description: Internet resources form the basic fabric of the digital society. They provide the fundamental platform for digital services and assets, e.g., for critical infrastructures, financial services, government. Whoever controls that fabric effectively controls the digital society. In this work we demonstrate that the current practices of Internet resources management, of IP addresses, domains, certificates and virtual platforms are insecure. Over long periods of time adversaries can maintain control over Internet resources which they do not own and perform stealthy manipulations, leading to devastating attacks. We show that network adversaries can take over and manipulate at least 68% of the assigned IPv4 address space as well as 31% of the top Alexa domains. We demonstrate such attacks by hijacking the accounts associated with the digital resources. For hijacking the accounts we launch off-path DNS cache poisoning attacks, to redirect the password recovery link to the adversarial hosts. We then demonstrate that the adversaries can manipulate the resources associated with these accounts. We find all the tested providers vulnerable to our attacks. We recommend mitigations for blocking the attacks that we present in this work. Nevertheless, the countermeasures cannot solve the fundamental problem - the management of the Internet resources should be revised to ensure that applying transactions cannot be done so easily and stealthily as is currently possible.

subject: Landscape architecture

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: Prof Sue Anne Ware (RMIT) and Prof Gini Lee (University of Melbourne) commissioned 17 essays by local and international writers, academics and curators and designers for Making Sense of Landscape, an illustrated book that celebrates the work of the award-winning landscape architecture firm Taylor Cullity Lethlean (TCL). Prof Ware wrote 3 sole-authored essays in the collection (on Victoria Square, National Arboretum and Australian Garden) and 5 editorial statements (co-authored with Gini Lee). RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: In 2013, TCL won the World Architecture Festival landscape of the year for Australia Garden, Cranboure (stage 2). Ware's engagement with TCL's work includes 'Site thinking', an essay that situates Australia Garden into its historical context, a 'time of awakening' for landscape architecture in Australia and a time of intense political debates on Australian history and national identity. Likewise, Ware's essay on Tarntanyangga/Victoria Square - the first place in Australia to fly the national Aboriginal flag (1971) - also examines the politcs of place-making. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: 'Making sense of landscape', the edited monograph in which Sue Ann Ware's essays and editorials appear, has received wide peer review locally and internationally. It has been reviewed in The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald (Megan Backhouse, 'Zen and Now' 19 April 2014); The Australian (Stephen Brook, 12 April 2014) and Open Journal (12 May 2014). It featured on the highly regarded 'The Architects' show on Melbourne community radio station 3RRR (1 April 2014) and on 'The Plan' Radio Adelaide, Uni of Adelaide (19 Mar 2014). It has also been reviewed in by Edward Valauskas, curator rare books, Lenhardt Library, Chicago Botanic Garden (Chicago Botanic Garden, vol.16, no. 2, 2014) who described the book 'as a delightful collection of thought-provoking essays and delicious images', a 'homage to the values and creativity of Taylor Cullity Lethlean'.

description: A long-term video, such as a movie or TV show, is composed of various scenes, each of which represents a series of shots sharing the same semantic story. Spotting the correct scene boundary from the long-term video is a challenging task, since a model must understand the storyline of the video to figure out where a scene starts and ends. To this end, we propose an effective Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) framework to learn better shot representations from unlabeled long-term videos. More specifically, we present an SSL scheme to achieve scene consistency, while exploring considerable data augmentation and shuffling methods to boost the model generalizability. Instead of explicitly learning the scene boundary features as in the previous methods, we introduce a vanilla temporal model with less inductive bias to verify the quality of the shot features. Our method achieves the state-of-the-art performance on the task of Video Scene Segmentation. Additionally, we suggest a more fair and reasonable benchmark to evaluate the performance of Video Scene Segmentation methods. The code is made available.

description: Self-similar approximation theory allows for defining effective sums of asymptotic series. The method of self-similar factor approximants is applied for calculating the critical temperature and critical exponents of the $O(N)$-symmetric $φ^4$ field theory in three dimensions by summing asymptotic $\varepsilon$ expansions. This method is shown to be essentially simpler than other summation techniques involving complicated numerical calculations, while enjoying comparable accuracy.

