Losing an Unexpected Throne: Deposing Second Sons of the Stuart Dynasty
2017
Two second sons of the Stuart dynasty who came as unexpected heirs to the throne lost their crown in depositions . Both of these kings, Charles I and James II , had a strong belief in a personal kingship over loyal subjects, which was at odds with the English concept of King-in-Parliament and the possibilities for subjects to participate in the rule of the kingdom. Charles I and James II lacked the natural confidence of born kings, and both tried to overcome this deficiency by overemphasizing their royal dignity. In doing so, they never realized that the generally accepted idea of a divine right of kings was to be articulated and represented, but not implemented in politics.
Cultural and socio-economic impacts of Mediterranean marine protected areas
2000
Marine protected areas (MPAs) may be important for protecting the marine environment, but they may also have substantial socio-cultural impacts about which very little is currently known, or acknowledged. In the Mediterranean, few data are available on the socio-economic consequences of MPAs. The present study reviews the existing data on MPAs in Spain, France, Italy and Greece. A general increase in tourist activities in Mediterranean MPAs is evident, as are increases in the abundances of larger fish species, although there are no data indicating yields for fisheries increase adjacent to MPAs. A large increase in the number of divers and vessels using MPAs has already had impacts on natura…
Pathophysiological Responses to a Record-Breaking Multi-hour Underwater Endurance Performance: A Case Study
2021
The “Endless Diving Project-Step 36” took place in the harbor waters of the town of Maratea in Italy in September 2014. The goal of the project was an attempt by an experienced male diver, equipped with a wet 7-mm suit and a normal gas tank, to set the world record-breaking of nonstop underwater performance. We studied inflammatory, hematological, and endocrine responses during the extreme condition of the attempt. Venous blood samples were collected at baseline, the day before the attempt; immediately after the return from underwater; then at Day 1, Day 4, and Day 12; and later at Month 1 and Month 41 of follow-up. We found that there was an increase in the content of blood neutrophils, mo…
An Atypical Case of Taravana Syndrome in Mediterraneo
2010
Dysbaric accidents are usually referred to compressed air-supplied diving. Nonetheless, diving accidents are known to have occurred among breath-hold divers also and some cases are reported in medical literature. A male professional breath hold diver (57 year old) presented neurological disorders as dizziness, sensory numbness, blurred vision and left phronto-parietal pain after many dives to a 30-35 meters seawater depth. He went home after the regression of the symptoms and runned 8 Km the following morning. Pain, sensory numbness and dizziness occurred after running. He went by himself to the hospital where he had a grand mal seizure and lost consciousness. A magnetic resonance imaging o…
ROAD project: Robotics for assisted diving
2014
The activities associated to underwater diving are of great importance in many areas. In the second half of the last century, diving technologies have greatly progressed, but diving is still characterized by significant risks, especially for professional divers who works at high depth, and limited practicability. The use of robotic systems and automatic procedures would allow, as in other situations where safety is of concern (for example, in case of hazardous works or in relation to hostile environments), a reliable monitoring and assessment of the physiological conditions of human operators during their activities. Moving from currently available technologies in underwater robotics, the R…

Discussion of “Laboratory and field calibration of the Diviner 2000 probe in two types of soil” by J. Haberland, PhD, R. Galvez, C. Kremer, PhD, and …
2014
The authors deal with the quite interesting and actual problem of Diviner 2000 capacitance probe calibration and present some field and laboratory data obtained on two different layers (0-0.26 cm and 0.26-0.50 cm) of the same soil profile, characterized by different textural class. The importance of site-specific calibration of sensors used to monitor soil or plant water status assumes a particular relevance in semi-arid environments where the application of precision irrigation represents an appropriate management strategy aimed to achieve high values of water use efficiency (Cammalleri et al., 2013). Moreover in clay soils, physical properties are strongly influenced by soil water content…

Cephalopod prey of two Ziphius cavirostris (Cetacea) stranded on the western Mediterranean coast
2000
The stomach contents of two Cuvier's beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris), male and female, stranded on the western Mediterranean coast were analysed. Food consisted exclusively of hard cephalopod remains. The character of this teuthophagous diet agrees with the offshore and deep diving behaviour of Z. cavirostris.
