Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones.

Haem-mediated albumin biosensing: Towards voltammetric detection of PFOA.

Ensembles of gold nanodisk electrodes (NEE - Nano Electrodes Ensemble) 30 nm in diameter are presented, focusing on their capability of furnishing improved signal/background current ratios with respect to conventional electrodes. NEEs are employed here for the voltammetric determination of iodide concentration in samples of interest in marine environmental studies. Specifically, NEEs are applied to determine directly the iodide at micromolar concentration levels in iodized edible salt by cyclic voltammetry as well as at sub-micromolar concentration levels in lagoon waters by square wave voltammetry.

Preliminary studies on the iodide determination in the marine environment by nanoelectrode ensembles

A straightforward synthetic route to a selection of new ferrocenyl complexes bearing different organopalladium fragments is reported. The target complexes were fully characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, High Resolution Mass Spectrometry, Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction, and electrochemical techniques. All compounds, with the exception of Pd(0)-olefin derivatives, showed excellent antitumor activity on ovarian cancer cells and, in the case of Pd (II)-allyl and Pd (II)-butadienyl complexes, a lower cytotoxicity towards normal cells.

Biosensors are self-contained analytical devices in which a bioreceptor is integrated with a transducer. The interaction between the bioreceptor and a target analyte generates a signal suitable for analytical purposes. In electrochemical biosensors, a change in the redox state of the biorecognition/analyte system generates a change in an electrochemical quantity which can be monitored by electroanalytical techniques. Electrochemical sensors can be miniaturized using ultramicroelectrodes and nanoelectrodes and their arrays as transducers. These devices are characterized by high specificity and sensitivity and improved detection limits. Biosensors can be used by non-specialist operators at the point of care. For the above reasons, within the frame of the Trans2care project, the Laboratory of Electrochemical Sensors of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice will collaborate with the project partners to develop electrochemical sensors suitable for specific clinical needs.
