Highly sustainable and long-lasting flexible pavements based on innovative bituminous mixtures

Strong impulse towards the sustainable transition and the Green Economy is recently affecting all research fields, including road pavement materials sector. To achieve the climate objectives, a renewed approach needs to be implemented to construct increasingly durable pavements, favouring the circularity of resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e). To this purpose, the Authors have studied some bituminous mixtures (traditional and graphene based structurally modified ones), fina...

Exploring language learning and teaching through texts and ideas: A historiographical perspective

Obras lexicográficas para el aprendizaje del español en el siglo XVI: el caso del "Vocabulario de las dos lenguas de Las Casas" (1570)

Study of a mobile medical testing unit in the context of a historic urban area

The authors studied the design of a prototype for a mobile medical testingunit in a specific historic urban context. The initiative was a response to a requestmade by the University of Padua to its professors and technicians for the generationof ideas suitable for combating the Covid-19 pandemic during the worst period ofthis medical emergency. The medical testing unit, designed for a wider context, wasinitially studied for the purpose of providing medical tests and check-ups for theUniversit...
