On the numerical assessment of the thermal-hydraulic operating map of the DEMO Divertor Plasma Facing Components cooling circuit
2020
Abstract Within the framework of the Work Package DIV 1 - “Divertor Cassette Design and Integration” of the EUROfusion action, a research campaign has been jointly carried out by University of Palermo and ENEA to investigate the thermal-hydraulic behaviour of the DEMO divertor cassette cooling system, focussing the attention on the 2018 configuration of the Plasma Facing Components (PFCs) circuit consistent with the DEMO baseline 2017. The research campaign has been carried out following a theoretical-computational approach based on the finite volume method and adopting the commercial Computational Fluid-Dynamic (CFD) code ANSYS CFX. A steady-state CFD analysis has been carried out for the …
On the thermal-hydraulic optimization of DEMO divertor plasma facing components cooling circuit
2018
Abstract Within the framework of the Work Package Divertor, Subproject: Cassette Design and Integration (WPDIV-Cassette) of the EUROfusion action, a research campaign has been jointly carried out by ENEA and University of Palermo to investigate the thermal-hydraulic performances of the DEMO divertor cassette cooling system. Attention has been focussed on the divertor Plasma Facing Components (PFCs) cooling circuit and a parametric analysis has been carried out in order to assess the potential impact of proper layout changes on its thermal-hydraulic performances, mainly in terms of coolant total pressure drop, flow velocity distribution and margin against critical heat flux occurrence. The r…
Hydraulic assessment of an upgraded pipework arrangement for the DEMO divertor plasma facing components cooling circuit
2021
Abstract In the context of the Work Package DIVertor (WPDIV) of the EUROfusion action, a research campaign has been carried out by University of Palermo in cooperation with ENEA to assess the thermal-hydraulic performances of the DEMO divertor cooling system, concentrating the attention on its 2019 Plasma Facing Components (PFCs) configuration, relevant to DEMO baseline 2017. The research activity has been performed following a theoretical-numerical technique based on the finite volume method and adopting the well-known ANSYS CFX CFD code. The PFCs cooling circuit thermal-hydraulic performances under nominal steady-state conditions, assessed mainly in terms of coolant total pressure drop, c…
Multimodal disinformation about otherness on the internet : the spread of racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic fake news in 2020
2021
This work studies the use of disinformation to construct an image of otherness through the internet. We applied a content analysis methodology to the 161 racist, xenophobic or Islamophobic fake news pieces that were discredited in 2020 by the four Spanish information verification media entities accredited by the International Fact-Checking Network: Maldita.es , Newtral , Efe Verifica and Verificat . The results show that the most commonly used formats were image and video, that disinformation was most often based on taking information out of context and deception, and that the source could not be identified. The most shared characteristics associated otherness with receiving aid, violence a…
Automated multi-dimensional liquid chromatography
2004
A comprehensive on-line sample clean-up with an integrated two-dimensional HPLC system was developed for the analysis of natural peptides. Samples comprised of endogenous peptides with molecular weights up to 20 kDa were generated from human hemofiltrate (HF) obtained from patients with chronic renal failure. The (poly-)peptides were separated using novel silica-based restricted access materials with strong cation-exchange functionalities (SCX-RAM). The size-selective sample fractionation step is followed by cation-exchange chromatography as the first dimension. The subsequent second dimension of separation is based on hydrophobic interaction using four parallel short reversed-phase (RP) co…
Multitechnique Analysis of the Hydration in Three Different Copper Paddle-Wheel Metal-Organic Frameworks
2019
The structural instability in a humid environment of the majority of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a challenging obstacle for their industrial-scale development. Recently, two water-resistant MOFs have been synthetized, STAM-1 and STAM-17-OEt. They both contain copper paddle wheels, like the well-known water-sensitive HKUST-1, but different organic linkers. The crystal lattice of both the MOFs undergoes a phase transition upon interaction with water molecules. Their unusual flexibility allows the controlled breaking of some interpaddle wheel Cu-O interactions in the so-called crumple zones, with a mechanism called hemilability, which is considered to have a crucial role for the stabili…
Confined Pt-1(1+) Water Clusters in a MOF Catalyze the Low-Temperature Water-Gas Shift Reaction with both CO2 Oxygen Atoms Coming from Water
2018
[EN] The synthesis and reactivity of single metal atoms in a low-valence state bound to just water, rather than to organic ligands or surfaces, is a major experimental challenge. Herein, we show a gram-scale wet synthesis of Pt-1(1+) stabilized in a confined space by a crystallographically well-defined first water sphere, and with a second coordination sphere linked to a metal-organic framework (MOF) through electrostatic and H-bonding interactions. The role of the water cluster is not only isolating and stabilizing the Pt atoms, but also regulating the charge of the metal and the adsorption of reactants. This is shown for the low-temperature water-gas shift reaction (WGSR: CO + H2O CO2 + H…
Single-Crystal-to-Single-Crystal Anion Exchange in a Gadolinium MOF: Incorporation of POMs and [AuCl4]−
2016
The encapsulation of functional molecules inside porous coordination polymers (also known as metal-organic frameworks, MOFs) has become of great interest in recent years at the field of multifunctional materials. In this article, we present a study of the effects of size and charge in the anion exchange process of a Gd based MOF, involving molecular species like polyoxometalates (POMs), and [AuCl4]−. This post-synthetic modification has been characterized by IR, EDAX, and single crystal diffraction, which have provided unequivocal evidence of the location of the anion molecules in the framework.

ANCORA BIGOTTI? NOTERELLE ANTI-PENALISTICHE SU LIBERA PROSTITUZIONE E OMOFOBIA
2021
Il contributo mira a mettere in evidenza come ancora oggi su alcuni argomenti, come ad esempio la prostituzione e l'omofobia, l'ordinamento stenti a fornire risposte adeguate per via della vischiosità di alcuni vecchi tabù che si pongono in contrasto con una visione laica e liberale del diritto penale.
