    Geochemical features of thermal waters at Benetutti (Sardinia)

    No full text
    This paper reports the geochemistry of the thermal and cold waters at Benetutti in central Sardinia. Both major and trace components in 24 water samples were analysed using various techniques. The thermal waters show a sodium chloride composition and a salinity of 0.5 g/L; they are characterised by a pH of 9.5-9.7, very low magnesium (0.01-0.1 mg/L), and much higher F, B, Li, Rb, Cs, and Mo concentrations than in the cold waters of the area. No variations in temperature, flow, or chemical composition were observed at the thermal springs for which records dating back 20 years are available. Subsurface reservoirs associated with the thermal springs are of a low enthalpy (calculated temperature at depth is about 60°C), and are therefore candidates for direct uses, such as balneology, space heating, and horticulture

    The D-1 antagonist SCH 23390 stimulates while the D-1 agonist SKF 38393 fails to affect dopamine release in the dorsal caudate of freely moving rats.

    SCH 23390, from doses of 0.012 mg/kg s.c., dose dependently stimulated the release of dopamine (DA) and the output of its metabolites, dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and homovanillic acid, in the dorsal caudate of freely moving rats implanted with transcerebral dialysis fibers. SKF 38393 failed to modify DA release and metabolism at doses of 5, 10 and 25 mg/kg s.c. but at 25 mg/kg s.c. it abolished the effect of 0.025 mg/kg of SCH 23390. Administration of gamma-butyrolactone (700 mg/kg s.c.), which blocks the firing of DA neurons, prevented the effect of 0.050 mg/kg s.c. SCH 23390. The results indicate that D-1 receptors control the release of DA, probably through stimulation of the firing of DA neurons

    MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations

    Information overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

    Diagnostics for specific PAHs in the far-IR: Searching neutral naphthalene and anthracene in the Red Rectangle

    Context.In the framework of the interstellar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) hypothesis, far-IR skeletal bands are expected to be the fingerprints of single species in this class. Aims.We address the question of detectability of low energy PAH vibrational bands, with respect to spectral contrast and intensity ratio with “classical” Aromatic Infrared Bands (AIBs). Methods.We extend our established Monte Carlo model of the photophysics of specific PAHs in astronomical environments to include rotational and anharmonic band structure. The required molecular parameters were calculated in the framework of the Density Functional Theory. Results.We calculate the detailed spectral profiles of three low-energy vibrational bands of neutral naphthalene and four low-energy vibrational bands of neutral anthracene. They are used to establish detectability constraints based on intensity ratios with “classical” AIBs. A general procedure is suggested to select promising diagnostics and tested on available Infrared Space Observatory data for the Red Rectangl
