A comparison of the performance Brassica carinata oil-derived biodiesel with a commercial rapeseed and petroleum diesel fuel is discussed as regards engine regulated unregulated exhaust emissions. B. an oil crop that can be cultivated in coastal areas central-southern Italy, where it more difficult to achieve productivity potentials napus (by far most common continental Europe). Experimental tests were carried out on turbocharged direct injection passenger car fueled 100% biodiesel. The...
ABSTRACT Crenothrix polyspora Cohn 1870 and Clonothrix fusca Roze 1896 are two filamentous, sheathed microorganisms exhibiting complex morphological differentiation, whose phylogeny physiology have been obscure for a long time due to the inability cultivate them. Very recently, DNA sequencing data from uncultured C. -enriched material suggested that is methane-oxidizing γ-proteobacterium (39). In contrast, possible ecological function of , originally considered developmental stage unknown....
In the next years, number of circulating plug-in hybrid electric vehicles was expected to increase worldwide. Hybrid electric/gasoline powertrain is considered a promising solution meet future goals greenhouse gas emission reduction by road transport sector. This paper investigates emissive and energetic behaviour passenger car over on testing. Measurements CO, CO2, NOx exhaust emissions main motor parameters were carried out using portable measurement system urban, rural motorway routes in...
The concentrations of T4 and T3 were measured by specific RIAs in chicken embryonated eggs embryonic tissues before (at 4 6 days incubation) after the onset thyroid function 10-20 days). All samples submitted to extensive delipidation purification. found yolk, as described others, also egg white, although at lower concentrations. initial total maternal supplies per are 67 ng 30 2.4 1.9 albumen. Whole 4-day-old embryos contained a 2.48 pg 0.65 T3. head (mostly brain) 6-day old 4.1 4.6 T3;...
The traditional approach to the comparison of alternative types road intersection control has focused mainly on efficiency and safety. In recent years, increasing importance air pollution produced by vehicular traffic suggested that environmental considerations should be added above aspects as a criterion for design. This study describes before-and-after analysis conducted where roundabout replaced signal. Using Portable Emission Measurement Systems (PEMS) installed test car, instantaneous...
Two experimental monitoring campaigns were carried out in 2012 to investigate the air quality port of Naples, most important southern Italy for traffic passengers and one goods. Therefore, it represents an pollution source located close city Naples. The concentrations sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen (NO2), BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes) measured at 15 points inside Naples area through use passive samplers. In addition, a mobile laboratory was positioned fixed point measure...
The recently introduced Real Driving Emissions (RDE) light-duty vehicle emissions regulation requires testing with Portable Measurement Systems (PEMS) during type approval and in-service conformity. studies on the accuracy of PEMS today are limited. An inter-laboratory correlation exercise took place in Italy 2017. Eight laboratories measured exhaust from a Golden Euro 6 gasoline installed it, along individual lab’s own PEMS, following regulated laboratory method (bags dilution tunnel). data...
Abstract The addition of physiological concentrations (1 n m ) tri-iodothyronine (T 3 to the culture medium Sertoli cells from prepubertal (8-day-old) rats stimulated both protein synthesis (+55%) and lactate (+50%) production, while it inhibited DNA (−30/35%) aromatase activity (−45/50%); insignificant T -dependent effects were observed in cultured midpubertal (28-day-old) rats. These data suggest an age-dependent role for thyroid hormone promoting maintaining cell differentiation at...
