Nanowire ordered Arrays for electrochemical sensing of H2O2
2016
In this work, we present the performance of nanostructured array of Cu for electrochemical sensors of hydrogen peroxide. Nanostructured sensors are obtained by template synthesis in commercial polycarbonate membranes. Arrays of Cu nanowires were fabricated through a displacement deposition reaction that permits to obtain nanostructures directly and without the use of an external power supply. To test the performance of nanostructured sensors, electrochemical experiments were carried out in an aqueous solution with different amounts of hydrogen peroxide. In order to obtain sensors with stable performance, we found that it is essential to increase wettability of the nanostructures through add…
Can differences in microbial abundances help explain enhanced N2O emissions in a permanent grassland under elevated atmospheric CO2?

Effects of reduced pH on shell integrity of a common whelk from a natural undersea CO2 vent community off Vulcano Island, Italy.
2014
Hexaplex trunculus is a widespread Mediterranean gastropod mollusc that plays a crucial role in benthic ecosystem dynamics. Individuals occur in shallow, sublittoral habitats near Vulcano Island, Italy, where an undersea CO2 vent provides a gradient of seawater acidification mimicing future predicted levels of ocean acidification. Individuals were collected from three sites with declining pH [ambient ( pH 8.18), medium (pH 8.05) and low (pH 7.49)]. Dissolution of shells was clearly evident at the medium (smoothing of outer shell ) and low (pitting and holes) pH sites. Scanning electron microcroscopy will provide a qualitative comparative assessment of micro-scale impacts of shell dissolutio…
Taking the acid test: Mediterranean limpets face up to climate change
2014
Impacts of climate change involve the interactions of multiple stressors on intertidal organisms, but rarely are the impacts of these stressors examined together. Many tests are also conducted in artificial, controlled laboratory conditions, without making use of natural opportunities to test performance of organisms under different environmental stressors. Given its small tidal range, the Mediterranean Sea provides such an opportunity, with a very fine scale environmental gradient and species living very close to each other over the tidal gradient. The vertical distribution of the limpets, Patella rustica and P. caerulea overlap in Palermo, Sicily, but despite this they have different ther…

pH intramucoso gástrico (pHi) y gradiente sistémico-regional de CO2 en el paciente pediátrico crítico. Monitorización contínua de la perfusión tisula…
2016
INTRODUCCIÓN Las situaciones de shock compensado identificadas por la presencia de acidosis en la mucosa intestinal mediante la monitorización del pHi (pH intramucoso), son extremadamente frecuentes en el paciente crítico. Estos episodios de isquemia intestinal se relacionan con el síndrome de disfunción multiorgánica (SDMO). El pHi puede medirse de forma indirecta utilizando una modificación de la fórmula de Henderson-Hasselbach, mediante tonometría. Esta técnica se fundamenta en 2 asunciones: 1. La PCO2, medida tonométricamente se aproxima a la de la mucosa intestinal, 2. La concentración de bicarbonato en la mucosa intestinal está en equilibrio con la del lecho capilar intestinal, y ésta…
Unusually large magmatic CO2 gas emissions prior to a basaltic paroxysm
2010
The low-intensity activity of basaltic volcanoes is occasionally interrupted by short-lived but energetic explosions which, whilst frequently observed, are amongst the most enigmatic volcanic events in Nature. The combination of poorly understood and deep, challenging to measure, source processes make such events currently impossible to forecast. Here we report increases in quiescent degassing CO2 emissions (>10,000 t/day) prior to a powerful explosive event on Stromboli volcano on 15 March 2007. We interpret such large CO2 flux as being sourced by passive gas leakage from a deeply (>4 km) stored magma, whose depressurization, possibly caused by the onset of an effusive eruption on 28 Febru…
Aircraft measurements of aerosol particles and trace gases over the Southern Baltic Sea during the BALTIC'15 campaign in 2015
2019
During the BALTIC'15 campaign, conducted in August 2015 over the Southern Baltic Sea, trace gasses (CO2/O3/NOy/SO2) and aerosol particles (number concentration of total/non-volatile/Aitken mode/ Accumulation mode/Coarse mode/refractory black carbon, aerosol extinction coefficient, mass concentration of refractory black carbon were measured). Observations were performed on board of the Alfred Wegener Institute research aircraft Polar 5 during 4 flights: - Scientific flight 1 (SF1) 26 August 2015 - Scientific flight 2 (SF2) 28 August 2015 - Scientific flight 3 (SF3) 28 August 2015 - Scientific flight 4 (SF4) 30 August 2015
