Abstract In marine macrobenthos studies the identification of organisms at species level is best entry to ecological and biological information about animals. An accurate requires excellent conservation organisms, reliable fauna description, experts lengthy work in laboratory. The aim this test taxonomic sufficiency (TS) two deliberately selected different case understand whether how complexity a benthic assemblage influences results TS where it works better. first settlement was collected...
Abstract. Seagrass communities are considered one of the most productive and complex marine ecosystems. Seagrasses belong to a small group 66 species that can form extensive meadows in all coastal areas our planet. Posidonia oceanica beds characteristic ecosystem Mediterranean Sea, should be constantly monitored, preserved maintained, as specified by EU Habitats Directive for priority habitats. Underwater 3D imaging means still or video cameras allow detailed analysis temporal evolution...
Anthropogenic impacts on Posidonia oceanica meadows have led to a decline of this ecosystem throughout the Mediterranean. Transplantations often been prescribed as compensation measure mitigate caused by coastal maritime works. Here Q methodology approach was used investigate stakeholders’ attitudes in four case studies P. transplants realized Italian waters. Twenty-two respondents were asked score 37 statements, and resultant Q-sorting analyzed via an inverse PCA using KADE software. Four...
The loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta (Linnaeus, 1758), is the most common turtle species in Mediterranean Sea, where it can experience severe anthropogenic impacts. Although C. known to host more than 200 epibiotic taxa (crustaceans, algae and cyanobacteria), no reports have included a detailed evaluation of microbial community its carapace scutes. Thus, this study aimed determine diversity composition visible invisible communities on scutes wild turtles from Aeolian Archipelago...
The aim of the study was to evaluate effectiveness application multiple environmental descriptors through an asymmetrical sampling design detect possible impacts related Costa Concordia event on coastal marine environment. shipwreck occurred a submerged rocky reef in north-western Mediterranean Sea and wreck removed 2 years later. To achieve proposed objective two main ecosystems, seagrass Posidonia oceanica coralligenous assemblages were studied using ecological indices, PREI ESCA,...
Mixed-Integer Formulations for Power Production Problems The unit commitment problem is a complex mixed-integer nonlinear program that originates in the field of power production. Although it arises monopolistic system, there still great attention to this even free-market regime, where constitutes only subproblem larger ones. Historically, was usually solved by Lagrangian relaxation methods. However, advances achieved commercial solvers (linear and convex) programming problems have made such...
The first offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Italy and the gravity based structure (GBS) world for unloading, storing re-gasifying gas, was authorized realized. Institute Environmental Protection Research (ISPRA, formerly ICRAM) formulated implemented a multidisciplinary monitoring plan at verifying possible impacts of project on marine environment. Data from June 2006 to July 2012 soft-bottom macrozoobenthic assemblages around LNG are presented, with aim disturbances these...
Decapod crustaceans are important components of the fauna soft-bottom habitats. In this work, records decapod provided through analysis a large benthic macroinvertebrates dataset Central Mediterranean Sea. crustacean assemblages were collected in last twenty years by Van Veen grab 42 study sites located along Italian coasts at depths ranging from 1 up to 120 m. The spatial distribution examined, which include species belonging 40 families, was investigated according biogeographical zones...

Delile prairie: the study case Fiume Santo (NW Sardinia, Italy).Coastal areas are complex systems where both marine ecosystems and human activity interrelate, often raising several conflicts. The economic activities may, sometimes, disturb functioning stability coastal ecosystems, particularly seagrass meadows, menace their future...
Abstract Blood donations are crucial for the health system. We consider problem of planning blood donation services, where donors reached at home. The scope is to minimize penalty unserved donors, while guaranteeing that available resources implementing service not exceeded and appointment preferences met. present an offline model this setting, produced solution must be robust with respect availability which known in advance managed a stochastic way using scenarios. A Benders decomposition...
