In parallel, during the same period, about 5.6-million students physically came back to school from the last lockdown in February [1]. It was concretely hard for the Italian 2020 Covid-19 Emergency Technical–Scientific Committee to set new rules to get students back to class. Arduous decisions were made, especially when some barriers were difficult to be overcome. In particular, the physical distance between students would be simple to be set if classrooms had been permitted to host the same quantity of students with the right “safety space” around them. Before the SARS-CoV-2 lockdown, this safety area was quantified as 1.96 square meters.

  • Fatigue Limit by Thermal Analysis of Specimen Surface in Mono Axial Traction Test
    EPJ Web of Conferences 6,6 38010 (2010) DOI:10.1051/epjconf/20100638010 © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2010 Fatigue limit by thermal analysis of specimen surface in mono axial traction test A. Risitano1, G. Risitano2,a and C. Clienti1 1 University of Catania, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Industrial Engineering and Mechanics, 95125 Catania, Italy 2 Guglielmo Marconi University, Faculty of Applied Sciences, 00153 Rome, Italy Abstract. In this work is indicated how it could be possible to evaluate the limit stress of the thermo-elastic phase of deformation by thermo-analysing the surface of the specimen during a static traction test. Adding the temperature curve measured on a small area of the surface (the hottest) to the classic stress-strain curve, it is possible to evaluate a limit temperature T0 coincident with the beginning of the non linear trend of the curve. The corresponding stress value is coincident with the fatigue limit of the analyzed component. As an example, the results of traction tests performed on two notched specimens, where the change of linearity in the temperature curve during static traction test was evident, are reported. The corresponding value of stress was a good approximation of the fatigue limit for R = - 1, determined by the conventional method. The aim of the reported examples in this paper must be interpreted as support to the basic principle of the method and not as the results of a complete experimental planning of which we will comment in an another occasion. 1 Nomenclature

  • Mapping Excellence in National Research Systems: the Case of Italy1
    MAPPING EXCELLENCE IN NATIONAL RESEARCH SYSTEMS: THE CASE OF ITALY1 GIOVANNI ABRAMO Laboratory for Studies of Research and Technology Transfer, Dept of Management, School of Engineering, University of Rome “Tor Vergata” – Italy and Italian Research Council CIRIACO ANDREA D’ANGELO, FLAVIA DI COSTA Laboratory for Studies of Research and Technology Transfer, Dept of Management, School of Engineering, University of Rome “Tor Vergata” - Italy The study of the concept of “scientific excellence” and the methods for its measurement and evaluation is taking on increasing importance in the development of research policies in many nations. However, scientific excellence results as difficult to define in both conceptual and operational terms, because of its multi-dimensional and highly complex character. The literature on the theme is limited to few studies of an almost pioneering character. This work intends to contribute to the state of the art by exploring a bibliometric methodology which is effective, simple and inexpensive, and which further identifies “excellent” centers of research by beginning from excellence of the individual researchers affiliated with such centers. The study concentrates on the specific case of public research organizations in Italy, analyzing 109 scientific categories of research in the so called “hard” sciences and identifying 157 centers of excellence operating in 60 of these categories. The findings from this first application of the methodology should be considered exploratory and indicative. With a longer period of observation and the addition of further measurements, making the methodology more robust, it can be extended and adapted to a variety of national and supranational contexts, aiding with policy decisions at various levels.
