Uncertainty in urban stormwater quality modelling: The influence of likelihood measure formulation in the GLUE methodology

2009

In the last years, the attention on integrated analysis of sewer networks, wastewater treatment plants and receiving waters has been growing. However, the common lack of data in the urban water-quality field and the incomplete knowledge regarding the interpretation of the main phenomena taking part in integrated urban water systems draw attention to the necessity of evaluating the reliability of model results. Uncertainty analysis can provide useful hints and information regarding the best model approach to be used by assessing its degrees of significance and reliability. Few studies deal with uncertainty assessment in the integrated urban-drainage field. In order to fill this gap, there ha…

Urban Storm-Water Quality Management: Centralized versus Source Control

2010

The continuous growth of urban areas and the increasing public awareness of the environmental impacts of storm water have raised interest on the quality of the receiving water bodies. In the past two decades, many efforts have been directed at improving urban drainage systems by introducing mitigation measures to limit the negative environmental impacts of storm water. These mitigation measures are generally called best management practices (BMPs), sustainable urban drainage systems, or low impact developments, and they include practices such as infiltration and storage tanks that reduce the peak flow and retain some of the polluting materials. Choosing the best mitigation measure is still …

Improving the management of potentially predictable hospital readmissions of the elderly and their quality of life through new icts

2013

3rd International Conference on the Elderly and New Technologies. III Jornadas Internacionales de Mayores y Nuevas Tecnologías. The ageing population is currently beginning to create economic repercussions, as ageing often implies an increase of health expenditure related to, specially, hospital admissions and/or unplanned readmissions and long term care services. The present paper deals with two strategies that could be implemented through the establishment and use of new technologies to avoid these increasing costs: 1) screening tools of health information systems aimed at identifying patients at risk of hospital readmissions or repeated use of health resources; and 2) new icts at elderly…

Radionuclides in wastewater treatment plants: monitoring of Sicilian plants.

2015

Three Sicilian wastewater treatment plants were monitored to assess the occurrence and the behaviour of radionuclides. Two sampling campaigns (screening and long-term) were carried out during which liquid and solid samples have been analysed. It was found that 131I mostly occurred in the samples analysed during the screening campaign (43% of the analysed samples contained 131I). High 131I specific activity was found in the mixed liquor, recycled sludge and dehydrated sludge samples. This finding was mainly due to the tendency of 131I to be associated with solid particles. During the long-term sampling campaign an influence of the sludge retention time (SRT) on the 131I behaviour was found. …

The town as a concentrated source of reclaimable water and materials. Opportunities for an engineered conservation strategy.

2015

A fierce theoretical debate is ongoing about the human species’ existence itself being sustainable for Earth and for living world. In the meanwhile cities, which are considered to concentrate the mankind’s ecological footprints, are steadily growing and gathering huge populations worldwide. This paper assumes that margins do exist to relieve the man’s burden on Nature to some extent, and that – regardless of our general concept of the matter – these margins should be exploited. The focus of this note is on beneficial use of waste water and waste to spare new resources and to create filter areas close to towns or belts around them. A brief reference is made to some official declarations and …

Registro degli esposti ad Agenti Biologici: analisi dell’archivio dello S.Pre.S.A.L. di Palermo nel periodo 2007-2010

2011

In ottemperanza all’art. 280 del D.Lgs. 81/08 e s.m.i. l’ISPESL e l’Organo di Vigilanza territorialmente competente, rappresentano i destinatari dei Registri degli Esposti ad Agenti Biologici negli Ambienti di Lavoro: secondo la Normativa vigente,tali Registri vanno compilati dal datore di lavoro, con l’aiuto del Medico Competente, qualora le attività lavorative che si svolgono presso la propria azienda prevedano il contatto con microrganismi di Gruppo 3 e 4, secondo la classificazione degli agenti biologici operata dall’Art. 268 del D.Lgs. 81/08. I dati illustrati in questo studio sono stati rilevati dagli archivi dei registri pervenuti all’Unità Operativa Controllo e Vigilanza Sanitaria d…

I reattori aerobici granulari: esperienze con refluo reale e sintetico

2008

La granulazione aerobica può essere ottenuta nei sistemi con alimentazione discontinua in due differenti configurazioni impiantistiche, che permettono di realizzare i necessari sforzi tangenziali per la formazione dei granuli: il Sequencing Batch Bubble Column Reactor (SBBC) e il Sequencing Batch Airlift Reactor (SBAR). Lo scopo di questo studio è stato quello di osservare il fenomeno della granulazione aerobica e valutare il ruolo del tempo di sedimentazione durante la fase di selezione e formazione dei granuli. L’intera sperimentazione è stata suddivisa in due diverse campagne sperimentali in cui è stato utilizzato refluo sintetico, nella prima, e refluo reale, nella seconda. Al fine di e…
