    The AIQUA workshop, sponsored by the TERPRO and SACCOM INQUA Commissions and by the IGG-CNR and the Department of Geosciences of the University of Padova, was held at the Department of Geosciences of Padova, on June 22nd-23nd, 2017 (scientific and organizing committee: P. Mozzi, G. Monegato, A. Fontana, S. Rossato). The workshop focused on the geomorphic, sedimentary and palaeoenvironmental events that occurred in the southern Alpine region and related Po Plain, Venetian-Friulian Plain and Adriatic basin during the Last Glacial Maximum and the Late Glacial. About 60 participants attended the workshop, with nine solicited talks, five short communications and posters, and ample time devoted to discussion. The second day consisted in a field trip in the Venetian Prealps

    Sedimentary evidence of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) during the last glacial maximum in the Venetian-Friulian plain (NE Italy)

    The outwash rivers of the Venetian-Friulian plain promoted a high-rate aggradation during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), with large sedimentary bodies fed by major glaciers along the south-eastern side of the Alps. Glaciers were temperate-type, hold up by high precipitation rates and characterized by large amount of water trapped in subglacial lakes or funneled in speedy streams. The stratigraphic analysis of these sedimentary bodies showed sharp changes from coarse gravels to well-sorted sandy gravels few kilometers downstream. Large boulders, 1–2m in size, are present in many sites, especially in the Tagliamento outwash plain, from the endmoraine system to about 13 km far to the south. Most of the boulders are located on the eastern area of the sandur and lie stratigraphically above a paleosol, radiocarbon dated to 31,114 ± 643 cal a BP, thus belonging to the LGM sandur of the Tagliamento glacier. In some locations these boulders are associated to large bars, showing a rough cross-bedding. Similar sedimentary structures are observed 2 km downstream of the LGM frontal moraines in the Astico outwash system, a 25-km-long transfluence tongue of the Adige-Brenta glacial complex. In this case the occurrence gravel dunes containing many boulders marks the evidence of a high-energy deposition. The occurrence of cross-bedded bars, embedding large boulders up to 2m of diameter, in the piedmont plain of the south-eastern Alps is peculiar. Breaks of natural dams, such as the frontal moraines or the glacier itself, may have triggered glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) that determined the formation of such gravel bars with meter-size clasts

    Investigating evidences of Quaternary glaciations in the Prealpine environment of the Astico valley

    In the Astico valley (Venetian Prealps) some glacial, fluvioglacial and glaciolacustrine deposits were found. They are attributed to a pre-LGM glacial advance which reached further out in the valley. Geomorphological and stratigraphic data support this hypothesis. It is also pointed out the presence of a tectonic guidance in the developing of the Astico fluvial network

    In vitro diffusion studies of some polyene antibiotics with a three-phase partition apparatus

    The behaviour of a series of new polyene antibiotics derived from partricin A was studied using a suitable apparatus, consisting of a triphasic water/oil/water system for the in vitro evaluation of the diffusion characteristics. The transport rate constant from the donor aqueous phase to the receiving aqueous phase, through the oil phase, was found to be directly proportional to the concentration of the test product in the donor aqueous phase, inversely proportional to the pH values of the aqueous phases and directly proportional to the oil/water partition coefficient of the various polyenes considered. Information was thus obtained about the possible in vivo behaviour of the series of products considered, which would prove helpful in planning furthermore extensive and more thorough investigations on a restricted number of molecules
