The REAPower Project
2019
Abstract Reverse electrodialysis technology has grown significantly in the last decade, gaining a fast increase in its technology readiness level and presenting some interesting examples of pilot systems operating under very different real environments. Among these, one was able to operate in a saltwork in Marsala (Sicily, Italy) with real concentrated brine and real saline waters (i.e., either seawater or brackish water), producing electric power in the order of 1 kW. This pilot plant was one of the main achievements of the European REAPower research project. This chapter presents an overview of the main research efforts and results achieved in the framework of this project starting from t…
The effectiveness of local child weight management programmes: an audit study
2012
Background Many different child weight management programmes exist, with varying degrees of evaluation to provide evidence of their success. The purpose of this research was to use a standardized approach to audit the effectiveness of weight management intervention programmes in the West Midlands region of the UK, specifically to assess the benefits to participating children in terms of health improvement and behaviour change. Methods An audit of seven family-based intervention programmes currently in place in the West Midlands. Programmes were audited against the Standard Evaluation Framework. Results The programmes provided a partial data set relating to a change in weight from the baseli…
Towards commissioning the new IGISOL-4 facility
2013
Abstract The Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line facility at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyvaskyla is currently being re-commissioned as IGISOL-4 in a new experimental hall. Access to intense beams of protons and deuterons from a new MCC30/15 cyclotron, with continued possibility to deliver heavy-ion beams from the K = 130 MeV cyclotron, offers extensive opportunities for long periods of fundamental experimental research, developments and applications. A new layout of beam lines with a considerable increase in floor space offers new modes of operation at the facility, as well as a possibility to incorporate more complex detector setups. We present a general overview of I…
Commissioning and periodic tests of the Esteya® electronic brachytherapy system
2015
A new electronic brachytherapy unit from Elekta, called Esteya(®), has recently been introduced to the market. As a part of the standards in radiation oncology, an acceptance testing and commissioning must be performed prior to treatment of the first patient. In addition, a quality assurance program should be implemented. A complete commissioning and periodic testing of the Esteya(®) device using the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), Groupe Europeen de Curietherapie and the European Society for Radiotherapy & Oncology (GEC-ESTRO) guidelines for linacs and brachytherapy units as well as our personal experience is described in this paper. In addition to the methodology, r…
Madonie, L'arte e la storia
2021
Il volume esamina il patrimonio storico artistico dei seguenti paesi delle Madonie: Caltavuturo, Castelbuono, Cefalù, Collesano, Geraci Siculo, Gangi, Gratteri, Isnello, Petralia Soprana, Petralia Sottana, Polizzi Generosa, Pollina, San Mauro Castelverde e Sclafani Bagni. Per ogni singolo borgo si affronta brevemente la storia della città e successivamente si esaminano le chiese e le opere d’arte ivi contenute, iniziando dalla Chiesa Madre o dalla Basilica per poi continuare con gli altri edifici chiesastici e i palazzi nobiliari. Particolare attenzione viene riservata all’architettura, come le chiese medievali e rinascimentali di Castelbuono, Gratteri e Isnello o quelle barocche e rococò d…

Arti decorative di committenza arcivescovile nel tesoro della Cattedrale di Palermo
2013
Gli arcivescovi della città di Palermo nel corso dei secoli hanno costantemente espresso un’aulica committenza di arte sacra, molto spesso particolarmente onerosa e prestigiosa per i materiali, i modelli e gli artefici scelti. Si tratta di suppellettili metalliche, manoscritti o libri a stampa su pergamena e carta, parati realizzati in tessuto operato o ricamato, insegne vescovili in uso nella cappella privata piuttosto che nella cattedrale. A partire dagli inventari, viene analizzato il patrimonio identificato ancora oggi esistente e fruibile dal 2006 negli ambienti della sagrestia vecchia e dell’antico Thesaurum della cattedrale di Palermo. The archbishops of Palermo during the centuries …
"Terrenis caelestia iunguntur". Il candelabro pasquale della Cappella Palatina di Palermo: un Exultet di pietra
2015
Lo studio propone una nuova lettura iconografica dell'opera, dovuta tradizionalmente allo scultore noto come Maestro dei putti del chiostro di Monreale, in rapporto ai coevi rotoli liturgici miniati di Exultet, specie di ambito beneventano-cassinese, in uso in Italia centro-meridionale, nonché nuove proposte sulla sua datazione (1166-1172) e sulla committenza, individuabile in Romualdo Guarna arcivescovo di Salerno. The study proposes a new iconographic reading of the work, traditionally due to the sculptor known as the Master of the putti of the cloister of Monreale, in relation to the contemporary illuminated liturgical scrolls of Exultet, a species of the Benevento-Cassinese context, in …
Becoming Dialogical: Psychotherapy or a Way of Life?
2011
After birth the first thing we learn is becoming a participant in dialogue. We are born in relations and those relations become our structure. Intersubjectivity is the basis of human experience and dialogue the way we live it. In this paper the dilemma of looking at dialogue as either a way of life or a therapeutic method is described. The background is the open dialogue psychiatric system that was initiated in Finnish Western Lapland. The author was part of the team re-organizing psychiatry and afterwards became involved in many different types of projects in dialogical practices. Lately the focus has shifted from looking at speech to seeing the entire embodied human being in the present m…
Composite Material Recycling Technology – State-of-the-Art and Sustainable Development for the 2020s.
2020
Recently, significant events took place that added immensely to the sociotechnical pressure for developing sustainable composite recycling solutions, namely (1) a ban on composite landfilling in Germany in 2009, (2) the first major wave of composite wind turbines reaching their End-of-Life (EoL) and being decommissioned in 2019–2020, (3) the acceleration of aircraft decommissioning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and (4) the increase of composites in mass production cars, thanks to the development of high volume technologies based on thermoplastic composites. Such sociotechnical pressure will only grow in the upcoming decade of 2020s as other countries are to follow Germany by limiting and ba…
