HyperSMS: GOING HYPERSONIC, Spaceplane Multifunctional Structures

10th Cycle, 2014, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

The HyperSMS project is devoted to the identification of a solution for achieving reusability of space vehicles and thus increasing space access capability. What really is the obstacle for the realization of a truly reusable space vehicle is the flight phase called re-entry, when the space vehicle impacts with the Planetary atmosphere at hypersonic velocity.

Haptichem: A Haptic-Enhanced Framework for Chemistry Teaching and Research

2012, 8th Cycle, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

Currently, the approach in life science teaching makes a wide use of visual representations, especially when molecules are involved. Indeed, due to their size they represent an abstract knowledge that sometimes can be difficult for students to grasp. Visual perception is usually superior if compared to touch: first of all it is rapid, while touch

Data4cities : Smart big data for smart cities

2013, 9th Cycle, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

The Smart City is stuck in the middle between visionary concepts and implementation problems whose origin often lies in organizational and management problems. Since Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are often a commodity, what hinders the development of the Smart City is a lack of business and governance models defining how ICT-based initiatives can create
