Extreme Energy Cosmic Rays (EECR) Observation Capabilities of an "Airwatch from Space'' Mission

The longitudinal development and other characteristics of the EECR induced atmospheric showers can be studied from space by detecting the fluorescence light induced in the atmospheric nitrogen. According to the Airwatch concept a single fast detector can be used for measuring both intensity and time development of the streak of fluorescence light produced by the atmospheric shower induced by an EECR. In the present communication the detection capabilities for the EECR observation from space are discussed.Comment: 3 pages (LaTeX). To appear in the Proceedings of TAUP'9

Comprehensive analysis of local corrosion degradation on austenitic pipeline

Corrosion degradation was observed in a nuclear power plant spent fuel cooling system. A systematic and comprehensive investigation program was developed to reveal the root cause of the degradation. Series of corrosion tests, mechanical, microstructural and microbiological investigations were carried out. Also, simulations of the operating conditions and welding parameters were performed. Based on the results, the major contributors to the degradation process were identified and a possible degradation mechanism was propose

Airwatch: The fast detector

We propose an instrument to look for Extensive Air Showers (EAS) produced by Extremely High Energy Cosmic Rays (EHECR, E>1020 eV) from space (Airwatch concept) by observing nitrogen fluorescence radiation

Le secolarizzazioni nel Sacro Romano Impero e in Italia : premesse, confronti, conseguenze = Saekularisationsprozesse im Alten Reich und in Italien : Voraussetzungen, Vergleiche, Folgen

Il libro esamina un tema cruciale della storia moderna d'Europa, che ebbe manifestazioni e conseguenze di rilievo soprattutto tra la fine del XVIII e l'inizio del XIX secolo: le cosiddette secolarizzazioni di istituzioni e proprietà ecclesiastiche. I contributi degli autori mettono a confronto le trasformazioni politico-amministrative e la situazione del clero nei territori del Sacro Romano Impero, della monarchia asburgica e degli Stati italiani
