Chapter Optimization of the Synthesis Procedures of Graphene and Graphite Oxide
The optimization of both the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis method to prepare graphene and the Improved Hummers method to prepare graphite oxide is reported. Copper and nickel were used as catalysts in the CVD-graphene synthesis, CH4 and H2being used as precursor gases. Synthesis variables were optimized according to a thickness value, calculated using a homemade Excel-VBA applicatio…

Chapter Optimization of an Earth Observation Data Processing and Distribution…
Conventional Earth Observation Payload Data Ground Segments (PDGS) continuously receive variable requests for data processing and distribution. However, their architecture was conceived to be on the premises of satellite operators and, for instance, has intrinsic limitations to offer variable services. In the current chapter, we introduce cloud computing technology to be considered as an altern…

Chapter Optimization model for a hybrid photovoltaic/cold ironing system: lif…
Cold ironing provides for powering berthed ships in port with electricity from the national grid. A local energy production improves the self-sufficiency of the port area. This work presents an optimization model for a photovoltaic/cold ironing system. The energy demand of ferries was analyzed, taking the port of Ancona (Italy) as case study. The model returns the optimal size of the PV plant b…
