Abstract: The inhibitory effects a range of synthetic and natural antioxidants on lipid peroxidation of egg yolk and erythrocyte membranes induced by a free radical generator 2,2&prime, azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) was compared, with significant differences being found between both systems. When the protection by selected antioxidants against the effects of AAPH on erythrocytes (hemolysis, oxidation of hemoglobin and glutathione (GSH) and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)) was studied, most antioxidants were protective, but in some tests (oxidation of hemoglobin and GSH) some acted as prooxidants, inducing oxidation in the absence of AAPH and enhancing the AAPH-induced oxidation. These results demonstrate a diversified action of antioxidants in different systems and point to a need for careful extrapolation of any conclusions drawn from one parameter or experimental system to another.

Abstract: Phase-change materials, demonstrating a rapid switching between two distinct states with a sharp contrast in electrical, optical or magnetic properties, are vital for modern photonic and electronic devices. To date, this effect is observed in chalcogenide compounds based on Se, Te or both, and most recently in stoichiometric Sb2S3 composition. Yet, to achieve best integrability into modern photonics and electronics, the mixed S/Se/Te phase change medium is needed, which would allow a wide tuning range for such important physical properties as vitreous phase stability, radiation and photo-sensitivity, optical gap, electrical and thermal conductivity, non-linear optical effects, as well as the possibility of structural modification at nanoscale. In this work, a thermally-induced high-to-low resistivity switching below 200 °C is demonstrated in Sb-rich equichalcogenides (containing S, Se and Te in equal proportions). The nanoscale mechanism is associated with interchange between tetrahedral and octahedral coordination of Ge and Sb atoms, substitution of Te in the nearest Ge environment by S or Se, and Sb–Ge/Sb bonds formation upon further annealing. The material can be integrated into chalcogenide-based multifunctional platforms, neuromorphic computational systems, photonic devices and sensors.

Abstract: International audience; Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with an impaired immune system that severely affects the spinal cord and brain, and which is marked by progressive inflammatory demyelination. Patients with MS may benefit from exercise training as a suggested course of treatment. The most commonly used animal models of studies on MS are experimental autoimmune/allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) models. The present review intends to concisely discuss the interventions using EAE models to understand the effectiveness of exercise as treatment for MS patients and thereby provide clear perspective for future research and MS management. For the present literature review, relevant published articles on EAE animal models that reported the impacts of exercise on MS, were extracted from various databases. Existing literature support the concept that an exercise regimen can reduce the severity of some of the clinical manifestations of EAE, including neurological signs, motor function, pain, and cognitive deficits. Further results demonstrate the mechanisms of EAE suppression with information relating to the immune system, demyelination, regeneration, and exercise in EAE. The role for neurotrophic factors has also been investigated. Analyzing the existing reports, this literature review infers that EAE is a suitable animal model that can help researchers develop further understanding and treatments for MS. Besides, findings from previous animal studies supports the contention that exercise assists in ameliorating MS progression.

Abstract: International audience; Species turnover is ubiquitous. However, it remains unknown whether certain types of species are consistently gained or lost across different habitats. Here, we analysed the trajectories of 1827 plant species over time intervals of up to 78 years at 141 sites across mountain summits, forests, and lowland grasslands in Europe. We found, albeit with relatively small effect sizes, displacements of smaller- by larger-ranged species across habitats. Communities shifted in parallel towards more nutrient-demanding species, with species from nutrient-rich habitats having larger ranges. Because these species are typically strong competitors, declines of smaller-ranged species could reflect not only abiotic drivers of global change, but also biotic pressure from increased competition. The ubiquitous component of turnover based on species range size we found here may partially reconcile findings of no net loss in local diversity with global species loss, and link community-scale turnover to macroecological processes such as biotic homogenisation.

