Selecting an appropriate size domestic rainwater tank for Colombo
No full textBoth India and Sri Lanka have experienced rapid population growth and migration to the major cities in the past decade. This rapid urbanisation has resulted in overstressing of existing water supply systems, with a loss of recharge areas and an increased depletion of groundwater. These effects have further aggravated the urban water crisis. During the monsoons, the existing drainage systems are overloaded and overflow thereby resulting in flooding causing severe damage to property. Sewage overflows often lead to the outbreak of epidemics and occasionally to the loss of life. Rainwater harvesting systems serve the dual purpose of water storage to reduce urban runoff peak flows as well as augmentation of the existing water supply systems. To achieve minimum costs while optimising the security of supply, rainwater tanks need to be sized taking the local rainfall conditions into consideration. This paper presents a methodology to determine the optimal size of rooftop storage based on historical rainfall data. Annual savings of in-house demand as well as the security of rainwater supply are discussed. The methodology is applied to Colombo in Sri Lanka. A case study is based on 150lpd household demand with 25m2 of roof area in Colombo. The appropriate rainwater tank is determined to be 2000 L in capacity. The resulting water saving is 54% of annual in-house demand and more importantly, zero supply from the tank happens during only one third of the year
Hypercoagulability during l‐asparaginase treatment: the effect of antithrombin III supplementation in vivo
No full textTo evaluate the occurrence of hypercoagulability during treatment with l‐asparaginase (l‐ase), thrombin‐antithrombin complex (TAT) and d‐dimer levels in plasma were serially measured in 15 consecutive adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma who had recently completed a chemotherapy cycle with cytosine arabinoside and methotrexate. The first eight patients (group A) received i.v. l‐ase alone (20000 U/m2 on alternate days over 10 d); the last seven patients (group B) received, in addition to l‐ase, bolus injection of antithrombin concentrate (2000 U) on alternate days for a total of six administrations, beginning with the second l‐ase infusion. Increased levels of TAT (P<0·05) and d‐dimer (P<0·01) were observed prior to l‐ase, possibly related to inflammation and cytolysis secondary to previous chemotherapy. In patients treated with l‐ase alone, further elevation of TAT (P<0·05) and persistence of increased d‐dimer were observed, associated with marked reduction of the anticoagulant activities of protein C, protein S and antithrombin III. At variance, in patients receiving antithrombin III supplementation there was no increase of TAT and a normalization of d‐dimer levels occurred during l‐ase treatment. In these patients, mean plasma antithrombin III activity was maintained at levels higher than 70% of normal throughout the treatment. The rate of decline of fibrinogen, factor IX, protein C and protein S was unaffected by antithrombin III supplementation, indicating that hypercoagulability has little if any relevance for the reduction of coagulation factors and inhibitors induced by l‐ase treatment. The usefulness of antithrombin III concentrates in preventing thromboembolic complications in patients submitted to l‐ase treatment remains to be determined. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell.

LA VALUTAZIONE AMBIENTALE NEI PIANI E NEI PROGETTI. La valutazione Ambientale Strategica e gli strumenti di pianificazione urbanistica e territoriale
No full textQuesto volume raccoglie i contributi presentati per la gran parte al convegno “Questione ambientale. Strumenti di piano e di progetto”, tenutosi nel dicembre 2007 al Centro Congressi dell’Università di Napoli Federico II.
Attraverso esperienze sul campo (nazionali ed internazionali), studi e approfondimenti di ricercatori ed esperti in materia, i contributi offerti consentono di fare il punto sul tema della valutazione ambientale e di verificare le prospettive di sviluppo di approcci e procedimenti che devono mirare ad un aumento di efficienza e di efficacia.
Organizzato in quattro parti: gli aspetti giuridici e normativi, gli strumenti ed i contenuti, i casi e le esperienze, il paesaggio e le aree protette; il volume offre una panoramica articolata della valutazione nei suoi rapporti con i piani e i progetti. I contributi sono integrati da carte tematiche, tabelle, schemi ed illustrazioni che ne facilitano la lettura e la comprensione, così da rendere il libro un’opera di riferimento in materia
