Thick film polycristalline ZnO gas sensors for hydrogen partial pressure determination in hydrogen-air mixtures present at very complex kinetic behavior that demands to be thoroughly clarified order them used practical applications. For this reason a systematic investigation has been carried out on the time and temperature dependence of electrical conductivity films deposited via spray pyrolysis ceramic substrates range 498-573 K presence dispersed Pt as catalyst
The present study examined the modulatory effects of natural fiber substrates (agave fiber, coconut and peat moss) synthetic alternatives (capillary mat cellulose sponge) on nutritive phytochemical composition select microgreens species (coriander, kohlrabi pak choi) grown in a controlled environment. Polyphenols were analyzed by UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS, major carotenoids HPLC-DAD, macro-minerals ion chromatography. Microgreens moss had outstanding fresh dry yield but low matter content....
Bioregenerative life support systems (BLSS) are conceived of and developed so as to provide food sources for crewed missions the Moon or Mars. The in situ resource utilization (ISRU) approach aims reduce terrestrial input into a BLSS by using native regoliths recycled organic waste primary resources. combination ISRU may allow sustainable production on This task poses several challenges, including effects partial gravity, limited availability oxygen water, self-sustaining management Lunar...
Abstract. We investigate the potential impact of accounting for seasonal variations in climatic forcing and using different methods to parameterize soil water content at field capacity on balance components computed by a bucket model (BM). The single-layer BM Guswa et al. (2002) is employed, whereas Richards equation (RE) based Soil Water Atmosphere Plant (SWAP) used as benchmark model. results are analyzed two differently-textured soils some synthetic runs under real-like weather...
Basic soil properties have long been used to predict unsaturated hydraulic with pedotransfer function (PTFs). Implementation of such PTFs is usually not feasible for catchment‐scale studies because the experimental effort that would be required. On other hand, topographical attributes are often readily available. This study therefore examines how well perform use both basic and a hillslope in Basilicata, Italy. data were determined on samples taken at 50‐m intervals along 5‐km transect....
Abstract Agricultural terraces are often subject to degradation issues related water movement. A better understanding of the main hydrological processes that govern surface and subsurface flow pathways responsible for terrace failure dry‐stone wall collapse is essential appropriate resource management rural landscape maintenance in terraced areas. However, a clear conceptualization different functioning instability still missing. In this study, we monitored system hilly site central Italy...
To evaluate the feasibility and results of stenting arterial duct in newborns with duct-dependent pulmonary circulation using low-profile, high-flexibility premounted coronary stents.Prospective interventional clinical follow-up study.Tertiary referral centre.Between April 2003 December 2006, 26 neonates (mean (SD) age 15.2 (19.9) days, mean weight 3.3 (0.8) kg) underwent attempts at duct.Procedural success complication rates. Early mid-term results.The procedure was successfully completed...
Heavy payloads in future shuttle journeys to Mars present limiting factors, making self-sustenance essential for colonies. Therefore, situ resources utilization (ISRU) is the path successful and feasible space voyages. This research frames concept of planting leafy vegetables on regolith simulant, ameliorating this substrate's fertility by addition organic residues produced situ. For purpose, two butterhead lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. capitata) cultivars (green red Salanova®) were chosen...
To make feasible the crewed missions to Moon or Mars, space research is focusing on development of bioregenerative life support systems (BLSS) designed produce food crops based in situ resource utilisation (ISRU), allowing reduce terrestrial input and recycle organic wastes. In this regard, a major question concerns suitability native regoliths for plant growth how their agronomic performance affected by additions matter from crew waste. We tested substrates consisting MMS-1 (Mars) LHS-1...
Abstract Background and aims Higher plants represent an optimal tool to regenerate resources while producing food in Space. However, the configuration of fertile cultivation substrates based on extraterrestrial is still a challenge. We evaluated adaptability potato ( Solanum tuberosum L., cv. ‘Colomba’) growth six substrates: MMS-1 Mars regolith simulant, alone (R100) mixture with 30% vol. green compost (R70C30), fluvial sand, or mixed (S100 S70C30), red soil from Sicily (RS), volcanic...
A field experiment was conducted in 2018 at Marciano della Chiana (Arezzo, AR, Central Italy) with the main aim of investigating effect soil amendment organic fraction municipal solid waste (OFMSW) compost and legume green manuring (Vicia villosa Roth, cv. villana) on a tobacco crop (dark fire-cured Kentucky type, Foiano) grown under both full (100% ETc) deficit (70% evapotranspiration, irrigation. The treatments are hereafter reported as GM (vetch manuring) NGM (no vetch manuring), FI (full...
The changing environmental constraints require even more adaptations of management techniques in agriculture and the qualitative improvement wine production represents a sector international strategic importance. Many wine-producing areas are located environments currently suffering, or expected to experience future, water deficits that can affect grape quality. In framework CISAV project (financed by University Naples Research Funding - FRA), three years irrigation experiments (from 2021...
Mars exploration will foresee the design of bioregenerative life support systems (BLSSs), in which use/recycle situ resources might allow production food crops. However, cultivation on poorly-fertile regolith be very challenging. To pursue this goal, we grew potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants MMS-1 Mojave simulant, pure (R100) and mixed with green compost at 30% (R70C30), a pot cold glasshouse fertigation. For comparison purposes, also fluvial sand, (S100) amended (S70C30), volcanic soil...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the capability hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides × Populus nigra) reduce cadmium (Cd) concentrations in an experimental site Campania Region (southern Italy) subjected illegal deposit industrial and household waste. We propose efficiency for Cd phytoextraction by coupling use a process-based, distributed hydrological model (HydroGeoSphere, HGS) with photogrammetric images acquired Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). This scenario-based approach exploits...
This paper deals with the environmental characterization of a large and densely populated area, poor reputation for contamination, considering contribution features (air, soil, soil hydraulic groundwater) potential effects on human health. The use Geographic Information System (GIS) has made possible georeferenced inventory and, by overlaying information, an operational synthesis comprehensive conditions. cumulative were evaluated, taking into account superposition effects, means Spatial...
