Abstract: A method for selectively absorbing nitrogen oxides NOx from gaseaous mixtures containing carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide and water and optionally contaminants chosen among CO, SO2, hydrocarbons and mixtures thereof, comprising placing the gaseous mixtures in contact with absorber compounds having formula Ba2Cu3O5+d, where d is a number from 0.6 to 1. New compounds having the above formula are characterized by high resistance to carbonatation and by specific Raman spectra.

Abstract: Compounds having the formula A2B3O6±d wherein A is an alkaline-earth metal, an alkaline metal, a lanthanide, or a solid solution thereof, B is a transition metal, an element of group III, or a solid solution thereof, and d has a value between 0 and 1; a method for preparing the compounds; a method for producing composite materials on various matrices and thin or thick films deposited on various substrates which contain the compounds; their use; and a method for eliminating certain gases from a mixture that includes them by using the compounds.

Abstract: A device for analyzing organic compounds, particularly in aqueous and gaseous samples, constituted by a duct which is supplied in input by a gas whose pressure can be controlled by means of a regulator connected to a capillary column which is connected in output to a detector for the organic compounds; an adsorbent polymer immersed in a container is interposed between a first portion and a second portion of the capillary column, and the device comprises, between the second portion and a third portion, means for concentrating the organic compounds; the container contains an aqueous or gaseous sample which interacts with the adsorbent polymer adapted to extract the organic compounds conveyed by the gas in passing through the adsorbent polymer toward the concentration means in order to be measured by the detector.

Abstract: A catalyst for the full oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOC), particularly hydrocarbons, and of CO to CO2, which comprises a compound having the formula A2B3O6±d where A is an alkaline-earth metal, an alkaline metal, a lanthanide, or a solid solution thereof, B is a transition metal, an element of group III, or a solid solution thereof, and d has a value between 0 and 1; and a method for the full oxidation of volatile organic compounds using the catalyst.

Abstract: ‘PA5UNIBO’ is a novel cherry tree derived from a seedling of unknown cross which was planted at Vignola, Modena Province, Italy. The genus and species (cultivar) of ‘PA5UNIBO’ is Prunus avium. It was initially propagated by grafting to root stocks of varying vigor and, after testing in districts and plantings of differing types, proved to have the qualities proper to a promising new cultivar for the market.

Abstract: Prunus avium ‘PA4UNIBO’ is a novel cherry tree derived from a seedling of unknown cross which was planted at Vignola, Modena Province, Italy. It was initially propagated by grafting to root stocks of varying vigor and, after testing in districts and plantings of differing types, proved to have the qualities proper to a promising new cultivar for the market.
