Ecology, environmental requirements and conservation of corticioid fungi occupying small diameter dead wood
2016
The increasing human impact upon the biosphere of earth is causing profound changes across all spatial scales. The ability to cope with human-induced disturbance varies among organisms; specialist species are more negatively affected than generalist species. Forests are among the most heavily affected ecosystems; especially the dead wood associated organisms are in peril. The earlier research has strongly focused on large diameter dead wood and associated species. The aim of this thesis was to investigate small diameter dead wood and collect systematic information about species richness and abundance as well as habitat and substrate preferences of associated corticioid fungi. Fungal data wa…

Flow characteristics of a channelized debris-flow and implications in numerical modelling: a study case
2012
As it is known, debris flows are characterized by extreme propagation rapidity and by the ability to move high quantity of fluid mass. Furthermore, debris flows are fluid enough to travel long distances and, thus, to cause damage in vast areas, even far from the trigger ones. Debris-flow runout estimations are important for the delineation of potentially hazardous areas. Especially in recent years, several researches have been conducted in order to define predicitive models. But, existing runout estimation methods need input parameters that can be difficult to estimate. Recent advances in theory and in experimental research have allowed the assessment of the physics of the debris flows. On …
158. Velocity estimation of high-concentrated flows: sensitivity analysis with main parameters included in the Bagnold equation
2017
As it is known, the propagation of debris flow causes huge territorial changes and damages in short times. The motion of debris flow is determined by gravity and it especially occurs in steep mountainous areas. Debris flow velocity is an important factor which influences the impact forces and runup. In this context, in the present work attention is restricted to Bagnolds Equation with the specific aim to assess the impact of the aforementioned assumptions in flow velocity estimation.
Estensione e ciclicità di accumuli debritici tardo-pleistocenici nei bacini di Sibari e Corigliano (Mar Ionio): implicazioni per la tettonica recente…
2013
Corpi sedimentari caratterizzati da facies sismica “trasparente” di notevole spessore (sino a 35 m) sono stati documentati in più livelli della copertura tardo-pleistocenica della Piana Abissale del Mar Ionio ed interpretati come megatorbiditi innescate da megatsunami. Il più recente di questi corpi è stato posto da Autori vari, in relazione ai collassi vulcanici del Santorini o dell’Etna o al sisma distruttivo di Creta del 365 d.C. [Polonia et al., 2013]. Corpi “trasparenti” di notevole spessore (15-30 m) e estensione (> di 100 km2), sono stati segnalati anche nel Mar Ionio nord-occidentale e interpretati come accumuli debritici tardo-pleistocenici-olocenici, presumibilmente sismoindotti […
La Franosità diffusa dell'1 Ottobre 2009 nel territorio ionico-peloritano della Provincia di Messina: stato delle indagini e prime considerazioni sul…
2009
A seguito di un evento estremo di pioggia verificatosi il 1 ottobre 2009 in un settore circoscritto del versante ionico della Provincia di Messina, si sono sviluppati numerosi eventi franosi classificabili per la maggior parte come colate di fango e detrito a rapida evoluzione (debris-mud flows). Dai primi sopralluoghi effettuati, in assenza ancora di un censimento sistematico, si sono riconosciuti eventi in numero di oltre 500, che hanno interessato sia nei versanti interni dei bacini idrografici che sversano nello Ionio, sia sui rilievi direttamente prospicienti la costa. L’elevato numero di eventi occorsi ha consentito di dettagliare dal punto di vista morfologico i fenomeni avvenuti e d…
A case report of double etiology of ecthyma gangrenosum
2019
Abstract Rationale: Ecthyma gangrenosum is a cutaneous infection, most commonly occurring during sepsis evolution with Pseudomonas aeruginosa on an immunocompromised background. There have been rare case reports in previously healthy children and rarer are the cases with double etiology. Patient concerns: We present the case of a female Caucasian patient, aged 1 year and 8 months, who developed severe sepsis during flu evolution with predominant respiratory and cerebral manifestations. On admission, at skin level, there was noticed a necrotic coccygeal ulceration (with rapid increasing dimensions 0.5/0.5 cm in 24 hours), and with the transformation from a dry necrosis in a sphacelus at the …
Emergency free flaps for the reconstruction of open injuries of the upper limb: A review
2004
Debridement of all necrotic and contaminated tissues followed by immediate soft: tissue coverage in order to obtain primary healing is nowadays the standard approach to all open injuries of the extremities. In 1977 Foucher et al. introduced for the first time the concept of immediate treatment at one time of all injured tissues in complex traumas of the upper limb. The final goal of this therapeutic approach is early postoperative mobilization of the hand and of the whole upper extremity. Any delay in treatment will lead to higher risk of infection, to granulation tissue formation and extended fibrosis, reduced flap survival rate, longer hospital stay, late rehabilitation and eventually to …
Sūnu daudzveidība uz atmirušās koksnes egļu mežos saistībā ar koksnes vecumu un substrāta īpašībām
2015
Atmirusī koksne ir specifisks un dinamisks substrāts. Tā kalpo kā dzīves vide daudzām retām un tieši šim substrātam specifiskām sūnu sugām, kas norāda uz nepieciešamību veikt detalizētus pētījumus par atmirušo koksni kā sūnām nozīmīgu substrātu. Pētījumā salīdzināts sūnu sugu un funkcionālo grupu sastāvs uz dažādiem atmirušās koksnes veidiem (kritalām, stumbeņiem, sausokņiem), analizēta sūnu sugu un funkcionālo grupu bagātība saistībā ar atmirušās koksnes vecumu un substrāta parametriem (izmēri, sadalīšanās pakāpe). Kopumā uz visiem atmirušās koksnes veidiem konstatētas 53 sūnu sugas (40 lapu un 13 aknu sūnas). Novērotas atšķirības sūnu sugu sastāvā starp kritalām un stāvošu atmirušo koksni…
