Sal A. Giunta: Medal of Honor Recipient and Author, Living with Honor
No full textBorn in Clinton, Iowa, in 1985, Salvatore Sal Augustine Giunta decided to enlist at age 17, while working in a Subway sandwich shop. He joined the Army in November 2003. He attended Infantry One Station Unit Training and the Basic Airborne Course at Fort Benning, Ga., before being assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, Vicenza, Italy, in 2004. Promoted to the rank of staff sergeant in 2009, Giunta completed two combat tours to Afghanistan totaling 27 months of deployment. On Oct. 25, 2007, while conducting a patrol as team leader, Giunta and his team were navigating through the treacherous terrain of Afghanistan\u27s Korengal Valley when they were ambushed by a well-armed and well-coordinated insurgent force. While under heavy enemy fire, Giunta immediately sprinted toward cover and engaged the enemy. Seeing that his squad leader had fallen and believing that he had been injured, Giunta exposed himself to withering enemy fire and raced toward his squad leader, helped him to cover and administered medical aid. While administering first aid, Giunta\u27s body armor was struck by enemy fire. Without regard to the ongoing fire, he engaged the enemy before prepping and throwing grenades, using the explosions for cover in order to conceal his position. Attempting to reach additional wounded fellow soldiers who were separated from the squad, Giunta and his team encountered a barrage of enemy fire that forced them to the ground. The team continued forward and upon reaching the wounded soldiers, Giunta realized that another soldier was still separated from the element. Giunta then advanced on his own initiative. As he crested the top of a hill, he observed two insurgents carrying away an American soldier. He immediately engaged the enemy, killing one and wounding the other. Upon reaching the wounded soldier, he began to provide medical aid as his squad caught up and provided security. For his extraordinary gallantry, Giunta was awarded the Medal of Honor, making him the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor for service in Iraq or Afghanistan, the first living service member to be awarded the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War and the eighth service member to receive the nation\u27s highest military decoration for valor in Iraq and Afghanistan. Giunta\u27s other military decorations include the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Army Commendation Medal with oak leaf cluster, Army Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal, two Army Good Conduct Medals and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal. Giunta retired from the Army in June 2011, and in 2012 authored Living with Honor. He currently lives in Colorado with his wife, Jennifer, and daughter
A thermal stress finite element analysis of isotropic and laminated beams via unified formulation
No full textIn this work the mechanical and thermal behaviour of three-dimensional isotropic and laminated beams is investigated. The beam-like three dimensional structure is modelled through refined 1D finite elements obtained via hierarchical expansion of the displacement field over the cross-section coordinates. The approximation order of the displacements is a free parameter that leads to the formulation of a family of several beam elements. Linear, quadratic and cubic one-dimensional finite elements are considered. The governing algebraic equations are obtained via the Principle of Virtual Displacements.The temperature field is obtained by exactly solving Fourier's heat conduction equation and it is treated as an external load within the mechanical analysis. Results in terms of displacements and stresses are validated towards three-dimensional FEM results as well as analytical solutions. Numerical investigations show that the proposed finite elements yield accurate yet computationally efficient solutions for the three-dimensional stress state generated by the thermal load
Research and development subsidies: the effectiveness of a regional policy
No full textThe empirical evidence concerning the impact of Research and Development (R&D henceforth) subsidies on both sides of the innovation process (input and output) and the overall performance of the firm is mixed. Moreover, while the role of regions in implementing innovation policies has increased since the last decade, little is known on the effectiveness of a regional policy. This paper analyzes the effectiveness of a local R&D policy implemented in the Italian province of Trento, during the period 2002-07. The econometric analysis is based on counterfactual models. We evaluate the achievements of the local policy maker with respect to the following objectives: (i) prompt additional investment in innovation; (ii) enhance the overall performance of subsidized firms operating in the province of Trento. We find that R&D subsidies positively affect investments in intangible assets and human capital, while they have no effect on firms’ turnover, labor productivity and profitabilit
A thermal stress analysis of functionally graded beam structures by hierarchical finite elements
No full textIn this study, the thermoelastic behaviour of three-dimensional functionally graded beams is investigated. The temperature field is treated as an external load within the mechanical analysis and it is obtained by exactly solving Fourier's heat conduction equation. The three-dimensional beam is modelled through advanced one-dimensional finite elements derived via hierarchical expansion of the displacements over the cross-section. The approximation order of the displacement field is a free parameter that leads to the formulation of a family of several beam elements. The number of nodes per elements is also a free parameter. Linear, quadratic and cubic variations over the beam axis are considered. The governing algebraic equations are obtained via the Principle of Virtual Displacements. Displacements and stresses are evaluated and results are validated towards three-dimensional FEM results as well as analytical solutions. The temperature load results in a three-dimensional stress state that calls for accurate models. Numerical investigations show that the proposed finite elements yield accurate yet computationally efficient solutions

R&D incentives: the effectiveness of a place-based policy
No full textThe empirical evidence concerning the impact of R&D subsidies on both sides of the innovation process (input and output) and the overall performance of the firm is mixed. Moreover, while the role of regions in implementing innovation policies has increased since the last decade, little is known on the effectiveness of regional policy. This paper analyzes the effectiveness of a local R&D policy implemented in the Italian province of Trento, during the period 2002-07. The econometric analysis is based on counterfactual models. We evaluate the achievements of the local policy maker with respect to the following objectives: (i) prompt additional investment in innovation; (ii) enhance the overall competitiveness of the business sector in the regional area. We find that R&D incentives positively affect investments in intangible assets and human capital, while they have no effect on firms’ turnover, labor productivity and profitability