description: Self-adaptive systems (SAS) can reconfigure at run time in response to changing situations to express acceptable behaviors in the face of uncertainty. With respect to game design, such situations may include user input, emergent behaviors, performance concerns, and combinations thereof. Typically an SAS is modeled as a feedback loop that functions within an existing system, with operations including monitoring, analyzing, planning, and executing (i.e., MAPE-K) to enable online reconfiguration. This paper presents a conceptual approach for extending software engineering artifacts to be self-adaptive within the context of game design. We have modified a game developed for creative coding education to include a MAPE-K self-adaptive feedback loop, comprising run-time adaptation capabilities and the software artifacts required to support adaptation.

description: Multi-agent systems (MAS) may encounter uncertainties in the form of unexpected environmental conditions, sub-optimal system configurations, and unplanned interactions between autonomous agents. The number of combinations of such uncertainties may be innumerable, however run-time testing may reduce the issues impacting such a system. We posit that search heuristics can augment a run-time testing process, in-situ, for a MAS. To support our position we discuss our in-progress experimental testbed to realize this goal and highlight challenges we anticipate for this domain.

description: The question how the outer solar atmosphere is heated from solar photospheric temperatures of about 5800K up to solar chromospheric and coronal temperatures of about 20.000K and millions of degrees respectively, remained without any satisfying answer for centuries. On 4 May 2005, I recorded several time series of Hα line scans with the GREGOR Fabry-Pérot Interferometer, still deployed at the German Vacuum Tower Telescope (VTT), for different solar limb and on-disk positions as well as for quiet sun at solar disk center. The spatially and temporally highly resolved time series of Hα line parameters reveal the entire and detailed complexity as well as the overwhelming dynamics of spicules covering the entire solar disk, thus apparently confirming spicules as the potential driver of chromospheric heating for both the Sun and sun-like stars, with an expected mass flux larger than 100 times that of the solar wind. Spicules seem to be the result of the interaction of the highly dynamic photospheric quiet-sun or active-region small-scale magnetic field, which is dominated by convective processes and is predominantly located in intergranular lanes and at meso- or supergranular scales.
Could a Computer Learn to Be an Appeals Court Judge? : The Place of the Unspeakable and Unwriteable in All-Purpose Intelligent Systems
Creators: name: Woods, John (John Hayden)
Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute

description: I will take it that general intelligence is intelligence of the kind that a typical human being—Fred, say—manifests in his role as a cognitive agent, that is, as an acquirer, receiver and circulator of knowledge in his cognitive economy. Framed in these terms, the word “general” underserves our ends. Hereafter our questions will bear upon the all-purpose intelligence of beings like Fred. Frederika appears as Fred’s AI-counterpart, not as a fully programmed and engineered being, but as a presently unrealized theoretical construct. Our basic question is whether it is in principle possible to equip Frederika to do what Fred does as an all-purpose participant in his own cognitive economy. Can she achieve a sufficiency of relevant similarity to him to allow us to say that she herself can do what Fred can do, perhaps even better? One of the things that Fred can do—or at least could learn from experience to do—is discharge the duties of an Appeals Court judge. As set down in the ancient doctrine of lex non scripta, Fred must be able to detect, understand and correctly apply certain tacit and implicit rules of law which defy express propositional formulation and linguistic articulation. Fred has an even more widespread capacity for the epistemically tacit and implicit, clearly one of his most cost-saving kinds of intelligence. Indeed, most by far of what Fred will ever know he will know tacitly and implicitly. So we must ask: how tightly bound to the peculiarities of Fred’s cognitive enablement conditions is the character of the intelligence that he manifests? And how far down Fred’s causal make-up does intelligence actually go?

