Rurange-lès-Thionville (Lorraine, Moselle) : évolution architecturale, production et consommation végétale sur un petit établissement rural médiomatr…
2016
Archaeological surveys by test trenching and two preventive excavations of the Institut national de recherches archéologiques préventives (Inrap) in 2001 and 2008 preceding the construction of a housing area in Rurange-lès-Thionville (Lorraine, Moselle) allowed documenting and investigating a Gallo-Roman farmstead of modest size. This farmstead, covering a total surface of more than 7000 m², was composed of different buildings typical for a Gallo-Roman agricultural exploitation. The study of this building complex has allowed gaining remarkable results demonstrating the evolution of a Gallo-Roman farmstead from the Augustan-Tiberian period until its abandonment during the 4th century AD. The…
A regional-scale discontinuity in western Sicily revealed by a multidisciplinary approach: A new piece for understanding the geodynamic puzzle of the…
2015
The results of an integrated stratigraphic, structural, geophysical, and geochemical study reveal the presence of a crustal discontinuity in western Sicily that, at present, runs roughly N-S along a band from San Vito Lo Capo to Sciacca. The boundary between the two zones of this discontinuity is nearly orthogonal to the main thrust propagation of the Sicilian thrust-and-fold belt. The different Permian to Tertiary sedimentary evolution recorded by the two zones appears related to this discontinuity, with thick carbonate platforms in the western sector facing deepwater successions in the eastern one. The presence of Upper Triassic reefs, huge megabreccia bodies, and widespread submarine vol…
Estudios estratégicos para la lucha contra la fascioliasis humana a nivel mundial = Strategic studies for the fight against de human fascioliasis wor…
2013
Fascioliasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica. Emergence of human fascioliasis prompted a worldwide control initiative including a pilot study in several countries. Given the necessity to characterize the fasciolid populations involved, the overall aim of the present research is, first, the phenotypic characterization of faciolid adults and eggs implicated in human endemic areas, where this initiative has been implemented, through a computer image analysis system (CIAS) applied on the basis of standardized measurements. Second, new immunological techniques and their potential use as immunological diagnostic tests in those areas are evaluated. The …
Tell el-'Abd II. Pottery and Potmarks at an Early Urban Settlement of the Middle Euphrates River Valley, Syria. Final Reports of the Syrian-German ex…
2013
The monograph investigates the breakdown of the Uruk world-system towards the end of the 4th millennium BCE, and the roots of secondary state formation in the Middle Euphrates region through the analysis of continuity and change in the Early Bronze ceramic material from the site of Tell el-‘Abd (Tabqa Dam, Syria). This analysis fills a chronological gap for the early third millennium, a period poorly known in the district downstream from Carchemish. It further includes the study of over 1300 potter’s marks, thus offering new insight into the intra- and inter-site organization of pottery production and into a complex and variegated system of visual communication active at a regional level be…
Zbiorowiska roślinne doliny Czerwonej Wody w Parku Narodowym Gór Stołowych
2018
The Czerwona Woda River is the main watercourse in the Stołowe Mountains National Park and drains the major part of the Stołowe Mts. It was regulated in the past, but its channel has been spontaneously naturalized. Now, managed spruce forests grow along almost the entire length of this small mountain stream. The aims of the present study were to investigate diversity of plant communities connected with the Czerwona Woda stream and to prepare detailed vegetation maps. The results obtained can potentially be a reference for future restoration projects implemented in the Stołowe Mountains National Park. As a result of vegetation mapping, there were distinguished 20 plant communities representa…
Salt exploitation, communication routes and territory during the Iron Age around the Cabriel river valley
2020
La sal era un recurso fundamental en la economía de las sociedades antiguas y cada vez tenemos más datos sobre su aprovechamiento y explotación durante la Edad del Hierro en ámbito peninsular. La comarca de Requena-Utiel, en el interior de la provincia de Valencia, presenta la mayor abundancia de salinas continentales históricas del territorio valenciano. Por otro lado, en La Manchuela conquense se localiza la importante mina de sal de Minglanilla-La Pesquera. El hallazgo de material arqueológico ibérico en algunas de estas explotaciones sirve como punto de partida para analizar sus características y ver cómo pudieron quedar integradas en el patrón de asentamiento, así como en una densa red…
The spatial structure of the landscape and ecological system of nature protection in the Upper Oder Valley
2017
The study evaluates the spatial structure of the landscape in the Upper Oder valley along a section of about 100 km. It is a part of the valley with the strongest anthropopressure. According to the theory of ecosystem services, one of the functions of the Oder valley landscape is protection of its biodiversity. It is fulfilled by protecting valuable relicts of pristine ecosystems of the valley and by ensuring the function of an ecological corridor. The most important in it are riparian forests and oak-hornbeam forests, meadows, swamps, peatbogs and old river beds. The spatial structure of the landscape within the test section of the Oder valley is characterized by a considerable mosaic. The…
L’opposizione alto/basso nella toponomastica dell’area subalpina
2015
Il contributo proposto esamina la presenza e la distribuzione di alcune serie toponimiche correlate ai concetti ‘alto’ e ‘basso’ sul territorio piemontese, cercando di evidenziare le possibili valenze a livello denotativo e connotativo. Le risorse offerte dal sistema ToP-GIS, elaborato all’interno del Centro Studi di Onomastica dell’Università di Torino, permettono un sistematico rilevamento dei dati e una lettura del territorio su più piani; nell’interpretazione del sistema si è adottata una prospettiva diacronica, illustrando le forme toponomastiche riconducibili a realtà linguistiche prelatine e a varietà romanze diverse dall’italiano. Insistendo sulle tracce medievali, si evidenzia inol…

First report on the helminthfauna of the yellow-necked mouse, Apodemus flavicollis, in the Iberian Peninsula
2016
Summary Information about the prevalence of helminth parasites of the yellow-necked mouse, Apodemus flavicollis, in the Iberian Peninsula is almost non-existent and there is no reliable data reported from Spain. Fourteen A. flavicollis from the Erro River valley (Navarre, Spain) were examined for endoparasites, between February 2001 and July 2002. Thirteen specimens (92.9 %) of the total sample were parasitized by at least one of the following six helminth species: one trematode (Corrigia vitta), one cestode (Taenia parva larvae) and four nematodes (Trichuris muris, Calodium hepaticum, Heligmosomoides polygyrus and Syphacia stroma). This is the first report about the helminthfauna of A. fla…
