  • The First Diffusion of the Covid-19 Outbreak in Northern Italy
    Epidemiol. Methods 2021; 10(s1): 20200047 Mauro Magnoni* The first diffusion of the Covid-19 outbreak in Northern Italy: an analysis based on a simplified version of the SIR model https://doi.org/10.1515/em-2020-0047 Received October 29, 2020; accepted March 10, 2021; published online March 25, 2021 Abstract: In this paper an analysis of the first diffusion of the Covid-19 outbreak occurred in late February 2020 in Northern Italy is presented. In order to study the time evolution of the epidemic it was decided to analyze in particular as the most relevant variable the number of hospitalized people, considered as the less biased proxy of the real number of infected people. An approximate solution of the infected equation was found from a simplified version of the SIR model. This solution was used as a tool for the calculation ofthe basic reproduction number R0 in the early phase of the epidemic for the most affected Northern Italian regions (Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia), giving values of R0 ranging from 2.2 to 3.1. Finally, a theoretical formulation of the infection rate is proposed, introducing a new parameter, the infection length, characteristic of the disease. Keywords: approximate solution; infectious lenght; SIR model. Introduction A sudden increase of cases of Covid-19 diseases originated by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 struck Northern Italy and Lombardy in particular,inlate February 2020 (Distante et al. 2020; Ital- ian National Institute of Health (ISS); Italian Ministry of Health).

  • SUGGESTIONS for POSSIBLE SHORT TRIPS to Get An
    SUGGESTIONS FOR POSSIBLE SHORT TRIPS To get an introduction about the area near the conference: Why You Really Should Visit Italy's Outstanding Barolo Wine Region https://www.forbes.com/sites/catherinesabino/2018/10/28/why-you-really-should-visit-italys- outstanding-barolo-wine-region/#7bd3de632f89 Note that the Langa district is best visited by car. Because of its territory, the district is not accessible by train (except for Alba, which is connected to the railway system). However, driving in the Langa district should not be a problem since it is in the countryside and not in a big city. For reference, Bra and Alba have ~30,000 people each. Some of the villages referenced below are much smaller: Pollenzo (a subdivision of Bra) and Barolo have only ~700 people. Furthermore, besides the picturesque hills and the historic castles and buildings, this area is also about food and wine. So you can pair some of the suggestions below with the restaurant suggestions also available on the conference website. There are also several wine tours that are normally organized in the area and, besides the suggestions below, you can just search online for what suits your interest. 1) Tour of the Barolo Langa district: Barolo, La Morra, and Verduno Note: Requires a car. Also, distances are short and so one can break these itineraries into smaller ones as desired. Barolo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barolo,_Piedmont) is the town in the middle of the vineyards of nebbiolo grapes that produce the famous wine of the same name. It is a medieval village developed at the foot of the castle.

  • Borehole Thermal Energy Storage) Y = 0.0137X + 15.873 23 to 160 Days)
    Ground Heat Storage Systems: perspective in Mediterranean environments Jessica Maria Chicco,1* Nicolò Giordano2, Giuseppe Mandrone1 1Department of Earth Sciences, University of Turin, Via Valperga Caluso 35, 10125 Italy 2Institut national de la recherche scientifique, Centre Eau Terre Environnement, 490 Rue de la Couronne, Québec, QC G1K 9A9, Canada * [email protected] 1. Introduction and state of the art Geothermal energy is one of the more environmentally friendly energy source, continuously expanding between the renewable energies, and is expected to more than triple until 2050 (International Energy Agency, 2018). In particular, cooling down is catching on. As a result of populations and incomes growth the use of air conditioners is becoming increasingly common, especially in commercial buildings and high-density residences of the hottest world regions, like Mediterranean areas. A new frontier is covered by ground heat storage systems such as Underground Thermal Energy Storage (UTES). These systems contribute to a large-scale energy efficiency and a long-term storage of thermal energy, significantly reducing environmental impacts, increasing the potential uptake and recovering heat flows that are otherwise lost. They are commonly used in Northern Europe (e.g. Norway, The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden) and in Northern America (e.g. Canada). Focusing on Mediterranean Countries, cooling demand is especially higher than the heating one. It is usually covered through refrigeration systems such as vapor compression devices, which employs electrically driven compressors to transfer energy (Jakubcionis and Carlsson 2018). One of the objective of this project, is then to implement the current studies, such as monitoring thermal underground thermal behavior and modelling of potential UTES resources, transferring this model to other hydro-geological contexts as well.
