Testing the Modified Sediment Delivery Model (MOSEDD) at SPA2 Experimental Basin, Sicily (Italy)

2017

A new version of a spatially distributed sediment delivery model taking into account the hillslope sediment transport efficiency, named MOSEDD, is presented. This model gives estimates of basin sediment yield at event scale, which are more reliable than those obtained by the original SEDD. For SPA2 basin discretized into morphological units, four different calculation schemes of MOSEDD, including the original SEDD version, were applied. All parameterization schemes of the model were calibrated using 15 events measured at the outlet of the experimental basin in the period February 2005–February 2010. The model calibration was used to determine a relationship between the coefficient βe of the…

Western mediterranean archaeology: chemical element levels in archaeological materials as a methodological tool

2014

Una línea de desarrollo de las investigaciones arqueométricas, objeto de nuestro estudio, que presenta un amplia gama de potenciales aplicaciones metodológicas, al día de hoy conocidas solo en parte, es el análisis de los elementos químicos metálicos y no metálicos, ya sean los elementos mayoritarios, los elementos trazas y, más recientemente, los conocidos como “tierras raras” (por su nombre en inglés, Rare Earth Elements - REEs), que se han revelado útiles en nuestro estudio para la solución de algunos problemas arqueológicos. La posibilidad de poder actuar de forma sistemática, ha ayudado, por un lado, a conocer y desarrollar el potencial de estos elementos y, por otro, ha servido de sop…

Innovative In Situ and Ex Situ Conservation Strategies of the Madonie Fir Abies nebrodensis

2022

Abies nebrodensis (Lojac.) Mattei is an endemic species of the north-west of Sicily located in an 84 ha area in the Madonie Regional park. The current population is limited to 30 relic adult trees and a fluctuating number of juveniles of natural regeneration. The species is defined as “Critically Endangered” in the Italian list of threatened plants and is classified as CR-D in the 2000 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. This article reports the key action undertaken by the LIFE4FIR project aimed at preserving A. nebrodensis, and the results obtained so far in three years of activity. OpenArrays SNPs genotyping revealed a high rate of inbreeding in the natural population and that the adult…

Discussion of “Three Simple Flumes for Flow Measurement in Open Channels” by Zohrab Samani

2018

In this paper the results on three simple flumes for flow measurements are discussed.

Simple flume with a central baffle

2016

Abstract In this paper the stage-discharge relationship of a flume with a central baffle is theoretically deduced using the Buckingham-Theorem of the dimensional analysis and the self-similarity theory. The new stage-discharge equation is calibrated by the measurements carried out by Peruginelli and Bonacci using a baffle having a given throat length and five different values of the contraction ratio. Finally, for a given throat length, a relationship linking the discharge with the upstream water depth, the contraction ratio and the contracted width is deduced.

New Stage–Discharge Relationship for Triangular Broad-Crested Weirs

2022

Simple hydraulic structures, such as weirs, allow measuring flow discharge by using the upstream flow depth and a stage–discharge relationship. In this relationship, a discharge coefficient is introduced to correct all the effects neglected in the derivation (viscosity, surface tension, velocity head in the approach channel, flow turbulence, non-uniform velocity profile, and streamline curvature due to weir contraction). In this paper, the dimensional analysis and the incomplete self-similarity theory are used to investigate the outflow process of triangular broad-crested weirs, characterized by different values of the ratio between crest height p and channel width B, and to theoretic…

Comment on "Measuring the flow resistance of submerged grass"

2004

In this short note, the experimental data of Wilson and Horritt (2002.Hydrological Processes16: 2589–2598), jointlywith the measurements by Kouwenet al. (1969.Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Division, ASCE95: 329–342)and by Raffaelliet al. (2002 InProceedings XXVIII Convegno di Idraulica e Costruzioni Idrauliche, Cosenza, Italy;223–230), arefirstly used to test Kouwen’s approach. All experimental data are then used to calibrate aflow resistanceequation that was theoretically deduced by dimensional analysis and self-similarity theory

SELVICOLTURA ALPINA E SELVICOLTURA APPENNINICA: ELEMENTI DI CONTATTO E DI DIFFERENZIAZIONE

2009

Riassunto Il rapporto tra boschi e popolazioni locali sulle Alpi come sugli Appennini, seppur in momenti storici differenti, è stato caratterizzato dalla distruzione e sfruttamento intensivo, protrattisi fino alla metà del secolo scorso, cui hanno fatto seguito la ricostituzione sia mediante rimboschimenti sia con il miglioramento dei boschi esistenti. Partendo dai presupposti sui quali si è imperniata l’attività forestale che ha caratterizzato, nel corso degli ultimi cinquant’anni, l’approccio selvicolturale nei due contesti e da una puntuale e documentata analisi, nel lavoro vengono evidenziati gli elementi di differenziazione tra la selvicoltura naturalistica applicata in ambiente alpino…
