Air pollution regulations are forcing ports all over the world to implement Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) solutions to improve the air quality of port areas. At this aim, the port operators have to provide safe and reliable electrical connections to the docked ships. The IEC/ISO/IEEE 80005-1 standard identifies the global criteria that allow ships from all over the world to connect to the compliant...
Port facilities have to be organized as microgrids to pursue an efficient electrical utilization based on the four “l”-pillars in the sustainable energy use: levelled, less, local, load (lele-lolo). This paper deals with the special case of STS cranes characterized by high power peaks and a low load factor that require an over-sized electrical network and cause high costs because electrical utilities...
A comprehensive design of an electrical system has to ensure optimal performances in terms of operation, maintenance and safety. The paper discusses the design criteria of electrical systems for refrigerated container parks in port terminals, characterized by a uniform placement of the containers inside the racks' structure. The paper considers, as case study, the terminal container of Kaohsiung,...
Muscular dystrophies refer to a group of inherited disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness, wasting and degeneration. So far, there are no strongly effective treatments but new gene-based therapies are currently being developed with particular advances in using exon skipping and other RNA-based approaches, conventional gene replacement strategies, and cell-based gene therapy. In the...
