The gallerie They are complex infrastructural systems that allow for overcoming orographic obstacles, on a road or railway route, in territories with a predominantly mountainous development. They are engineering works capable of literally hold up the mountains above them and prevent these from collapsing inside them, thus allowing continuity of passage along the route, limiting travel times from a given ...

You are on the beach and – wandering around with your gaze – you happen to rest it on the lifeguard’s observation post, where some signal flagswhich serve to give swimmers essential information on the bathing safety. But apart from the red flag which is notoriously known to warn swimmers of dangerous bathing, what do the colours of the flags ...
The processors ARMor chips built on the architecture ARM (Advanced RISC Machine), are distinguished by their energy efficiency and their design oriented towards the reduction of instructions, due to the adoption of the architecture RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing). Unlike processors x86traditionally used in PCs and laptops, which use an architecture CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing), ARM processors run a ...
