Intermittency of turbulence in natural waters: patchiness in the thermocline of a lake under low winds and small-scale intermittency in the bottom boundary layer of a tidal flow
Turbulence intermittency influences so many processes in natural waters on a wide range of scales. This work analyzes intermittency, both internal and external, by considering two cases: the thermocline of a small lake ...
Technologies to determine quality parameters and the effect of high pressure processing on dry-cured ham
The research for new technologies able to determine quality parameters as well as study the effect of High Pressure Processing (HPP) on dry-cured ham is of scientific interest because the information obtained is useful for ...
