English to Italian: Double-deck destination control system General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Source text - English Double-deck elevators are used in tall buildings to reduce the core space occupied by elevators.
The handling capacity with double-deck elevators is approximately 1.5 times the handling capacity of single-deck elevators when considering different traffic patterns.
In an up-peak situation, double-deck elevators stop at every other floor thus reducing the number of stops during the round trip of about half compared to single-deck elevators.
If a destination control system is used with double-deck elevators, the number of stops during the round trip can be decreased further.
In this article, a destination control system for double-deck elevators is presented and its performance is compared to conventional double-deck elevators as well as to single-deck elevators.

Translation - Italian Gli ascensori a due piani sono utilizzati negli edifici alti per ridurre lo spazio centrale occupato dagli ascensori.
La capacità di movimentazione con gli ascensori a due piani è circa 1,5 volte la capacità di movimentazione di ascensori a piano singolo, considerando diversi schemi di traffico. In una situazione di picco in salita, gli ascensori a due piani si fermano ad ogni altro piano riducendo così il numero di fermate durante l'intero ciclo di circa la metà rispetto agli ascensori a piano singolo. Se si una un sistema di comando della destinazione sugli ascensori a due piani, il numero di fermate durante l'intero ciclo può essere ulteriormente diminuito. In questo articolo, è presentato un sistema di comando della destinazione per gli ascensori a due piani e la relativa prestazione è confrontata con quella degli ascensori a due piani convenzionali come anche con quella degli ascensori a singola cabina.

English to Italian: macroeconomic analysis General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Economics
Source text - English 2010 was characterised by some strong pressures on debt securities of the Euro area peripheral countries. During the year, both Greece and Ireland were obliged to ask the European Union and the International Monetary Fund for support, due to the difficulties faced in refinancing the expiring debt. The European Central Bank intervened on the market to assure the liquidity of those bonds mainly hit by the crisis. Furthermore, the ECB maintained a wide liquidity provision to the system to allow a correct operation of the banking sector.
The 3-month Eonia rate which, during the first half of the year, remained between 0.35% and 0.45%, in July, after the expiration of the long-term refinancing operation, started to converge towards the repo rate. The eonia rate, after having touched a maximum level of 0.80% in October, during the worst phase of debt crisis, started to decrease again to attain 0.60% at the end of the year.
At operational level, the portfolio was structurally invested in 3 to 9-month Italian Government securities, to benefit from the positive inclination of the yield curve. A limited exposure to short-term CCT was also kept, to benefit from positive spread. The product had a negative absolute performance. Considering management costs, it underperformed its benchmark. The underperformance of the sub-fund could be attributable to the spread widening between eonia rates and Italian Government securities.
Translation - Italian Il 2010 è stato caratterizzato dal forti pressioni sui titoli di debito dei paesi periferici dell’area Euro. Nel corso dell’anno sia la Grecia sia l’Irlanda sono state costrette a chiedere il sostegno dell’Unione Europea e del Fondo Monetario Internazionale data la difficoltà incontrata a rifinanziare il debito in scadenza. La Banca Centrale Europea è intervenuta sul mercato per garantire la liquidità delle obbligazioni maggiormente colpite dalla crisi. Inoltre, la BCE ha mantenuto un’ampia fornitura di liquidità al sistema per permettere al settore bancario un corretto funzionamento.
Il tasso Eonia a tre mesi, rimasto tra lo 0.35% e lo 0.45% in tutta la prima metà dell’anno, ha iniziato a convergere verso il tasso repo a partire dalla scadenza dell’asta a lungo termine in luglio. Dopo aver toccato un picco in ottobre allo 0.80%, in corrispondenza con la fase più acuta della crisi debitoria, il tasso eonia ha ricominciato a diminuire per portarsi vicino allo 0.60% nella parte finale dell’anno.
A livello operativo, il portafoglio è stato strutturalmente investito in titoli di stato italiani con scadenza compresa tra i tre ed i nove mesi, per beneficiare dell’inclinazione positiva della curva dei rendimenti. È stata mantenuta, inoltre, una limitata esposizione ai CCT a breve scadenza per beneficiare dello spread positivo. La performance assoluta del prodotto è stata negativa in termini assoluti; considerati i costi di gestione la performance è risultata inferiore a quella del benchmark. La sottoperformance del comparto è riconducibile all’ampliamento dello spread tra i tassi eonia ed i titoli di stato italiani.
