The control of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell system (PEM FC) for domestic heat and power supply requires extensive control measures to handle the complicated process. Highly dynamic and non linear behavior, increase drastically the difficulties to find the optimal design and control strategies. The objective is to design, implement and commission a controller for the entire fuel cell system. The fuel cell process and the control system are engineered simultaneously; therefore there is no access to the process hardware during the control system development. Therefore the method of choice was a model based design approach, following the rapid control prototyping (RCP) methodology. The fuel cell system is simulated using a fuel cell library which allowed thermodynamic calculations. In the course of the development the process model is continuously adapted to the real system. The controller application is designed and developed in parallel and thereby tested and verified against the process model. Furthermore, after the commissioning of the real system, the process model can be also better identified and parameterized utilizing measurement data to perform optimization procedures. The process model and the controller application are implemented in Simulink using Mathworks` Real Time Workshop (RTW) and the xPC development suite for MiL (model-in-theloop) and HiL (hardware-in-the-loop) testing. It is possible to completely develop, verify and validate the controller application without depending on the real fuel cell system, which is not available for testing during the development process. The fuel cell system can be immediately taken into operation after connecting the controller to the process.

The full exploitation of multi-hop multi-path connectivity opportunities offered by heterogeneous wireless interfaces could enable innovative Always Best Served (ABS) deployment scenarios where mobile clients dynamically self-organize to offer/exploit Internet connectivity at best. Only novel middleware solutions based on heterogeneous context information can seamlessly enable this scenario: middleware solutions should i) provide a translucent access to low-level components, to achieve both fully aware and simplified pre-configured interactions, ii) permit to fully exploit communication interface capabilities, i.e., not only getting but also providing connectivity in a peer-to-peer fashion, thus relieving final users and application developers from the burden of directly managing wireless interface heterogeneity, and iii) consider user mobility as crucial context information evaluating at provision time the suitability of available Internet points of access differently when the mobile client is still or in motion. The novelty of this research work resides in three primary points. First of all, it proposes a novel model and taxonomy providing a common vocabulary to easily describe and position solutions in the area of context-aware autonomic management of preferred network opportunities. Secondly, it presents PoSIM, a context-aware middleware for the synergic exploitation and control of heterogeneous positioning systems that facilitates the development and portability of location-based services. PoSIM is translucent, i.e., it can provide application developers with differentiated visibility of data characteristics and control possibilities of available positioning solutions, thus dynamically adapting to application-specific deployment requirements and enabling cross-layer management decisions. Finally, it provides the MMHC solution for the self-organization of multi-hop multi-path heterogeneous connectivity. MMHC considers a limited set of practical indicators on node mobility and wireless network characteristics for a coarsegrained estimation of expected reliability/quality of multi-hop paths available at runtime. In particular, MMHC manages the durability/throughput-aware formation and selection of different multi-hop paths simultaneously. Furthermore, MMHC provides a novel solution based on adaptive buffers, proactively managed based on handover prediction, to support continuous services, especially by pre-fetching multimedia contents to avoid streaming interruptions.