description: Nanocarbons are an important class of energy materials and one relevant application is for the nitrogen reduction reaction, i.e., the direct synthesis of NH3 from N2 and H2O via photo- and electrocatalytic approaches. Ammonia is also a valuable energy or hydrogen vector. This perspective paper analyses developments in the field, limiting discussion to nanocarbon-based electrodes. These aspects are discussed: i) active sites related to charge density differences on C atoms associated to defects/strains, ii) doping with heteroatoms, iii) introduction of isolated metal ions, iv) creation and in situ dynamics of metal oxide(hydroxide)/nanocarbon boundaries, and v) nanocarbon characteristics to control the interface. Discussion is focused on the performances and mechanistic aspects. Aim is not a systematic state-of-the-art report but to highlight the need to use a different perspective in studying this challenging reaction by using selected papers. Notwithstanding the large differences in the proposed nature of the active sites, fall all within a restricted range of performances, far from the targets. A holistic approach is emphasized to make a breakthrough advance.

description: Some aspects of the nonbirefringent CPT-even gauge sector of the Standard Model Extension (SME), in the vicinity of a semi-transparent mirror, are investigated in this paper. We first consider a model where the Lorentz symmetry breaking is caused by a single background vector $v^μ$, and we obtain perturbative results up to second order in $v^μ$. Specifically, we compute the modified propagator for the gauge field due to the presence of the mirror and we analyze the corresponding interaction between the mirror and a stationary point-like charge. We show that when the charge is placed in the vicinity of the mirror, a spontaneous torque emerges, which is a new effect with no counterpart in Maxwell electrodynamics. We also compare these results with the corresponding ones obtained for the Lorentz violating scalar field theory. As expected, in the limiting case of perfect mirrors, we recover the interaction found via the image method. Finally, we discuss how we can extend these results for a more general Lorentz violating background.

description: In theoretical ecology, models describing the spatial dispersal and the temporal evolution of species having non-overlapping generations are often based on integrodifference equations. For various such applications the environment has an aperiodic influence on the models leading to nonautonomous integrodifference equations. In order to capture their long-term behaviour comprehensively, both pullback and forward attractors, as well as forward limit sets are constructed for general infinite-dimensional nonautonomous dynamical systems in discrete time. While the theory of pullback attractors, but not their application to integrodifference equations, is meanwhile well-established, the present novel approach is needed in order to understand their future behaviour.

description: Scientific collaborations are increasingly relying on large volumes of data for their work and many of them employ tiered systems to replicate the data to their worldwide user communities. Each user in the community often selects a different subset of data for their analysis tasks; however, members of a research group often are working on related research topics that require similar data objects. Thus, there is a significant amount of data sharing possible. In this work, we study the access traces of a federated storage cache known as the Southern California Petabyte Scale Cache. By studying the access patterns and potential for network traffic reduction by this caching system, we aim to explore the predictability of the cache uses and the potential for a more general in-network data caching. Our study shows that this distributed storage cache is able to reduce the network traffic volume by a factor of 2.35 during a part of the study period. We further show that machine learning models could predict cache utilization with an accuracy of 0.88. This demonstrates that such cache usage is predictable, which could be useful for managing complex networking resources such as in-network caching.
Semi-quantum dialogue based on single photons

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we propose two semi-quantum dialogue (SQD) protocols by using single photons as the quantum carriers, where one requires the classical party to possess the measurement capability and the other does not have this requirement. The security towards active attacks from an outside Eve in the first SQD protocol is guaranteed by the complete robustness of present semi-quantum key distribution (SQKD) protocols, the classical one-time pad encryption, the classical party's randomization operation and the decoy photon technology. The information leakage problem of the first SQD protocol is overcome by the classical party' classical basis measurements on the single photons carrying messages which makes him share their initial states with the quantum party. The security towards active attacks from Eve in the second SQD protocol is guaranteed by the classical party's randomization operation, the complete robustness of present SQKD protocol and the classical one-time pad encryption. The information leakage problem of the second SQD protocol is overcome by the quantum party' classical basis measurements on each two adjacent single photons carrying messages which makes her share their initial states with the classical party. Compared with the traditional information leakage resistant QD protocols, the advantage of the proposed SQD protocols lies in that they only require one party to have quantum capabilities. Compared with the existing SQD protocol, the advantage of the proposed SQD protocols lies in that they only employ single photons rather than two-photon entangled states as the quantum carriers. The proposed SQD protocols can be implemented with present quantum technologies.

