Mechanical Properties of the Carbon Nanotubes Materials
Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) replace the copper windings in the transformers and has high operating range variations with the frequency. CNTs with composites such as aluminium and copper increase the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the windings.

Solar Thermal Heating in SPIRE Industries
The Sustainable Process Industry through Resource and Energy Efficiency (SPIRE) association aims to integrate, demonstrate and validate systems and technologies that are capable of achieving key resources and energy efficiency across all SPIRE sectors. They include non-metallic minerals (cement and ceramics), chemicals, basic metals (non-ferrous metals, and iron and steel) and water industries. About 111 Solar heating for industrial processes (SHIP) systems are documented in the EU, of which 10 are integrated into SPIRE industries and the rest into non-SPIRE industries.

Methods for the Carbon-Supported Pd-Based Bimetallic Catalysts
Pd is the most efficient metal for this reaction due to its unique electronic structures as well as its superior ability to dissociate dihydrogen and activate acetylene, e.g., supported Pd nanoparticles can easily catalyze the reaction to achieve complete conversion of acetylene even at room temperature and normal pressure.

Road Safety Near a Landfill Assessment in Europe
In Europe, many governments are struggling with the ambitious target of zero road deaths by 2050. On the other hand, they are facing remediation of illegal waste dumps, subject to European infringement procedures and involving a lot of workers and heavy materials transportation. In Italy, a specific department was started in 2017 to carry out the remediation of 200 illegal landfills of urban/industrial solid waste. According to the Italian legislative framework on construction site management, risk assessment should also include risks for the external context caused by the working site.

Modular Construction in the UK
Offsite modular construction has emerged as a popular solution to tackle the chronic housing shortage and attain net-zero carbon targets in the UK. This technique involves the prefabrication of building components, sub-assemblies, and parts in off-site factories, which are then transferred and assembled on site as integral parts of a larger structure. These modular units may either constitute a small fraction of the overall project or form the entire building. Accordingly, the proliferation of modular construction is frequently justified by the promise of superior quality and precision in manufacturing, as well as economies of scale in mass-producing numerous standardised units, leading to enhanced productivity, rapid production, reduction of waste, and efficient allocation of resources.

Sea Waste to Enhance Sustainability in Composite Materials
The term “sea waste” generally refers to any solid, liquid, or gaseous material or substance that is discarded, disposed of, or abandoned in the ocean, sea, or any other body of salty water, such as a lagoon, etc. This includes waste generated by human activities on land that makes its way into the ocean, as well as waste generated by ships and other vessels at sea. Examples of sea waste include plastic debris, chemicals and toxic substances, oil spills, sewage, and other forms of pollution. These pollutants can harm marine ecosystems, endanger marine life, and impact human health and wellbeing. Sea waste can be recovered by its use into composite materials, as their reinforcement or as their matrix.

Modeling and Control of Isolated DC–DC Converters
Bidirectional DC–DC converters are frequently chosen for applications requiring high power density such as in bidirectional electric vehicle (EV) chargers. Vehicle to Everything (V2X) technology makes the EV battery an electrical energy source.

Port Efficiency for Connected Vehicles and Digital Infrastructures
In logistics and freight distribution, scheduling and cost efficiency are two crucial issues for transportation companies that look with favour at the innovation introduced by Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). This research contributes to the research by: (i) proposing a generic framework for the integration of autonomous and connected vehicles with physical infrastructures; (ii) evaluating the opportunity to manage traffic arrivals according to vehicles’ priority and testing the effects of the introduction of a buffer zone outside the maritime port; (iii) improving efficiency and security within the terminal area by reducing waiting time and avoiding interference between flows. Moreover, the proposal for a discrete-event simulation model to assess terminal capacity in a ro-ro terminal is presented.
