Real-time detection of highly oxidized organosulfates and BSOA marker compounds during the F–BEACh 2014 field study
2017
Abstract. The chemical composition of organic aerosols was analyzed using complementary mass spectrometric techniques during a field study in Central Europe in July 2014 (Fichtelgebirge – Biogenic Emission and Aerosol Chemistry, F–BEACh 2014). Aerosols were analyzed in real-time by Aerosol Flowing Atmospheric-Pressure Afterglow Mass Spectrometry (AeroFAPA–MS), Aerosol Mass Spectrometry (AMS), and Chemical Ionization Atmospheric-Pressure interface Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (CI–APiToF–MS). In addition, offline detection of acidic organic compounds was conducted by non-target screening of filter samples using High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) in combination with Ultra-High Pressu…
Social–ecological connections across land, water, and sea demand a reprioritization of environmental management
2022
International audience; Despite many sectors of society striving for sustainability in environmental management, humans often fail to identify and act on the connections and processes responsible for social-ecological tipping points. Part of the problem is the fracturing of environmental management and social-ecological research into ecosystem domains (land, freshwater, and sea), each with different scales and resolution of data acquisition and distinct management approaches. We present a perspective on the social-ecological connections across ecosystem domains that emphasize the need for management reprioritization to effectively connect these domains. We identify critical nexus points rel…
General overview: European Integrated project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality interactions (EUCAARI)-integrating aerosol research from nano …
2011
In this paper we describe and summarize the main achievements of the European Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality Interactions project (EUCAARI). EUCAARI started on 1 January 2007 and ended on 31 December 2010 leaving a rich legacy including: (a) a comprehensive database with a year of observations of the physical, chemical and optical properties of aerosol particles over Europe, (b) comprehensive aerosol measurements in four developing countries, (c) a database of airborne measurements of aerosols and clouds over Europe during May 2008, (d) comprehensive modeling tools to study aerosol processes fron nano to global scale and their effects on climate and air quality. In addition a new Pan…
Operational forecasting of daily summer maximum and minimum temperatures in the Valencia Region
2013
Extreme-temperature events have a great impact on human society. Thus, knowledge of summer temperatures can be very useful both for the general public and for organizations whose workers operate in the open. An accurate forecasting of summer maximum and minimum temperatures could help to predict heatwave conditions and permit the implementation of strategies aimed at minimizing the negative effects that high temperatures have on human health. The objective of this work is to evaluate the skill of the regional atmospheric and modelling system (RAMS) model in determining daily summer maximum and minimum temperatures in the Valencia Region. For this, we have used the real-time configuration of…
MINISAT-01: Hybrid satellite for science and technology
2003
Abstract The MINISAT-01 is a good example of a small hybrid space mission for science and technology. The MINISAT-01 main goal was to prove the Spanish industrial capability to develop a space mission including flight hardware, ground segment support, launch and operations. MINISAT-01 science was addressed to perform astronomical observations and microgravity experiments. The Payload has also a hybrid character. It is a combination of a previously flown experiment on fluid mechanics in microgravity (CPLM), a fully developed astronomical far-ultraviolet spectroscope (EURD) and a demonstrator of technology for a gamma-ray imagers (LEGRI). A small experiment to deploy systems in space was also…
Las raìces intelectuales de la crisis del marxismo en la interpretaciòn de Augusto Del Noce
2022
In the last thirty years, that is since the end of the Cold War, it has occurred a singular phenomenon in the democratic societies: several traditional communist parties have left the old Marxist ideology, by maintaining many aspects of the liberal one (primacy of freedom on equality, free market...) giving up their classical revolutionary calling. My thesis is that the italian philosopher Augusto Del Noce has given one of the most remarkable interpretations both of the historical and theoretical collapse of Marxism and of this paradoxical embrace between the ex-communist parties and a kind of liberal individualism.
In light of the ends. Copyright hysteresis and private copy exception after the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA) and oth…
2015
In British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA) and others v Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, the High Court of Justice in matter of private copy exception provides the twofold prime opportunity to shed light on the state of the art of copyright in the UK and to flesh out the idea of 'legal hysteresis’. I support the reintroduction of the private copy exception, possibly in a less narrow fashion, and I explain the reasons why I am confident that my expectations will be fulfilled.
The One Savior Paradigm
2009
The one savior paradigm is discussed not only as doctrinal aspect of religious teachings but as one of mostly manifested aspect of our psychic, that should be adequately investigated. We suggest simple idea that could serve as starting cognitive model for the one savior paradigm, that might give effect in considering global aspects of humanity, e.g., such as global economy and exact sciences in more friendly connection with religious thinking.

2020
Conference Proceedings of the International Conference Riga Readings in Social Sciences (RRSS). The Advanced Social and Political Research Institute, Faculty of Social sciences, University of Latvia annually organizes the international scientific conference Riga Readings in Social Sciences. The 1st RRSS conference (November 23, 2017) explored different transformations of civic society and various dimensions of inequality in contemporary Europe. Key-note speeches were devoted to the different aspects of social inequality. The 2nd RRSS conference (November 22-23, 2018) Baltic Sea Region: Hundred Years On. Contributions from interdisciplinary areas of studies (regional development, human devel…
