Determining water use of sorghum from two-source energy balance and radiometric temperatures

2011

Estimates of surface actual evapotranspiration (ET) can assist in predicting crop water requirements. An alternative to the traditional crop-coefficient methods are the energy balance models. The objective of this research was to show how surface temperature observations can be used, together with a two-source energy balance model, to determine crop water use throughout the different phenological stages of a crop grown. Radiometric temperatures were collected in a sorghum (<i>Sorghum bicolor</i>) field as part of an experimental campaign carried out in Barrax, Spain, during the 2010 summer growing season. Performance of the Simplified Two-Source Energy Balance (STSEB) model was …

Regional flow duration curves for ungauged sites in Sicily

2011

Abstract. Flow duration curves are simple and powerful tools to deal with many hydrological and environmental problems related to water quality assessment, water-use assessment and water allocation. Unfortunately the scarcity of streamflow data enables the use of these instruments only for gauged basins. A regional model is developed here for estimating flow duration curves at ungauged basins in Sicily, Italy. Due to the complex ephemeral behaviour of the examined region, this study distinguishes dry periods, when flows are zero, from wet periods using a three parameters power law to describe the frequency distribution of flows. A large dataset of streamflows has been analysed and the param…

We therefore questioned the existence and effect of current drought management strategies on the actual impacts and how drought is perceived by relevant stakeholders. Over 700 participants from 28 European countries provided insights into drought hazard and impact perception and current management strategies. The study concludes with an urgent need to collectively combat drought risk via a European macro-level drought governance approach.11.

Assessment of the integrated urban water quality model complexity through identifiability analysis

2010

Urban sources of water pollution have often been cited as the primary cause of poor water quality in receiving water bodies (RWB), and recently many studies have been conducted to investigate both continuous sources, such as wastewater-treatment plant (WWTP) effluents, and intermittent sources, such as combined sewer overflows (CSOs). An urban drainage system must be considered jointly, i.e., by means of an integrated approach. However, although the benefits of an integrated approach have been widely demonstrated, several aspects have prevented its wide application, such as the scarcity of field data for not only the input and output variables but also parameters that govern intermediate st…

Riflessioni e traiettorie di ricerca interdisciplinari sulla transizione digitale

2022

The contribution introduces the topic covered by vol. 12 of AGATHÓN through essays, studies, research and projects on Innovability©® | Digital Transition to investigate the current widespread transformation that unites dichotomies (analogue and digital), enhances oxymorons (artificial intelligence), creates paradoxes (materiality of the intangible), while indiscriminately involving architecture, humanities and social sciences, anthropology, sociology, ecology, biology, physical-mathematical sciences and neurosciences, with impacts that – while already visible today and accelerated in part by the extraordinary global health emergency – will become even more evident in the medium and long ter…

Il contributo introduce il tema trattato dal vol. 12 di AGATHÓN attraverso saggi studi ricerche e progetti su Innovability©® | Transizione Digitale per indagare sulla trasformazione pervasiva e diffusa in atto che unisce dicotomie (analogico e digitale) esalta ossimori (intelligenza artificiale) realizza paradossi (materialità dell’intangibile) coinvolgendo indifferentemente l’architettura le scienze umane e sociali l’antropologia la sociologia l’ecologia la biologia le scienze fisico-matematiche e le neuroscienze con impatti che – visibili già oggi e accelerati in parte dalla condizione straordinaria di emergenza sanitaria mondiale – si renderanno ancor più evidenti a medio e lungo termine. Una trasformazione certamente ‘digitale’ che studiosi come Floridi (2020) e Galimberti (2020) ma anche Haraway (2018) Searle (2017) e Chomsky (2011) hanno posto su un piano innanzitutto ontologico ed epistemologico in quanto coinvolge l’essenza delle ‘cose’ il modo con cui le definiamo il mondo che ci circonda e in particolare la nostra relazione con gli elementi che lo costituiscono.Settore ICAR/12 - Tecnologia Dell'Architettura

Comparative Assessment of Mould Growth Risk in Lightweight Insulating Assemblies Via Analysis of Hygrothermal Data and In Situ Evaluation

2019

In order to assess the sustainability of buildings with different types of insulating assemblies in the Latvian climate, a long-term test building monitoring experiment has been underway since 2013. There are a total of five test buildings on site with roughly six years’ worth of accumulated temperature and humidity readings in the key parts of assemblies. This study is meant to quantify the mould presence in building walls, floor and ceiling by performing laboratory tests, assessing the number of colony-forming units, and comparing the results with mould risk predictions due to the isopleth model developed by Sedlbauer, using both the hygrothermal data derived from the sensors within build…

Inclusive Design for Alzheimer’s Disease: Low-cost Treatments, Design and ICT

2019

Inability to acquire new memories, difficulty to remember recent events and to recognize objects, places and people, visual-spatial disorientation, these are some of the disorders with which who is affected by neurological diseases must learn to live with. In a continuously evolving society, where the decreasing birth rate and the drops in mortality are consistent, the job of Architecture is precisely to interpret the requirements and needs of people who have lost the canonical relationship with the world and give them the possibility to recover it or maintain it through communication channels that use their remaining ability to understand. The indoors and outdoors acquire a “prosthesis fun…

Incapacità di acquisire nuovi ricordi difficoltà nel ricordare eventi osservati recentemente mancata identificazione delle cose dei luoghi e delle persone disorientamento visivo-spaziale sono questi e molti altri i disturbi con cui devono imparare a convivere coloro che sono colpiti da malattie neurologiche. In una società in continua evoluzione dove la diminuzione della natalità e l’innalzamento della soglia di mortalità divengono costanti il compito dell’Architettura è proprio quello d’interpretare le esigenze e i bisogni di persone che hanno perso il rapporto canonico con il mondo e offrire loro le possibilità di recuperarlo o di mantenerlo attraverso canali di comunicazione che sfruttino le loro residue capacità di comprensione. Lo spazio interno ed esterno assume così una “funzione protesica” contenendo ed esprimendo in sé le conoscenze necessarie per la sua corretta fruizione riducendo il senso di frustrazione attraverso la sensazione di sicurezza e di benessere che il malato deve percepire vivendolo. Il presente saggio propone un contributo alla diffusione di conoscenze e di informazioni utili a coloro che operano nel settore della programmazione e della progettazione di strutture socio-sanitarie riportando soluzioni terapeutiche “non farmacologiche” low-cost e sostenibili promosse dalla ricerca tecnologica internazionale e nazionale nel settore della progettazione tecnologica e delle ICT e che hanno dimostrato di essere in grado di produrre significativi benefici sia ai malati sia ai caregivers.Settore ICAR/12 - Tecnologia Dell'Architettura
