Although aluminium alloys are known to exhibit generally good corrosion resistance in natural seawater, they may encounter generalised and localised corrosion phenomena. In this work, an aluminium alloy casted referring to the AA 5083 composition was tested in artificial vs. natural seawater exposed to the photoperiod. SS 254 SMO samples were...

The acorn barnacle Balanus amphitrite is a marine crustacean with six nauplius and one cyprid larval stages and a sessile adult, that represent one of the main constituents of sea biofouling. The cyprid is the last larval stage, specialized for settlement, and the study of its biology is interesting also in the frame of antifouling strategies....

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the photobiomodulation (PBM) effect of the 808 nm diode laser irradiation on spermatozoa, eggs, fertilized eggs, embryos, and larvae of Paracentrotus lividus, using two different power settings. Background data: Studies have shown the possible use of PBM in artificial insemination. These have...