Abstract: International audience; The efficacy of weight loss interventions might be affected by the metabolic profile of adolescents with obesity. In this study, we hypothesized that the initial diagnosis of the MS, or its persistence after an intervention, will not reduce the efficacy of a 16-week multidisciplinary weight loss program. Ninety two adolescents (12-15 years; 62 girls) with obesity completed baseline anthropometric and body composition evaluation (DXA). Lipid profile, insulinemia, glycaemia and blood pressure were measured and metabolic syndrome (MS) diagnosed. The adolescents then followed a 4-month inpatient multidisciplinary weight management program. All measurements were performed before (T0) and after 4 months of intervention (T1). Body weight, body mass index (BMI) and percentage of fat mass (%FM) decreased significantly between T0 and T1 (P < .001), with no difference in fat-free mass (kg). All metabolic variables (except blood pressure) were improved. 47.6% of the whole sample presented with MS at baseline against 35.7% at T1. Body weight (P = 0.006), BMI (P = 0.0261), %FM (P = 0.0211), hip circumference (= 0.0131), BMI percentile (P = 0.0319), and diastolic blood pressure (P = 0.0365) showed a time x group interaction and their deltas (variations between T0 and T1) were significantly different between adolescents with and without MS at baseline. There was no significant difference between adolescents with persistent and nonpersistent MS except for Delta BMI percentile that deceased significantly more in the non persistent group (P = 0.0115). According to our results, the efficacy of weight loss interventions is not reduced in adolescents initially diagnosed with MS or different between those who present a persistent or nonpersistent MS after the intervention.

Abstract: International audience; Thermosyphons are heat transfer devices characterized by high efficiency due to simultaneous phase changes occurring in the evaporation-condensation cycle of working fluid. One of the most promising solutions to enhance their heat transfer capacity of the device is the use of nanofluids – suspensions of particles with at least one dimension below 100 nm. It was determined that nanofluid does not influence the work of thermosyphons condenser section and the focus should be put on the boiling process in the evaporator section. During boiling, nanoparticles tend to deposit on the heater’s surface, what alters characteristics of this surface and near surface hydrodynamics. This changes the appearance of nanofluid, but the precise effect on how the deposition of particles affects the properties of nanofluid is unknown. Changes in surface tension and wettability affect boiling regimes (e.g. reduced surface tension reduces the size of departing bubbles and inhibits geysering), and efficiency of heat transfer through the device. Understanding of those parameters is crucial for the development of appropriate models describing heat transfer in thermosyphon working with nanofluids. The main goal of this study is to determine surface tension and contact angle of nanofluids based on silica nanoparticles and nano-sized graphene oxide flakes before and after the experimental boiling cycle in the thermosyphon. Results show that, in comparison with water, silica nanofluid (2 vol.%) is characterized by lower surface tension and contact angles on both analysed surfaces. After-use silica nanofluid exhibited noticeably higher averaged surface tension and smaller contact angles in comparison to the fresh working medium. The change was most likely due to the decreased concentration caused by the deposition of nanoparticles during the thermosyphon operation. Still, the differences between before-use and after-use samples were smaller than the measurement uncertainties. Before-use graphene oxide nanofluid already showed surface tension and contact angle similar to water due to low concentration of graphene flakes (0.1 g/L). Consequently, the properties of after-use graphene oxide fluid were also not much different from water. Additional measurements of surface tension for graphene oxide nanofluid with and without addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate surfactant allowed to differentiate the effects caused by graphene flakes and surfactant. The surfactant reduced the surface tension of the nanofluid, but the change was smaller than in case of surfactant addition to pure water.

