Abstract. The joint use of hourly resolution sampling and analyses with accelerated ion beams such as the particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) technique has allowed measurement temporal patterns particulate matter (PM) composition at many sites in different parts world. demand within scientific community for this type analysis been continuously increasing recent years, but samplers suitable PIXE have discontinued and/or suffer from some technical limitations. In framework, a new sampler,...
Kinetic energy loss during the impact between two vehicles is an essential parameter to assess severity and for road accident reconstruction, since knowledge of this value allows us estimate collision closing speed. In paper, activity evaluation kinetic in collisions two-wheeler cars by means semi-empirical methods presented. Often field, as remarked literature, main difficulty lies car, on which usually localised deformations are produced, involving zones, near wheels, instance, having...
Abstract The BLEMAB European project (BLast furnace stack density Estimation through online Muon ABsorption measurements), the evolution of previous Mu-Blast project, is designed to investigate in detail capability muon radiography techniques applied imaging inner zone a blast furnace. In particular, goal this collaboration characterize internal region (so-called cohesive zone) where slowly downward-moving material begins soften and melt, which plays an important role performance itself....
Abstract In this paper, we have studied an additively manufactured metallic component, intended for ultra-high vacuum application, the exit-snout of MACHINA transportable proton accelerator beam-line. Metal additive manufacturing components can exhibit heterogeneous and anisotropic microstructures. Two non-destructive imaging techniques, X-ray computed tomography Neutron Tomography, were employed to examine its microstructure. They unveiled presence porosity channels, size composition grains...
Abstract The BLEMAB European project (BLast furnace stack density Estimation through on-line Muon ABsorption measurements), evolution of the previous Mu-Blast project, is designed to investigate in detail capability muon radiography techniques applied imaging a blast furnace’s inner zone. In particular, geometry and size so called “cohesive zone”, i.e. spatial zone where slowly downward moving material begins soften melt, that plays an important role performance itself. Thanks high...
(1) Background: Data collection procedures allow to obtain harmonization of in-depth road accident databases. Plausibility calculable accident-related kinematic parameters depends on the constraints imposed calculation, making their uncertainty degree higher than one for measurable (i.e., traces, airbag activation, etc.). Uncertainty translates in information loss, statistics based databases analysis less consistent. Since describe global dynamics, correctness assessment has a fundamental...
In this paper an analysis method for a collision between motorcycle and car is presented, with the limitation that frontal part of involved, wheelbase shortening. The velocities vehicles before are usually most important information accident its causes, therefore methods to succeed in estimating these great importance. work focuses on finding empirical formulation relative velocity other vehicle, starting from kinetic energy loss due allowing mass motorcycle’s rider at moment collision....

Constraining the nuclear equation of state (EoS) parameters makes it possible to better understand properties matter that constitutes our Universe. Many probes can be used test EoS, from observation neutron star mergers heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies. The fragments and particles emitted in need identified with isotopic discrimination order give valuable information. In this regard, a specifically designed apparatus, such as FAZIA, may study state. This review summarizes...
This paper presents an analysis of the situation in which a two-wheeler (i.e. motorcycle, where term motorcycles includes scooters) falls over to side and then successively slides; this typically occurs road accidents involving type vehicle. Knowing deceleration rate sliding phase allows kinetic energy dissipated speed motorcycle just before fall ground be calculated. These parameters are very important reconstruction accidents. The work presented was developed two experimental test sessions...
The aim of the BLEMAB project (BLast furnace stack density Estimation through online Muons ABsorption measurements) is application muon radiography techniques, to image a blast furnace's inner zone.In particular, goal study characterize geometry and size so-called "cohesive zone", i.e., spatial region where slowly downward-moving material begins soften melt, which plays such an important role in performance itself.Thanks high penetration power natural cosmic-ray radiation, transmission could...
