Abstract The thermal performance of latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems considerably depends on thermal conductivity of adopted phase change materials (PCMs). To increase the low thermal conductivity of these materials, pure PCMs can be loaded with metal ...

Abstract The seasonal energy performance of a cooling system based on an innovative variable-geometry ejector (VGE) is numerically investigated by using TRNSYS. The VGE-based system is mainly driven by solar energy, collected through solar thermal collectors, and is cou...

We present the results and the main findings of SemEval-2020 Task 11 on Detection of Propaganda Techniques in News Articles. The task featured two subtasks. Subtask SI is about Span Identification: given a plain-text document, spot the specific text fragments containing...

We present SubjectivITA: the first Italian corpus for subjectivity detection on news articles, with annotations at sentence and document level. Our corpus consists of 103 articles extracted from online newspapers, amounting to 1,841 sentences. We also define baselines f...

The open-air theatre of Benevento is one of the few theatres built during the Imperial Age of the Roman Empire. Different acoustic studies have been undertaken on this cultural heritage throughout the centuries, but this paper deals with an alternative way of data repre...

The Roman theatre of Verona became a place of live shows during the 1$^{st}$ century BC. After a florid period of its activity, the theatre has been decommissioned by the barbaric invasions other than by earthquakes and fire that occurred during the Middle Age. Many pai...

The acoustic studies of the Italian Opera theatres have been improved their accuracy by the development of a new generation technology. An acoustic survey has been undertaken inside the Galli theatre of Rimini in order to show the acoustic parameters as required by the ...

The use of contextualised word embeddings allowed for a relevant performance increase for almost all Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. Recently some new models especially developed for Italian became available to scholars. This work aims at evaluating the ...

This research focuses on the combined use of digital survey tools and parametric 3D modelling procedures for supporting the vulnerability analysis of masonry heritage. The behaviour of masonry structures is strongly related to the geometrical properties of macro-element...

In winter 2020, the Covid-19 emergency explodes. From the earliest days, the Italian online magazine MaddMaths!, devoted to teaching and popularizing mathematics, decides to focus its attention on the mathematical aspects of the Sars-CoV-2 epidemic. The editorial choice...
