Sommario/riassunto

The heat storage based on thermochemical technology is associated with higher amounts of energy stored with respect to systems based on sensible heat. This interesting feature is stimulating the interest of the scientific community, among energy providers and grid managers, since it can effectively support the operation and integration of renewable high-efficiency systems and local smart grids. Research in this field is achieving unprecedented goals thanks to the profitable exploitation of results obtained in the field of heat pumps and thermally driven systems. The present issue offers the reader a sensational window to this rapidly evolving world.

Sommario/riassunto

Édifice religieux monumental, la cathédrale représente un symbole spirituel, patrimonial, culturel et politique. C’est pourquoi elle est confrontée, en temps de guerre, aux effets et à la violence de celle-ci : sa taille la désigne comme un objectif repérable de loin ; sa fonction religieuse en fait un symbole pour rassembler la population ; elle peut susciter au contraire une volonté de destruction, notamment iconoclaste, de la part de l’adversaire ; les cérémonies qui s’y déroulent pendant ou après les conflits implorent la protection divine, demandent la victoire, honorent les morts. Les enjeux politiques se mêlent aux dimensions spirituelles pour élever certaines cathédrales en symboles nationaux. Enfin, l’édifice est un lieu de mémoire des guerres, par ses cicatrices, ses mémoriaux, ses cérémonies du souvenir, voire de réconciliation. La situation des cathédrales en Europe occidentale des guerres de Religion jusqu’à nos jours – une période marquée par de nombreux et amples conflits – en témoigne.  A monumental religious building, the cathedral represents a spiritual, heritage, cultural and political symbol. This is why, in times of war, it’s confronted with the effects and violence of war.
