Passive and active ammonia (NH(3)) sampling devices have been tested for their nitrogen (N) capture potential delta(15)N fractionation effects. Several techniques produced significantly different delta(15)NH(3) signals when the same NH(3) source released from field site fumigation campaigns. Conventional passive NH(3)-monitoring systems shown to provide insufficient N isotope-ratio mass spectrometry various modified developed, based on existing diffusion tube designs, overcome this problem....

The aim of this paper was to describe the patient characteristics and outcomes from a metropolitan emergency department (ED) during 2019/2020 'Black Summer Bushfires' disaster in Australia compare matched period same ED one year earlier. Years drought, low relative humidity, high temperatures, forest fuel loads led catastrophic fire conditions across 2019 2020. As result; 33 people died, 3 billion animals 24 40 million hectares were lost, 3,000 homes destroyed. impact wildfire smoke is...

Abstract Previous studies on foliar δ 15 N values, in certain bryophytes, have indicated signature similarities to source pollutants. The object of this study was investigate the effect further, by examining mechanisms whereby isotopic fractionation occurs systems such as atmospheric ammonia (NH 3 ), throughfall, vegetation and soil. Measurements taken around point emission sources will then be used characterise various effects associated with these transformations, well demonstrate some...

The elastic moduli are a function of properties that could vary between samples and change during maturation. Consequently, the effects organic matter maturation on wave velocities organic-rich rocks challenging to describe. This work analyzes isolated content, pore volume, microstructure, propagation waves. To avoid any initial rock heterogeneity, we prepared series homogeneous from unique outcrop block collected Eagle Ford formation with mineral composition initially determined using X-ray...

Photoabsorption spectra have been measured for several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and compounds (PACs) using synchrotron radiation at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Source (LNLS), covering carbon, nitrogen as well oxygen 1s-edges. A new sample preparation method was tested applied successfully specially less volatile compounds. Our data showed good agreement with previously published results. New photoabsorption of PAHs PACs were recorded will be presented. street dust analysed...

Medical Readiness Training is of major importance in preparing to meet the challenge medical care during wartime and national emergencies or disasters. As an alternative simulated casualty training, U.S. Public Health Service Army joined forces provide “real world” for troops training. Although training provides insight into trauma medicine, it felt that many aspects real are often ignored taken granted. Providing under austere field conditions a realistic environment presents situations can...