Abstract: This paper presents the preparation and thermal/physical characterization of phase change materials (PCMs) based on poly(ethylene glycol) 400 g&middot, mol&minus, 1 and nano-enhanced by either carbon black (CB), a raw graphite/diamond nanomixture (G/D-r), a purified graphite/diamond nanomixture (G/D-p) or nano-Diamond nanopowders with purity grades of 87% or 97% (nD87 and nD97, respectively). Differential scanning calorimetry and oscillatory rheology experiments were used to provide an insight into the thermal and mechanical changes taking place during solid-liquid phase transitions of the carbon-based suspensions. PEG400-based samples loaded with 1.0 wt.% of raw graphite/diamond nanomixture (G/D-r) exhibited the lowest sub-cooling effect (with a reduction of ~2 K regarding neat PEG400). The influences that the type of carbon-based nanoadditive and nanoparticle loading (0.50 and 1.0 wt.%) have on dynamic viscosity, thermal conductivity, density and surface tension were also investigated in the temperature range from 288 to 318 K. Non-linear rheological experiments showed that all dispersions exhibited a non-Newtonian pseudo-plastic behavior, which was more noticeable in the case of carbon black nanofluids at low shear rates. The highest enhancements in thermal conductivity were observed for graphite/diamond nanomixtures (3.3&ndash, 3.6%), while nano-diamond suspensions showed the largest modifications in density (0.64&ndash, 0.66%). Reductions in surface tension were measured for the two nano-diamond nanopowders (nD87 and nD97), while slight increases (within experimental uncertainties) were observed for dispersions prepared using the other three carbon-based nanopowders. Finally, a good agreement was observed between the experimental surface tension measurements performed using a Du No&uuml, y ring tensiometer and a drop-shape analyzer.

Abstract: International audience; This paper focuses on an experimental study of the surface tension of nanofluids based on ethylene glycol with various types of nitride nanoparticles. Samples were prepared using a two-step method with mass content between 1 and 5% of particles. Nanofluids contain three types of nitride nanoparticles: aluminum nitride, silicon nitride and titanium nitride with various particle average sizes. Surface tension of nanofluids was investigated at a constant temperature of 298.15 K with two different techniques: du Noüy ring method and pendant drop method. It is presented that experimental values obtained with both methods are in good agreement with each other. Also, results obtained during this study show that the addition of this type of nanoparticles does not have a significant impact on the surface tension of base fluid for the concentrations and diameters of nitride nanoparticles considered.

Abstract: У статті описано цікавий випадок підсилення прямокутного залізобетонного резервуару. Через помилки в розрахунку армування, довгі стіни резервуара серйозно тріснули і починали протікати під час випробування водою. Як альтернатива повному демонтажу резервуара, було розроблено та застосовано простий та ефективний метод посилення. Оскільки основні дефекти виникли в довгих стінах конструкції, система тяжів була спроектована і побудована. Група точно розташованих тяжів, закріплених на зовнішніх поверхнях стінок, зменшила напруження в цих стінах до рівня, який може сприймати конструкція з існуючим армуванням. Тяжі та їх кріплення були зроблені з нержавіючої сталі, і під час проектування особливу увагу було приділено фактичному технічному стану конструкції резервуара та його навколишнім умовам. Успішне підсилення дає резервуару змогу експлуатуватися лише з невеликою затримкою часу без видимих проблем. The paper describe an interesting case of rectangular reinforced concrete tank strengthening. Due to errors in reinforcement design, the long walls of the tank were seriously cracked and starts to leak during the water test. As alternative to total tank demolition, a simple and effective strengthening method was developed and applied. Because the basic defects occurred in long walls of structure, the tie system was designed and constructed. The group of precisely located bar ties anchored on the strengthened walls outer surfaces reduced the stresses in these walls to the level, which could be carried by structure with existing reinforcement. The ties and their anchorages were made of stainless steel, and during design special attention was paid to actual technical state of the tank structure and its environmental conditions. The successful strengthening allow the tank to start the operation with only small time delay and any problems actually noticed

