Boston, Massachusetts, proposed subway route, 1895 (Raster Image)

This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Plan showing proposed route of subway, by the Boston Transit Commission. It was published by Geo. H. Walker & Co. in Feb. 1895. Scale [ca. 1:2,400]. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System, Mainland Zone (in Feet) (Fipszone 2001). All map collar and inset information is also available as part of the raster image, including any inset maps, profiles, statistical tables, directories, text, illustrations, or other information associated with the principal map. This map shows proposed subway route and stations from Causeway St. along Tremont St. to Boylston St., Boston, Massachusetts. It shows also features such as streets, station platforms, surface level and subterranean tracks, and more. This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps of Massachusetts from the Harvard Map Collection. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features. The selection represents a range of regions, originators, ground condition dates (1755-1922), scales, and purposes. The digitized selection includes maps of: the state, Massachusetts counties, town surveys, coastal features, real property, parks, cemeteries, railroads, roads, public works projects, etc.

Catalytic wet peroxide oxidation: a route towards the application of hybrid magnetic carbon nanocomposites for the degradation of organic pollutants. A review

Several motivations have prompted the scientific community towards the application of hybrid magnetic carbon nanocomposites in catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) processes. The most relevant literature on this topic is reviewed, with a special focus on the synergies that can arise from the combination of highly active and magnetically separable iron species with the easily tuned properties of carbon-based materials. These are mainly ascribed to increased adsorptive interactions, to good structural stability and low leaching levels of the metal species, and to increased regeneration and dispersion of the active sites, which are promoted by the presence of the carbon-based materials in the composites. The most significant features of carbon materials that may be further explored in the design of improved hybrid magnetic catalysts are also addressed, taking into consideration the experimental knowledge gathered by the authors in their studies and development of carbon-based catalysts for CWPO. The presence of stable metal impurities, basic active sites and sulphur-containing functionalities, as well as high specific surface area, adequate porous texture, adsorptive interactions and structural defects, are shown to increase the activity of carbon materials when applied in CWPO, while the presence of acidic oxygen-containing functionalities has the opposite effect.

Benefici del long route EGR sulla riduzione dei consumi: studio di fattibilità su motore diesel automobilistico

L'EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) è una tecnica comunemente sfruttata per la riduzione delle emissioni. In questo studio sono stati investigati i benefici, in termini di fuel economy, prodotti dall'aggiunta di un circuito EGR long route su un motore diesel per applicazioni automobilistiche dotato di sistema short route. L'indagine è stata svolta su di un modello motore su software GT-Power, adeguatamente calibrato e validato sui dati da piano quotato. Simulazioni sono state svolte al fine di valutare gli effetti del solo LP-EGR sul motore, per poi considerare un funzionamento combinato dai due sistemi di ricircolo (dual loop). Le maggiori portate che per il sistema long route interessano la turbina determinano un incremento nelle contropressioni. Ciò ha portato a considerare la possibilità di modificare il sistema turbo. Il layout originario comprendeva una turbina a geometria fissa (FGT), a cui ne sono stati affiancati due ulteriori con turbina a geometria variabile (VGT). I risultati sono stati analizzati vincolando la produzione di inquinanti ai valori registrati nei punti di calibrazione relativi al layout originale del motore. Effettivo risparmio di combustibile non è stato riscontrato nell'allestimento con turbina FGT a causa delle elevate contropressioni, mentre con turbine VGT è stata registrata una effettiva fuel economy grazie al sistema LP-EGR senza alcun deterioramento nelle emissioni di NOx e PM. I benefici riscontrati con il LP-EGR sono da attribure ad un incremento del rendimento indicato dovuto alla riduzione delle perdite per scambio termico a seguito di una minore temperatura caratterizzante i gas ricircolati.