subject: Textile and fashion design

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND This project brought together a group of practice-led researchers working across disciplines to consider the theme of Flight within the context of the gallery. Bugg's work investigates the complexity of communication between designer, wearer and viewer of conceptual fashion in specific contexts. This work is a live costume dance performance and film screening. This experimental work extends design methods for contemporary dance through theoretical and empirical research and investigates garments and choreography as simultaneous practice. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION Bugg approached the body as a physical drawing and design tool and the process involved the researcher and dancer in continuous verbal and experiential dialogue to create performative clothing design and communication. Practitioners who take an interdisciplinary approach to extend methods in design and dance such as Maria Blaisse, Rei Kawakubo and choreographers Wayne McGregor and Merce Cunningham informed the process. The garment and the choreography were developed simultaneously through improvisational sessions between the designer and dancer and analysis of video footage and recorded testimony of the process. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE The project outcomes were displayed online alongside a Friday Late showing of performances and temporary installations at the National Gallery, London in 2013, and was preceded by a special showcase at the London College of Fashion. The research was disseminated through a peer reviewed paper 'Embodied Design and Communication: Drawing with the Body and Cloth' (interdisciplinary.net 3rd Global conference) and a book chapter is included in Studio International 2014 edited by Professor Steven Farthing. This film was also screened at Berlin Fashion Film Festival 2013.

description: Background: Prognostic risk factors for completely resected stage IA non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) have advanced minimally over recent decades. Although several biomarkers have been found to be associated with cancer recurrence, their added value to TNM staging and tumor grade are unclear. Methods: Features of preoperative low-dose CT image and histologic findings of hematoxylin- and eosin-stained tissue sections of resected lung tumor specimens were extracted from 182 stage IA NSCLC patients in the National Lung Screening Trial. These features were combined to predict the risk of tumor recurrence or progression through integrated deep learning evaluation (IDLE). Added values of IDLE to TNM staging and tumor grade in progression risk prediction and risk stratification were evaluated. Results: The 5-year AUC of IDLE was 0.817 ± 0.037 as compared to the AUC = 0.561 ± 0.042 and 0.573 ± 0.044 from the TNM stage and tumor grade, respectively. The IDLE score was significantly associated with cancer recurrence (p < 0.0001) even after adjusting for TNM staging and tumor grade. Synergy between chest CT image markers and histological markers was the driving force of the deep learning algorithm to produce a stronger prognostic predictor. Conclusions: Integrating markers from preoperative CT images and pathologist’s readings of resected lung specimens through deep learning can improve risk stratification of stage 1A NSCLC patients over TNM staging and tumor grade alone. Our study suggests that combining markers from nonoverlapping platforms can increase the cancer risk prediction accuracy.

