This paper proposes an innovative system for transporting natural gas from a site of extraction to a site of consumption, through the employ of drone airships. The airships contain slightly compressed methane within the hull volume and employ hydrogen as lift gas. In the paper the authors carry out a comparison between the proposed solution and...

Simulation is the best tool used to predict the behavior of real world systems. For the analysis of complex systems, simulation is often used prior to the operation of the system as a mediator for a dynamic situation. This chapter presents the issue of complex systems simulation through Discrete Event Simulation (DES) and System Dynamics (SD)...

The generation IV lead cooled fast reactors are of particular interest for the Italian research: several influential companies (Ansaldo Nucleare, ENEA) are involved in these important European R&D projects. At present, one significant European project in progress is lead cooled European advanced demonstrator reactor (LEADER) which includes,...
