Neck and Shoulder Muscle Activation Among Experienced and Inexperienced Pilots in +Gz Exposure

2017

Background The aim of the present study was to compare differences in electromyography (EMG) activation of the neck and shoulder muscles between groups of inexperienced and experienced pilots during controlled +Gz exposure in a centrifuge. Methods The subjects were volunteer cadets (inexperienced group) and lieutenants (experienced group) undergoing their first centrifuge training. The first group did not have any high performance aircraft (HPA) experience, while the latter one had a 1-yr experience of intense flying of HPA. During the centrifuge run, EMG activity was recorded from the left and right shoulder, neck flexor, and neck extensor muscles. Results The pilots without HPA experience…

A plant-wide wastewater treatment plant model for carbon and energy footprint: Model application and scenario analysis

2019

Abstract A new model for accounting carbon and energy footprint of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is proposed. The model quantifies direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to biological and physical processes of a WWTP. The model takes into account several innovative aspects with respect to already available literature models: i. kinetic/mass-balances; ii. nitrification as a two-step process; iii. nitrous oxide (N2O) formation during nitrification and denitrification both in dissolved and off-gas forms. A full-scale application has been performed by adopting the case study of a real WWTP. A scenario analysis was performed to quantify the influence of: composition of …

Effect of different cryopreservation protocols on the metaphase II spindle in human oocytes.

2008

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different cryopreservation protocols on the repolymerization of metaphase (M)II spindles in human oocytes. Fresh aspirated donor oocytes were cryopreserved 3–4 h after retrieval using four different protocols: slow freezing using 1.5 mol/l 1,2-propanediol (PROH) + 0.2 mol/l sucrose (n = 36); 1.5 mol/l PROH + 0.3 mol/l sucrose (n = 34); 1.5 mol/l PROH + 0.3 mol/l sucrose with Na + depleted–choline replaced media (n = 27), and vitrification by the Cryotip method (n = 23). The control group comprised 34 fresh oocytes. Three hours after thawing, surviving and control oocytes were fixed for meiotic spindle/chromatin assessment. Survival rates w…

Smart Cities. Luci e ombre di una visione di futuro

2019

L’epoca che stiamo attraversando è caratterizzata da grandi trasformazioni. I sistemi urbani permangono al centro del cambiamento, confrontandosi sempre più con sfide e minacce alla loro sostenibilità. Ormai circe metà della popolazione mondiale vive nelle città e il processo di inurbamento è inarrestabile. Agli inizi del ’900 si pensò che città con 8 o 10 milioni di abitanti fossero inimmaginabili e in ogni caso ingestibili. Sociologi e urbanisti dell’epoca ritennero che la crescita delle città dovesse essere bloccata e che dovessero essere offerte soluzioni alternative. Tesi del genere non hanno avuto, evidentemente, riscontro nella realtà e la crescita delle città è continuata. In Euro…

“Mega-Sports Events, Gentrification and Social Mobilization in Rio de Janeiro” - Experiences from Metrô Mangueira

2017

Master's thesis Development management UT503 - University of Agder 2017 In order to promote gentrification of the city of Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian government and the municipality of Rio de Janeiro have actively used Mega-Sports Events (MSE) in urban planning. Examples are tax cuts and the legalization of various measures for large-scale urban programs, to prepare the city for hosting these prestigious events. Whilst trying to fulfil the obligations from MSEs, the host city denies its citizens access to democratic participation and thereby their right to the city. The promises made to the international sportive federations regarding upgraded infrastructure, sportive arenas, media covera…

Salinity-induced responses and resistance in Trifolium repens L.

2015

Abstract White clover ( Trifolium repens L.) is a commonly cultivated legume with good ground cover potential often used with companion grass species in urban grassed areas. The effect of increased soil salinity on plant growth is an urgent problem in cities where NaCl is used as a de-icing material. The aim of this research was to examine the effect of different salinity levels and K supply-induced responses and tolerance in the T. repens L. variety ‘Daile’, a variety which is used in urban greenery. To analyze the impact of increased soil salinity and the antagonistic effect of K, the effect of gradually increasing NaCl (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 mM) and K (+0, +100, +200, +300 mg/L) levels …

Influence of Some Ionic Liquids Containing the Trifluoromethanesulfonate Anion on the Vapor–Liquid Equilibria of the Acetone + Methanol System

2011

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) for the binary systems acetone + 1-butyl-3-ethylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([beim][triflate]), methanol + [beim][triflate], acetone + 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([bmpyr][triflate]), and methanol + [bmpyr][triflate] as well as the VLE for the acetone + methanol + [beim][triflate] and acetone + methanol + [bmpyr][triflate] ternary systems have been obtained at 100 kPa using a recirculating still. The addition of both ionic liquids to the solvent mixtures produced an important salting-out effect, and the azeotrope tended to disappear for small amounts of ionic liquid. The experimental binary data sets were independe…
