"The Italian Pragmatists were a group of philosophers in the early 20th century, most notably including Giovanni Vailati, Mario Calderoni, Giovanni Papini and Giuseppe Prezzolini. They gathered around the journal Leonardo, published in Florence. The Italian philosophers were in contact with the American Pragmatists, especially with Peirce and James, and developed many original and provocative ideas that made them allies and enemies. Critics have often stressed the differences between their versions of Pragmatism. This volume emphasizes what they shared, and their value for philosophy and culture"--

In this paper the performance of a maximum power point technique, which is suitable for photovoltaic applications to sustainable mobility, is documented. The approach is based on the use of one DC/DC converter per sub-section of the photovoltaic array, with a central controller that changes the duty cycle of each DC/DC converter in a way that the current injected into the battery is maximized. The control has been implemented by programming a Microchip controller through Simulink in order to have a fast prototyping. The experimental measurements, obtained during the regular driving of the vehicle, reveal the superiority of the technique in order to maximize the power harvested from the cells that are differently oriented with respect to the sun rays. The results are achieved in the frame the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No. 653288 - OPTEMUS.
