in interiors, in archaeological and urban spaces: combining innovative technologies, artificial light can be used to change the world, to sha…
Psychometric properties of the measure of achieved capabilities in homeless services
2023
Abstract Background Purposeful participation in personally meaningful life tasks, enjoyment of positive reciprocal relationships, and opportunities to realize one’s potential are growth-related aspects of a meaningful life that should be considered important dimensions of recovery from homelessness. The extent to which homeless services support individuals to achieve the capabilities they need to become who they want to be and do what they want to do is, in turn, an important indicator of their effectiveness. In this study, we developed a measure of achieved capabilities (MACHS) for use in homeless services settings, and assessed its construct and concurrent validity. Methods We analysed da…

Exergy recovery during LNG regasification: Electric energy production – Part one
2009
Abstract In liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification facilities, for exergy recovery during regasification, an option could be the production of electric energy recovering the energy available as cold. In a previous paper, the authors propose an innovative process which uses a cryogenic stream of LNG during regasification as a cold source in an improved combined heat and power (CHP) plant. Considering the LNG regasification projects in progress all over the World, an appropriate design option could be based on a modular unit having a mean regasification capacity of 2 × 109 standard cubic meters/year. This paper deals with the results of feasibility studies, developed by the authors at DRE…
Cold recovery during regasification of LNG part one: Cold utilization far from the regasification facility
2010
The paper deals with cold recovery during LNG regasification. The applications analyzed pertain to the use in deep freezing agro food industry and in space air conditioning facilities in commercial sector (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets) of cold recovered from the regasification process. A modular LNG regasification unit is proposed having the regasification capacity of 2 billion standard cubic meters/year of gas and it is based on use of a Power Cycle working with Ethane, this unit allows operation of cold energy transfer, contained in LNG to be regasified, in a range of temperatures suitable for multipurpose use of cold, reducing regasification process irreversibility. Some electric energy…
Cold recovery during regasification of LNG part two: applications in an Agro Food Industry and a Hypermarket
2011
Abstract The paper deals with the cold energy available during LNG regasification, which can be recovered and utilized both inside the LNG regasification area and at a distance, such as in deep freezing agro food industry facilities and for space conditioning in the commercial and residential sector (e.g. Supermarkets and Hypermarkets). The feasibility study of this kind of application has been carried out at DREAM, Palermo University, within the framework of a research program. The results of a feasibility study of the kind of venture proposed, starting from its conceptual design and with a thorough thermodynamic and economic analysis, demonstrated the suitability and the profitability of …
Resilient cities and sustainable urban mobility in Sicily
2018
The global crisis that in recent years has been investing our planet at different levels - social, economic, political, cultural, environmental - has determined a constant change in the quality of life in the cities. Cities, unfortunately, increasingly vulnerable characterized by insecurity, uncertainty, unpredictability due to mistakes made in the past. This is why, today, urban planning is called to satisfy the new needs of the community through a planning that must be adapted to change. In this scenario, urban centers - in order to ensure high levels of quality of life and responsible management of territorial resources - they must re-examine their governance, their strategies for expans…
