Heat-transfer at the interface between a metal and a non-metal: influence of ultra-thin interlayers, interface chemistry and atomic order

Maïté Blank

The Thermal Boundary Conductance (TBC) at the interface between metals and dielectrics is of key importance for heat transport in structures heterogeneous on a scale from 100 µm downwards. In this thesis the TBC of a large number of metal/dielectric couple ...

Mixed-linker UiO-66: structure-property relationships revealed by a combination of high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction and density functional theory calculations

Berend Smit, Nicola Casati, Davide Tiana

The use of mixed-linker metal-organic frameworks (MIXMOFs) is one of the most effective strategies to modulate the physical-chemical properties of MOFs without affecting the overall crystal structure. In many instances, MIXMOFs have been recognized as soli ...

Cryogenic Ion Spectroscopy of Peptides and Glycans

Chiara Masellis

Understanding the structure of biomolecules, which are directly related to physiological processes that take place in the human body, has always generated a large interest in the scientific community. In this thesis we focus our attention on two of these c ...

MOVING ALONG In biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering, and movement analysis, Italian researchers are making great strides

Silvestro Micera

In Italy, biomechanics research and the analysis of human and animal movement have had a very long history, beginning with the exceptional pioneering work of Leonardo da Vinci. In 1489, da Vinci began investigating human anatomy, including an examination o ...

From cardiac tissue engineering to heart-on-a-chip: beating challenges

Francesco Piraino

The heart is one of the most vital organs in the human body, which actively pumps the blood through the vascular network to supply nutrients to as well as to extract wastes from all other organs, maintaining the homeostasis of the biological system. Over t ...

Skill learning based catching motion control

Learned biomechanical strategies prepare the human body in kinematics and kinetics terms during interception tasks, such as throwing and catching, in real world. Based on this, we present a real-time physics-based approach that generates natural and physic ...