Abstract: During the conference entitled Spatial Econometrics and Regional Economic Analyses, which took place in Lodz in 2014, there was a proposition to introduce the spatial coherence property into the Ward method, which is applied to group administrative units [1]. At each stage of agglomeration in the modified Ward method, there are included only those aggregates which are adjacent to each other. This work is an extension of this concept based upon other methods of hierarchical clustering, in particular the single and complete linkage method. The study highlighted the benefits of clustering methods with the coherence property, also emphasizing the limitations of these procedures. First of all, the introduction of the restricting condition during the procedure of the hierarchical clustering reduces the homogeneity of isolated clusters. Spatial constraints may also lead to a situation where the distance between the clusters linked at a later stage is smaller than at an earlier stage (graphically, we can talk about the dendrogram “backflow”). The method of complete linkage is free of these aberration where the distance between the clusters is defined as the maximum distance between their elements. The modified clustering algorithm was implemented as an extension of STATISTICA software. Examples of an application of the hierarchical clustering method with the coherence concern sector changes in the European regional space. The aim of the analysis was to isolate spatially coherent areas that demonstrate a similar direction and intensity of structural change in selected areas of the labour market. Na konferencji „Ekonometria przestrzenna i regionalne analizy ekonomiczne”, która odbyła się w Łodzi w 2014 roku, zaproponowano wprowadzenie warunku spójności przestrzennej do metody Warda, stosowanej do grupowania jednostek administracyjnych. Na każdym etapie aglomeracji w zmodyfikowanej metodzie Warda uwzględniane są tylko te skupienia, które ze sobą sąsiadują. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi rozszerzenie tej koncepcji na inne metody grupowania hierarchicznego, w szczególności metodę prostych i zupełnych połączeń. Zwrócono uwagę na korzyści płynące z zastosowania metody grupowania z warunkiem spójności, akcentując jednak także pewne ograniczenia tych procedur. Wprowadzenie warunku ograniczającego podczas procedury grupowania hierarchicznego powoduje przede wszystkim zmniejszenie jednorodności wyodrębnianych skupień. Ograniczenia przestrzenne mogą też prowadzić do sytuacji, kiedy odległość między skupieniami łączonymi na późniejszym etapie jest mniejsza niż na etapie wcześniejszym (można tu mówić o graficznym „cofaniu się” dendrogramu). Od tej aberracji wolna jest metoda zupełnych połączeń, gdzie odległość między skupieniami jest wyznaczana jako maksimum odległości między ich elementami. Zmodyfikowany algorytm grupowania zaimplementowano jako rozszerzenie programu STATISTICA. Przykłady zastosowania metod grupowania hierarchicznego z warunkiem spójności dotyczą europejskiej przestrzeni regionalnej (w układzie NUTS–2) w latach poprzedzających i następujących po kryzysie finansowym 2008 roku. Celem analiz było wyodrębnienie spójnych przestrzennie obszarów, które charakteryzowałyby się podobną wrażliwością na zjawiska kryzysowe w obszarze rynku pracy.

Abstract: Marie Vaugoyeau [et al.], The increase in size of human populations in urban and agricultural areas has resulted in considerable habitat conversion globally. Such anthropogenic areas have specific environmental characteristics, which influence the physiology, life history, and population dynamics of plants and animals. For example, the date of bud burst is advanced in urban compared to nearby natural areas. In some birds, breeding success is determined by synchrony between timing of breeding and peak food abundance. Pertinently, caterpillars are an important food source for the nestlings of many bird species, and their abundance is influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and date of bud burst. Higher temperatures and advanced date of bud burst in urban areas could advance peak caterpillar abundance and thus affect breeding phenology of birds. In order to test whether laying date advance and clutch sizes decrease with the intensity of urbanization, we analyzed the timing of breeding and clutch size in relation to intensity of urbanization as a measure of human impact in 199 nest box plots across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East (i.e., the Western Palearctic) for four species of hole-nesters: blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus), great tits (Parus major), collared flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis), and pied flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca). Meanwhile, we estimated the intensity of urbanization as the density of buildings surrounding study plots measured on orthophotographs. For the four study species, the intensity of urbanization was not correlated with laying date. Clutch size in blue and great tits does not seem affected by the intensity of urbanization, while in collared and pied flycatchers it decreased with increasing intensity of urbanization. This is the first large-scale study showing a species-specific major correlation between intensity of urbanization and the ecology of breeding. The underlying mechanisms for the relationships between life history and urbanization remain to be determined. We propose that effects of food abundance or quality, temperature, noise, pollution, or disturbance by humans may on their own or in combination affect laying date and/or clutch size., E.

