The Universe of Digital Sky Surveys : Meeting to Honour the 70th Birthday of Massimo Capaccioli
No full textThese are the proceedings of a meeting in honour of Massimo Capaccioli at the occasion of his 70th birthday. The conference aimed at summarizing the results from the main current and past digital sky survey projects and at discussing how these can be used to inspire ongoing projects and better plan the future ones. Over the last decades, digital sky surveys performed with dedicated telescopes and finely-tuned wide-field cameras, have revolutionized astronomy. They have become the main tool to investigate the nearby and far away universe, thus providing new insights in the understanding of the galaxy structure and assembly across time, the dark components of the universe, as well as the history of our own galaxy. They have also opened the time domain leading to a new understanding of the transient phenomena in the universe. By providing public access to top quality data, digital surveys have also changed the everyday practice of astronomers who have become less dependent on direct access to large observing facilities. The full scientific exploitation of these surveys has also triggered significant advances in both space and ground based technology and in the field of multi-object spectroscopy. The various sections of this book are devoted to different relevant aspects of astrophysics in the era of digital sky surveys and include both review and shorter, more focused contributions
Ethanol/Gasoline Blends as Alternative Fuel in Last Generation Spark-Ignition Engines: A Review on CO and HC Engine Out Emissions
No full textAmong the alternative fuels existing for spark-ignition engines, ethanol is considered worldwide as an important renewable fuel when mixed with pure gasoline because of its favorable physicochemical properties. An in-depth and updated investigation on the issue of CO and HC engine out emissions related to use of ethanol/gasoline fuels in spark-ignition engines is therefore necessary. Starting from our experimental studies on engine out emissions of a last generation spark-ignition engine fueled with ethanol/gasoline fuels, the aim of this new investigation is to offer a complete literature review on the present state of ethanol combustion in last generation spark-ignition engines under real working conditions to clarify the possible change in CO and HC emissions. In the first section of this paper, a comparison between physicochemical properties of ethanol and gasoline is examined to assess the practicability of using ethanol as an alternative fuel for spark-ignition engines and to investigate the effect on engine out emissions and combustion efficiency. In the next section, this article focuses on the impact of ethanol/gasoline fuels on CO and HC formation. Many studies related to combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions in spark-ignition engines fueled with ethanol/gasoline fuels are thus discussed in detail. Most of these experimental investigations conclude that the addition of ethanol with gasoline fuel mixtures can really decrease the CO and HC exhaust emissions of last generation spark-ignition engines in several operating conditions
Strategie per il riuso adattivo del Monastero di Sant’Agostino a Vicopelago
No full textThe theme of the reuse of disused religious cultural heritage has been the focus of attention in the national and international debate for years. The vastness and importance of this heritage, a connotation element of the landscape and of the life of the communities born around it, highlights with extreme urgency the open question on its future and therefore on the identification of strategies consistent with the complex of values of which it is bearer. The different approaches adopted in cases of reuse already carried out showed the strengths and weaknesses of the implemented processes and drew attention to the need to identify shared guiding criteria for the development of an exportable but also adaptable methodology to different contexts. The summer school “New scenarios for disused monastic heritages. Lucca cases between monastic memories and Puccini's legacy” represented an opportunity for fruitful interdisciplinary debate to deepen the theme of the reuse of religious cultural heritage from both a theoretical-cognitive and practical-operational perspective. Starting from the study of some good practices, the experimentation on the case study of the former Monastery of Sant’Agostino in Vicopelago (Lucca) led to the development of various project proposals that were presented to local stakeholders, as the first outcome of the studies conducted and as the first step in the structure conversion process.Il tema del riuso del patrimonio culturale religioso dismesso è da anni al centro dell’attenzione nel dibattito nazionale ed internazionale. La vastità e l’importanza di tale patrimonio, elemento connotante del paesaggio e della vita delle comunità nate attorno ad esso, evidenzia con estrema urgenza la questione aperta sul suo futuro e quindi sull’individuazione di strategie coerenti con il complesso di valori di cui è portatore. Il diverso approccio adottato in casi di riuso già realizzati ha mostrato punti di forza e fragilità dei processi implementati e ha richiamato l’attenzione sulla necessità di individuare dei criteri-guida condivisi per l’elaborazione di una metodologia esportabile ma anche adattabile ai diversi contesti. La summer school “Nuovi scenari per patrimoni monastici dismessi. Casi lucchesi tra memorie monastiche ed eredità pucciniana” ha rappresentato un’occasione di proficuo dibattito interdisciplinare per approfondire il tema del riuso del patrimonio culturale religioso da una prospettiva sia teorico-conoscitiva che pratico-operativa. Partendo dallo studio di alcune buone pratiche, la sperimentazione sul caso studio dell’ex Monastero di Sant’Agostino a Vicopelago (Lucca) ha portato all’elaborazione di diverse proposte progettuali che sono state presentate agli stakeholder locali, come primo esito degli studi condotti e come primo step del processo di riconversione della struttura
