Riassunto:

La fisica delle particelle elementari indaga i costituenti ultimi della materia e le forze che si esercitano tra di essi. Questo tipo di ricerche è basato sui postulati e le regole di meccanica quantistica e relatività ristretta, e sull'uso degli acceleratori di particelle. Nel seminario vengono trattati gli sviluppi storici che hanno portato allo stato attuale delle conoscenze, alla scoperta di leptoni adroni e quark, e alla classificazione delle interazioni fondamentali in elettromagnetica, forte e debole. Vengono inoltre discusse le prospettive future di questo tipo di ricerche.

Diapositive della presentazione

The Model 802 range of Electromagnetic Current Flow Sensors offer precision flow measurement in a wide variety of applications. A choice of sensor designs allows a range of requirements to be met, from the small spatial resolution needed for laminar flow modeling in the laboratory to larger highly durable sensor for use in the surf zone or deep seabed deployments. The electromagnetic technology allows operation in clean water environments, and the system can be supplied in several configurations to suit the application.

APPLICATIONS - Sediment Transport Studies - Hydraulic Modelling - Open Channel Current Measurement - Ship's Log - ROV/AUV Speed - Fixed Site Current Measurement

FEATURES - High Accuracy - High Stability - Low Noise - Low Power Consumption - Choice of Sensor Shapes - Choice of Configurations - Digital or Analogue Output - Wide Measurement Range - Corrosion resistant materials

Job opportunities:

• Every year, the University of Ferrara offers the opportunity to join the PhD programme in Earth and Marine Sciences (EMAS) in collaboration with the University of Cadiz on the following topics:

Coastal dynamics and management. This line covers those geological and oceanographical aspects most directly applied to the coastal processes and their consequences to the human activity. It includes fields such as the recent evolution and present trends of the coastline, coastal erosion processes and natural hazards on the coast, quantification and modelling of coastal erosion, transport and sedimentation processes, due to wave and wind action, environmental mapping of littoral zones, coastal defense works, coastal pollution modelling, and in general, coastal planning and risk and impact assessment of a wide range of human activities in the coastal zone, such as tourism, offshore drilling, offshore aquaculture, etc. An outstanding aspect of this line is that related to the analysis of socio-political strategies for a correct coastal management, by combining data from littoral dynamics with the activities and aims of the social agents responsible for the use of coastal resources. A further aspect is the reconstruction of past historical storminess and the prediction of future scenarios induced by climate change. Coastal dynamics also plays a key role for the conservation and management of the underwater cultural heritage.

• SEARCH FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR A JOINT POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY OF FERRARA (Italy) AND THE UNIVERSITY OF CADIZ (Spain)

Under a joint collaboration between the COSTUF (http://fst.unife.it/it/ricerca/aree-di-ricerca-1/costuf) Research Group of the University of Ferrara (Prof. Paolo Ciavola), and the University of Cadiz (Dr Tomas Montblanc), we are looking for a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow to work on a new project financed by the European Union under the H2020 Research Framework. The ECFAS Project (a proof-of-concept for the implementation of a European Copernicus Coastal Flood Awareness System), coordinated by Dr Clara Armaroli of the IUSS-Pavia, will contribute to the evolution of the EU Copernicus Emergency Monitoring Service. The project is due to start on 1 January 2021 and will run for two years. It involves 9 partners from 5 countries and is financed with a budget of 1.5 million euros under the H2020 LC-SPACE-18-EO-2020 call  (Copernicus evolution: research activities in support of the evolution of the Copernicus services).

UAV - drone (quadricopter) DJI Phantom 3 Professional

An integrated GPS auto-pilot system that offers position holding, altitude lock and stable hovering allows you to focus attention to be focused on shooting. If the Phantom 3 and its controller are disconnected during flight, the system’s failsafe protection will activate, automatically telling and if the signal is good enough, the Phantom 3 to return home and land automatically. The high capacity, high performance 5200mAh Lithium Polymer battery offers up to 25 minutes of flight time. A digital camera (GoPro) attached at the drone bottom provides high resolution video and image acquisition. High resolution images can be post-processed by means ad hoc editing software which combine images with ground control point measured on the beach with the GPS. DEM and 3D models are the final target of flights with this instrument.   The upgraded remote control comes with many new features. A gimbal control dial, trainer port, built-in rechargeable LiPo battery with a capacity of 2000mAh, battery level LED indicators and throttle locking feature that holds the throttle stick in place when descending are all included.