Complice l'entrata a far parte dell'Unione Europea e del risultante recepimento delle sue normative e sopratutto dei suoi principi, nel nostro Paese si sta verificando un sostanziale incremento delle realtà territoriali attivate sul fronte della raccolta differenziata. L'intercettazione delle frazioni compostabili (umido e scarti verdi) sta assumendo un ruolo di sempre maggior rilevanza quantitativa nella raccolta differenziata. Infatti dal 1997 al 2007 si è passati da circa 604.000 ton di frazioni raccolte a 2.368.000 ton. Questo sistema di recupero degli scarti organici è attualmente il più diffuso nel nostro Paese. Esso presenta indubbi problemi tecnico-gestionali, sopratutto riconducibili alle emissioni odorigene che raramente risultano però nocive o addirittura tossiche per la salute dell'ambiente e delle persone. Nonostante questo dato gli impianti di compostaggio incontrano spesso una diffusa e forte avversione da quella parte di popolazione interessata ad accogliere l'impianto sul proprio territorio rispetto anche ad impianti di indubbia maggior pericolosità. Per via di questo generale atteggiamento in Italia risulta pertanto esistere una normativa particolarmente stringente sulle garanzie ambientali necessarie per la realizzazione di impianti di compostaggio confrontata con quella europea. Questa normativa però lascia inalterata la difficoltà nella diffusione di un'impiantistica adeguata a rispondere alle necessità della raccolta differenziata. Questo problema risulta ancor più rilevante come nel caso dell'impianto oggetto di studio situato in ambiente altamente urbanizzato. In questi territori ad alta densità abitativa spesso si assiste alla degenerazione del sistema dove protratte conflittualità con la popolazione interessata ostacolano l'esercizio o portano alla temporanea cessazione delle attività degli impianti esistenti. Ulteriore problema risulta essere il fatto che anche in impianti nuovi criteri corretti di progettazione e costruzione risultano essere alle volte non sufficienti per evitare le precedenti problematiche, diventa quindi oltremodo difficoltoso ottenere gli stessi risultati intervenendo su impianti già esistenti con misure di riqualificazione adeguate e compatibili con la sostenibilità economica dell'impianto. Per tanto questa tesi si propone di individuare le problematiche esistenti e proporre soluzioni efficaci al rilevante problema delle emissioni odorigene che sembra caratterizzare questo impianto, tramite uno studio dello stato di fatto e l'analisi delle criticità riscontrate, concentrandosi in modo particolare sul biofiltro e sulla biofiltrazione, che sembra essere il problema principale che influenza la qualità delle emissioni. Il caso oggetto di questa tesi riguarda un impianto avviato nel 2004 che, dopo un lungo periodo di esercizio caratterizzato da problematiche ambientali mai pienamente risolte, è stato sottoposto dalla seconda metà del 2008 ad una semplice e sistematica revisione delle procedure gestionali e mirati interventi tecnici ed impiantistici nell'ambito di un percorso di risanamento e riqualificazione. 5

The current studies assessed the role of trait anger and anger expression styles on risk decision-making in adulthood, adolescence and childhood. In the first experiment 158 adults completed the STAXI-2 and an inventory consisting of a battery of hypothetical everyday decision-making scenarios. Participants were also asked to evaluate the perception of risk for each chosen option and some contextual characteristics, that are familiarity and salience for each scenario. The study provides evidence for a relationship between individual differences in the tendency to feel and express anger and risky decisions and for mediation effects of familiarity and salience appraisals. Moreover, results indicated that trait anger was predictive of risk perception and they provide evidence for a positive relationship between risk decision-making and risk perception. In the second study, we examined the relationship between specific components of anger (i.e., cognitive, affective and behavioural) and risk decision-making in adolescents. 101 subjects completed specific tasks, measuring risk decision-making, assessed using hypothetical choice scenarios, and anger, evaluated through the STAXI-CA and the MSAI-R. Results showed that adolescents higher on hostility, anger experience and destructive expression, make more risky decisions in everyday life situations. Moreover, regression analyses indicated that destructive expression of anger and hostility were predictive of adolescents’ risky decisions. In the third experiment, 104 children completed three tasks: the STAXI-CA, the MSAI-R and a task measuring risk decision-making in everyday situations. Subjects were also asked to evaluate the degree of danger, benefit, fun and fear perceived for each risky choice. Analyses indicated that: (a) risk decision-making was predicted by both trait anger and outward expression of anger; (b) destructive expression o anger was predictive of children’s risky decisions; (c) appraisal of danger fully mediated the relation between trait anger and risk; (d) perceptions of benefit, scare and fun partially mediated the relationship between trait anger and risk; and (e) appraisal of danger partially mediated the relationship between outward expression of anger and risk decision-making. The results provide evidence for a relationship between dispositional anger and risk decision-making during childhood, suggesting a possible explanation of the mechanisms below. In particular, risk decision-making can be viewed as the output of cognitive and emotive processes, linked to dispositional anger that leads children to be amused, optimistic and fearless in potentially risky situations. These findings substantiate the importance of incorporating cognitive and emotive factors in theories that seek to explain the relationship between personality traits and risk decision making across a broad range of age.
