Characterization of palm sap harvested in Songkhla province, Southern Thailand
2010
International audience; The purpose of this study was to characterise the quality of palm sap after harvested in Songkhla province, southern Thailand. Ten palm sap samples were analyzed. The results showed differed in physical and chemical quality among samples (P<0.05). The results showed range of L*, a* and b* values between 61.49 to 87.53, 1.46 to 3.52 and 12.41 to 19.31, respectively. The turbidity was ranged from 39.56% to 79.95%. The pH value was varied from 4.19 to 5.23, while total acidity was ranged from 0.27% to 0.93%. The total soluble solids ranged from 10.80 to 17.40OBrix. Total and reducing sugars were varied in a range of 10.36% to 16.94% and 0.88% to 3.56%, respectively. The…
Enabling Energy Savings in Offshore Mechatronic Systems by using Self-Contained Cylinders
2019
This paper proposes a novel actuation system for an offshore drilling application. It consists of three self-contained electro-hydraulic cylinders that can share and store regenerated energy. The energy saving potential of the proposed solution is analyzed through a multibody system simulation. The self-contained system demonstrates superior energy efficiency compared to the benchmark system representing the state-of-the-art approach used today (i.e., valve-controlled cylinders by means of pressure-compensated directional control valves and counter-balance valves, supplied by a centralized hydraulic power unit). Due to the power on demand capability, the cancellation of the throttling losse…
Efficienza idrologico-idraulica di pavimentazioni semi-permeabili per il controllo degli allagamenti pluviali
2021
La sostenibilità del binomio “acqua – città” è uno spunto interessante di discussione e confronto nell’ambito delle diverse discipline che affrontano il tema dell’ambiente urbano, delle sue continue trasformazioni, e della necessità di resilienza agli allagamenti. Le soluzioni tecniche e tecnologiche oggi a disposizione di chi si occupa di queste problematiche, per affrontare il tema di un rapporto sostenibile tra l’acqua e l’ambiente urbano sono molteplici, alcune tradizionali e di consolidata esperienza, altre innovative e di più recente applicazione sul campo. L’urbanizzazione influisce negativamente sulla formazione e propagazione dei deflussi; nelle aree urbanizzate i rapidi processi d…
Personīgās izaugsmes iespējas BSC darbinieku perspektīvā. Gadījuma izpēte
2021
Maģistra darba mērķis ir izpētīt, kādā veidā PBM process ietekmē to, kā darbinieki uztver un realizē savu pašizaugsmi. Ņemot vērā, ka PBM modelis ir kļuvis par pašsaprotamu instrumentu daudzās organizācijās, domājot par uzņēmuma un darbinieku attīstību, manā pētījumā tas kļūst par platformu kur satiekas darbinieku vēlmes pēc izaugsmes un uzņēmuma vajadzības pēc progresējošiem darbiniekiem. Kā galveno konceptuālo pieeju es izmantoju Burdjē (Bourdieu) lauka teoriju. Pētījums atklāj, ka tas, kas padara izaugsmi par darbinieku vēlmju objektu ir tās “dabiskošana”, fetišizēšana un padarīšana par stratēģisku instrumentu, veidojot savu profesionālo imidžu. Tas, kā darbinieki realizē savu izaugsmi, …

TRAIL acts synergistically with iron oxide nanocluster-mediated magneto- and photothermia
2019
International audience; Targeting TRAIL (Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand) receptors for cancer therapy remains challenging due to tumor cell resistance and poor preparations of TRAIL or its derivatives. Herein, to optimize its therapeutic use, TRAIL was grafted onto iron oxide nanoclusters (NCs) with the aim of increasing its pro-apoptotic potential through nanoparticle-mediated magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) or photothermia (PT). Methods: The nanovector, NC@TRAIL, was characterized in terms of size, grafting efficiency, and potential for MHT and PT. The therapeutic function was assessed on a TRAIL-resistant breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231, wild type (WT) or T…
Wetland Restoration with Hydrophytes: A Review
2021
Restoration cases with hydrophytes (those which develop all their vital functions inside the water or very close to the water surface, e.g., flowering) are less abundant compared to those using emergent plants. Here, I synthesize the latest knowledge in wetland restoration based on revegetation with hydrophytes and stress common challenges and potential solutions. The review mainly focusses on natural wetlands but also includes information about naturalized constructed wetlands, which nowadays are being used not only to improve water quality but also to increase biodiversity. Available publications, peer-reviewed and any public domain, from the last 20 years, were reviewed. Several countrie…
Okręty podwodne typu Vanguard jako podstawa brytyjskiego systemu odstraszania militarnego w XXI wieku
2016
W świecie pozimnowojennym arsenał atomowy bogatych państw Zachodu przestał odgrywać decydującą rolę w polityce międzynarodowej. Nie znaczy to jednak, iż państwa te całkowicie zrezygnowały z tego narzędzia wywierania wpływu i wyznacznika pozycji siły. Broń atomowa w XXI w. nadal pozostaje najbardziej śmiercionośnym narzędziem pozostającym w arsenale wojskowym. W związku z tym każde państwo dysponujące tego typu uzbrojeniem poszukuje co rusz nowych metod i środków przenoszenia, użycia i modernizacji tejże. W przypadku Wielkiej Brytanii sytuacja jest szczególna, ponieważ flota strategicznych okrętów podwodnych o napędzie atomowym typu Vanguard jest jedynym brytyjskim rodzajem uzbrojenia zdolny…

La relevancia de la investigación social a nivel local para el diseño de políticas municipales: el diagnóstico social de la ciudad de Valencia
2019
Presentamos algunos de los resultados obtenidos con la investigación ?Diagnóstico Social de la Ciudad de València, 2017?, realizada en el marco de un convenio de colaboración entre el Ayuntamiento de València, a través de la Concejalía de Servicios Sociales y del Servicio de Bienestar Social e Integración y la Universitat de València (Red Incluye). Uno de los rasgos más relevantes de la investigación fue su enfoque local, territorial y subterritorial en el desarrollo metodológico y técnico de la investigación al estarorientada a proporcionar información actualizada, inédita y relevante para las funciones del personal técnico de las once áreas de los Centros Municipales de Servicios Sociales…
