ABSTRACT Shotgun metagenomics provides a powerful assumption-free approach to the recovery of pathogen genomes from contemporary and historical material. We sequenced metagenome calcified nodule skeleton 14th-century middle-aged male excavated medieval Sardinian settlement Geridu. obtained 6.5-fold coverage Brucella melitensis genome. Sequence reads this genome showed signatures typical ancient or aged DNA. Despite relatively low coverage, we were able use information single-nucleotide...
Preliminary analysis of an archaeological site requires the acquisition information by several diverse diagnostic techniques. Remote sensing plays important role especially in spatially extended and not easily accessible sites for purposes preventive rescue archaeology, landscape intervention planning. In this paper, we present a case study detailed topographic survey based on light detection ranging (LiDAR) sensor carried unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV; also known as drone). The...
Dense plasma foci are the most efficient devices in production of fast neutrons proceeding from deuterium nuclear fusion reactions. This work deals with experiments a small focus machine and attempts to distinguish thermal origin non-thermal neutrons, search for possible sources both.
Sleep is a significant dimension of daily life. However, only few studies have examined the sleep quality asthmatics in real-world clinical settings.This study aimed to estimate prevalence impairments among asthmatic patients and examine relationship between quality, asthma control, rhinitis symptoms, sociodemographic characteristics.The present adopted observational cross-sectional research design that has been designed by Italian Respiratory Society used valid assessments measure...

Abstract. In this work some Unmanned Aerial Systems applications are discussed and applied to archaeological sites survey 3D model reconstructions. Interesting results shown for three important different aged on north Sardinia (Italy). An easy simplified procedure has proposed permitting the adoption of multi-rotor aircrafts daily during excavation documentation, involving state art in UAS design, flight control systems, high definition sensor cameras innovative photogrammetric software...
This paper discusses and underlines the importance of investigations on post-medieval shipwrecks, particularly for wrecks where archival documentation is also available, in relation to gaining a better knowledge tin-glazed tableware produced Montelupo (Florence, Tuscany). The case Mortella II interesting this sense shows how an exact dating wreck can allow revision chronologies ceramic classes found board. In majolica Montelupo, these ceramics with great diffusion (Europe, Americas, Africa)...
Abstract The skeletal remains of a male aged 45–55 years displaying several bone anomalies were unearthed from the Alghero (Sardinia) plague cemetery ‘lo Quarter’, burial site dating back to 1582–1583 AD outbreak. skeleton, whose stature is about 165 cm, presents bilateral hyperostosis with increased diameter diaphyses all long bones upper and lower limbs; metaphyses appear be involved, while epiphyses are spared. Marked thickening cranial vault also evident. Radiological study showed...
We analyzed the archaeobotanical remains from Mediterranean Medieval village of Geridu (Sardinia-Italy) in order: (1) to formulate hypotheses concerning different uses woody plants; (2) reconstruct distribution patterns charcoals and compare them with results archeological interpretation (3) describe agricultural activities cultural landscape around village. In total, 29 plant taxa were identified 14 carpological remains. The number ubiquity correlated each other (rp = 0.735; n 29). Only...
Archaeological excavations carried out in the plague cemetery of 16th century Alghero (Sardinia) brought to light skeleton a male aged 35-45 years, showing anomalies atlas. A macroscopic and radiological study has been out. The first cervical vertebra is fused with skull base, resulting an occipitalisation Absence costal element left foramen transversarium, open anterior posterior arch defect are also observed. atlanto-occipital junction complex structure, susceptible develop different...
ABSTRACT Archaeological excavations carried out in the Medieval village of Geridu (Sardinia) uncovered several burials dating to late 13th or first half 14th century. Among these individuals, skeleton an adult female showing a bilateral abnormal shortness fourth metatarsal bone was identified. Bilaterality and absence other skeletal anomalies allow rule acquired aetiology disease support diagnosis congenital brachymetatarsia. Such rare deformity has clinical incidence 0.02% 0.05%, with...
Study Design. A paleopathological case of posterior arch defect the atlas associated to absence costal element foramen transversarium. Objective. In living patients as well in postmortem analysis it should be difficult distinguish between a congenital and an acquired anomaly. Any anomaly anatomy taken into consideration by clinicians, surgeons, radiologists, anatomists order avoid misinterpretations clinical complications. Summary Background Data. Posterior has current occurrence...
Abstract A child aged 3.5 to 4.5 years, exhumed from the cemetery of Alghero that is referable plague outbreak 1582–83, showed remarkable dental anomalies in permanent dentition. In particular, central incisors exhibited large hypoplastic pits, and first molars were characterized by a honeycomb appearance with areas missing enamel. Microtomographic analysis revealed very low values enamel volume, while dentin volumes crowns mainly preserved; chemical high levels mercury hard tissues. The...
La activación por captura neutrónica de nucleos atomicos componentes sustancias y el subsiguiente registro del espectro radiación gamma instantánea y/o decaimiento temprano característico emitida los mismos, constituye una técnica análisis no destructivo extremadamente sensible que posibilita tanto identificarlos como determinarlos cuantitativamente. Para esta finalidad, se requiere irradiarlos con haces neutrones cuyas energías estén típicamente comprendidas en rangos térmicos epitérmicos....