Abstract: Background Deficient nucleotide excision repair (NER) activity causes a variety of autosomal recessive diseases including xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) a disorder which pre-disposes to skin cancer, and the severe multisystem condition known as Cockayne syndrome (CS). In view of the clinical overlap between NER-related disorders, as well as the existence of multiple phenotypes and the numerous genes involved, we developed a new diagnostic approach based on the enrichment of 16 NER-related genes by multiplex amplification coupled with next-generation sequencing (NGS). Methods Our test cohort consisted of 11 DNA samples, all with known mutations and/or non pathogenic SNPs in two of the tested genes. We then used the same technique to analyse samples from a prospective cohort of 40 patients. Multiplex amplification and sequencing were performed using AmpliSeq protocol on the Ion Torrent PGM (Life Technologies). Results We identified causative mutations in 17 out of the 40 patients (43 %). Four patients showed biallelic mutations in the ERCC6(CSB) gene, five in the ERCC8(CSA) gene: most of them had classical CS features but some had very mild and incomplete phenotypes. A small cohort of 4 unrelated classic XP patients from the Basque country (Northern Spain) revealed a common splicing mutation in POLH (XP-variant), demonstrating a new founder effect in this population. Interestingly, our results also found ERCC2(XPD), ERCC3(XPB) or ERCC5(XPG) mutations in two cases of UV-sensitive syndrome and in two cases with mixed XP/CS phenotypes. Conclusions Our study confirms that NGS is an efficient technique for the analysis of NER-related disorders on a molecular level. It is particularly useful for phenotypes with combined features or unusually mild symptoms. Targeted NGS used in conjunction with DNA repair functional tests and precise clinical evaluation permits rapid and cost-effective diagnosis in patients with NER-defects.

Abstract: International audience; By exploring the positron-electron annihilation technique in positron lifetime measuring mode, it is shown that principal rare-earth (RE) induced structural reconfiguration in Ga-codoped TAS-235 glass (that is a glassy Te20As29Ga1Se50 alloy) is related to occupation of intrinsic free-volume voids by embedded RE ions tightly connected with Ga-based tetrahedrons via strong covalent RE-Se/Te-Ga links. A gradual decrease in the intensity of the second component of two-term decomposed lifetime spectra of annihilating positrons accompanied with a detectable increase in the defect-related positron lifetime (thus inducing essentially a depressed rate in positron trapping) is evidenced by the example of Pr3+ ions added homogeneously to Te20As29Ga1Se50 glass in the amount of 500 ppmw. Observed changes in positron lifetime spectra are explained in terms of the competitive contribution of different occupancy positions in Ga-codoped glass available for RE ions and trapped positrons.

Abstract: International audience; Different stages of intrinsic nanostructurization related to evolution of free-volume voids, including phase separation, crystalline nuclei precipitation, and growth, were studied in glassy As2Se3 doped with Ga up to 5 at. %, using complementary techniques of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. Positron lifetime spectra reconstructed in terms of a two-state trapping model testified in favor of a native void structure of g-As2Se3 modified by Ga additions. Under small Ga content (below 3 at. %), the positron trapping in glassy alloys was dominated by voids associated with bond-free solid angles of bridging As2Se4/2 units. This void agglomeration trend was changed on fragmentation with further Ga doping due to crystalline Ga2Se3 nuclei precipitation and growth, these changes being activated by employing free volume from just attached As-rich glassy matrix with higher content of As2Se4/2 clusters. Respectively, the positron trapping on free-volume voids related to pyramidal AsSe3/2 units (like in parent As2Se3 glass) was in obvious preference in such glassy crystalline alloys

Abstract: An in-depth analysis of the electro-optical and light emissive properties was carried out with a new fused heteroacene, the bis [(1,2)(5,6)] indoloanthracene. The compound was synthesized in a straightforward bidirectional manner from 1,4-dibromo-2,5-diodobenzene utilizing a reaction cascade of isomerisation and cyclisation sequences. Bis-[(1,2)(5,6)] indoloanthracene exhibits bright luminescence with high quantum yield in solution as well as in the solid state. By using this novel semiconductor as active layer, an efficient OLED has been fabricated for which its emission pattern resembles at least two emitters in a single emissive region originated from the same molecule. One has its origin from the single molecule and is similar to the luminescence spectra in solution, whereas the other functions through the formation of aggregates being similar with the emission pattern found with crystals of bis-[(1,2)(5,6)]indoloanthracene. As a result bright sky-blue OLEDs with very high luminance exceeding 10000 cd/m2 were obtained. Such color pattern and performance has not previously been observed with low molecular weight, electron-rich fused polycyclic aromatic compounds and indicate a promising new class of materials for development.

