Un futuro per Kiribati : proposte di intervento per insediamenti abitativi resilienti
2020
Secondo il Rapporto Speciale dell’IPCC Oceano e Criosfera in un clima che cambia, il livello dei mari è cresciuto a un ritmo di 3,6 mm all’anno nel periodo compreso tra il 2005 e il 2015, aumentando più velocemente nel corso dell’ultimo secolo a causa dello scioglimento delle calotte di ghiaccio e dell’espansione termica dell’oceano. Questo aumenta i rischi per le popolazioni che vivono nelle zone costiere ed in particolare per quelle che abitano le regioni artiche e gli atolli come le isole di Kiribati che, entro la metà del secolo potrebbero diventare inabitabili. I sistemi di protezione delle coste e i processi di adattamento che utilizzano gli ecosistemi e soluzioni derivate dalla natur…
Electrokinetic capillary chromatography in a polar continuous‐phase water‐in‐oil microemulsion constituted by water, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and n ‐p…
2005
A water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion (ME) constituted by 15% Tris buffer, pH 8.4, in water and 85% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/n-pentanol 1:4 mixture, capable of dissolving up to 30% vegetable oils and lard, was used as background electrolyte in reverse microemulsion electrokinetic capillary chromatography (RMEEKC). Owing to the free SDS ions in the continuous phase and some degree of percolation, the ME showed a high conductivity (0.65 mS. cm(-1) at 25 degrees C) and sustained a very stable capillary current. Previous rinsing of the capillary with a quaternary ammonium salt for electroosmotic flow (EOF) reduction, a series of nonionic and anionic solutes dissolved either in the ME or in fat…
Development and validation of a micellar liquid chromatographic method to determine three antitumorals in plasma
2017
Aim: A micellar liquid chromatographic method to determine several anticancer drugs (pazopanib, dabrafenib and regorafenib) in plasma was developed and validated by the guidelines of the EMA. Experimental: Plasma samples were directly injected, after a 1/5-dilution in a micellar solution. The drugs were resolved in <18 min using a C18 column. The mobile phase was an aqueous solution of 0.12 M SDS – 2% 1-pentanol, buffered at pH 7. The detection was performed by absorbance at 260 nm. Results: The values of the main validation parameters were: LOD (0.1–1 mg/l), calibration range (0.2–2 to 80 mg/l), accuracy (-12.5 to +11.7%) and precision (<11.9%). Conclusion: The procedure was conduct…
Singular solutions to p-Laplacian type equations
1999
We construct singular solutions to equations $div\mathcal{A}(x,\nabla u) = 0,$ similar to the p-Laplacian, that tend to ∞ on a given closed set of p-capacity zero. Moreover, we show that every Gδ-set of vanishing p-capacity is the infinity set of some A-superharmonic function.
Phase behavior of aqueous solutions of bovine serum albumin in the presence of dextran, at rest, and under shear.
2006
The demixing conditions for aqueous solutions of bovine serum albumin (BSA, fraction V) and for joint solutions of BSA plus dextran (DEX, M(w) = 2000 kg/mol) were determined by turbidimetric measurements as a function of composition, temperature, and shear rate. Aqueous solutions of BSA phase separate upon heating. Within the region of BSA concentrations between 0.05 and 32 wt %, the demixing temperature, T1, falls from ca. 65 degrees C to an almost constant value of 45 degrees C. Adding DEX to the BSA solutions reduces the homogeneous region of the mixture drastically where the amount of DEX required to lower T1 to 25 degrees C decreases rapidly as the concentration of BSA is raised. Exper…
Small-Angle Neutron Scattering from Aqueous Solutions of C12E6 and C12E8: Critical Fluctuations and Micellar Growth
1986
Static SANS measurements have been performed on 0.028 M C12E8 in D2O over the temperature range 20–74.2 °C. Little micellar growth is observed; increases in the scattered intensities in the low angle region are due to critical concentration fluctuations of correlation length g. We have also reexamined our SANS data for C12E6 in D2O, in light of other worker’s claims that a sphere-to-cylinder transition in micellar shape is occurring in these solutions. We discuss in detail the inferences about C12E6 micellar size drawn from the results of several different experimental techniques.
Modelling the influence of nanoparticles in the phase behaviour of an epoxy/polystyrene mixture
2007
Abstract The cloud point temperatures of four series of epoxy/polystyrene blends have been experimentally determined as a function of polymer mass and system composition. The phase diagrams show an UCST behaviour, increasing incompatibility as the molar mass increases. The Flory–Huggins theory with a concentration-dependent interaction parameter has been developed to study the compatibility of two polymers in presence of spherical nanoparticles. This theory has been first compared with the experimental cloud point curve in absence of nanoparticles, and secondly it has been used to predict the thermodynamic behaviour in presence of different volume fraction of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles co…
Shear-Induced Crystallization and Shear-Induced Dissolution of Poly(ethylene oxide) in Mixtures with Tetrahydronaphthalene and Oligo(dimethyl siloxan…
2003
Cloud point temperatures (T cp ) and crystallization temperatures (T 1/s ) were measured at different constant shear rates for the ternary system tetrahydronaphthalene/poly(ethylene oxide)/oligo(dimethyl siloxane-b-ethylene oxide) using a rheo-optical device and in the case of T 1/s additionnaly a viscometer. This system enables for the first time a joint investigation of both transitions with a given mixture. Shear favors the homogeneous liquid state and the formation of crystals. T cp (liquid/liquid demixing, UCST) shifts to lower and T 1/s (liquid/solid, segregation of PEO) to higher temperatures by several degrees as the shear rate, γ, is increased up to 500 s -1 . The normalized shift …
N-Isopropylacrylamide andN-Isopropylmethacryl-amide: Cloud Points of Mixtures and Copolymers
2001
The cloud point curve of aqueous solutions of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), poly(N-isopropylmethacrylamide) and their statistical copolymers were determined turbidimetrically. All the Systems demix upon heating at the cloud point temperature and mix reversibly upon cooling. The cloud points are independent of the total concentration of the solutions (dilute range) and of the sample thickness. Mixtures of the homopolymers poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and poly(N-isopropylmethacrylamide) in water (ternary systems) exhibit two cloud points, which are nearly the same as the cloud points of the two binary systems homopolymer/water. A quantitative correlation was found between the cloud point temper…
Phase diagrams of the system tetrahydrofuran/γ-butyrolactone/poly(ether imide) and determination of interaction parameters
1998
Abstract The thermodynamic interactions in the ternary mixture tetrahydrofuran/γ-butyrolactone/poly(ether imide) (THF/γ-BL/PEI) are investigated from 30 to 50°C. This is a membrane-forming system with a high He-selectivity. Cloud point measurements show that the two binary polymer solutions THF/PEI and γ-BL/PEI exhibit miscibility gaps which close towards the centre of the ternary phase diagram where the mixtures become homogeneous (cosolvency). Vapour pressures were determined for the subsystem THF/γ-BL. For the theoretical calculations the Gibbs energy of mixing is formulated according to the Flory-Huggins theory and the interaction parameter χ THF γ-BL calculated from the vapour pressure…
