An interlaboratory study as useful tool for proficiency testing of chemical oxygen demand measurements using solid substrates and liquid samples with…
2009
In 2008, the first Proficiency Testing Scheme of Chemical Oxygen Demand (1stCOD-PTADG) was conducted to assess the results obtained for different research groups whose field work is mainly anaerobic digestion. This study was performed using four samples, two solid samples as raw materials and two solid samples to prepare high concentration suspended solid solutions. Invitations were sent to a large number of laboratories, mainly to anaerobic digestion research groups. Finally, thirty labs from sixteen countries agreed to participate, but for different reasons four participants could not send any data. In total, twenty-six results were reported to the COD-PT coordinator. This study showed th…
Le principali specie arboree esotiche invasive e le categorie forestali più vulnerabili alla loro invasione nel territorio italiano
2022
In Italia, come in gran parte d’Europa, sono state introdotte numerose specie arboree esotiche che, in alcuni casi, si sono diffuse al di fuori delle aree di impianto e si sono naturalizzate, causando impatti alla biodiversità e al paesaggio. Studi recenti hanno definito la distribuzione degli alberi esotici invasivi in diversi habitat naturali e semi-naturali a scala nazionale. Sarebbe però utile soffermarsi sulla loro distribuzione tra categorie forestali, unità di classificazione dei boschi utili alla loro gestione. In questo lavoro sono state identificate le categorie forestali attualmente o potenzialmente più soggette all’invasione da parte delle specie arboree esotiche invasive, con l…
Fisioterapia elettromiograficamente assistita nella sindrome di Pierre Robin

Sindrome di pierre-robin trattata con fisioterapia elettromiograficamente assistita: case report
2009
Pierre Robin syndrome is characterized by the triad: micrognathia, cleft palate and glossoptosis. This syndrome, which often undermines several organs and systems, is treated with a multidisciplinary approach that involves several specialists. The AA. present a case of Pierre Robin syndrome in neuromuscular rehabilitation by physiotherapy EMG-assisted. PMID:19445280[PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
Chamberlin, Edward Hastings
2016
The entry describes the life and analytical contributions of the US economist Edward Chamberlin (1899 -1967). It reconstructs the development of Chamberlin's thought on the issue of monopolistic competition and compares it with the Economics of Imperfect Competition by Joan Robinson.
Thermal conductivity measurement of insulating innovative building materials by hot plate and heat flow meter devices: A Round Robin Test
2019
Abstract The characterization of thermal insulation properties of construction materials represents a fundamental step on the building insulation assessment. In recent years innovative materials have been introduced in the market to fulfill the continuously growing requirements of energy saving and sustainability, and their performance is not so reliable and mature as it happens for traditional insulators. The work presents a Round Robin Test realised among six European laboratories hosting hot plates devices to measure the thermal conductivity of four different materials: aerogel, vacuum insulation panels, polystyrene and birch wood fibre insulation boards. After the definition of the comm…
Chlorine flavor perception and neutralization in drinking water
2010
For water suppliers, using chlorine is necessary to ensure water bacteriological quality from the treatment plant to the consumers’ tap. However, chlorine flavour is one of the most common reasons advocated for choosing tap water alternatives as drinking water. As a consequence, the putative link between chlorine flavour perception and tap water consumption is an issue in drinking water habits studies. Since the sensory mechanisms involved in chlorine flavour perception remained largely unknown, the main objective of this thesis work was to first highlight those mechanisms and then to identify potential lever chlorine flavour sensory neutralisation.In a first step, we demonstrated that hypo…
Initial approaches in benchmarking and round robin testing for proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers
2019
Abstract As ever-increasing amounts of renewable electricity enter the energy supply mix on a regional, national and international basis, greater emphasis is being placed on energy conversion and storage technologies to deal with the oscillations, excess and lack of electricity. Hydrogen generation via proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is one technology that offers a pathway to store large amounts of electricity in the form of hydrogen. The challenges to widespread adoption of PEM water electrolyzers lie in their high capital and operating costs which both need to be reduced through R&D. An evaluation of reported PEMWE performance data in the literature reveals that there …
Toiseus Robin Hobbin fantasiaromaanissa Fool's Fate
2010
Tutkielman aiheena on Robin Hobbin fantasiaromaanissa Fool’s Fate ilmenevät toiseuden eri muodot. Eteenkin keskitytään fantasiakirjallisuudelle tyypillisiin toiseuden muotoihin. Näkökulmaa laajennetaan koskemaan muutakin fantasiakirjallisuutta esimerkein ja vertailuin. Toiseuden teoreettinen viitekehys tutkielmassa on lähtöisin sosiologiasta. Pääasiassa toiseuden määrittelyssä käytetään teoksien Julia Kristevan Muukalaisia itsellemme, Zygmunt Baumanin Sosiologinen ajattelu sekä Stuart Hallin Identiteetti. Termi fantasiakirjallisuus puolestaan määritellään omaksi suppeaksi genrekseen genreteorian sekä fantasiakirjallisuutta käsittelevien tekstien kautta. Tutkielmassa verrataan Fool’s Fatessa…
The ultra-thin bronchoscope in management of the difficult paediatric airway
1987
The use of an ultra-thin flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope with a single lumen diameter of 2.7 mm at the distal tip to assist intubation of paediatric patients with a difficult airway is reported. Two patients (ages 30 months and 18 months) with mandibular hypoplasia and one patient (three months) with the Pierre-Robin syndrome are reported. In each case two fiberoptic bronchoscopes were used. The first allowed introduction of topical local anaesthetic while the second and smaller one was used for tube placement.
