Physical oceanography during POLARSTERN cruise ARK-XVIII/1a

In spite of the lack of bottom reaching convection in the Greenland Sea since the 1980s, convection continues to ventilate the Greenland Gyre down to intermediate depth. The variability of this ventilation activity is determined here annually for eight winters according to a multiple criteria catalogue, applied to annual summer conductivity-temperature-depth transects along 75°N. The comparison of the ventilation depths with the meteorological forcing, the ice cover, and the stratification of the water column shows the decisive influence of the hydrographic structure in the upper and intermediate layers. Ice, on the other hand, is not necessary for convection to occur. Ice formation does not even lead to particularly deep convection. A stability maximum, which currently dominates the vertical structure of the water column at medium depth, limits the ventilation depths effectively.

A Rare Complication of Tracheal Intubation: Tongue Perforation

Aim. To describe the subsequent treatment of airway trauma sustained during laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. Methods. A rare injury occurring during laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation that resulted in perforation of the tongue by an endotracheal tube and the subsequent management of this unusual complication are discussed. A 65-year-old female with intraparenchymal brain hemorrhage with rapidly progressive neurologic deterioration had the airway secured prior to arrival at the referral institution. The endotracheal tube (ETT) was noted to have pierced through the base of the tongue and entered the trachea, and the patient underwent operative laryngoscopy to inspect the injury and the ETT was replaced by tracheostomy. Results. Laryngoscopy demonstrated the ETT to perforate the base of the tongue. The airway was secured with tracheostomy and the ETT was removed. Conclusions. A wide variety of complications resulting from direct and video-assisted laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation have been reported. Direct perforation of the tongue with an ETT and ability to ventilate and oxygenate subsequently is a rare injury.

Respiration by buried echidnas Tachyglossus aculeatus

Short-beaked echidnas have an impressive ability to submerge completely into soil or sand and remain there, cryptic, for long periods. This poses questions about how they manage their respiration, cut off from a free flow of gases. We measured the gradient in oxygen partial pressure (P-O2) away from the snouts of buried echidnas and oxygen consumption (V-O2) in five individuals under similar conditions, in two substrates with different air-filled porosities (f(a)). A theoretical diffusion model indicated that diffusion alone was insufficient to account for the flux of oxygen required to meet measured rates of V-O2. However, it was noticed that echidnas often showed periodic movements of the anterior part of the body, as if such movements were a deliberate effort to flush the tidal air space surrounding their nostrils. These 'flushing movements' were subsequently found to temporarily increase the levels of interstitial oxygen in the soil around the head region. Flushing movements were more frequent while V-O2 was higher during the burrowing process, and also in substrate with lower fa. We conclude that oxygen supply to buried echidnas is maintained by diffusion through the soil augmented by periodic flushing movements, which ventilate the tidal airspace that surrounds the nostrils.

La cinematica nel core dell'ammasso globulare NGC 6266 da osservazioni SINFONI

Lo studio delle regioni più interne degli ammassi globulari risulta fondamentale per la ricerca di buchi neri di massa intermedia (IMBH). La scoperta di tali oggetti avrebbe un impatto sostanziale su un gran numero di problemi astrofisici aperti, dalla formazione dei buchi neri supermassicci, all'interpretazione delle Ultra Luminous X-ray Sources, fino allo studio delle onde gravitazionali. Il presente lavoro di tesi si inserisce all'interno di un progetto osservativo mirato a studiare la dinamica interna degli ammassi globulari e volto ad investigare la presenza di IMBH nel centro di tali sistemi tramite l'analisi sistematica dei profili di dispersione di velocità e di rotazione. In questo elaborato presentiamo lo studio della cinematica del core dell'ammasso globulare NGC 6266, realizzato con lo spettrografo a campo integrale IFU-SINFONI, assistito da un sistema di ottiche adattive. Grazie all'utilizzo dell'ottica adattiva, SINFONI è in grado di realizzare osservazioni ad alta risoluzione spaziale e misurare la velocità radiale di stelle individuali anche nelle regioni più interne degli ammassi globulari, dove le misure spettroscopiche tradizionali falliscono a causa dell'elevato crowding stellare. Questo ci ha permesso di determinare il profilo centrale della dispersione di velocità di NGC 6266 dalla misura delle velocità radiali individuali di circa 400 stelle, localizzate negli 11 arcsec più interni dell'ammasso. Utilizzando dati complementari, provenienti da osservazioni realizzate con lo spettrografo multi-oggetto FLAMES, siamo stati in grado di costruire il profilo di dispersione di velocità di NGC 6266 fino ad una distanza radiale di 250 arcsec. Il profilo di dispersione di velocità osservato permette di escludere la presenza di un IMBH di massa superiore a 2500 masse solari e mostra un calo nella regione centrale, simile a quello rilevato in un numero crescente di ammassi globulari, che potrebbe indicare la presenza di anisotropia tangenziale.
