this paper describes a study that starts with an analysis of typical energy demand profiles in a hospital setting followed by a case study of a combined cooling, heating, and power (cchp) generation system.cchp is an autonomous system that combines the generation of electrical, heating, and cooling energy.the driving units are two high-efficiency gas engines that produce electrical and heat ene...

Recent studies suggest that pulsars could be strong sources of TeV muon neutrinos provided positive ions are accelerated by pulsar polar caps to PeV energies. In such a situation muon neutrinos are produced through the delta resonance in interactions of pulsar accelerated ions with its thermal radiation field. High energy gamma rays also should be produced simultaneously in pulsar environment a...

Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) is increasingly used to investigate moisture distribution in Municipal Waste Landfills, especially when leachate is injected in waste to enhance its biodegradation. It is proposed here to theoretically assess the quality of ERT mapping, using COMSOL Multiphysics' simulations of both hydrodynamical and geophysical aspects. Leachate injection is simulated u...

We present a multidisciplinary approach for characterization of a crude oil-contaminated site (Trecate, Italy), integrating geophysical data, such as subsoil electrical potential (in millivolts) and electrical resistivity (in ohm meters) distribution, with hydrogeological and bio-chemical data. Self-potential measurements have been evaluated together with active geoelectrical measurements and h...

Many-body Green's function perturbation theories, such as the GW and Bethe-Salpeter formalisms, are starting to be routinely applied to study charged and neutral electronic excitations in molecular organic systems relevant to applications in photovoltaics, photochemistry or biology. In parallel, density functional theory and its time-dependent extensions significantly progressed along the line ...