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: Peter Corrigan: Cities of Hope traced the creative focus of this remarkable Australian architect, bringing to life many of his designs over four decades including architectural models and drawings by Edmond and Corrigan, set and costume designs for theatre, artworks, records and notations from his personal collection and key works selected from public collections which have enriched his practice. The exhibition examined his significant field of influence through the display of 22 selected works by notable practitioners who have been exposed to or educated by Corrigan. As well as curating the show, Gerrans was the managing editor of a 76pp full colour catalogue that featured scholarly essays by Professor Leon van Schaik, Associate Professor Felicity Scott, Associate Professor Conrad Hamann and Michael Kantor. Gerrans wrote the introduction. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: Cities of Hope contributes to developing modes of curating architectural exhibitions by focusing on the personally idiosyncratic dimensions and contexts of creative practice. The catalogue critically engages with Corrigan's complex imaginative practices through images of architecture, theatre and art that inspires him, alongside essays investigating his association with Religion, Expressionism, Modernism, Venturi, Kahn, Scharoun, Yale, theatre, and RMIT Building 8. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: Designed by Sean Hogan, the catalogue is a comprehensive record of the exhibition. The value of this exhibiton is evidenced by the 10,105 people who attended, the review in 'The Age' (Ray Edgar, Dreaming up a city of hope', April 2013) and the review in the leading Australian professional journal 'Architecture Australia' (Ricky Ricardo, Peter Corrigan: cities of hope', a review, May 2013). In 2014, Nervenga Reed Architecture won the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) Bates Smart Award for Architectural Media - State for 'Dr Caligari moves to the Suburbs - The Architecture of Edmond + Corrigan'.

description: Urine is considered an ideal source of biomarkers, however in veterinary medicine a complete study on the urine proteome is still lacking. The present work aimed to apply proteomic techniques to the separation of the urine proteome in dogs, cats, horses, cows and some non-conventional species. High resolution electrophoresis (HRE) was also validated for the quantification of albuminuria in dogs and cats. 
In healthy cats, applying SDS-PAGE and 2DE coupled to mass spectrometry (MS), was produced a reference map of the urine proteome. Moreover, 13 differentially represented urine proteins were linked with CKD, suggesting uromodulin, cauxin, CFAD, Apo-H, RBP and CYSM as candidate biomarkers to be investigated further. 
In dogs, applying SDS-PAGE coupled to MS, was highlighted a specific pattern in healthy animals showing important differences in patients affected by leishmaniasis. In particular, uromodulin could be a putative biomarker of tubular damage while arginine esterase and low MW proteins needs to be investigated further.
In cows, applying SDS-PAGE, were highlighted different patterns between heifers and cows showing some interesting changes during pregnancy. In particular, putative alpha-fetoprotein and b-PAP needs to be further investigated.
In horses, applying SDS-PAGE, was produced a reference profile characterized by 13±4 protein bands and the most represented one was the putative uromodulin. Proteinuric horses showed the decrease of the putative uromodulin band and the appearance of 2 to 4 protein bands at higher MW and a greater variability in the range of MW between 49 and 17 kDa. 
In felids and giraffes was quantified proteinuria reporting the first data for UTP and UPC. Moreover, by means of SDS-PAGE, were highlighted species-specific electrophoretic patterns in big felids and giraffes.

description: We will construct a loop space formalism for general relativity, and construct the Polyakov variables as connections for such a loop space. We will use these Polyakov variables to construct a dual theory of gravity beyond linear approximation. It will be demonstrated that this loop space duality reduces to the Hodge duality for linearized gravity. Furthermore, a loop space curvature will be constructed from this Polyakov variable. It will be shown that this loop space curvature vanishes in the absence of topological defects, and so it can be used to investigate gravitational monopoles. We will also construct the suitable monopole charge for such gravitational monopoles.

description: Si compie un'indagine al fine di determinare se all'interno dell'epigrafia romana fossero presenti precise specificità locali e quale livello di consapevolezza ne avessero i fruitori del mezzo epigrafico. Campione di indagine è l'orizzonte epigrafico di Mediolanum, di cui si definiscono le specificità - monumentali, impaginative, sintattiche, ma anche relative a maestranze e committenza - per confronto con le produzioni epigrafiche circostanti. Il quadro finale è quello di una produzione ben inserita negli orizzonti cisalpino e transpadano, ma che allo stesso tempo se ne differenzia per una serie di peculiarità, che in taluni casi sembrerebbero volutamente ricercate dai committenti.
description: The aim of this thesis is to point out the existence of local specificities in the Roman epigraphic production, and to determine whether the users of the epigraphic medium were aware of them or not. At this purpose the epigraphic production of Mediolanum has been taken into account; the Milanese inscriptions have been catalogued, analyzed from both a monumental and textual point of view, and compared to those of other Cisalpine cities. In this way it has been possible to find out several peculiarities that distinguished the epigraphic habit of Mediolanum from both the Cisalpine and Transpadane one; besides, in some cases, the purchasers of the inscriptions seem to have been  well aware of these peculiarities.

