Un "patrimonio" per lo sviluppo turistico di Federica Frediani Rivista del Turismo n° 5/6, 2001 Quando si parla di "turismo culturale", si menziona spesso, anche se nella maggior parte dei casi piuttosto superficialmente, il cosiddetto... more
Il principale obiettivo di questo saggio è illustrare le rappresentazioni dell'Oriente nella letteratura del viaggio delle donne nel XIX e XX secolo. Da una parte, il saggio si focalizza sulle considerazioni estetiche della relazione... more
In Ersilia, to establish the relationships that sustain the city's life, the inhabitants stretch strings from the corners of the houses, white or black or grey or black-and-white according to whether they mark a relationship of blood,... more
Ecco un abstract per il paper di Simone Mirabella: --- **Abstract** Questo studio esplora l'evoluzione e le potenzialità delle casseforme gonfiabili nel campo delle costruzioni, con un focus sull'uso combinato con il calcestruzzo e... more
Many architects of the modern movement who, in theory, refused luxury nonetheless responded to the demand for it. Richard J. Neutra was one of them: Although he mostly rejected luxury in his writings, he gained fame for his skills in... more
Urban planning almost never occurs according to the schema in which a solitary architectural genius scales a mountain, receives enlightenment, descends again, and provides to the grateful population their fully formed concept. Much more... more
Cet article a été réalisé dans le cadre du projet de recherche FNS La montagne négociée. Tourisme et régulations territoriales dans les Alpes, 1870-1970. Subside de recherche n°140325. 2 Cette transition a ses origines dans l'essor des... more
In the current market, the specific annual energy yield (kWh/kWp) of a PV system is gaining in importance due to its direct link to the financial returns for possible investors who typically demand an accuracy of 5% in this prediction.... more
In order to examine the quality and reliability of the on the market most sold modules, since 1993 the LEEE-TISO testing centre carried out systematic tests under real operating conditions. Project planners, designer and installers have... more
Two sets of modules have been sent around to different testing installations across Europe, one set to laboratories performing indoor calibrations and one set to laboratories performing outdoor power and energy ratings. The results show... more
The LEEE-TISO testing centre for PV components has, since 1991, carried out systematic tests, under real operating conditions, on the most important modules currently on the market. PV c-Si modules coming from production shows a typical... more
A model for investigating the dynamic behaviour of solar cells, which allows the simulation of the measurements process with flash solar simulators, is presented in this paper. This model is then applied to the simulation of measurement... more
The aim of the collaboration between the LEEE-TISO and the ESTI laboratory (JRC, Ispra), is to determine the Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) of the first PV plant connected to the public electrical grid in Europe (1982). This entails... more
At the Testing Centre for photovoltaic components (TISO -LEEE) the modules, chosen among the ones most frequently used in the PV power grid connected plants in Switzerland, undergo a series of tests in order to verify their... more
Power P "at STC" (1000 W/m2, Tc=25°C, AM1.5 spectrum) of PV modules, the only standard parameter stated by the manufacturers, only partially describes module performance and does not give any information about energy production: in fact... more
In May 1982, the first European grid-connected PV plant came into operation. The objective of this array was to provide a technologically advanced facility of medium size giving practical information for the planning of future... more
