Global scale monthly Priestley-Taylor (PT) coefficients for reference evapotranspiration (ETo) estimation
No full textThe Priestley-Taylor (PT) method is widely used in hydrologic and crop models to estimate reference evapotranspiration (ETo) or atmospheric demand for water. However, the default value of the PT coefficient (PTa=1.26) cannot assure reliability under different climatic regions. Here, we provide monthly PTa values at global scales with a spatial resolution of 0.25° using weather data from the daily Princeton Global Forcing dataset (0.25° × 0.25°, 1948-2016). The PTa values was calculated using an analytical expression for PT coefficient following the FAO-PM method. The data generated from this study can be directly incorporated into hydrologic and crop models using the PT method. Details can be found in our paper: Su, Q., and Singh, V.P. (2023).

Interview to BBC Radio 4: Civic core
No full textLaurie Taylor talks to Professor Harvey Molotch from New York University about his book examining public conveniences from a sociological, architectural and town planning perspective. Laurie also discusses the idea of a 'civic core'- who volunteers in their community and how? - and talks to Professor John Mohan about his research paper exploring volunteerism. They are joined by Professor Su Maddock.<br/

Influence of hydrodynamics on liquid mixing during Taylor flow in a microchannel
No full textThe miscible liquid-liquid two phases based on Taylor flow in microchannels was investigated by high-speed imaging techniques and Villermaux/Dushman reaction. The mixing based on Taylor flow was much better compared with that without introducing gas in microchannels, even the ideal micromixing performance could be obtained under optimized superficial gas and liquid velocities. In the mixing process based on Taylor flow, the superficial gas and liquid velocities affected the lengths and the velocities of Taylor bubble and liquid slug, and finally the micromixing performance. The formation process of Taylor flow in the inlets, the initial uniform distribution of reactants and the internal circulations in the liquid slug, and the thin liquid films all improved the mixing performance. Furthermore, a modified Peclet number that represented the relative importance of diffusion and convection in the mixing process was proposed for explaining and anticipating micromixing efficiency.

Analysis and development of the Taylor-Couette flow reactor for large-scale synthesis of silica nanoparticles
Full text linkopenQuesta trattazione vede come obbiettivo un’analisi mirata e possibili azioni di perfezionamento per un reattore a flusso Taylor-Couette, mirato alla produzione farmaceutica su larga scala sotto la società "Brenta Pharma" di Vicenza. Il progetto mira a migliorare la sintesi di specifici farmaci a matrice inorganica utilizzando un reattore personalizzato con caratteristiche dimensionali e di rilascio conformi a specifici standard per aumentare l'efficienza dell'azienda. Questa ricerca mira a facilitare la sintesi di nanoparticelle di silice mesoporosa attraverso la procedura sol-gel, successivamente modificate con agenti farmacologici mirati e rivestite con un polimero biocompatibile. Il reattore Taylor-Couette ha dimostrato una produzione accurata ed efficiente su scala sostanziale, gestendo variabili critiche come la velocità di produzione, la temperatura e il tempo di permanenza.
Il sistema ottimizzato ha mostrato una capacità di carico del farmaco elevata, un comportamento di rilascio controllato e dimensioni delle particelle regolabili, destinate a ottimizzare l'efficacia terapeutica.
L'analisi dei dati raccolti dalle prove condotte da Brenta Pharma su diversi campioni è stata effettuata al fine di valutare l'impatto del sistema su aspetti come l'efficienza di produzione, taglio dei costi e la resa. I risultati hanno mostrato notevoli progressi nella produzione e nell'efficacia, accompagnati da una sostanziale diminuzione degli sprechi di materiali e della durata di fabbricazione.
In conclusione, questo studio favorisce lo sviluppo di meccanismi innovativi ed efficaci di produzione farmaceutica che possono essere prodotti in massa da Brenta Pharma e aziende analoghe, migliorando così la redditività della produzione e aumentando la disponibilità di trattamenti medici.The objective of this thesis is to carry out a targeted analysis and propose possible refinements to a Taylor-Couette flow reactor for large-scale pharmaceutical production under the auspices of "Brenta Pharma" in Vicenza. The project aims to improve the synthesis of specific inorganic drug carriers using a customized reactor with size and release properties that comply with specific standards to increase the efficiency of the company. This research aims to facilitate the synthesis of mesoporous silica nanoparticles using the sol-gel procedure, subsequently modified with targeted pharmacological agents and enveloped with a biocompatible polymer. The Taylor-Couette flow reactor demonstrated accurate and efficient production on a substantial scale, managing critical variables such as production rate, temperature, and residence time.
The optimized system exhibited elevated drug-loading capacity, restrained drug-releasing behavior, and adjustable particle dimensions, intended to optimize therapeutic effectiveness.
The analysis of data collected from trials conducted by Brenta Pharma on various samples was carried out with the aim of assessing the impact of the system on aspects such as production efficiency, cost-cutting, and yield. The results showed significant progress in production and efficacy, accompanied by substantial reductions in material wastage and manufacturing duration.
In conclusion, this study facilitates the development of innovative and effective pharmaceutical production mechanisms that can be mass-produced by Brenta Pharma and similar companies, thereby improving the profitability of production and increasing the availability of medical treatments
Charles Taylor: multiculturalismo tra identità e riconoscimento
No full textIl contributo intende analizzare la complessa e multidimensionale opera prodotta da Charles Taylor, dal livello antropologico fino a quello culturale, passando per il livello politico sociale.
Ci si interroga su questioni di disagio della modernità, come la crisi dell'identità e la crisi del progetto, con un punto di osservazione preciso, che è quello del multiculturalismo e delle sue sfide.
Gli obiettivi del contributo sono quelli di declinare il pensiero di Taylor in relazione ai concetti di identità e riconoscimento
