Benchmarking plays a central role in the regulatory scene. Regulators set tariffs according to a performance standard and, if the companies can outperform such a standard, they can retain the gains observed by such outperformance. Efficiency performance is usually assessed by comparison (or a...

In this work, various assessment tools were comprehensively applied to investigate hydrogen production via glycerol autothermal reforming. These tools are used to study the chemical reactions, design and simulate the entire hydrogen production process, investigate the energetic and exergetic...

An experimental campaign has been devoted to characterize the engine fuelled by the ethanol based blend highlighting the advantages and issues related to the bio-ethanol use. The effects of the most important injection settings on the engine performance have been detailed, applying a Design of...

We provide statistical inference for measures of predictive success. These measures are frequently used to evaluate and compare the performance of different models of individual and group decision making in experimental and revealed preference studies. We provide a brief illustration of our...
