L'accordo quadro firmato nel 1998 tra il Presidente della Conferenza dei Rettori delle Università Italiane(CRUI) e il Presidente della Conférence des Présidents des Universités Françaises(CPU) ha istituito una procedura di cotutela di tesi dottorali tra Francia e Italia. Nell'ambito di tale accordo si sono mosse le esperienze che Simona Calvagna e Vito Martelliano, ormai dottori in Progetto e recupero architettonico, urbano e ambientale, hanno svolto nel corso degli studi portati a termine nel mese di aprile del 2004: i percorsi di ricerca, fondati sulla interdisciplinarità, hanno prodotto una sinergia fra istituzioni culturali, appartenenti ai due paesi, che trova in questa sede una u...
The classic, definitive guide to the design, conduct, and analysis of randomized clinical trials.
A short, provocative book about why "useless" science often leads to humanity's greatest technological breakthroughs A forty-year tightening of funding for scientific research has meant that resources are increasingly directed toward applied or practical outcomes, with the intent of creating products of immediate value. In such a scenario, it makes sense to focus on the most identifiable and urgent problems, right? Actually, it doesn't. In his classic essay "The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge," Abraham Flexner, the founding director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and the man who helped bring Albert Einstein to the United States, describes a great paradox of scientific rese...
Sustainable groundwater development requires knowledge of the appropriate recharge and transport-processes. This is a prerequisite to understanding: (i) groundwater resources and their availability, and (ii) the dependence between groundwater and the environment. Conceptual understanding of groundwater flow at both temporal and spatial scales (local and regional) is essential for management that will support engineering, industry, agriculture, ecology, and all environmentally related issues. This book has been prepared for scientists, researchers, students, engineers, water resources specialists, groundwater consultants, government administrators and teachers. It is of direct and applied interest to practitioners in hydrogeology and groundwater (resources, quality, pollution, protection and clean-up), geochemistry and hydrogeochemical modelling, and investigators into environmental hydrology, groundwater dependent ecosystems, and other practical environmental issues.
