IL SOFTWARE IRRILAB PER IL RISPARMIO ENERGETICO NEL DIMENSIONAMENTO DEGLI IMPIANTI MICROIRRIGUI
2018
I software per il dimensionamento idraulico dei settori microirrigui disponibili in commercio assicurano un'elevata uniformità della distribuzione idrica. Essi con-sentono di individuare le caratteristiche dei gocciolatori che funzionano con pres-sioni di esercizio ricadenti all’interno di un prefissato campo di variabilità ammis-sibile (h < hamm). Tuttavia, a quest’ultima condizione, non sempre corrisponde la soluzione più economica e di massima efficienza energetica. Non è detto, infatti, che i gocciolatori sfruttino l’intero campo di variabilità della pressione prescelto (hamm). Nel lavoro, viene illustrato il software IrriLab che, per settori irrigui di forma rettangolare e comunque …
Essential Oils as Nematicides in Plant Protection-A Review
2023
By 2030, the European Commission intends to halve chemical pesticide use and its consequent risks. Among pesticides, nematicides are chemical agents used to control parasitic roundworms in agriculture. In recent decades, researchers have been looking for more sustainable alternatives with the same effectiveness but a limited impact on the environment and ecosystems. Essential oils (EOs) are similar bioactive compounds and potential substitutes. Different studies on the use of EOs as nematicides are available in the Scopus database in the scientific literature. These works show a wider exploration of EO effects in vitro than in vivo on different nematode populations. Nevertheless, a review o…
Assessment of the environmental quality of the Sicilian coast through a phytoecological and biogeographic analysis
2017
Large-scale habitat measurements have been aided greatly by advances in remote sensing and GIS software. However, the degree of resolution of this technique is still inadequate for many purposes, such as detail monitoring of many habitats that occur on the coast (e.g. temporary Mediterranean pools or ephemeral therophytic grasslands). Lists and distribution mapping of taxa are probably the most commonly used surrogate for overall biodiversity at both local and broader scales. For the Sicilian coasts a complete study, dating back more than 25 years ago and based on a multidisciplinary approach of flora, vegetation and fauna, exists (Raimondo & al. 1990. Quad. Bot. Amb. Appl. 1: 131-182).…
Geospatial modelling and map analysis allowed measuring regression of the upper limit of Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows under human pressure
2018
Abstract Marine coastal ecosystems are facing structural and functional changes due to the increasing human footprint worldwide, and the assessment of their long-term changes becomes particularly challenging. Measures of change can be done by comparing the observed ecosystem status to a purposely defined reference condition. In this paper, a geospatial modelling approach based on 2D mapping and morphodynamic data was used to predict the natural position of the upper limit (i.e., the landward continuous front) of Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows settled on soft bottom. This predictive model, formerly developed at the regional spatial scale, was here applied for the first time at the Medit…
Impact of COVID-19 on aquaculture sector in Malaysia: Findings from the first national survey
2021
Abstract Malaysian aquaculture sector consists of 391,000 t of cultivated organisms produced per year with an economic value for over USD 700 million as estimated in 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a large global human pandemic and it is currently ongoing, affecting profoundly Malaysian aquaculture, which is vital for seafood provision and security assurance. Thus, to increase our understanding about how the pandemic affects aquaculture sectors is crucial to design possible management measures both at local and national level. To do it, we designed a survey, starting in May 2020, consisting of 25 online questions to collect information about the impact of COVID-19 on the aquaculture sect…

Electronic Health Record in Italy and Personal Data Protection.
2016
The present article deals with the Italian Electronic Health Record (hereinafter ehr), recently introduced by Act 221/2012, with a specific focus on personal data protection. Privacy issues — e.g., informed consent, data processing, patients’ rights and minors’ will — are discussed within the framework of recent e-Health legislation, national Data Protection Code, the related Data Protection Authority pronouncements and eu law. The paper is aimed at discussing the problems arising from a complex, fragmentary and sometimes uncertain legal framework on e-Health.
Iteratively reweighted least squares in crystal structure refinements
2011
The use of robust techniques in crystal structure multipole refinements of small molecules as an alternative to the commonly adopted weighted least squares is presented and discussed. As is well known, the main disadvantage of least-squares fitting is its sensitivity to outliers. The elimination from the data set of the most aberrant reflections (due to both experimental errors and incompleteness of the model) is an effective practice that could yield satisfactory results, but it is often complicated in the presence of a great number of bad data points, whose one-by-one elimination could become unattainable. This problem can be circumvented by means of a robust least-squares regression that…
Valutazione dell’accessibilità con software open source
2012
L'accessibilità ha da sempre ricoperto un ruolo fondamentale per lo sviluppo delle società e per rendere sempre più agevoli gli spostamenti, a prescindere dalle cause che li originano. In questo articolo si vuole focalizzare l’attenzione sull’accessibilità ai terminal aeroportuali, in quanto la velocità e la facilità di accesso sono aspetti strategici per il trasporto aereo. Se il tempo di accesso ai terminal non fosse sufficientemente rapido, negli spostamenti a breve distanza, l’aereo perderebbe il vantaggio che ha sulle altre scelte modali. Lo scopo che ci si è posti nella ricerca è di valutare l’accessibilità territoriale attraverso l’uso di software GIS (Geographic Information System) …
