Advanced optimization models and methods for electrical mobility

Electric vehicle (EV) adoption is rapidly increasing, yet the development of charging infrastructure still faces strategic and operational challenges. Identifying profitable locations for new charging stations and designing effective pricing policies are central issues for both private operators and public planners. Existing works formalize the problem employing different methodologies, e.g., flow capturing model with capacity constraints, or pricing policy decisions. Nevertheless, to the bes...

Modellazione integrata e strategie di gestione termica per celle a combustibile PEM con applicazioni ai Veicoli Pesanti

The objectives of this research are focused on the modeling, analysis, and control of the fuel cell at different levels of detail: from the thermal management of the whole vehicle to the modeling and control of fuel cell auxiliary system and, finally, to the analysis of fuel cell performance as a stand-alone component. In addition, several results are established to ensure the stability of a fuel-cell subsystem, along with tools for possible controller improvements. The proposed approach prov...

AI-Driven Software Performance Engineering

Delivering efficient software systems is a pivotal requirement in today's software engineering landscape, with significant implications for financial revenues, market competitiveness, and user digital experience. Software Performance Engineering (SPE) provides a well-established set of practices for rigorous performance assurance throughout the entire software lifecycle, from early development to post-deployment. However, as system complexity continues to grow, this task becomes increasingly ...

Comunicazioni Ottiche a Multiplazione Spaziale

Modern information society is largely enabled by information and communications technologies, whose foundation lies in a worldwide optical fiber network extending over billions of kilometers of fiber that interconnects countries and continents. By harnessing the enormous potential bandwidth of optical fibers, along with the utilization of both polarizations of light, advanced modulation techniques, and coherent detection, data rates up to 100 Tb/s can be achieved over standard single-mode fi...

Studio dei meccanismi cellulari influenzati da iperglicemia e infiammazione nell’obesità e nel diabete di tipo 2

Insulin resistance represents a central pathogenic feature of metabolic diseases and is tightly linked to chronic low-grade inflammation. While inflammatory cytokines are well established contributors to impaired insulin action, the molecular mechanisms through which inflammatory signalling integrates with metabolic dysfunction remain incompletely understood. In particular, the contribution of chemokine systems, traditionally studied in immune cell recruitment, to insulin resistance in metabo...

I PROCEDIMENTI AMMINISTRATVI IN MATERIA AMBIENTALE. TUTELA DELL'AMBIENTE E SEMPLIFICAZIONI

The study reconstructs the path that led to the introduction of environmental matters into international, European, and national law, through the analysis of the main international agreements and European treaties, starting with the 1972 Stockholm Convention. The analysis was crucial to understanding how the environment became first a matter and then a matter of public interest, culminating in the enshrining of fundamental principles in Law No. 1 of 2022. The study highlights the importance o...

Exploring Metal-Organic Frameworks as Multifunctional Materials for Biological and Environmental Applications

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have attracted increasing attention over the past two decades due to their highly ordered crystalline nature, large specific surface area, possibility of structural modulation, and versatility in host–guest interactions. These unique characteristics make them promising materials not only for traditional applications such as gas storage and catalysis, but also in more advanced fields, including biomedicine and environmental purification. This doctoral thesis is ...