Abstract: International audience; Diatoms are considered unicellular eukaryotic organisms exclusively depositing biogenic silica. Heretofore there has been no report of calcification by these algae. Here it is shown that calcium carbonate within the stalks of Didymosphenia geminata, a nuisance species that has prolifically colonized streams and rivers globally, is biogenic in origin and occurs as a network of calcite nanofibers. The nanofibrous framework in the mineralized polysaccharide matrix imparts mechanical support to the stalks, providing stability in variable flow conditions. The results demonstrate that D. geminata possesses cellular and periplasmic carbonic‐anhydrases that contribute to carbon fixation and biomineralization, respectively. The activity of external carbonic‐anhydrase was more than 50% of the total activity, which points to its role in anchoring this bioeroding diatom on hard surfaces. The first evidence of multiphase biomineralization by diatoms that deposit both biogenic silica and crystalline biogenic calcite which are imparting distinct functional advantage to the organism is provided.

Abstract: In order to characterize magnetic-field (B) tunable THz plasmonic detectors, spectroscopy experiments were carried out at liquid helium temperatures and high magnetic fields on devices fabricated on a high electron mobility GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. The samples were either gated (the gate of a meander shape) or ungated. Spectra of a photovoltage generated by THz radiation were obtained as a function of B at a fixed THz excitation from a THz laser or as a function of THz photon frequency at a fixed B with a Fourier spectrometer. In the first type of measurements, the wave vector of magnetoplasmons excited was defined by geometrical features of samples. It was also found that the magnetoplasmon spectrum depended on the gate geometry which gives an additional parameter to control plasma excitations in THz detectors. Fourier spectra showed a strong dependence of the cyclotron resonance amplitude on the conduction-band electron filling factor which was explained within a model of the electron gas heating with the THz radiation. The study allows to define both the advantages and limitations of plasmonic devices based on high-mobility GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures for THz detection at low temperatures and high magnetic fields., 8 pages, 11 figures

Abstract: Møller, A.P. [et al.], Secondary hole-nesting birds that do not construct nest holes themselves and hence regularly breed in nest boxes constitute important model systems for field studies in many biological disciplines with hundreds of scientists and amateurs involved. Those research groups are spread over wide geographic areas that experience considerable variation in environmental conditions, and researchers provide nest boxes of varying designs that may inadvertently introduce spatial and temporal variation in reproductive parameters. We quantified the relationship between mean clutch size and nest box size and material after controlling for a range of environmental variables in four of the most widely used model species in the Western Palaearctic: great tit Parus major, blue tit Cyanistes caeruleus, pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca and collared flycatcher F. albicollis from 365 populations and 79 610 clutches. Nest floor area and nest box material varied non-randomly across latitudes and longitudes, showing that scientists did not adopt a random box design. Clutch size increased with nest floor area in great tits, but not in blue tits and flycatchers. Clutch size of blue tits was larger in wooden than in concrete nest boxes. These findings demonstrate that the size of nest boxes and material used to construct nest boxes can differentially affect clutch size in different species. The findings also suggest that the nest box design may affect not only focal species, but also indirectly other species through the effects of nest box design on productivity and therefore potentially population density and hence interspecific competition. © 2014 The Authors.

Abstract: The creation of a common EU energy market is a challenge which the governments of EU countries and EU institutions have to meet. The difficulties experienced so far in the scope of implementation of EU directives concerning the liberalisation of the energy market confirm that member states trying to reach the EU goals are simultaneously attempting to protect the interests of their own energy companies.

