Ventilative cooling application in Mediterranean buildings: impacts on grid interaction and load match
2016
The concept of load matching refers to the simultaneous occurrence of loads and generation in buildings: it can be increased and optimised with modifications on both the energy demand and generation, but its pre-requisite is to guarantee passive energy efficiency. In the Mediterranean areas, a major challenge in new buildings is the increasing overheating even during mildly hot seasons. Ventilative cooling can be a potential solution to such issues and have an impact on load match in buildings and their grid interaction. The study analyses the potential of ventilative cooling to improve the load match in three different case studies in Italy. Ventilative cooling proved viable in moderately …

Dysfunctional High-Density Lipoproteins Are Associated With a Greater Incidence of Acute Coronary Syndrome in a Population at High Cardiovascular Risk
2020
Background: Studies have failed to establish a clear link between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and cardiovascular disease, leading to the hypothesis that the atheroprotective role of HDL lies in its biological activity rather than in its cholesterol content. However, to date, the association between HDL functional characteristics and acute coronary syndrome has not been investigated comprehensively. Methods: We conducted a case-control study nested within the PREDIMED (Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea) cohort, originally a randomized trial in which participants followed a Mediterranean or low-fat diet. Incident acute coronary syndrome cases (N=167) were individually matched …
Coastal high-frequency radars in the Mediterranean – Part 1: Status of operations and a framework for future development
2022
Due to the semi-enclosed nature of the Mediterranean Sea, natural disasters and anthropogenic activities impose stronger pressures on its coastal ecosystems than in any other sea of the world. With the aim of responding adequately to science priorities and societal challenges, littoral waters must be effectively monitored with high-frequency radar (HFR) systems. This land-based remote sensing technology can provide, in near-real time, fine-resolution maps of the surface circulation over broad coastal areas, along with reliable directional wave and wind information. The main goal of this work is to showcase the current status of the Mediterranean HFR network and the future roadmap for orches…
Coastal high-frequency radars in the Mediterranean - Part 2: Applications in support of science priorities and societal needs
2022
The Mediterranean Sea is a prominent climate-change hot spot, with many socioeconomically vital coastal areas being the most vulnerable targets for maritime safety, diverse met-ocean hazards and marine pollution. Providing an unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution at wide coastal areas, high-frequency radars (HFRs) have been steadily gaining recognition as an effective land-based remote sensing technology for continuous monitoring of the surface circulation, increasingly waves and occasionally winds. HFR measurements have boosted the thorough scientific knowledge of coastal processes, also fostering a broad range of applications, which has promoted their integration in coastal ocean …
Visioni periferiche per una Baukultur di alta qualità nell'area mediterranea
2021
Il concetto di Baukultur di alta qualità è stato rilanciato per attuare un approccio olistico ai processi di produzione, manutenzione e trasformazione dell'ambiente costruito, obiettivo coerente con il Green Deal europeo. Passando dalla teoria alla realtà, gli aspetti metodologici possono essere letti come uno sviluppo delle principali basi teoriche di qualsiasi pratica tecnologica per meglio cogliere le specificità locali in particolare, nell'area mediterranea. Alcune esperienze di cooperazione transfrontaliera tra la Sicilia e il nord della Tunisia offrono l'occasione per approfondire l'argomento: che è facilmente riconoscibile nel patrimonio culturale materiale e immateriale e nel contes…
Compartiendo Mare Nostrum: Un análisis de artículos en publicaciones académicas sobre la historia marítima del Mediterráneo
2017
Este trabajo es una continuación de un anterior análisis bibliométrico de artículos publicados en The International Journal of Maritime History y de artículos de temática marinera publicados en otras revistas de historia económica y empresarial en los últimos 25 años. El trabajo examina más de cerca artículos que tratan sobre el Mediterráneo y artículos escritos por académicos de los países mediterráneos. Este artículo se estructura en torno a cinco proposiciones sobre las tendencias actuales en la publicación de la historia marítima del Mediterráneo en publicaciones académicas en lengua inglesa. nonPeerReviewed
Historical model of settling and spread of Bell Beakers Culture in the mediterranean France
2004
Die Glockenbecherkultur im mediterranen Südfrankreich : ein historisches InterpretationsmodellIm Folgenden werden einige Teilergebnisse aus einer Dissertation vorgestellt, die im März 2002 an der Universität Aix-en-Provence vorgelegt wurde (Lemercier 2002). In dieser Arbeit wurden sämtliche Glockenbecher-Elemente (1200 verzierte Gefässe bzw. Gefässfragmente) aus über 300 südostfranzösischen Fundstellen mit annähernd berücksichtigt. Diese Untersuchung bestätigt das Vorhandensein von vier Stilgruppen und die Gültigkeit der von J. Guilaine auf der Basis der verzierten Keramik vorgeschlagenen Chronologie weitgehend. Die Analyse dieser Gruppen, ihrer Fundumstände und ihrer Verbreitung führt uns …
