Effect of plant species on water balance in a pilot-scale horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland planted with Arundo donax L. and Cyperus alt…

2015

Abstract In constructed wetland systems (CWs) for wastewater treatment, evapotranspiration (ET) is the most important water balance component in arid and semi-arid regions, where high performance levels are needed when treating contaminants and where it is also vital to preserve as much water as possible for reuse in irrigation. This study shows the results of a series of water balance measurements obtained between 2012 and 2013 from a pilot HSSF system in the West of Sicily (Italy). The system was made by two separate vegetated units: one with Arundo donax L. (giant reed) and the other with Cyperus alternifolius L. (umbrella sedge), and fed with urban wastewater following secondary treatme…

De Kosala a Bollywood: dos mil años contando historias. Un estudio semiótico del ramayana

2008

El Rāmāyaa se originó en el norte de la India entre los siglos IV a.C. y IV d.C. Contiene elementos fantásticos, míticos, legendarios y religiosos. Los jainistas y los budistas escribieron sus propios rāmāyaas para criticar aspectos del brahmanismo y difundir sus doctrinas. La literatura sánscrita se inspiró en la leyenda de Rāma y la historia también se incluyó en los purāas. En el siglo V aparecieron las primeras narrativas visuales, paneles esculpidos en los templos que se leen como secuencias cinematográficas. La devoción y el culto a Rāma se popularizaron con el movimiento devocional (bhakti) y se compusieron rāmāya&#…

The reason for a project that was never performed: Alvar Aalto and the residential complex in Pavia (1966-68)

2015

This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of the project for the residential complex "Patrizia" in Pavia by Alvar Aalto (1966-1968). Although not realized, for political and economic reasons, the project offers an interesting example of urban planning in an “organic key”. In particular, this paper aims to contextualize the project of Aalto in the broader context of the residential building in Italy after World War II, when the problems of reconstruction and "home" are the heart of the debate on architecture. The project, in fact, takes place in the years immediately following the experiments of the social housing plan INA CASA (1949-63), which - with differences in design and architect…

Similar morphokinetic patterns in embryos derived from obese and normoweight infertile women: a time-lapse study.

2013

Study question Does female obesity affect the dynamic parameters of embryo quality assessed by time-lapse analysis? Summary answer Female obesity does not affect the dynamic embryo quality as determined by image acquisition and time-lapse analysis. What is known already Female obesity impairs natural and assisted reproduction but there is no agreement on the specific contribution of gametes, embryos or endometrial receptivity. In this preliminary study the dynamic parameters of embryo quality are assessed for the first time by time-lapse analysis. Study design, size, duration Two-year cohort retrospective study comparing embryos from three groups of patients according to the presence of inf…

Time-dependent O2 consumption patterns determined optimal time ranges for selecting viable human embryos.

2012

Objective To evaluate correlations between metabolic activity and implantation potential of transferred embryos in a study based on oxygen (O 2 ) consumption (OC) measurements, because O 2 uptake is directly related to the capacity of an embryo to produce energy via adenosine triphosphate. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Infertility institute. Patient(s) Five hundred seventy-five injected oocytes in 56 first oocyte donation cycles with embryo transfer on day 3. Intervention(s) None. Main Outcome Measure(s) We analyzed embryo destination viability and implantation depending on the embryo OC rate obtained from 47,741 measurements (up to 85 measurements per embryo, 2–3 measurements …

Gestational surrogacy: Psychosocial aspects

2016

ABSTRACT Innovation in assisted reproductive technologies together with increased infertility and new family structures are increasing the use of gestational surrogacy as a means to have children. Before, during and after the process, it is necessary to study the psychosocial characteristics of triad members: the gestational surrogate, intended parents, and offspring. Research has indicated positive adaptation to the process and benefits for all members of the triad. Altruism is the main motivation of surrogates. Notably, psychological well-being has been found to be higher in individuals who have become parents through surrogacy than in those who have used egg donation or have followed a n…
