Orthogonal switching of AMS axes during type-2 fold interference : Insights from integrated X-ray computed tomography, AMS and 3D petrography
2017
We applied X-ray computed microtomography (μ-CT) in combination with anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) analysis to study metamorphic rock fabrics in an oriented drill core sample of pyrite-pyrrhotite-quartz-mica schist. The sample is extracted from the Paleoproterozoic Martimo metasedimentary belt of northern Finland. The μ-CT resolves the spatial distribution, shape and orientation of 25,920 pyrrhotite and 153 pyrite grains localized in mm-thick metapelitic laminae. Together with microstructural analysis, the μ-CT allows us to interpret the prolate symmetry of the AMS ellipsoid and its relationship to the deformation history. AMS of the sample is controlled by pyrrhotite porphyro…
Single Event Transients and Pulse Quenching Effects in Bandgap Reference Topologies for Space Applications
2016
An architectural performance comparison of bandgap voltage reference variants, designed in a $0.18~\mu \text {m}$ CMOS process, is performed with respect to single event transients. These are commonly induced in microelectronics in the space radiation environment. Heavy ion tests (Silicon, Krypton, Xenon) are used to explore the analog single-event transients and have revealed pulse quenching mechanisms in analogue circuits. The different topologies are compared, in terms of cross-section, pulse duration and pulse amplitude. The measured results, and the explanations behind the findings, reveal important guidelines for designing analog integrated circuits, which are intended for space appli…
Ravinteiden vaikutus vesikirpun (Daphnia longispina) loisintaan Mekkojärvellä
2010
Voimakkaasti humuksisessa Mekkojärvessä Daphnia longispina hallitsee järven eläinplanktonia läpi kesän. Daphnioiden kasvu hidastuu loppukesää kohti kasviplanktonin määrän vähetessä, ja ravinnosta jopa 73 % koostuu bakteeriplanktonista, jonka katsotaan olevan heikompi ravinnonlähde Daphnioille. Isännän ravitsemuksen laadulla voi olla joko positiivisia tai negatiivisia vaikutuksia vesikirpun loisintaan ja sen runsauteen. Lammin Mekkojärvellä selvitettiin ravinnelisäyksen välillistä vaikutusta vesikirppujen loisintaan kuuden viikon mittaisessa ravinnemanipulaatiokokeessa kuudessa mesokosmoksessa kesällä 2008. Kolme mesokosmosta sai viikottaisen epäorgaanisen typpi- ja fosforilisäyksen ja kolme…
Particle chemical properties in the vertical column based on aircraft observations in the vicinity of Cape Verde Islands
2011
During the second Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM-2) field campaign, particles with geometric diameters (d) between ∼0.1 and 25 μm were collected on board of the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (German Aerospace Center, DLR) Falcon aircraft. Size, chemical composition and mixing state of aerosols sampled (spatially and vertically resolved) along the West African coastline and in the Cape Verde Islands region were determined by electron microscopy. A pronounced layer structure of biomass-burning aerosol and desert dust was present for all days during the sampling period from 23 January to 6 February. The aerosol composition of the small particles (d < 0.5 μm) was highly v…
Greater mitochondrial energy production provides resistance to ocean acidification in "winning" hermatypic corals
2021
Coral communities around the world are projected to be negatively affected by ocean acidification. Not all coral species will respond in the same manner to rising CO2 levels. Evidence from naturally acidified areas such as CO2 seeps have shown that although a few species are resistant to elevated CO2, most lack sufficient resistance resulting in their decline. This has led to the simple grouping of coral species into “winners” and “losers,” but the physiological traits supporting this ecological assessment are yet to be fully understood. Here using CO2 seeps, in two biogeographically distinct regions, we investigated whether physiological traits related to energy production [mitochondrial e…

STRATEGIE DI BREVE PERIODO PER UNA MOBILITÀ SOSTENIBILE IN AMBITO URBANO.
2008
L’inquinamento atmosferico desta particolari preoccupazioni soprattutto nelle aree urbane, sia per l’intensa produzione di inquinanti, con frequenti episodi acuti, sia per il cospicuo numero di cittadini esposti al rischio di danni alla salute. Inoltre, all’interno dei centri urbani, le emissioni di inquinanti diffuse dagli scarichi dei veicoli (CO, NOX, COV, PM10, IPA, ecc.) avvengono in condizioni particolarmente sfavorevoli per le condizioni operative del deflusso veicolare, che risulta interrotto a causa della presenza di intersezioni (semaforizzate e non) particolarmente ravvicinate tra loro, e per l’edificato che inibisce la rapida dispersione dei gas di scarico in atmosfera. La netta…
CNO and pep solar neutrino measurements and perspectives in Borexino
2015
International audience; The detection of neutrinos emitted in the CNO reactions in the Sun is one of the ambitious goals of Borexino Phase-II. A measurement of CNO neutrinos would be a milestone in astrophysics, and would allow to solve serious issues in current solar models. A precise measurement of the rate of neutrinos from the pep reaction would allow to investigate neutrino oscillations in the MSW transition region. The pep and CNO solar neutrino physics, the measurement in Borexino Phase-I and the perspectives for the new phase are reviewed in this proceeding.
Bases metodológicas para el uso de la modelización en la enseñanza y comprensión de la dinámica litoral
2017
[EN] This paper proposes the use of modelling to improve the understanding of certain coastal environmentalproblems. In particular the methodological basis that was used to build a consensus teaching model, in-cluding environmental and human factors that determine the dynamics of coastal sediments, is included.The development of the consensus model had the collaboration of experts in coastal sedimentology andecosystems as well as teachers of di erent educational levels (from Primary to University), which helpedselect the ages to which the modelling could be applied, helping also in developing the graphical model thatwould be the base for a future educational intervention
Bases fisiopatológicas y moleculares de la miocardiopatía arritmogénica en un modelo de ratón para placofilina-2 truncada
2016
La miocardiopatía arritmogénica (MCA) es una enfermedad cardíaca degenerativa caracterizada por el remplazo de tejido cardíaco por tejido fibro-adiposo, la progresiva dilatación y disfunción del ventrículo derecho y la aparición de arritmias. Aunque es considerada una enfermedad rara, la MCA es una importante causa de muerte súbita cardíaca (MSC) entre personas jóvenes (<35 años). Además, su incidencia es hasta 5 veces mayor entre atletas, lo que sugiere que el ejercicio intensivo es un factor de riesgo importante en el desarrollo de la enfermedad. La MCA es una patología familiar en, al menos, un 50% de los casos, lo que demuestra su carácter hereditario. De hecho, mutaciones en todos los …
