Energy is the capacity to do work and comes in many forms including mechanical, electrical, chemical, and nuclear. There are two main types of energy sources - non-renewable sources like coal, petroleum, and natural gas that will eventually run out, and renewable sources like hydropower, solar, wind, and geothermal that are replenished naturally. Power stations generate electricity by transforming energy sources - nuclear power stations use fission, thermal power stations burn fossil fuels, while renewable power stations harness the kinetic energy of moving water, wind or sunlight.
Work up sulle distrofie corneali stromaliLuca Avoni
Le distrofie corneali sono un gruppo di malattie corneali accomunate dal fatto di essere geneticamente determinate e si caratterizzano per alterazioni strutturali della cornea. Le distrofie corneali a seconda della loro sede possono essere classificate in epiteliali (ad esempio Meesman e Reis-Bucklers) stromali (ad esempio maculare, granulare e lattice) ed endoteliali (ad esempio Fuchs, CHED).
La diagnosi è clinica è può essere completata con OCT cornea, confoscan, esami genetici.
La terapia è diversa a seconda della distrofia, in alcuni casi è sufficiente una PTK (cheratectomia fototerapeutica con laser ad eccimeri) in altri è necessaria una cheratoplastica lamellare (anteriore o endoteliale) in altri casi ancora una cheratoplastica (trapianto di cornea) perforante.

DSAEK - Congresso SITRAC (Società italiana trapianto di cornea) 20 Febbraio 2014Luca Avoni
Il trapianto di cornea (cheratoplastica) endoteliale (EK) è una tecnica chirurgica in costante ascesa numerica. La letteratura internazionale ha dimostrato la validità dei lembi endoteliali pretagliati dalle Banche delle Cornee. Sempre più frequentemente i chirurghi richiedono alle Banche delle cornee lembi endoteliali pretagliati.
Durante il congresso SITRAC (società italiana trapianto di cornea) 2014 è stata presentata l'esperienza della Banca delle cornee dell'Emilia Romagna del primo anno in cui sono stati forniti i lembi endoteliali pretagliati per trapianto endoteliale DSAEK.

object or a body to doing
work.
4. TYPES OF ENERGY
-mechanical
-electrical
-electromagnetic
-sound
-chemical
-nuclear
-thermal or calorific
5. MECHANICAL ENERGY
There are two types:
-KYNETIC energy is the energy that
objects have when they are in motion.
-POTENTIAL energy is the energy that
objects have when they are moved from
their stable position of equilibrium.
EXAMPLE:
A car , an airplane...
6. ELECTRICAL ENERGY
-This energy is associated with an electric current,it makes
electrically powered. Machines work when they are connected to a
supply of electricity.
EXAMPLE:
A phone,a computer,a television,a microwave...
7. ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY
-It is transported by electromagnetic waves.Luminous energy
is a type of electromagnetic energy.
EXAMPLE:
A radio,a television...
8. SOUND ENERGY
-It is associated with sound waves that are
transmitted through vibrations.
EXAMPLE:
A microphone,a bell...
9. CHEMICAL ENERGY
-It is stored in substances.It can
be released or absorbed during
chemical processes.
EXAMPLE:
A battery, a pile...
10. NUCLEAR ENERGY
It contained in the nuclei of
atoms.It is released during nuclear
reactions.
EXAMPLE:
Fusion enerfy,fission energy...
11. THERMAL ENERGY
-Comes from the vibration of particles in
matter.Temperature measures the thermal
energy of an object
EXAMPLE:
A bulb,motor...
12. ENERGY SOURCES
-These are natural resources that provide
different forms of energy. This energy is
transformed for specific uses.
t
There are two types:
*Non-renewable energy sources
*Renewable enrgy sources
13. NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY
SOURCES
*Non-renewable energy sources come from
natural resources that are limited.
*They will eventually run out if we continue to use
them .
* Regeneration is very slow becouse they need
millions of years to form.
14. 1.NUCLEAR ENERGY
1.1 PRODUCTION:
Nuclear energy is stored in the nuclei of atoms.This is
released in the nuclear reaction that occurs in certain
u
atoms.There are two kinds:
*Nuclear fusion:This is when two lights nuclei join to form a
heavier nucleus.
*Nuclear fission:This is when a heavy nucleus is split into two
lighter nuclei by bombarding it whith neutrons.It is the
opposite of nuclear fusion.
15. 1.2.TRANSFORMATION:
-Nuclear power stations use fission energy.The thermal
energy released by the reaction heats water and the water is
converted into steam under high pressure.This style moves
the turbines of a generator to produce electrical energy.In
Spain there are six nuclear power stations.
16. 2.COAL
-Coal was formed some 300 million years ago from the
remains of plants that were buried and transformed in
the absence of oxygen.It's classified into four types:
anthracite,bituminous coal,lignite, and peat.
17. 2.1.EXTRACTION
-There are two methods for extracting coal:
*Open-cast mines : when the coal is closed to the
surface,soil is removed to exposed it.The coal is
extracted with special machinery and explosives.
*Undergrond mines : when the mineral is buried deep
below the surface,it must be mined underground.
18. 2.2.TRANSPORT
-In the mine, it's transported in carts, on coveyor belts, in
lifts , etc. After removing the gangue, the coal is washed
and crushed and transported.
*by sea: in enormous ships.
*by land: normally by train.
*by road: usually for local transport.
19. 2.3.USES
*FOR ENERGY:
Nowadays:
·To generate electricity in convetional power stations.
·For central heating systems.
In the past:
·For street lighting.
·As domestic fuels.
*OTHER USES:
Derivatives of coal:
·Coke
·Pitch and tar.

21. 3.1.EXTRACTION
-It is expensive and difficult to extract because it's usually
deep undergrond.
1-One form of extract petroleum is drilling on land or under
the sea.An oil rig is the platform built in the sea.
22. 2-Then it is extracted using pumps,or natural pressure in the
well causes the oil to rise to the surface.
3-The extracted petroleum contains salt water, rock, mud and
gas, so finally it's purified.
23. 3.2.STORAGE AND
TRANSPORT

underground gas fuelds and in
porous rocks. It often found along
With petroleum deposits.
28. 4.2.STORAGE AND USES
1-Natural gas is transported from gas fuels by gas pipelines to a
liquefaction plant.
2-The gas is transformed into liquid form. The volume of the gas is
reduces with this process.
3-It is transported in specially designed ships called LNG carriers.
4-When the LNG carried reaches it´s destination, the LNG is returned
to a gaseous state, and is transported once again through gas pipelines.
29. 4.3. USES
-Gas for fuel is used in industry and in
homes to produce thermal energy, and in
thermal power stations to obtain
electrical energy.
30. RENEWABLE ENERGY
SOURCES
-Renewable energy comes from natural resources
without limits.
31. 1.HYDRAULIC ENERGY
-This is the mechanical energy produced by the movement of
water.
1.1.PRODUCTION
-We build dams to store river water.
1-When the water is released from the dam and falls,
its potential enrgy is transformed into kinetic energy.
2-The kinetic energy moves mechanical elements called
turbines, which rotate an alternator.
3-The alternator transforms kinetic energy into electricity
