The Role of Italian Fighter Aircraft in Crisis Management Operations: Trends and Needs
Italian combat aircraft have played an increasing important role in the international missions in which Italy has participated in the post-Cold War era – from the First Gulf War to Libya, including Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Afghanistan. This participation has been a significant tool of Italy’s defense policy, and therefore of its foreign policy towards crisis areas relevant to its national interests (from the Western Balkans to the Mediterranean), as well as towards its most important allies within NATO and the EU. This IAI publication analyses the role of these military capabilities in recent operations and their prospects for the future. In fact, a number of trends can be inferred...
Non-Polysaccharide Plant Polymeric Materials
Plants are the most important renewable source of feedstock for polymeric materials. They are a resource of monomers and macromolecules after the appropriate chemical treatment. By analogy with the petrochemistry industry, plant macromolecules are depolymerized into simpler units which are generally chemically modified and re-bound to produce new polymers. The properties of these polymers are usually tailored by small chemical changes in their molecular structure, or by the polymerization of plant monomers with other molecules. Another interesting strategy for the formation of polymeric materials is the direct use of plant macromolecules in the form of blends, composites, grafted polymers, m...
The First Outstanding 50 Years of “Università Politecnica delle Marche”
The book describes the significant multidisciplinary research findings at the Università Politecnica delle Marche and the expected future advances. It addresses some of the most dramatic challenges posed by today’s fast-growing, global society and the changes it has caused. It also discusses solutions to improve the wellbeing of human beings. The book covers the main research achievements in the different disciplines of the physical sciences and engineering, as well as several research lines developed at the university’s Faculty of Engineering in the fields of electronic and information engineering, telecommunications, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, manufacturing technologies, energy, advanced materials, chemistry, physics of matter, mathematical sciences, geotechnical engineering, circular economy, urban planning, construction engineering, infrastructures and environment protection, technologies and digitization of the built environment and cultural heritage. It highlights the international relevance and multidisciplinarity of research at the university as well as the planned research lines for the next years.
Special Topics on Materials Science and Technology - The Italian Panorama
This volume collects selected papers presented and discussed during the 9th National Conference organized by the Italian Association of Materials Engineering, AIMAT from 2008 at Piano di Sorrento (Napoli, Italy). It gives a valuable representation of highlights of the research and development activities running in 21 Italian universities and resear
Clinical Challenges in the Biopsychosocial Interface
Psychosomatic medicine may be considered to be one of the leading approaches to treating comorbid disorders and conditions. The chapters of this volume are written by experts in the field and present the newest developments in psychosomatic medicine, from basic science to clinical approaches and novel treatments. Discussed are communications with patients suffering from serious illness, basic science and management of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Further psychiatric symptomatology in Huntington's disease and its management as well as coping with losses, grief and mourning in prostate cancer are reviewed. Psychocutaneous diseases, the role of telomeres in stress and mental illness, dimensional psychopharmacology in somatizing patients and many other clinically important areas are also covered. Papers in this publication offer new information on the advances of contemporary psychosomatic medicine in variety of areas previously not sufficiently covered and are of valuable reading for psychiatrists, psychologists, internists, oncologists and primary care specialists.
Times of Polymers (TOP) and Composites
The International Conference on “Times of Polymers (TOP) and Composites” was held in September, 2008 (Ischia-Italy). This was the fourth of a series of biennial work shops on “polymers timescales” resulting from a joint initiative of the Second University of Naples-SUN and the University of Naples Federico II. Scientists from chemistry to physics to engineering areas formed a homogeneous community as the contributions, even if spanning very different topics, subtend the concept of timescale of polymer based materials. In all, about 150 papers were submitted by scientists from all over the world. The conference is organised in oral sessions subdivided into three main general topics, n...
In mongolfiera contro un albero
Il bilancio di Grassia, giornalista alla Stampa, è più o meno questo: quattromila articoli firmati; viaggi in cinquanta paesi dei cinque continenti per gli esteri, l'economia, la terza pagina; interviste a centinaia, compresi Henry Kissinger, Kofi Annan, Leah Rabin e Alba Parietti; due lanci spaziali (visti) e un volo in mongolfiera (fatto) sul deserto rosso australiano con atterraggio d'emergenza. I ricordi dell'inviato si alternano in questo collage alla quiete apparente dei pomeriggi in redazione, sempre cogliendo lo humour che ogni volta lo spunto di cronaca offre perché Grassia è capace di interessarsi al backstage, alle emozioni e ai pensieri delle persone normali che fanno e leggono i giornali. Con prefazione di Massimo Gramellini.
Savoia corsari e re del Madagascar
Una fantasmagoria di vicende corsare, gialli storici, omicidi col veleno, principini sostituiti in culla, processi alle streghe, roghi e squartamenti, papi, antipapi e Massoneria: ci sono pagine della storia dei Savoia di cui finora si è parlato troppo poco perché il pubblico possa dirsene davvero informato, anche solo per un verdetto del tipo “io non ci credo” con cognizione di causa. Oltretutto, potrebbero essere proprio questi gli eventi più curiosi e interessanti della dinastia. In questo libro se ne tratta facendo sempre riferimento, come certificato di garanzia, a fonti edite e accreditate dalla storiografia, nonché ai documenti degli Archivi di Stato di Torino e di Cagliari, a loro volta aperti e consultabili. E ciò perché a volte i segreti si nascondono proprio là dove tutti li possono vedere. Magari ne risulterà una storia dei Savoia come non l’avete mai letta o sentita, ma se alcuni racconti vi sembreranno improbabili o persino stralunati, in nessun caso si tratta di fake news.
Psychological Factors Affecting Medical Conditions
In DSM-IV, the relationships between physical illness and psychological factors are grouped under the classifications 'Somatoform Disorders' and 'Psychological Factors Affecting Medical Conditions'(PFAMC). This volume introduces the 'Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research' (DCPR) as a new proposal for the PFAMC section of DSM-V. The DCPR approach focuses on psychological characteristics of patients presenting symptoms across different medical disorders related to the clinically relevant psychosocial constructs of abnormal illness behavior, i.e. somatization, demoralization, type A behavior, alexithymia, conversion, and irritability. The distinct DCPR categories are consistent with co...
Times of Polymers
The papers presented at the 2nd International Conference of "Times of Polymers – TOP", a biennial meeting of a number of scientists working within the area of timescales of polymers with respect to processing properties, structure and their mutual relationships.
