Dynamic reconfiguration systems for PV plant: Technical and economic analysis
2020
Solar plants suffer of partial shading and mismatch problems. Without considering the generation of hot spots and the resulting security issues, a monitoring system for the health of a PV plant should be useful to drive a dynamic reconfiguration system (DRS) to solve bottlenecks due to different panels’ shading. Over the years different DRS architectures have been proposed, but no suggestions about costs and benefits have been provided. Starting from technical subjects such as differences of the topologies driving the hardware complexity and number of components, this paper identifies the cost of DRS and its lifetime, and based on these issues it provides an economic analysis for a 6 kWp PV…
El traslado ilícito de menores en la Unión Europea: retorno vs violencia familiar o doméstica = International child abduction in the European Union: …
2018
Resumen: Cada vez resulta mas habitual la concurrencia de violencia domestica o familiar en los supuestos de sustraccion internacional de menores, en los que la retencion o el traslado ilicito del menor se utiliza como una via de alejamiento. El sistema de retorno inmediato del menor del Convenio de la Haya de 1980 preve esta circunstancia bajo la excepcion de grave riesgo del articulo 13.1.b), en un marco regulador poliedrico, que se completa con el Reglamento 2201/2003, Bruselas II bis –para los traslados intracomunitarios – y con las medidas de proteccion previstas en el Convenio de la Haya de 1996 –entre los Estados parte– y el procedimiento del Capitulo IV bis de la LEC espanola. Los p…
Implementing Cultural Diversity Within and Outside the European Union: A Test for the Delineation of Competences in Cultural Matters?
1970
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the European Union’s (EU) involvement in the protection of cultural diversity, both within and outside the EU, after the entering into force of the Lisbon Treaty, in 2009, and the adoption of the UNESCO Convention of 2005. The author examines whether this involvement can be depicted in concrete measures aiming at the effective internal and external implementation of the provisions of the UNESCO Convention of 2005. The author further seeks to analyse whether the entailed consequences of EU’s actions, including the erosion of the Member State's competences in the cultural field, was translated in concrete measures or if it still remains at the politica…
COVID-19 y libre circulación de inversiones: un (muy) difícil matrimonio (COVID-19 and Free Movement of Investment: A (Very) Difficult Marriage)
2020
Spanish Abstract: Las inversiones extranjeras estan siendo objeto de una aproximacion mas cautelosa y critica en los ultimos anos en gran numero de paises. Una posicion que se refleja en su regimen juridico y se manifiesta, entre otros extremos, en el diseno de mecanismos de control previo con base en su eventual contrariedad con la seguridad nacional del pais receptor. La pandemia del COVID-19 no ha hecho sino acentuar esta tendencia. La posicion mantenida por la UE al respecto, y la suspension de la libre circulacion de inversiones decidida por el Gobierno espanol son manifestaciones de ello que, todo apunta, han venido para perdurar. English Abstract: In recent years, foreign investment …
Evaluation in the Transnational ‘Management by Projects' Policies
2004
There is a supranational tendency in educational governance towards a 'management by projects' policy, which substitutes democratic procedures and norm-based control in FOR? materialisation of educational justice. The organisational level becomes crucial for the management of education and the pressure to conceive education as a managerial activity increases. At the same time, educational expertise in public administration becomes substituted by subcontracted, policy-led research. In the context of transnational governance the civil service is turning into a busnocracy, which is responsible for the quality of education to the global markets instead of to people. The article discusses this t…
Political Yardstick Competition and Corporate Governance in the European Union
2006
http://www.dur.ac.uk/john.ashworth/EPCS/Papers_and_Authors.php; The question whether regulatory competition in the area of company law could take place in the European Union (EU) in a way similar to the form it takes in the United States (the Delaware phenomenon) is topical because of some recent judgments of the European Court of Justice (Centros) and documents and projects produced by the European Commission. That question is typically discussed, however, as if voters did not count and as if competition among governments was exclusively based on the mobility of firms across jurisdictions. But intergovernmental competition can also take the form of yardstick, or relative performance, compe…
Morphostatistical characterization of the spatial galaxy distribution through Gibbs point processes
2021
This paper proposes a morpho-statistical characterisation of the galaxy distribution through spatial statistical modelling based on inhomogeneous Gibbs point processes. The galaxy distribution is supposed to exhibit two components. The first one is related to the major geometrical features exhibited by the observed galaxy field, here, its corresponding filamentary pattern. The second one is related to the interactions exhibited by the galaxies. Gibbs point processes are statistical models able to integrate these two aspects in a probability density, controlled by some parameters. Several such models are fitted to real observational data via the ABC Shadow algorithm. This algorithm provides …

The HERMES-Technologic and Scientific Pathfinder
2020
HERMES-TP/SP (High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites Technologic and Scientific Pathfinder) is a constellation of six 3U nano-satellites hosting simple but innovative X-ray detectors, characterized by a large energy band and excellent temporal resolution, and thus optimized for the monitoring of Cosmic High Energy transients such as Gamma Ray Bursts and the electromagnetic counterparts of Gravitational Wave Events, and for the determination of their positions. The projects are funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research and by the Italian Space Agency, and by the European Union Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program under Grant Agreement No. 821896. HERMES-TP/S…
Founding myths of EU Europe and the workings of power in the EU heritage and history initiatives
2018
Along with the European Union’s (EU) increased interest in a common European culture and past, narration as a means to create and communicate about them has gained new momentum. By applying the Discourse-Mythological Approach, I explore how the EU narrates the story of the origins of EU Europe in two recent EU heritage/history initiatives. The analysis brought out three storylines in the mythmaking of EU Europe. While the first storyline emphasizes temporal continuity, shared cultural roots, and preservation and transmission of a common legacy, the second focuses on the idea of a break and a rebirth of a civic/political community. The third storyline highlighting founding figures and key he…
