Size–Abundance Relationships of Freshwater Macroinvertebrates in Two Contrasting Floodplain Channels of Rhone River

2022

Body size is perhaps the most fundamental property of an organism and its relationship with abundance is one of the most studied relationships in ecology. Although numerous studies have examined these relationships in local communities, few have investigated how they vary at different temporal and spatial scales. We investigated the relationship between body size and abundance of local macroinvertebrate communities in two floodplain channels of the French upper Rhone River. The two channels differ in their vegetation coverage (high vs. low vegetation) and hydrological regimes. The shapes of the size–abundance relationship were similar between channels on a yearly basis but differed wh…

Landform classification: a high-performing mapping unit partitioning tool for landslide susceptibility assessment—a test in the Imera River basin (no…

2022

In landslide susceptibility studies, the type of mapping unit adopted affects the obtained models and maps in terms of accuracy, robustness, spatial resolution and geomorphological adequacy. To evaluate the optimal selection of these units, a test has been carried out in an important catchment of northern Sicily (the Imera River basin), where the spatial relationships between a set of predictors and an inventory of 1608 rotational/translational landslides were analysed using the multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) method. In particular, landslide susceptibility models were prepared and compared by adopting four different types of mapping units: the largely adopted grid cells (PX…

Numerical experiments for defining criteria for the use of LS-PIV based techniques in river monitoring.

2019

The developing of new image-based techniques for environmental monitoring is opening new frontiers for remote streamflow measurements in natural environments, since they allow for non-intrusive measurements even in adverse circumstances, such as high flow conditions that often hinder the use of traditional approaches and instruments. Methods based on the acquisition, analysis and elaboration of images for streamflow observation, such as the large scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV) and the particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) techniques, are rapidly evolving also in consideration of the growing availability of a new generation of optical sensors, digital cameras and methodologies. A num…

Cities inside the City on River Amstel

2017

Paramaribo, Curaçao, Jakarta. Se utilizzassimo il linguaggio gastronomico, potrebbero suonare rispettivamente come moksie alesie (il coloratissimo riso misto a carne, pollo, verdure, fagioli bianchi, peperoncino e latte di cocco), planteur (il rinfrescante long drink con il frutto di guava, ananas, melograno, arancia, rum agricolo, cannella e noce moscata), nasi goreng (il classico piatto unico indonesiano a base di riso fritto, pollo e gamberetti). Per gustarli tutti dovremmo compiere un impegnativo tour attorno al pianeta, dal Suriname alle isole caraibiche e spingerci fino all'Indonesia. Oppure potremmo scegliere un'alternativa forse più interessante: passeggiare comodamente tra i canali…

Contatti culturali, identità e popolamento nel territorio imerese

2016

Il lavoro prende in considerazione il problema dei rapporti tra coloni greci e comunità indigene nel territorio di Himera, sulla base dei risultati della prospezione archeologica condotta per tre decenni nelle valli dei fiumi Imera settentrionale, Torto e S. Leonardo. Vengono esaminati gli elementi di cultura materiale che permettono di definire i modi dell'interazione culturale tra coloni e indigeni, nonché di ricostruire i paesaggi politici, socio-economici e il paesaggio del sacro nelle diverse aree indagate e nei diversi comprensori. La ricerca infatti permette di delineare, oltre alle usuali organizzazioni insediative e agricole della chora politiké e della éremos chora, anche articola…

Settore L-ANT/09 - Topografia AnticaSettore L-ANT/07 - Archeologia ClassicaThis work focuses on the problem of cultural contacts between Greek colonists and indigenous communities in the territory of Himera based on the results of the archaeological survey conducted for three decades in the valleys of the northern Imera Torto and S. Leonardo rivers. The elements of material culture that enable us to define the ways of cultural interaction between settlers and indigenous peoples as well as to reconstruct the political socio-economic and sacred landscapes in the various districts investigated are examined. In fact the research allows to outline in addition to the usual settlement and agricultural organizations of chora politiké and éremos chora articulated areas within the territory of Himera and to understand the landmarks of the rural settlement alongside the presence of highland settlements . Therefore the center-periphery approach is abandoned for a more articulated analysis demonstrating different forms of settlement and cultural contact in the three river valleys of the Himera hinterland.

Meticciamento regressivo: donne migranti e donne palermitane

2020

Lo studio proposto restringe in campo d’analisi a un quartiere dei più antichi e popolari di Palermo per descrivere e riflettere sull’interpretazione fornita dalle donne migranti provenienti dell’Africa alle discriminazioni di genere subite dai loro conterranei che ne orientano i codici comportamentali. Un aspetto inatteso che costituisce il cuore della ricerca è in ciò che è stato indicato come la fase aurorale di un meticciamento regressivo, e i cui effetti si sono caratterizzati con sfumature diverse proprio attraverso le riflessioni delle donne autoctone che valutavano positivamente i modelli comportamentali e l’agire quotidiano delle donne immigrate appartenenti alle loro cerchie di so…
