Terni–Perugia–Sansepolcro Railway
Terni–Perugia–Sansepolcro railway is a railway line in Umbria, Italy. It was built by the Ferrovia Centrale Umbra (Central Umbrian Railway Company, FCU) The line, about in length, connects Terni in southern Umbria with Sansepolcro, Tuscany, with stops in Todi, Perugia, Umbertide and Città di Castello. It is operated by Busitalia Sita Nord, a subsidiary of the Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane group. History The line was inaugurated on 12 July 1915. It was partially destroyed during World War II, and gradually reopened between October 1944 and May 1953. Passenger numbers peaked at 3,001,900 in 1975. In the late 1970s, due to its poor financial results and the risk of closure, the railway was taken over by the Province of Perugia. In 2000, the rail operator was reorganized into a company owned by the regional government, and in December 2010 it was subsumed into a holding company gathering all the regional public transport services. In 2009, the company employed 211 peopl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
ALn 776
Aluminium nitride (Aluminium, AlNitrogen, N) is a solid nitride of aluminium. It has a high thermal conductivity of up to 321 W/(m·K) and is an electrical insulator. Its Wurtzite (crystal structure), wurtzite phase (w-AlN) has a band gap of ~6 eV at room temperature and has a potential application in optoelectronics operating at deep ultraviolet frequencies. History and physical properties AlN was first synthesized in 1862 by F. Briegleb and A. Geuther. AlN, in the pure (undoped) state has an electrical conductivity of 10−11–10−13 Ω−1⋅cm−1, rising to 10−5–10−6 Ω−1⋅cm−1 when doped. Electrical breakdown occurs at a field of 1.2–1.8 V/mm (dielectric strength). The material exists primarily in the hexagonal Wurtzite (crystal structure), wurtzite crystal structure, but also has a metastable cubic Zincblende (crystal structure), zincblende phase, which is synthesized primarily in the form of thin films. It is predicted that the c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Acquasparta
Acquasparta is a town and '' comune'' in the province of Terni ( Umbria, central Italy). It is located on a hill above the Naia Valley and the river of the same name, facing the Monti Martani mountain range. It also sits between two hot springs, the Amerino and the Furapane. History The name's origin is traditionally connected to the Roman toponym of ''Aquas Partas'' ("divided waters" or "between the waters"), about which, however, no documentation exists. More probably, the name born from the presence of several different water sources in the area. During the ancient Roman domination the area was a retreat – a spa whose mineralized hot water baths were easily accessible from Rome along the west branch of the via Flaminia. Thermal baths remain open to the public today. The city was later part of the Terre Arnolfe, and was later subjected to Todi. Subsequently, in 1588, it became a fief of the Cesi family.

Torre Maggiore," about 18 km north of Terni at an altitude of 437 m, one of the southernmost peaks of the Monti Martani. As of 2001 there were 682 residents. History Testaments to the likely Umbrian origin of the site of ''Clusiolum'' are remains of walling slightly below the present village. Above it, near the peak of the Torre Maggiore (1121 m.) are the remains of an Italic religious complex dating to the sixth century BCE, brought to light by an excavation. The name ''Cesi'' derives from Late Latin ''caesa'', a place cleared of woodland. In the Middle Ages Cesi was a fief of the Arnolfi, the chief seat of the ''Terre Arnolfe''. The family claimed descent from the Lombard Arnulf, who established himself i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Request Stops
In public transport, a request stop, flag stop, or whistle stop is a bus stop, stop or train station, station at which buses or trains, respectively, stop only on request; that is, only if there are passengers or freight to be picked up or dropped off. In this way, stops with low passenger counts can be incorporated into a route without introducing unnecessary delay. Vehicles may also save fuel by continuing through a station when there is no need to stop. There may not always be significant savings on time if there is no one to pick up because vehicles going past a request stop may need to slow down enough to be able to stop if there are passengers waiting. Request stops may also introduce extra travel time variability and increase the need for schedule padding. The appearance of request stops varies greatly. Many are clearly signed, but many others rely on local knowledge. Implementations The methods by which transit vehicles are notified that there are passengers waiting to ...
