On the NDP onset in pre-ignition transient of high performance SRMs: VEGA Z9A experience

This paper discusses the early phase of the ignition transient of the VEGA Launcher's third stage solid rocket motor, Zefiro 9A. During the first two firing tests of the Z9A SRM (QM2 and VT1) a peculiar unexpected negative force peak and a significant pressure unbalance in the motor chamber were…

Monitoring of an ancient landslide phenomenon by GBSAR technique in the Maierato town (Calabria, Italy)

The work deals the monitoring of a single ancient landslide detected in the Vonace area, southwards of Maierato (Calabria, Italy). A 18-hour-measurement campaign has been carried out using the Ground-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GBSAR) interferometry technique carried between March, 25th and…

Use of an Advanced SAR Monitoring Technique to Monitor Old Embankment Dams

The work mainly discusses the use of the Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GBSAR) interferometry technique to observe and control the behavior of earthfill or rockfill embankments for dam impoundments. This non-invasive technique provides overall displacements patterns measured with a sub-…

Land cover mapping capability of multispectral thermal data: The TASI-600 case study

This study shows the land cover mapping accuracy retrievable by the TASI-600 thermal airborne multispectral sensor and describes some of the classification results tested on the thermal preprocessed data for a rural area. In the paper is provided an overview of the principal TASI-600…

Trust-Based Enforcement of Security Policies

Two conflicting high-level goals govern the enforcement of security policies, abridged in the phrase ``high security at a low cost''. While these drivers seem irreconcilable, formal modelling languages and automated verification techniques can facilitate the task of finding the right balance. We…

Nonminimally coupled gravity and planetary motion

The effects of a nonminimally coupled curvature-matter model of gravity on planetary orbits are computed. The parameters of the model are then constrained by the observation of Mercury orbit.

Innovative remote-sensed thermodynamical indices to identify vegetation stress and surface dryness: application to southern Italy over the last decade

Surface and vegetation monitoring is a key activity in analyzing and understanding how climate change is impacting natural resources. Moreover, identifying vegetation stress using remote-sensed data has proven to be essential in assessing said understanding, as well as in the effort to prevent or…

The role of chaos for inert and reacting transport

We investigate passive transport of inert and reacting substances in fluid flows. As for inert transport we mainly focus on the Lagrangian properties. In particular, we study the single particle dynamics in order to investigate the conditions for observing standard or anomalous diffusion. This…

Generalized de la Vallée Poussin operators for Jacobi weights

Starting from a natural generalization of the trigonometric case, we construct a de la Vall\'ee Poussin approximation process in the uniform and L1 norms. With respect to the classical approach we obtain the convergence for a wider class of Jacobi weights. Even if we only consider the Jacobi case,…
