Effect of Intensity and Mode of Artificial Upwelling on Particle Flux and Carbon Export
2021
Reduction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions alone will not sufficiently restrict global warming and enable the 1.5°C goal of the Paris agreement to be met. To effectively counteract climate change, measures to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere are required. Artificial upwelling has been proposed as one such carbon dioxide removal technique. By fueling primary productivity in the surface ocean with nutrient-rich deep water, it could potentially enhance downward fluxes of particulate organic carbon (POC) and carbon sequestration. In this study we investigated the effect of different intensities of artificial upwelling combined with two upwelling modes (recurring additions vs. on…
Mass spectrometrical detection of polymer particles in capsule tissue surrounding joint endoprotheses of polyethyleneterephthalate
1982
Pyrolysis mass spectrometry of synthetic high polymers is described. The method is used to detect polymer wear particles in capsule tissue surrounding endoprotheses with polyethyleneterephthalate parts. An approximation of semi-quantitative determination of the polymer wear will be discussed.
The structure of gas-filled n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (BCA) polymer particles
1995
Abstract The structure of gas-filled poly-[n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate] (BCA) particles has been demonstrated by negative staining with uranyl acetate, platinum-carbon shadowing of air-dried material and thin sectioning of the aqueous suspension of BCA particles, embedded in water-soluble melamine resin. The polymer shell of the hollow particles possesses a globular outer surface and a smoother inner surface.
