Piezoelectricity measurements of hybrid films functionalized with ZnO nanostructures and cellulose nanocrystals

open5Piezoelectric energy scavengers for the conversion of mechanical energy (e.g., pressure, bending, stretching and vibrational motions) into electricity, have been manufactured using both polymeric and inorganic materials as well as a combination of those [1-3]. It is well known that inorganic materials possess larger piezoelectric coefficients than polymers, however they exhibit higher stiffness, which makes them less sensitive to small vibrations and more prone to stress failure. On the other hand, polymer-based generators represent a relatively small proportion of the total research due to the involvement of complicated material processing and device fabrication (using precise manipulators), which represent hurdles for scalability and cost. The aim of this work is to develop a novel coating of easy fabrication and low environmental impact that could lead to a real competition in the field of renewable/alternative energy technologies. In particular, we have utilized two different geometries of ZnO nanoparticles, synthesized on purpose and embedded into a UV-curable acrylic polymer matrix. The experimental set-up for assessing the piezoelectric behavior of the obtained UV-cured films has been assembled and preliminary results of this behavior are here presented.openDuraccio, D.; Fioravanti, A.; Malucelli, G.; Filippo, R.; Capra, P.

Vertical spillovers from multinational enterprises: Does technological gap matter?

Foreign direct investment (FDI) from Multinational enterprises (MNEs) can augment the productivity of domestic firms insofar as knowledge “spills over” from foreign investors to local producers. The capacity of local companies to exploit knowledge from MNEs can be affected by the technology gap between foreign and local enterprises at both horizontal (in the same industry) and vertical (in different industries) level. Whereas most of the empirical literature has focused exclusively on the analysis of horizontal and backward spillovers (i.e. between MNEs and local suppliers), the present paper also examines the relationship between FDI-related spillovers and technological gap in the Italian manufacturing sector at forward level (i.e. between MNEs and local buyers). Results suggest that at both intra-industry and forward level, the technological gap is of considerable importance for the spillover effect, particularly in the case of low-medium gap

Review about comorbidities of behavioural disorders in children and adolescents: The focus on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Disruptive behavior disorders (DBD) present high comorbidity rate mainly for opposite-defiant disorders that are frequent among children, adolescents and adults affected by with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), probably as result of common temperamental risk factors such as attention, distraction, impulsivity. ADHD tend to manifest in about 50% of individuals diagnosed as disruptive behavioral disorders

The behavioral parenting interventions (BPT) for support and mandatory integrative therapy for children and adolescents affected by disruptive behavioural disorders: A brief review

The behavioral parenting interventions (BPT), commonly abbreviated as parent training, is a program conducted by an expert with the specific purpose of improving or modifying parental practices in order to promote the child's well-being, increasing parenting skills in the daily management of the child, problem solving and reducing the level of parenting and family stress. BPT presents many positive effects on children or adolescents affected by neurodevelopmental disorder such as ADHD, autism and cognitive dysfunction but BPT appears to improve also other proximal outcomes such as parenting competence and parenting stress

Behavioural disorders in children and adolescents: A conceptual review about the therapeutic alliance with family and school

Aim: In disruptive behavioral disorders, given the wide range of symptomatic manifestations and the complexity of the sociofamiliar contexts in which they develop, it is now proven that more visible and more stable results can be achieved over time through multimodal and multidimensional interventions. These are accomplished through the integration of psychotherapeutic interventions for the child and parents, counseling interventions for all the various practitioners who come into contact with the child in school, sports, and social settings, through the possibility of organizing multiple settings in patient can be followed by several health professionals such as child and adolescent neuropsychiatrist, neuropsychomotricist, occupation therapist, psychologist
