Plant-wide modelling in wastewater treatment: showcasing experiences using the Biological Nutrient Removal Model
2020
Abstract Plant-wide modelling can be considered an appropriate approach to represent the current complexity in water resource recovery facilities, reproducing all known phenomena in the different process units. Nonetheless, novel processes and new treatment schemes are still being developed and need to be fully incorporated in these models. This work presents a short chronological overview of some of the most relevant plant-wide models for wastewater treatment, as well as the authors' experience in plant-wide modelling using the general model BNRM (Biological Nutrient Removal Model), illustrating the key role of general models (also known as supermodels) in the field of wastewater treatment…
New national and regional Annex I Habitat records: from #60 to #82
2023
New Italian data on the distribution of the Annex I Habitats are reported in this contribution. Specifically, 8 new occurrences in Natura 2000 sites are presented and 49 new cells are added in the EEA 10 km × 10 km reference grid. The new data refer to the Italian administrative regions of Campania, Calabria, Marche, Piedmont, Sardinia, Sicily, Tuscany and Umbria. Relevés and figures are provided as Supplementary material respectively 1 and 2.

A plant sociological approach for extensive green roofs in Mediterranean areas
2013
Extensive Green roofs can be an important mean for environmental mitigation if designed according to the principles of restoration ecology. Moreover, if optimally executed, properly managed and of sufficient extension, they could be assimilated to meta-populations of natural habitats, worth to be included in the biodiversity monitoring networks. The best example supporting this hypothesis is the Lake water plant Moos in Wollishofen (Zurich, Switzerland) where, on three 100 years old units of extensive green roofs, occur most of the typical flora of Mesobromion, including high density of some endangered orchid species. With this work, we propose a methodology approach for green roofs in Medi…
Emergencia planetaria : necesidad de un planteamiento global
2007
Las noticias de degradación ambiental han saltado a las primeras páginas y editoriales de los periódicos y las reclamaciones ciudadanas empiezan a multiplicarse. Todo parece indicar que estamos asistiendo a una progresiva toma de conciencia. Sin embargo, las incomprensiones y las reticencias a la modificación de comportamientos siguen siendo graves, con una fuerte tendencia a los planteamientos parciales y al reduccionismo causal, ignorando la estrecha vinculación de los problemas y la necesidad de abordarlos conjuntamente. El objetivo de este trabajo es, precisamente, mostrar la vinculación de los problemas que caracterizan la actual situación de emergencia planetaria, que no se limitan al…
A Guide to Perform 3D Histology of Biological Tissues with Fluorescence Microscopy
2023
The analysis of histological alterations in all types of tissue is of primary importance in pathology for highly accurate and robust diagnosis. Recent advances in tissue clearing and fluorescence microscopy made the study of the anatomy of biological tissue possible in three dimensions. The combination of these techniques with classical hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining has led to the birth of three-dimensional (3D) histology. Here, we present an overview of the state-of-the-art methods, highlighting the optimal combinations of different clearing methods and advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques for the investigation of all types of biological tissues. We employed fluorescence …
3D nanometric particle tracking over tunable axial ranges
The precise localization of nanometric objects in three dimensions is essential to identify functional diffusion mechanisms in complex systems at the cellular or molecular level. However, most optical methods can achieve high temporal resolution and high localization precision only in two dimensions or over a limited axial range. Here we develop a novel wide-field detection system based on an electrically tunable lens that can track multiple individual nanoscale emitters in three dimensions over a tunable axial range with nanometric localization precision. The optical principle of the technique is based on the simultaneous acquisition of two images with an extended depth of field while enco…
Comunicación de la responsabilidad social corporativa (RSC) en redes sociales
2018
El auge de la Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC) de la mano del surgimiento y desarrollo de la web 2.0 han propiciado cambios en la comunicación contable de información no financiera dirigida a un amplio espectro de stakeholders, que han repercutido en el uso de diversas herramientas y aplicaciones como las redes sociales -creadas para favorecer y fortalecer las relaciones sociales, incrementar la interacción y buscar una participación activa del usuario a través de la co-creación de contenidos-(Fieseler and Fleck, 2013). Con ello, las dinámicas de accountability corporativa han sido trasladadas de los medios tradicionales hacia medios interactivos que podrían promover el stakeholder …
I Palazzi Enciclopedici: le passioni della conoscenza e le forme del possesso
2013
Il Palazzo Enciclopedico, come aspirazione alla conoscenza totale del mondo, ci costringe a interrogarci, per converso, sulle cesure che attraversano il campo del sapere entro cui ci muoviamo, e sulle finalità che può avere il mantenerle o il superarle. L’ossessione inesausta e sempre frustrata verso la totalità, in cui la ricerca si sostiene sulla meraviglia, sposta inoltre l’attenzione sulle passioni che stimolano la conoscenza: un piano di confronto dove arte e scienza, viste sotto un’angolazione storica, negoziano le loro reciproche posizioni, e non sempre risultano antagoniste. Infine, il metodo della raccolta e dell’esposizione ci induce a considerare il ruolo degli oggetti, i quali n…