description: Epigenetic variability is a new mechanism for the study of human microevolution, because it creates both phenotypic diversity within an individual and within population. This mechanism constitutes an important reservoir for adaptation in response to new stimuli and recent studies have demonstrated that selective pressures shape not only  the genetic code but also DNA methylation profiles. 
The aim of this thesis is the study of the role of DNA methylation changes in human adaptive processes, considering the Italian peninsula and macro-geographical areas. A whole-genome analysis of DNA methylation profile across the Italian penisula identified some genes whose methylation levels differ between individuals of different Italian districts (South, Centre and North of Italy). These genes are involved in nitrogen compound metabolism and genes involved in pathogens response. Considering individuals with different macro-geographical origins (individuals of Asians, European and African ancestry) more significant DMRs (differentially methylated regions) were identified and are located in genes involved in glucoronidation, in immune response as well as in cell comunication processes. A "profile" of each ancestry (African, Asian and European) was described. Moreover a deepen analysis of three candidate genes (KRTCAP3, MAD1L and BRSK2) in a cohort of individuals of different countries (Morocco, Nigeria, China and Philippines) living in Bologna, was performed in order to explore genetic and epigenetic diversity. 
Moreover this thesis have paved the way for the application of DNA methylation for the study of hystorical remains and in particular for the age-estimation of individuals starting from biological samples (such as teeth or blood). Noteworthy, a mathematical model that considered methylation values of DNA extracted from cementum and pulp of living individuals can estimate chronological age with high accuracy (median absolute difference between age estimated from DNA methylation and chronological age was 1.2 years).

Executive summary

Despite their small size, aerosols strongly influence Earth’s climate. They scatter and absorb radiation but also modify the properties of clouds as cloud droplets form on aerosol particles. New climate simulations at the kilometer-scale allow us to examine long-standing questions related to these interactions such as the potential invigoration of convective clouds or the enhancement of cloud amount. To perform kilometer-scale simulations with interactive aerosols, we developed the simple aerosol module HAM-lite and linked it to the climate model ICON-Sapphire. HAM-lite is based on and fully traceable to the complex aerosol module HAM. Like in HAM, aerosols are represented as an ensemble of log-normal modes. Unlike in HAM, aerosol microphysics is discarded and aerosol sizes and compositions are prescribed. With that, we only need prognostic tracers for aerosol concentrations and in turn reduce the computational burden significantly.

Conclusion & Results

To evaluate the aerosol module, we performed a global simulation with ICON-Sapphire coupled to HAM-lite at a resolution of five kilometers and over a period of 40 days. Apart from prescribing the sea surface temperature and sea ice instead of simulating an interactive ocean, the simulation was set up as described in the publication of Hohenegger et al. Aerosols were represented by four modes composed of dust, sea salt, organic carbon, black carbon, and sulfate. We performed the simulation on the Levante cluster of the German Climate Computing Center. The computational throughput was 40 simulated days per day on 400 nodes.

The simulation captures key elements of the global aerosol cycle, which are only partially representedin coarse-scale simulations. The figures in section 4.2.2 show the transport of dust aerosols across the Atlantic and the interplay of sea salt aerosols with a cyclone in the Pacific. Over the Sahara, we observe a dust storm driven by a cold pool front. Across the Atlantic, we observe the doldrums, a large-scale band of low surface winds resulting in low levels of sea salt aerosols. Further simulations over longer periods of up to a year are currently being performed to refine the aerosol module and to extend the statistical analysis.

