Open AccessDistribution, Mobility and Fate of Trace Elements in an Estuarine System Under Anthropogenic Pressure: the Case of the Karstic Timavo River (Northern Adriatic Sea, Italy)
The accumulation of contaminants and their potential mobility represent two of the main environmental issues facing coastal environments. Sediments often act as “reservoirs” of contaminants, including potentia...

Development of a voltammetric electronic tongue for discrimination of edible oils
In this paper, we propose a novel strategy to perform cyclic voltammetric measurements with a platinum microelectrode directly in edible oil samples. The microelectrode was employed as an electronic tongue tha...
