this study reports the concentrations of important tracers of the marine environment, 210po and210pb, in different matrices from field samples collected at central adriatic sea (italy), a non-contaminatedmarine ecosystem. 210po concentration appears to decrease with increasing distance from the coast and asignificant difference in 210po concentrations in seawater samples at two different depths...

U-Th and 14C dating, and X-ray diffraction of parts of 16 submerged speleothems taken from depths of 1.5−41.5 m from 7 submarine caves and pits along the Eastern Adriatic coast, provided insight into the sea-level fl uctuations during the last 220 ka, and to the palaeogeographic changes caused by sea-level changes. Due to climate changes, palaeoenvironmental settings also varied, but not so abr...

Sediment redox potentials (EH) at stations of different trophic status in the central Adriatic from 2001-2007 were investigated in this paper. For most part of the year at open sea and channel stations EH values were mainly positive (+150 to 0 mV), even to 10 cm sediment depth. Positive EH (absence of sulphate reduction with very low sulphide concentrations) at these stations is probably caused...

Recently, discrete and variable Adriatic indices have been introduced and it has been shown that the sum α -exdeg index is good predictor (when variable parameter is equal to 0.37 ) of the octanol-water partition coefficient for octane isomers. Here, we study mathematical properties of this descriptor. Namely, we analyze extremal graphs of this descriptor in the following classes: the class of ...

A regional ocean forecasting system has been implemented in the framework of the ADRIatic sea integrated COastal areaS and river basin Management system Pilot Project (ADRICOSM). The system is composed of a 5 km horizontal resolution model and an observing system collecting coastal and open ocean hydrological data. The numerical model is based on the Princeton Ocean Model using a SMOLARKIEWICZ ...

Despite high competition among big EU ports, such as Rotterdam, Hamburg, or Valencia, acting Core Ports in the Trans-European Transport and Comprehensive Network (TEN-T), this paper addresses marginalized decision-making capability for environmental digital transition immanent Small Medium-Sized (SMSPs) ecosystems EU. Irrespective of topical research, little is said about SMSPs ecosystem sustai...

This epidemiological study is completed on island Rab, located in North Adriatic Sea. For this study it is important that Adriatic Sea has one of the highest solar radiations in geographical area of Europe. The aim of this epidemiological study is to estimate correlation between incidence of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and exposure of sunlight in two different populations on island R...

The field work is carried out in the northern Adriatic margin in the framework of the EuroSTRAFORM program. Our approach is to use the signature of the organic matter in order to: 1) trace the initial distribution of flood sediments on the shelf (spatial variability); 2) trace the physical and biological reworking of the flood layer (temporal variability); 3) discriminate between Po and Apennin...

Strong diurnal oscillations, documented by temperature data that were collected along a submarine cliff on the Lastovo Island (southern Adriatic), are studied and compared with sea level and wind measurements at Dubrovnik and Komiža (island of Vis). Three thermistors were deployed at the depths of 15, 22 and 36 m between March 2001 and March 2002. Pronounced diurnal temperature oscillations wer...