Abstract: International audience; The development of sensor microsystems, based on the biological recognition of analytes by sensitive molecules, requires numerical tools for the evaluation of sensor analytical characteristics. A digital platform, based on the site-binding model and Mott-Schottky equation, has been developed and used to estimate the responses of semiconductor-based capacitance biosensors for formaldehyde and methylamine determination. It has been demonstrated that the classical site-binding model cannot be applied for the analysis of the sensor behaviour and should be adjusted taking into account the effect of buffer type and its concentration and type as well as membrane composition on the capacitance biosensor response.

Abstract: Low-frequency noise spectroscopy has been used to examine noise properties of Pb/Cd-free RuO2- and CaRuO3-based thick films screen printed on alumina substrates. Experiments were performed in the temperature range 77–300 K and the frequency range 0.5–5000 Hz with multiterminal devices. The measured noise has been recognized as resistance noise that consists of background 1/f noise and components generated by several thermally activated noise sources (TANSs) of different activation energies. The total noise has been composed of the contributions generated in the resistive layer and in the resistive/conductive layers interface. These noise sources are non-uniformly distributed in the resistor volume. Noise intensity of new-resistive layers has been described by the noise parameter C bulk. Pb/Cd-free layers turned out to be noisier than their Pb-containing counterparts; however, the removal of Pb and Cd from resistive composition is hardly responsible for the increase in the noise. In the case of RuO2 layers noise increases most likely due to larger grain size of RuO2 powder used to prepare resistive pastes. Information on the quality of the resistive-to-conductive layers interface occurred to be stored in the values of noise parameter C int. Pb/Cd-free RuO2-based resistive pastes form well-behaved interfaces with various Ag-based conductive pastes. In contrast, CaRuO3-based paste forms bad contacts with AgPd terminations because the density of TANSs increases in the interface area.

46. Dependences between the age and the level of bioaccumulation of heavy metals in tissues and the chemical composition of wild boars' meat

Author: Rudy, Mariusz, Agricultural Processing and Science of Commodities, and Rzeszow University
Subjects: Life Sciences
Abstract: International audience; The purpose of the conducted tests was to determine the level of accumulation of selected heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg, As) in tissues of wild boars. The tested animals were divided into 3 age groups, which allowed the analysis of statistical-mathematical dependences between the age of animals and contamination of their tissues. The research material for determining the content of heavy metals was taken from the longissimus muscle of back, and samples of liver from the tail lobe. It was stated that accumulation of lead and cadmium in muscles and in liver increased together with the age of wild boars. However, most frequently the statistically essential differences were found only between the group of the youngest and oldest animals. Moreover in no single case was exceeded the maximum permissible level in meat, both for the contents of lead, cadmium as well as mercury. In the tested samples of tissues of wild boars there were also not stated the presence of arsenic above 0.001 mg/kg. In the group of animals above 3 years in the case of two samples the maximum permissible level of cadmium in liver (0.5 mg/kg) was exceeded.

Abstract: International audience; It is shown that, for mineral soils, it is not the total amount of organic carbon (or organic matter) that controls soil physical behaviour but the amount of complexed organic carbon (COC). We assume that this complex is formed by the association of unit mass (i.e. 1 g) of organic carbon with n grams of clay. Analysis of data from two French and two Polish databases shows that, for these soils, n = 10. A consequence of this is that in soils with small contents of organic carbon (OC), such as arable soils, COC is proportional to OC. However, in soils with large contents of organic carbon, such as pasture soils, COC is proportional to the clay content. This explains why we find that soil bulk density is significantly correlated with OC in French arable soils but with the clay content in French pasture soils. The use of COC instead of OC enables the arable and pasture soils to be considered on the same scale. Water retention data were fitted to a double-exponential equation which allows both the matrix and structural porosities to be estimated. It is shown that in soils with low contents of organic carbon, the carbon content is positively correlated with the matrix porosity. In contrast, in soils with high contents of organic carbon, the matrix porosity is constant at its maximum value and the structural porosity is not significantly correlated with either the total organic carbon or the non-complexed organic carbon (NCOC). It is suggested that the complexed organic carbon can be considered as being sequestered. The soil clay content can similarly be partitioned between clay that is complexed with organic carbon and clay that is not complexed. It is shown that non-complexed clay is more easily dispersed in water than clay that is complexed with organic carbon. These findings indicate how improved pedo-transfer functions for the prediction of soil physical properties may be produced. Such functions need to use the values of complexed and non-complexed organic carbon and clay which must be determined by algorithms. The values produced by the algorithms may then be used in the improved pedo-transfer functions.

