Drawing on information from secondary and primary data, this study examines the role of supplier relations as the moderator to enhance the relationship between the internal service quality and operational performance. Several measurement instruments are developed and used to investigate the relationship. Data was collected from mixed method. A soli...
Asphalt mixtures are the one of the most popular building materials in Hungary, because of the highway programme of the government. In spite of this large popularity, some of the mechanical properties of asphalts have not been discovered enough till today. In particularly, there is no mechanical model usable to understand and explain the rheologica...

The buildings sector accounts for more than 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Despite the well-known economic viability of many energy-efficient renovation measures which offer great potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and meeting climate protection targets, there is a relatively low level of implementation. We performed a citatio...
In many student-centred curricula, teacherswork in small groups with students. Guidingsmall groups is rather complex. Teachers needto aim to stimulate students in these groupstowards constructive, self-directed, contextualand collaborative learning. It is alsoimportant that teachers demonstrate adequateinterpersonal behaviour towards students. Inth...
Many of the sensors deployed at materials and test reactors cannot withstand the high flux/high temperature test conditions often requested by users at U.S. test reactors, such as the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at the Idaho National Laboratory. To address this issue, an instrumentation development effort was initiated as part of the ATR National S...

AtmoCube represents an innovative measurement system for the study of the Earth atmosphere starting from altitude of the order of 600 km. It appears as a cubic nano-satellite that has dimensions of 10x10x10 cm^3 with a total weight of 1 kg (aluminium structure). The main scientific instrument is a spectral dosimeter-radiometer allowing continuous monitoring of the radiation environment. The payload includes also a magnetometer belonging to the passive stabilization system. A GPS (Global Positioning System) provides a continuous measurement of the satellite position and allows to build a map of the measured atmospheric parameters. The goal is to build a precise map of the Earth magnetic field and of the flux of radiation impinging on the instrument, which is related to Space Weather effects. The GPS, providing the position of the region where the measurements are performed and the corresponding time instant, allow to correlate these measurements with other measurements performed on Earth and from the Space and therefore with the indexes of the Solar activity. In addition the GPS allows an indirect measurement of the atmospheric density. It has been decided to use an international platform, CubeSat, a "quasi-standard" structure that allows to start from a well consolidated basis. CubeSat is an international program and network that has educative purposes and is already in the production phase in the United States and in Japan. In Norway and Germany the program has started. With AtmoCube, Italy can become an active member of the CubeSat network.
