Stomata are cellular pores on the leaf epidermis that allow plants to regulate carbon assimilation and water loss. Stomata integrate environmental signals to regulate pore apertures and optimize gas exchange to fluctuating conditions. Here, we quantified intraspecific plasticity of stomatal gas exchange and anatomy in response to seasonal variation in Brachypodium distachyon. Over the course of two years we (i) used infrared gas analysis to assess light response kinetics of 120 Bd21-3 wild-type individuals in an environmentally fluctuating greenhouse and (ii) microscopically determined the seasonal variability of stomatal anatomy in a subset of these plants. We observed systemic environmental effects on gas exchange measurements and remarkable intraspecific plasticity of stomatal anatomical traits. To reliably link anatomical variation to gas exchange, we adjusted anatomical gsmax calculations for grass stomatal morphology. We propose that systemic effects and variability in stomatal anatomy should be accounted for in long-term gas exchange studies.

Abstract. Automated water sampling devices adapted to field operation have proven highly useful for environmental research as well as in the public and private sector, where natural or artificial waters need to be tested regularly for compliance with environmental and health regulations. Such autosamplers are already available on the market in slightly differing versions, but none of these devices are capable of sealing the collected samples to prevent sample alteration by contamination, evaporation or gas exchange. In many sampling cases, however, this feature is essential, for instance for studying the hydrological cycle based on isotopes in rainwater, or for monitoring waters contaminated with toxic gases or other volatile compounds detrimental to biota and human health. Therefore, we have developed a new mobile autosampler, which injects water samples directly into airtight vials, thus preventing any sample alteration. Further advantages include low production costs, compact dimensions and low weight allowing for easy transport, a wide range of selectable sampling intervals as well as a low power consumption, which make it suitable for long-term applications even in remote areas and harsh (outdoor) conditions due to its heavy-duty water-proof casing. In this paper, we demonstrate (1) the sampler's mechanical functioning, (2) the long-term stability of the collected samples with regard to evaporation and gas exchange and (3) the potential of our device in a wide variety of applications drawing on laboratory and field experiments in different karst caves, which represent one of the most challenging sampling environments.

The Endotracheal and Enteric Tubes chapter addresses these frequently used medical devices. An endotracheal tube (ETT) is a catheter placed into the airway for mechanical ventilation. It serves to protect the airway and provide adequate gas exchange. The ideal position of the endotracheal tube tip is approximately 5 cm above the carina. Complications of ETT placement include inadequate ventilation if placed too high or too low, esophageal intubation and tracheal injury. Tracheostomy tubes are used in patients who require long-term intubation. Enteric tubes are thin flexible hollow catheters that course into the stomach and beyond. They may be placed via nasal (nasogastic) or oral (orogastric) approach. When used for suctioning, the ideal position of the tube tip is within the stomach. When used for administration of drugs or nutrition, the tube tip is ideally advanced beyond the pylorus. Enteric tube malposition may be due to coiling within the esophagus or inadvertent malposition within the airway. Malpositioning could result in aspiration, lung injury, and pneumothorax.
