Voluntary Export Restraints in a Trade Model with Sticky Price: Linear and Nonlinear Feedback Solutions
No full textWe revisit the adoption of voluntary export restraints (VERS) in the differential Cournot game with sticky price and intraindustry trade by Dockner and Haug (1991). The analysis relies on linear and nonlinear feedback strategies, to encompass the special cases considered in Fujiwara (2010) and to show that a VER may arise in correspondence of any free trade equilibrium generated by feedback information such that competition is at least as strong as under open-loop rules. This result can be interpreted in the light of the dynamic formulation of conjectural variations due to Dockner (1992)

La strategia del progetto ABRACADABRA per azzerare il consumo energetico e bilanciare i costi nella riqualificazione degli edifici esistenti
Get PDFLa sfida energetica dell’Europa 2020 riguarda principalmente la riqualificazione energetica il patrimonio costruito. Contrariamente alle previsioni e agli indirizzi dettati dal BPIE che indicano al 4% il livello target di riqualificazioni annuali, ad oggi, ogni anno, solo il 1,2% degli edifici esistenti in Europa viene rinnovato. Il rinnovamento del parco edilizio esistente, con l’obiettivo NZEB, è difatti frenato dalle risorse economiche necessarie per procedere a tali adeguamenti, che presentano un alto livello di rischio finanziario e di investimento iniziale e lunghi tempi di rientro della spesa. Sviluppare azioni concertate e innovative, colmare il divario degli investimenti richiesti per l’efficienza energetica e contribuire al rilancio del mercato delle costruzioni e alla creazione di nuovi posti di lavoro, sono le sfide da affrontare per la riqualificazione del patrimonio esistente. Il progetto ABRACADABRA (Assistant Buildings’ addition to Retrofit, Adopt, Cure And Develop the Actual Buildings up to zero energy, Activating a market for deep renovation) mira a identificare le possibili soluzioni tecnico-economiche per ottenere un sostanziale incremento del valore immobiliare attraverso la trasformazione energetica e architettonica degli edifici esistenti. L’articolo illustra i benefici dell’approccio basato sulla strategia delle addizioni volumetriche come soluzione in grado di ridurre consistentemente i tempi di ritorno degli investimenti, e incrementare la qualità abitativa attraverso la sinergia tra nuovo intervento e pre-esistente. In questo contesto, il progetto mira a promuovere un cambiamento paradigmatico che investe anche il settore normativo e procedurale allo scopo di accelerare l’adozione di strategie non convenzionali e non esclusivamente “energy-related” nell’obiettivo di energia quasi zero negli edifici esistenti. Viene presentato lo studio di fattibilità condotto su diversi casi di studio sui quali sono applicate e analizzate diverse soluzioni: dalla ristrutturazione di tipo standard a vari scenari di intervento incrementale. Tutte le soluzioni vengono analizzate e confrontate in termini di risparmio energetico e costo-beneficio

Design-oriented modelling of different quenching solutions in induction plasma synthesis of copper nanoparticles
Get PDFThe aim of this paper is to compare the effects of different mechanisms underlying the synthesis of copper nanoparticles using an atmospheric pressure radio-frequency induction thermal plasma. A design oriented modelling approach was used to parametrically investigate trends and impact of different parameters on the synthesis process through a thermo-fluid dynamic model coupled with electromagnetic field equations for describing the plasma behaviour and a moment method for describing nanoparticles nucleation, growth and transport. The effect of radiative losses from Cu vapour on the precursor evaporation efficiency is highlighted, with occurrence of loading effect even with low precursor feed rate due to the decrease in plasma temperature. A method to model nanoparticle deposition on a porous wall is proposed, in which a sticking coefficient is employed to model particle sticking on the porous wall used to carry a quench gas flow into the chamber. Two different reaction chamber designs combined with different quench gas injection strategies (injection through a porous wall for “active” quenching; injection of a shroud gas for “passive” quenching) are analysed in terms of process yield and size distribution of the synthetized nanoparticles. Conclusion can be drawn on the characteristics of each quenching strategy in terms of throughput and mean diameter of the synthesized nanoparticles

Un modello di Team Based Learning per la ricerca empirica in educazione
No full textAttraverso l’insegnamento della “metodologia della ricerca”, gli studenti acquisiscono competenze hard e soft, le quali esercitano una funzione positiva nell’esercizio delle future professioni. Per questa ragione, la qualità dei metodi didattici, utilizzati per l’insegnamento di tale disciplina, riveste un notevole interesse, in quanto finalizzati a far acquisire capacità di investigazione e di risoluzione dei problemi. L’obiettivo del presente lavoro è di proporre un modello didattico, il Team Based Learning (TBL), considerato valido per imparare a “fare ricerca empirica”. In particolare, attraverso il TBL è possibile sviluppare il pensiero critico e acquisire competenze nel campo della decision making, in modo che gli studenti imparino non solo a progettare sulla carta un itinerario di ricerca, ma anche a realizzarlo e a saper prendere decisioni, sulla base dei dati emersi dall’indagine. Inoltre, il contributo illustra i presupposti epistemologici che sorreggono il TBL e i vantaggi e i limiti presenti nel suo utilizzo