description: The European Committee for Standardization is working on a standard for the application of IPM (Integrated Pest Management) in museums and cultural heritage facilities.
Since one of the aims of this research was to verify the approach against pests adopted in Italian conservation facilities, a survey was conducted.
The results show that for the Italian museums, archives, libraries and historical houses pests are a problem, but IPM is unknown and prevention programmes to avoid damages caused by them, are not applied. In the most of cases pests problems are solved only when the risk is high and damages are visible. 
Also entomological monitoring, which represents a crucial part of IPM and could be very useful, is not included among the ordinary prevention activities.
In addition, at present, the scientific researches on entomological traps, whether light or pheromones, for “cultural heritage pests” is extremely poor and only recently the behaviour and/or the physiology of the insects “of museums” have been investigated.
For these reasons, tests to increase the traps using are performed. In particular, S. paniceum behaviour towards different attraction systems was investigated and the results indicate that the light traps efficiency could be improved using specific wavelengths and light sources.

description: Beside the traditional paradigm of "centralized" power generation, a new concept of "distributed" generation is emerging, in which the same user becomes pro-sumer. During this transition, the Energy Storage Systems (ESS) can provide multiple services and features, which are necessary for a higher quality of the electrical system and for the optimization of non-programmable Renewable Energy Source (RES) power plants.
A ESS prototype was designed, developed and integrated into a renewable energy production system in order to create a smart microgrid and consequently manage in an efficient and intelligent way the energy flow as a function of the power demand. The produced energy can be introduced into the grid, supplied to the load directly or stored in batteries.
The microgrid is composed by a 7 kW wind turbine (WT) and a 17 kW photovoltaic (PV) plant are part of. The load is given by electrical utilities of a cheese factory.
The ESS is composed by the following two subsystems, a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and a Power Control System (PCS). With the aim of sizing the ESS, a Remote Grid Analyzer (RGA) was designed, realized and connected to the wind turbine, photovoltaic plant and the switchboard.
Afterwards, different electrochemical storage technologies were studied, and taking into account the load requirements present in the cheese factory, the most suitable solution was identified in the high temperatures salt Na-NiCl2 battery technology. The data acquisition  from all electrical utilities provided a detailed load analysis, indicating the optimal storage size equal to a 30 kW battery system. Moreover a container was designed and realized to locate the BESS and PCS, meeting all the requirements and safety conditions.
Furthermore, a smart control system was implemented in order to handle the different applications of the ESS, such as peak shaving or load levelling.

description: This work deals with the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) using metal supported catalysts. Catalysts were prepared from the immobilisation of preformed monometallic (Au, Pd) and bimetallic (AuCu, AuPd) nanoparticles on commercial oxides (TiO2, CeO2). Au-TiO2 catalyst was found to be very active for HMF oxidation; however, this system deactivated very fast. For this reason, we prepared bimetallic gold-copper nanoparticles and an increase in the catalytic activity was observed together with an increase in catalyst stability. In order to optimise the interaction of the metal active phase with the support, Au and AuCu nanoparticles were supported onto CeO2. Au-CeO2 catalyst was found to be more active than the bimetallic one, leading to the conclusion that in this case the most important feature is the interaction between gold and the support. Catalyst pre-treatments (calcination and washing) were carried out to maximise the contact between the metal and the oxide and an increase in the FDCA production could be observed. The presence of ceria defective sites was crucial for FDCA formation. Mesoporous cerium oxide was synthesised with the hard template method and was used as support for Au nanoparticles to promote the catalytic activity. In order to study the  role of active phase in HMF oxidation, PdAu nanoparticles were supported onto TiO2. Au and Pd monometallic catalysts were very active in the formation of HMFCA (5-hydroxymethyl-2-furan carboxylic acid), but Pd was not able to convert it, leading to a low FDCA yield. The calcination of PdAu catalysts led to Pd segregation on the particles surface, which changed the reaction pathway and included an important contribution of the Cannizzaro reaction. PVP protected PdAu nanoparticles, synthesised with different morphologies (core-shell and alloyed structure), confirmed the presence of a different reaction mechanism when the metal surface composition changes.
