Sediment samples were collected from the rim of a large vesicomyid clam colony in the Japan Deep Sea Trench. Immediately after sample recovery onboard, the sediment core was sub-sampled for ex situ rate measurements. Sulfate reduction were measured ex situ by the whole core injection method with three replicates. We incubated the samples at in situ temperature (1.5°C) for 48 hours with carrier-free 35SO4 (dissolved in water, 50 kBq). Sediment was fixed 20 ml ZnAc solution (20%, w/v) for AOM or SR. Turnover rates were measured as previously described (Kallmeyer et al., 2004).

In this work we present the results and analysis of a 10 MeV proton irradiation experiment performed on III-V semiconductor materials and solar cells. A set of representative devices including lattice-matched InGaP/GaInAs/Ge triple junction solar cells and single junction GaAs and InGaP component solar cells and a Ge diode were irradiated for different doses. The devices were studied in-situ before and after each exposure at dark and 1 sun AM0 illumination conditions, using a solar simulator connected to the irradiation chamber through a borosilicate glass window. Ex-situ characterization techniques included dark and 1 sun AM0 illumination I-V measurements. Furthermore, numerical simulation of the devices using D-AMPS-1D code together with calculations based on the TRIM software were performed in order to gain physical insight on the experimental results. The experiment also included the proton irradiation of an unprocessed Ge solar cell structure as well as the irradiation of a bare Ge(100) substrate. Ex-situ material characterization, after radioactive deactivation of the samples, includes Raman spectroscopy and spectral reflectivity.

The loss of biological diversity in the Southern Part of the Lago de Maracaibo, Venezuela, due to cattle rising, has caused the extinction of 97 % of the original the Zingiberales order for purpose of study and conservation, because of the importance of this subject in the tropical floriculture (cut flowers, foliage and landscaping). The use of the biological diversity and the new native species flora could promote the efficient and sustainable use of the natural resources of the Southern Part of the Lago de Maracaibo. For that reason, it was collected 18 samples among varieties and species which passed the nursery stage, and then they were transplanted in the field after three months, besides, it was accounted the humidity and light conditions they had in their natural ecosystem; as a result plants showed favorable adaptability indicators.

Sediment samples were collected from the rim of a large vesicomyid clam colony in the Japan Deep Sea Trench. Immediately after sample recovery onboard, the sediment core was sub-sampled for ex situ rate measurements. Sulfate reduction and anaerobic oxidation of methane were measured ex situ by the whole core injection method with three replicate measurements for each method. We incubated the samples at in situ temperature (1.5°C) for 48 hours with either 14C-methane (dissolved in water, 2.5 kBq) or carrier-free 35S-sulfate (dissolved in water, 50 kBq). Sediment was fixed in 25 ml sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution (2.5%, w/v) or 20 ml ZnAc solution (20%, w/v) for AOM or SR, respectively. Turnover rates were measured as previously described (Kallmeyer et al., 2004; Treude et al., 2003).

Bioelectrochemical systems could have potential for bioremediation of contaminants either in situ or ex situ. The treatment of a mixture of phenanthrene and benzene using two different tubular microbial fuel cells (MFCs) designed for either in situ and ex situ applications in aqueous systems was investigated over long operational periods (up to 155 days). For in situ deployments, simultaneous removal of the petroleum hydrocarbons (>90% in term of degradation efficiency) and bromate, used as catholyte, (up to 79%) with concomitant biogenic electricity generation (peak power density up to 6.75 mWm−2) were obtained at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 10 days. The tubular MFC could be operated successfully at copiotrophic (100 ppm phenanthrene, 2000 ppm benzene at HRT 30 days) and oligotrophic (phenanthrene and benzene, 50 ppb each, HRT 10 days) substrate conditions suggesting its effectiveness and robustness at extreme substrate concentrations in anoxic environments. In the MFC designed for ex situ deployments, optimum MFC performance was obtained at HRT of 30 h giving COD removal and maximum power output of approximately 77% and 6.75 mWm−2 respectively. The MFC exhibited the ability to resist organic shock loadings and could maintain stable MFC performance. Results of this study suggest the potential use of MFC technology for possible in situ/ex situ hydrocarbon-contaminated groundwater treatment or refinery effluents clean-up, even at extreme contaminant level conditions.

El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo la comparación de la diversidad de aves en dos sitios de la ciudad de Managua: 1. Arboretum Alain Meyrat y 2. Jardín Botánico y Vivero Santa Elena. A la vez, se identificaron las acciones y actividades antropogénicas que ejercen presión en las aves, valorando paralelamente la cultura ambientalista de la población aledaña a cada sitio. En ambos sitios se establecieron dos puntos de conteo de aves, los cuales fueron visitados con una frecuencia de dos días a la semana entre los meses de agosto y diciembre del año 2014 y febrero y abril del año 2015. En los dos sitios se observaron 263 individuos agrupados en 47 especies, 40 géneros, 21 familias y 11 órdenes. Tanto los valores de riqueza de especie como de diversidad calculada por el índice de Shannon-Wiener fueron significativamente mayores en el Arboretum Alain Meyrat comparados con el Jardín Botánico y Vivero Santa Elena. Sin embargo la composición de especies no varió marcadamente entre los dos sitios. A pesar de esto,es posible que las aves hayan preferido el Arboretum porque la composición florística es más diversa. La mayoría de las especies observadas prefieren hábitats abiertos, borde de bosque, sistemas agroforestales y áreas urbanas, exceptuando para algunos mayormente reportados en la literatura en bosques secundarios e interior de bosques como Pachyramphus aglaiae,Trogon melanocephalus y Cholorostilbon canivetii. En su mayoría, las especies pertenecían al gremio alimenticio insectívoro –frugívoro. El 95 %de los pobladores aledaños y estudiantes manifestaron, a través de sus respuestas a encuestas estructuradas, que no se ha promovido ninguna acción de protección de la biodiversidad en sus barrios. Además, 5% de los mismos exteriorizaron que en su momentose habían hecho jornadas de reforestación.

The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the filtration method (in situ vs. ex situ) on the dissolved/particulate partitioning of 12 elements in hydrothermal samples collected from the Lucky Strike vent field (Mid-Atlantic Ridge; MAR). To do so, dissolved ( <0.45 mu m) and particulate Mg, Li, Mn, U, V, As, Ba, Fe, Zn, Cd, Pb and Cu were measured using different techniques (HR-ICP-MS, ICP-AES and CCSA). Using in situ filtration as a baseline, we showed that ex situ filtration (on-board and on shore after freezing) resulted in an underestimation of the dissolved pool, which was counterbalanced by an overestimation of the particulate pool for almost all the elements studied. We also showed that on-board filtration was acceptable for the assessment of dissolved and particulate Mn, Mg, Li and U for which the measurement bias for the dissolved fraction did not exceed 3%. However, in situ filtration appeared necessary for the accurate assessment of the dissolved and particulate concentrations of V, As, Fe, Zn, Ba, Cd, Pb and Cu. In the case of Fe, on-board filtration underestimated the dissolved pool by up to 96%. Laboratory filtration (after freezing) resulted in a large bias in the dissolved and particulate concentrations, unambiguously discounting this filtration method for deep-sea chemical speciation studies. We discuss our results in light of the precipitation processes that can potentially affect the accuracy of ex situ filtration methods.
