Deciphering biotic interactions and their role in soil microbial community assembly
2021
National audience; Soil microbial communities play key roles in ecosystem functioning. Yet, little is known aboutthe importance of microbe-microbe interactions in soil microbial community assembly andfunctions. To address this knowledge gap, the objective of my thesis is to assess the role ofinteractions between micro-organisms in soil microbial communities. For this purpose, we willmanipulate the interactions between microorganisms within complex soil microbialcommunities by (i) removing different members of the soil community, (ii) adding microbialtaxa to the soil community and (iii) increasing the physical distance between members of thesoil community. How shifts in microbial interaction…
Diversity and complexity of microbial communities from a chlor-alkali tailings dump
2015
Abstract Revegetation of the tailings dumps produced by various industrial activities is necessary to prevent dust storms and erosion and represents a great challenge for ecological restoration. Little is known about the microbial colonisation and community structure of revegetated tailings following site exploitation. Here, we report the sequencing of 16S rRNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) fungal RNA gene amplicons from chlor-alkali residue and from an adjacent undisturbed soil to define the composition and assembly of the rhizosphere microbial communities. After quality filtering, a total of 72,373 and 89,929 bacterial sequences and 122,618 and 111,209 fungal sequences remained fo…
Entre destructions et reconstructions, le patrimoine sicilien pendant et après la Seconde Guerre mondiale
2020
Dans cette contribution, nous présentons les traces sur le terrain et dans les archives d’un bombardement survenu à Solonte dans la nuit du 12 décembre 1942. Le point de départ de cette recherche est une photographie conservée dans les archives du Musée archéologique régional Antonio Salinas, documentant la restauration d’une citerne de Solonte suite aux bombardements alliés. Nos recherches dans les archives ont permis de reconstituer la chronologie des faits et de mettre en lumière le rôle des Surintendants des Antiquités de la Sicile occidentale, Jole Bovio Marconi puis Vincenzo Tusa, pendant et après la guerre pour protéger le patrimoine culturel. Solonte, comme d’autres sites siciliens,…
Contributi per città storiche accessibili tra didattica, ricerca e nuove prassi
2021
The essay is the introduction to the section of the volume 'Accessibility to the historical city' in which innovative essays on the dialectics between Conservation and Accessibility have converged, in the major Italian cities in which common reflections emerge on the need to develop the theme in an interdisciplinary approach, to devise a for-all planning coordinated with urban planning and territorial development dynamics, and to pursue targeted training for community-integrated specialists.
Presby-ring implantācija kā metode dabīgās akomodācijas spējas uzlabošanai un atjaunošanai pie presbiopijas
2016
Mūsdienās presbiopijas korekcija ir aktuāla, jo pieaug vidējā dzīvildze kā arī pieprasījums pēc labas dzīves kvalitātes. Pastāv vairākas presbiopijas terapijas iespējas, bet nav noteiktas vienas efektīvas ķirurģiskas metodes, kas sekmē pilnīgu presbiopijas korekciju. Pētījuma mērķis. Novertēt jaunu ķirurģiskās metodes efektivitāti presbiopijas korekcijai, lai uzlabotu akomodācijas spēju. Materiāli un metodes. Prospektīvs pētījums, kurā tika iekļauti pacienti, kas ambulatori vēlējās uzlabot savu redzi tuvumā laika posmā no 2015.gada septembra līdz 2016.gada martam. No atlases kritērijiem pētījumā piedalījās 12 pacienti (sešas sievietes un seši vīrieši) jeb 24 acis. Diviem pacientiem jeb divā…
Restoration of the feudal castle of Ventimiglia family in Castelbuono (PA)
2014
This paper concerns the restoration of the castle of Ventimiglia family in Castelbuono; the initial part, come from the medieval period (XIVth century), underwent considerable transformations in the XVth century by Giovanni Ventimiglia, Count of Geraci. He transformed the old castle, which is primarily defensive, in their own home and restored the chapel dedicated to S. Anna, then reconfigured in 1683. Since the XIXth century the castle had a progressive deterioration and in 1920 it was purchased by the Municipality of Castelbuono. The postwar years were characterized of a further deterioration of the castle; it was remedied with partial actions since 1978. These interventions have been coo…
Viollet-le-Duc e la scoperta delle origini dell’architettura gotica
2017
Nella ricorrenza del secondo centenario della nascita, questo studio vuole mettere in evidenza alcuni aspetti ancora poco esplorati della formazione di Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, che hanno influenzato in modo fondamentale le sue ricerche. Ci si riferisce particolarmente all’interesse per la produzione artistica del Medioevo a cui lo studioso francese dedicherà le sue energie di ricercatore instancabile nel tentativo di trovare provenienze, derivazioni ed evoluzione dell’architettura gotica che rappresenterà anche lo stile ideale a cui riferirsi per collocarsi all’avanguardia della produzione architettonica del proprio tempo. Le naturali inclinazioni, la formazione liceale e la speciali…
Cluny: de la gestion de données à la réalité augmentée
2007
Cluny III was the greatest abbey of the Christendom until the construction of Saint-Peters of Roma in the 17th century. Unfortunately, the Order of Cluny was broke up with the French revolution, and the church became a stone pit carry. Until 2010, for the commemoration of the Cluny foundation, a great restoration yard has begun. It is composed of two parts: Hézelon which is the restoration and development program for the patrimony of Cluny; and Gunzo, which is a research assembly on new image technologies, for knowledge and valorisation of the site. To facilitate the comprehension of this patrimony, and to allow the public to access its past, augmented reality features had been developed.
Offsetting harmful ecological impacts by restoring conservation areas
2019
Ihmistoiminnasta aiheutuvat ekologisesti haitalliset vaikutukset voidaan kompensoida tuottamalla luonnon kannalta hyötyjä, esimerkiksi ennallistamalla elinympäristöjä tai perustamalla uusia luonnonsuojelualueita. Elinympäristön ennallistaminen mahdollistaa elinympäristön palautumisen kohti luonnontilaa. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, voitaisiinko jo aiemmin suojelluilla alueilla tehtävällä ennallistamisella saavuttaa ekologisessa kompensaatiossa tarvittava luontohyöty. Voi ehkä vaikuttaa siltä, että tällä tavoin tuotetut hyödyt eivät ole luonnon kannalta lisäisiä, koska toimenpiteet kohdistuvat alueisiin, jotka ovat jo suojeltu. Suomessa on kuitenkin tällä hetkellä monia suo…
Thresholds in selection of breeding habitat by the Eurasian treecreeper (Certhia familiaris)
2005
Abstract Assessment of habitat thresholds is a topical issue in ecology, both from theoretical and applied perspectives. We examined how forest structure influences selection of breeding habitat in the Eurasian treecreeper (Certhia familiaris). It is an old-growth forest passerine, which can be considered an umbrella species. Habitat selection data, covering five breeding seasons, were collected from a study area across three spatial scales: (a) territory core scale (a radius of 30 m), (b) territory scale (a radius of 200 m) and (c) large scale (a radius of 500 m). Logistic regression analyses revealed that the radii of 30 and 200 m from the nest were the most important spatial scales for t…
