Effects of enhancing UV-B irradiance on the behaviour, survival and metabolism of coregonid larvae
2004
FM Olli Ylönen tutki työssään mitä haittavaikutuksia lisääntyvällä UV-B säteilyn määrällä voi olla taloudellisesti tärkeimpien sisävesien kalalajiemme, siian ja muikun, kannalta. Haitallisen UV-B säteilyn määrä on lisääntynyt viimeisten vuosikymmenten aikana maan pinnalla ja veden alla, ja sen ennustetaan lisääntyvän vielä noin vuoteen 2050 asti.Tutkimukset osoittivat selvästi, että kalat pystyvät välttelemään korkeita UV-B säteilyn tasoja sekä laboratoriossa että järvessä. UV-B säteilyn vaikutukset muikun ja siian poikasiin ovat siis tulevaisuudessakin vähäiset.Ylösen tutkimukset keskittyivät poikasvaiheeseen, koska suojaavan väripigmentin puuttuessa tai sen ollessa vasta kehittymässä kala…
Comparative sensitivity of boreal fishes to UV-B and UV-induced phototoxicity of retene
2003
Maapallon elämää suojaava yläilmakehän otsonikerros on ohentunut ihmistoiminnan takia, minkä seurauksena maanpinnalle tulevan UV-B säteilyn määrä on lisääntynyt huomattavasti. Jani Häkkinen arvioi tutkimuksessaan, onko UV-B säteily nykyisillä tai ennustetuilla annostasoilla riskitekijä taloudellisesti ja ekologisesti tärkeimmille makeanveden kalalajeille (siika, muikku ja hauki) niiden herkimmissä kehitysvaiheissa heti kuoriutumisen jälkeen.Häkkinen tutki myös ensimmäistä kertaa pohjoisten alueiden kalalajeilla polyaromaattisten hiilivetyjen (PAH) UV-valossa aktivoituvaa myrkyllisyyttä eli valotoksisuutta, käyttäen malliaineena reteeniä (7-isopropyyli-1-metyylifenantreeni), jota esiintyy ru…
Pulicaria glutinosa Extract: A Toolbox to Synthesize Highly Reduced Graphene Oxide-Silver Nanocomposites
2015
A green, one-step approach for the preparation of graphene/Ag nanocomposites (PE-HRG-Ag) via simultaneous reduction of both graphene oxide (GRO) and silver ions using Pulicaria glutinosa plant extract (PE) as reducing agent is reported. The plant extract functionalizes the surfaces of highly reduced graphene oxide (HRG) which helps in conjugating the Ag NPs to HRG. Increasing amounts of Ag precursor enhanced the density of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) on HRG. The preparation of PE-HRG-Ag nanocomposite is monitored by using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). The as-prepared PE-HRG-Ag nanocomposities display excellent surfac…
RICONOSCIMENTO DELLA REALTA' ED ESISTENZA PERSONALE. LA CRITICA DEL "NUOVO REALISMO" AL PENSIERO DEBOLE E IL SUO SIGNIFICATO NELLA PROSPETTIVA DI UN'…
2014
This article aims to analyse critically the so-called “new realism” and to evaluate its pedagogical and educational consequences. By examining the objections made by this philosophy to the postmodernist culture, the author agrees on some aspects of its theory of knowledge. On the other hand, the article highlights the lack of adequate anthropology and possible consequences of the “new realism” on educational thought and practice. The proposal of an ontology of the person wellestablished in the tradition of phenomenological realism is seen as dialectics of the “new realism”.
Advances in Nanoliposomes Production for Ferrous Sulfate Delivery
2020
In this study, a continuous bench scale apparatus based on microfluidic fluid dynamic principles was used in the production of ferrous sulfate-nanoliposomes for pharmaceutical/nutraceutical applications, optimizing their formulation with respect to the products already present on the market. After an evaluation of its fluid dynamic nature, the simil-microfluidic (SMF) apparatus was first used to study the effects of the adopted process parameters on vesicles dimensional features by using ultrasonic energy to enhance liposomes homogenization. Subsequently, iron-nanoliposomes were produced at different weight ratios of ferrous sulfate to the total formulation components (0.06, 0.035, 0.02, an…
Development of microfluidics for sorting of carbon nanotubes
2018
Sorting of carbon nanotubes by their chirality is the current bottleneck in the way to their broad employment based on their exceptional electronic and optical properties. Despite the extensive effort, there is no known method, which would result in really pure chirality ensembles. Previously reported sorting protocols result in enrichment rather than in sorting, alter electronic structure, and suffer from low yield. This is mostly due to the statistical approach, where the nanotubes with mixed chiralities are treated as a set. In this thesis, we propose a new sorting technique based on nanotube-by-nanotube compartmelization, characterization, and sorting in a continuously running droplet-b…
Shoulder ultrasound: current concepts and future perspectives
2021
Ultrasonography is an established and effective imaging technique that can be used to evaluate articular and periarticular structures around the shoulder. It has been shown to be useful in a wide range of rotator cuff diseases (e.g. tendon tears, rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy and bursitis) as well as non-rotator cuff abnormalities (instability, synovial joint diseases and nerve entrapment syndrome). A scanning protocol is highly recommended to reduce the rate of operators’ errors by following a standardized scheme including a list of main structures. Shoulder ultrasound has several advantages: it is a relatively cheap and widely available technique, free from ionizing radiation, that c…
Numerical methods for a nonlinear impact model: A comparative study with closed-form corrections
2011
A physically based impact model-already known and exploited in the field of sound synthesis-is studied using both analytical tools and numerical simulations. It is shown that the Hamiltonian of a physical system composed of a mass impacting on a wall can be expressed analytically as a function of the mass velocity during contact. Moreover, an efficient and accurate approximation for the mass outbound velocity is presented, which allows to estimate the Hamiltonian at the end of the contact. Analytical results are then compared to numerical simulations obtained by discretizing the system with several numerical methods. It is shown that, for some regions of the parameter space, the trajectorie…
Realization of time-resolved two-vacuum-ultraviolet-photon ionization
2009
International audience; Ultrafast dynamics of excited molecules is studied through time-resolved two-vacuum-ultraviolet (vuv)- photon ionization using a nonlinear volume autocorrelator unit. The two-vuv-photon process is induced by the intense fifth harmonic radiation of a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser. In a proof-of-principle experiment, ultrafast dynamics of excited ethylene and oxygen molecules are investigated. Molecular decay times are deduced by comparing the experimental data with the results of a numerical model that accounts for the spatial and temporal characteristics of the harmonic field. The present experiments pave a convenient way for time domain investigations in the vuv-xuv s…
LIISA-ionilähteen vetyplasman VUV-spektrin ja H ̄ -ionisuihkun intensiteetin korrelaatio
2016
Tässä työssä tutkitaan negatiivisen vetyionilähteen plasman tuottaman ultraviolettisäteilyn ja ionilähteen tuottaman negatiivisen vetyionisuihkun intensiteetin välistä korrelaatiota. Työssä löydettiin korrelaatio VUV-spektrin tiettyjen aallonpituusalueiden intensiteettien välisen suhteen ja Faraday-kupilla mitatun suihkuintensiteetin välillä. Korrelaatio ei kuitenkaan ole yksiselitteinen ja pätee ainoastaan rajoitetussa painealueessa. Vetyplasman molekylaarisen emission Lyman-vyön spektrin ja suihkun korrelaation tarkastelusta huomattiin, että elektronisen perustilan vibronisten viritystilojen 10 ja 11 tuoton suhde korkeampien viritystilojen tuottoon on olennainen negatiivisten vetyionien t…
