Late Quaternary Variations in the South American Monsoon System as Inferred by Speleothems—New Perspectives using the SISAL Database
2019
Here we present an overview of speleothem δ18O records from South America, most of which are available in the Speleothem Isotopes Synthesis and Analysis (SISAL_v1) database. South American tropical and subtropical speleothem δ18O time series are primarily interpreted to reflect changes in precipitation amount, the amount effect, and consequently history of convection intensity variability of convergence zones such as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and the South America Monsoon System (SAMS). We investigate past hydroclimate scenarios in South America related to the South American Monsoon System in three different time periods: Late Pleistocene, Holocene, and the last tw…
The first archaeometric characterization of obsidian artifacts from the archaeological site of Samshvilde (South Georgia, Caucasus)
2019
This paper presents the first results about the provenance of obsidian fragments recovered in the archaeological site of Samshvilde (South Georgia, Caucasus) with the aim to obtain knowledge related to the network distribution and procurement of obsidian in Georgia. The geochemical characterization of thirty archaeological finds was obtained by the LA-ICP-MS method, an almost non-destructive technique capable of chemically characterizing the volcanic glass. A comparison of geochemical results obtained on both archaeological artefacts and geological samples collected from Chikiani outcrop in Georgia, together with literature data of southern Caucasus and eastern Turkey, allowed us to define …
Ceramics from Samshvilde (Georgia): A pilot archaeometric study
2020
Abstract This archaeometric study deals with seven samples of prehistoric pottery and, for the first time in Georgian studies, thirteen samples of glazed medieval pottery. All specimens were collected at Samshvilde, the most remarkable archaeological complex in southern Georgia and believed to represent locally-manufactured products. Two additional samples of raw materials composed of clay, silt, and sand were collected near the site and used to compare composition. Several analytical techniques were applied: Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). The results allowed to build a c…
Projekts: Bērnu un jauniešu centrs "SAMSON"
2016
Maģistra darba mērķis ir SIA „SAMSON” - bērnu un jauniešu centra - dibināšana. Bērnu centrs sniegs tādus sporta pakalpojumus kā karatē un vispārattīstoša vingrošana. Latvijā ir daudz sporta uzņēmumu, kas darbojas šajā jomā, tomēr autore nolēma dibināt sporta klubu Imantas rajonā, kur šobrīd jau eksistē vairāki sporta klubi, bet tie piedāvā tikai vienu sporta pakalpojuma veidu. Līdz ar to jaunam, topošam uzņēmumam SIA „SAMSON” - bērnu un jauniešu centram- būs mazāka konkurence un vairāk iespēju popularizēt un attīstīt sporta jomu noteiktā rajonā. Mūsdienās sabiedrība sāk vairāk pievērst uzmanību savam fiziskajam stāvoklim, rūpējas par veselības uzlabošanu. Vecāki arī domā par bērnu veselību …
Brief an Garlieb H. Merkel
1798
Ms. 930a, Nr. 10, Bl. 26r-28v Schmidt-Phiseldeck, Konrad von. Brief an Garlieb H. Merkel, Kopenhagen, am 6. März 1798 Autora rokraksts / Autograph, vācu un latīņu val. / Deutsch und Latein [6] lpp. / S. Attēlu numuri / Bildnummern: 930a-010-1 – 930a-010-6 Der Verfasser äußert zum Beginn seines Briefes erneut sein Bedauern über die räumliche Trennung und wünscht sich, nach Italien zu reisen. Weimar, wo Merkel zum gegebenen Zeitpunkt wahrscheinlich weilte, glorifiziert Schmidt-Phiseldeck mit der Bezeichnung als „Weimar-Athen“. Gleichzeitig drückt der Verfasser seine Enttäuschung über die Politik Frankreichs bezüglich der Schweiz aus, erkennt aber in der Neutralität seiner neuen Heimat Dänemar…
New insights into the composition of historical remedies and pharmaceutical formulations: the identification of natural resins and balsams by gas chr…
2020
AbstractThe present paper reports one of the first studies on the identification of natural resins and balsams in modern era drug formulations. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was applied to investigate the composition of ancient remedies and pharmaceutical formulations coming from the Spezieria di Santa Maria della Scala in Rome, founded at the end of the seventeenth century by the Discalced Carmelites. The obtained results highlight the presence of complex mixtures containing resinaceous and lipidic-based compounds. Thanks to the detection of characteristic markers, it was possible to identify several natural resins, such as guaiacum resin, ladano resin and scamm…
Step-by-step diagnosis and management of the nocebo/drucebo effect in statin-associated muscle symptoms patients: a position paper from the Internati…
2022
Statin intolerance is a clinical syndrome whereby adverse effects (AEs) associated with statin therapy [most commonly statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS)] result in the discontinuation of therapy and consequently increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, complete statin intolerance occurs in only a small minority of treated patients (estimated prevalence of only 3-5%). Many perceived AEs are misattributed (e.g. physical musculoskeletal injury and inflammatory myopathies), and subjective symptoms occur as a result of the fact that patients expect them to do so when taking medicines (the nocebo/drucebo effect)-what might be truth even for over 50% of all patients wit…
Bioinspired catechol-terminated self-assembled monolayers with enhanced adhesion properties
2013
The role of the catechol moiety in the adhesive properties of mussel proteins and related synthetic materials has been extensively studied in the last years but still remains elusive. Here, a simplified model approach is presented based on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of upward-facing catechols thiol-bound to epitaxial gold substrates. The orientation of the catechol moieties is confirmed by spectroscopy, which also showed lack of significant amounts of interfering o-quinones. Local force-distance curves on the SAM measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) shows an average adhesion force of 45 nN, stronger than that of a reference polydopamine coating, along with higher reproducibility …
