In 2006 the PVLAS collaboration reported observation of an optical rotation generated in vacuum by a magnetic field. To further check against possible instrumental artifacts, several upgrades to apparatus have been made during past year. Two data taking runs, at wavelength 1064 nm, performed new configuration with field strengths 2.3 and 5 T. The T value was chosen order avoid stray fields. observations do not show presence signal down levels...
Experimental bounds on induced vacuum magnetic birefringence can be used to improve present photon-photon scattering limits in the electronvolt energy range.

Abstract. The advent of open science and the United Nations Decade Ocean Science for Sustainable Development are revolutionizing ocean data sharing landscape an efficient transparent information knowledge generation. This blue revolution raised awareness on importance metadata community standards to actionate interoperability digital assets (data services) guarantee that driven preserve provenance, lineage quality its replicability. Historical frequently not compliant with these criteria,...
The accuracy of thermal conductivity measurements is even more requested for materials characterization in energy-efficient buildings field. ENEA-UTTMATF and CertiMaC research group, as national institute private laboratory respectively, cooperate development new measurement analysis methods applied to their performances. For what concerns this kind measurements, an Heat Flow-meter Transducer (HFT) used. In order give both customers other institutes involved the same field (e.g....
Accurate measurement of temperature and salinity is a fundamental task with heavy implications in all the possible applications currently available datasets, for example, study climate changes modeling ocean dynamics. In this work, reliability measurements obtained by oceanographic devices (eXpendable BathyThermographs, Argo floats Conductivity-Temperature-Depth sensors) analyzed means an intercomparison exercise. As first step, profiles from XBT probes, deployed commercial ships crossing...
Crustose coralline algae (CCA) occur from the tropics to poles in photic benthic environments. Here, we report on some of world’s southernmost and coldest CCA sites Terra Nova, Ross Sea, Antarctica at 74°41′ S. The recently described red alga Tethysphytum antarticum is investigated for its skeletal architecture, mineralogical geochemical composition, as well taxonomic classification. A phylogenetic analysis based molecular genetics sequencing photosystem II protein D1 (psbA) gave a perfect...
Among Antarctic bryozoans, some species are able to develop calcitic bioconstructions promoting habitat complexity, but the processes leading biomineral formation mostly unknown. The present work investigated three from morphological skeletal features, including organic matrix associated with skeleton (SOM). Cellarinella nutti Rogick, 1956 and Reteporella frigida Waters, 1904 were collected in November 2018 a shallow site (25 m) njegovanae deep (110 at Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Antarctica)....
Abstract The T5 expendable bathythermographs reach the greatest depth within current XBT family. Since early 1970s, in several areas they have been providing a significant part of available temperature profiles below 1000 m and therefore represent an important resource for ocean climate study. In this paper we present new results from laboratory tests Sippican T5/20 probes analyses more than 350 XBT–CTD matched pairs our own field trials World Ocean Database (WOD), propose improved fall rate...
We sketch the proposal for a "PVLAS-Phase II" experiment. The main physics goal is to achieve first direct observation of non-linear effects in electromagnetism predicted by QED and measurement photon-photon scattering cross section at low energies (1-2 eV). Physical processes such as ALP MCP production magnetic field could also be accessible if sensitive enough operation reached. short term experimental strategy compact much possible dimensions apparatus order bring noise sources under...

Abstract Geniculate coralline algae are oases of biodiversity, providing nursery areas and shelter for the species that live amongst their fronds. The key to success in inter‐tidal is ability withstand hydrodynamic forces. Under culturing conditions most physical ecological stressors such as intense forces grazing extremely reduced, thus affecting mechanical properties response external threats. aim present study was investigate tensile clusters fronds Ellisolandia elongata from natural...
Current measurements in the open sea are generally acquired by Acoustic Doppler Profilers (ADCPs). In case of ADCPs mounted on spar buoy, current profiles require to be post-processed, properly take into account buoy influence: fact, ADCP compass may reflect alterations induced metal structure and apparent currents can occur due large displacement platform. Uncertainty analysis is finally required consider both these effects compute robust velocity estimates. A new methodology tested for a...
In this work has been estimated the compressive strength of a unidirectional lamina carbon/epoxy composite material, using cross-ply and angle-ply laminates. Over years various methods have developed to deduce properties materials reinforced with long fibres. Each these is characterized by specific way applying load specimen. The method chosen perform compression tests Wyoming Combined Loading Compression (CLC) Test Method, described in ASTM D 6641 / 6641M-09. This presents many advantages,...
