The COMPASS experiment at CERN
2007
The COMPASS experiment makes use of the CERN SPS high-intensitymuon and hadron beams for the investigation of the nucleon spin structure and the spectroscopy of hadrons. One or more outgoing particles are detected in coincidence with the incoming muon or hadron. A large polarized target inside a superconducting solenoid is used for the measurements with the muon beam. Outgoing particles are detected by a two-stage, large angle and large momentum range spectrometer. The setup is built using several types of tracking detectors, according to the expected incident rate, required space resolution and the solid angle to be covered. Particle identification is achieved using a RICH counter and both…
The Perceived Role of Technology in Career Guidance among Practitioners Who are Experienced Internet Users
2011
The increasing use of technology is placing new demands on career guidance practitioners. This article examines what changes, if any, have occurred in the perceptions of guidance practitioners regarding their role and the role of the internet in meeting guidance goals and delivering career guidance services. The data were collected in focus groups in 2001–2002 and a follow-up study in 2010. A total of seven focus groups were held. The data were analysed using combined methods. The results indicated that practitioners now observe that the need for differentiated service delivery modes is more explicit due to varied levels of readiness in decision-making and ICT literacy.
Implementation of advanced methodologies in the commissioning of a Light Ion Beam Therapy facility
COMMISSIONING OF THE SPEDE SPECTROMETER WITH STABLE BEAMS
2017
The SPectrometer for Electron DEtection (SPEDE) has been constructed for in-beam nuclear structure studies using radioactive ion beams. SPEDE employs a silicon detector for detecting conversion electrons. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the MINIBALL spectrometer at HIE-ISOLDE, CERN. Peer reviewed
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…
La tutela della salubrità dell'aria e della persona in civil Law e in common Law
2022
The essay deals with safeguarding the right to a healthy environment in the Italian and English systems, especially for the individuals affected by emissions that corrupt the air quality interfering with their private and family life. The study focuses on the injunction, as a non-compensatory remedy, actionable before the English courts by claimants seeking the decontamination of the polluted areas. The insight into the foreign environmental law will provide a new perspective on the Italian one that (as the European Court of Human Rights stated in the Cordella case) does not secure everyone an effective remedy to the violation of their environmental human right.
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…
