Recycling city. Resilient city
2015
La resilienza urbana consente di affrontare efficacemente la sfida dell’adattamento dei sistemi insediativi rispetto alle mutazioni indotte dalla crisi ambientale. Nel progetto per la foce del fiume Oreto a Palermo, l’adattabilità delle forme e la flessibilità degli usi sono interpretate come tools progettuali. L’intervento proposto agisce sulla qualità del paesaggio e degli spazi pubblici, attraverso una gestione efficiente del ciclo delle acque, lavorando sulla resilienza, cioè consentendo di abbassare il livello di rischio idraulico legato ai fenomeni di esondazione, grazie ad azioni integrate di tutela del territorio e di permeabilizzazione dei suoli, nel rispetto dei cicli temporali e …
Nitrate and nitrite in the diet: How to assess their benefit and risk for human health
2015
Nitrate is a natural constituent of the human diet and an approved food additive. It can be partially converted to nitrogen monoxide, which induces vasodilation and thereby decreases blood pressure. This effect is associated with a reduced risk regarding cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Moreover, dietary nitrate has been associated with beneficial effects in patients with gastric ulcer, renal failure, or metabolic syndrome. Recent studies indicate that such beneficial health effects due to dietary nitrate may be achievable at intake levels resulting from the daily consumption of nitrate-rich vegetables. N-nitroso compounds are endogenously formed in humans. However…
Entropic model application to identify cross-sectional flow effect on velocity distribution in a large amplitude meandering channel
2020
Abstract Literature shows the application of the entropy concept in open channels flow. No existing research has been addressed to the application of the entropy concept for evaluating the effect of secondary flow which especially develops in curved channels. The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibility to evaluate the effect of the secondary flow on the stream-wise velocity distribution starting only from the knowledge of the surface velocity and the entropic concept application. The analysis is conducted with the aid of data collected in a large-amplitude meandering laboratory flume for two different values of the width-to-depth ratio. Results show that the location of the maxi…

Discussion of “Three Simple Flumes for Flow Measurement in Open Channels” by Zohrab Samani
2018
In this paper the results on three simple flumes for flow measurements are discussed.
Simple flume with a central baffle
2016
Abstract In this paper the stage-discharge relationship of a flume with a central baffle is theoretically deduced using the Buckingham-Theorem of the dimensional analysis and the self-similarity theory. The new stage-discharge equation is calibrated by the measurements carried out by Peruginelli and Bonacci using a baffle having a given throat length and five different values of the contraction ratio. Finally, for a given throat length, a relationship linking the discharge with the upstream water depth, the contraction ratio and the contracted width is deduced.

Imagem corporal positiva e redes sociais na população adulta da área metropolitana de Buenos Aires
2021
Resumen: La imagen corporal positiva presenta una función protectora preeminente ante los medios de comunicación actuales, sin embargo, a la fecha no se cuenta con estudios que la vinculen con las redes sociales. El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar la asociación entre la motivación y usos de redes sociales y la imagen corporal positiva, considerando diferencias por sexo y grupos de edad. La muestra contó con 180 participantes, 94 varones (52.2 %) y 86 mujeres (47.8 %), edades de 18 a 65 años (M = 31.03; DE = 13.34). Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el BAS-2 y una encuesta sobre redes sociales. La imagen corporal positiva presentó asociación negativa con dos escalas de la motivación p…