Abstract: The aim of this research was to determine in 2006 and 2007 the effects of different tillage systems on the soil physical properties: bulk density, water content and stability. Analyses of physical properties of soil were performed on the long-term field experiment at the IUNG-PIB Experimental Station in Grabow (Mazowieckie voivodeship) on a heavy loamy sand and oil a private farm in Rogow (Lublin voivodeship) on a silt learn soil. Winter wheat was grown in traditional and reduced tillage systems: 1) traditional tillage (TT) with surface mulching (chopped wheat straw) based on rnouldboard ploughing (to 25 cm depth) and traditional soil management equipment, and 2) reduced tillage (RT) with surface mulching (chopped wheat straw) based on soil crushing-loosening equipment and a rigid-tine cultivator (to 10 cm depth). Soil physical properties were measured on samples collected from the field throughout the growing season. These included: particle size distribution (hydrometer method), soil water content and bulk density measured using 100 cm(3) cylinder samples (after drying at 105 degrees C for 48 h). For the above, four replicates were collected from each of the following depths: 2-8, 13-18, 28-33, 47-53 and 67-73 cm. Soil stability was measured with a turbidimetric method using samples from 5-10, 15-20 and 30-35 cm depths. Soil stability was measured in terms of the content of readily-dispersible clay (RDC) in the soil samples. RDC was measured using a turbidimeter. Ten replicates were used for each soil and depth at each place. The effect of the tillage system on the values of the physical properties was significant at both sites. Reduced tillage resulted in increased water content throughout the whole soil profile at Rogow. However, at Grabow, this effect was found only at the top depth. Also reduced tillage increased bulk density in both soils, especially in the 2-8 and 13-18 cm depth layers in comparison with traditional tillage. Reduced tillage reduced the amount of RDC and therefore increased soil stability, especially in the top layer (5-10 cm) in comparison with traditional tillage. The results showed that the reduced tillage system created a more-friendly environment for soil physical properties - particularly soil stability than the conventional system.

Abstract: A double-exponential water retention equation with 5 adjustable parameters is introduced in order to fill the need for a user-friendly equation in which all the terms have a distinct physical meaning. It is compared with the van Genuchten [van Genuchten, M.Th., 1980. A closed-form equation for predicting the hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils. Soil Sci. Soc. Am. J. 44, 892–898] equation in its 3-, 4- and 5-parameter forms. The double-exponential equation provided good fits to water retention data obtained by immiscible-displacement experiments on samples collected from 42 Polish soil horizons. The double-exponential equation gives positive values for the residual water contents of the soils as expected after immiscible displacement. It is proposed that the two exponential terms relate to the matrix and structural pore spaces in the soil. It is explained how the measures of matrix and structural pore space obtained here relate to porosity measurements made on soil samples of different sizes by French soil scientists. With the use of water retention measurements made on large numbers of soil samples collected from two experimental fields in Poland, the double-exponential water retention equation is used to show how soil bulk density increases at the expense of structural porosity, whereas the matrix porosity is not significantly affected. For each soil, there is a critical bulk density at which the structural porosity is zero. At this critical bulk density, mechanical and transport properties of soil may be expected to reach limiting values. Only the 3-parameter form of the van Genuchten equation gave stable, meaningful fitting parameters. The 4- and 5-parameter versions were over parameterised, did not always converge to a solution and produced parameter values that were too strongly interdependent to be inferentially useful. The Akaike Information Criterion is used to show that the proposed double exponential equation is better than the 3-parameter van Genuchten equation in the sense of having a smaller information loss relative to “reality” (i.e. the experimental data).
