Moltiplicatori di frequenza CMOS per applicazioni in banda E

Il progetto di ricerca consiste di un quadruplicatore di frequenza basato su due duplicatori push-push in cascata. I duplicatori di frequenza push-push hanno una elevata reiezione armonica ma soffrono di una limitata efficienza di potenza e guadagno di conversione, dovuto principalmente al feedback della seconda armonica. I riflettori armonici convenzionali riducono al minimo questo feedback indesiderato introducendo una risonanza di modo comune sulla seconda armonica con l'inconveniente di u...

Indagine sulla relazione tra nanostruttura e processi per spingere il fotovoltaico basato su perovskiti per energia solare pulita

Comprehensive Genetic Assessment of Endometriosis: Integrating a GWAS Approach with Replication and Sub-Phenotype Evaluation

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent condition affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age, characterized by ectopic endometrial-like tissue that causes pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort, and infertility. This study integrated comprehensive genotype data, high-quality imputation, and detailed phenotypic characterization in an Italian cohort of surgically and histologically confirmed endometriosis cases, aiming to elucidate the gene...

Sustainable Active Transportation: The Psychophysiological Benefits of Motor-Assisted Cycling

Introduction: Electric motor-assisted cycling (e-biking) has become a popular mode of sustainable active transportation, providing physical and environmental benefits. Despite increasing interest, few studies have examined the physiological and psychological impact of different motor assistance levels in cycling. This study aims to evaluate the effects of high, light, and no motor assistance on cardiovascular and metabolic demands, perceived exertion, and affective responses in physically act...

Medicinal mushrooms as recycling bio-agents for nutraceutical applications

Agricultural waste, a significant environmental challenge, is increasingly being recognized as a resource for eco-friendly and sustainable solutions. This PhD project investigates an eco-friendly way method to recycle hazelnut shells, an agricultural byproduct, through the cultivation of the lignicolous medicinal mushroom Lentinus tigrinus. This approach aligns with circular economy principles, aiming to reduce waste and maximize resource reuse. The project focuses on two main objectives: the...

Omics detection on Hericium genus: effects on human health?

This PhD project aimed to investigate the chemical profile and neuroprotective properties of Hericium erinaceus (Bull.) Pers. using an innovative OMICs approach, integrating NMR metabolomics, proteomics, and HPLC untargeted metabolomics. To get the aim of the project it was necessary to collaborate with multiple Italian research institutions. The research focused on understanding the differences among different strains, and detailing the chemical composition of H. erinaceus, with an emphasis ...

Processi di piattaformizzazione nella produzione intermediale della popular music: micromaterialità, metodi digitali e immaginari musicali

La presente ricerca indaga le trasformazioni della musica nell'era della piattaformizzazione, focalizzandosi sulle piattaforme digitali e le loro modalità di mediazione dei contenuti musicali. Partendo da un'analisi storico-teorica delle mediazioni digitali, è introdotto il concetto di micromaterialità per descrivere la complessa interazione di elementi tecnologici, sociali e culturali che caratterizza la musica piattaformizzata, inoltre viene approfondito lo statuto dell’oggetto musicale pia...

Design and Development of a Wireless Sensors Network for Telemetry Acquisition in Space Launcher Applications

In the aerospace field, weight reduction is of paramount importance. The main objective of this PhD work, in collaboration with ASI (Agenzia spaziale italiana) and TEMIS s.r.l., was to de- velop a novel wireless sensor network to acquire telemetry data in aerospace environments. Wireless sensing introduces many advantages with respect to the use of wired sensors, such as less costs deriving from less weight, and flexibility in arranging sensors also in places where wires cannot be placed. Add...
