Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease in preclinical studies. Direct evidence that this extends to humans is lacking.
Detectors are a key feature of the contemporary scientific approach to cultural heritage (CH), both for diagnostics and conservation. INFN-CHNet is network Italian National Institute Nuclear Physics that develops applies new instrumentation study CH. This process results in optimized traditional state-of-the-art highly innovative detection setups spectrometric techniques. Examples former X-rays, gamma-rays, visible-light particles spectrometers tailored CH applications, with performances,...
The effect of fire severity on Pinus pinaster growth and ecophysiological responses was evaluated in four burned sites Vesuvio National Park, Southern Italy. After the wildfire 2017, when over 1300 hectares vegetation, mainly P. woods, were destroyed, selected according to different degree a multidisciplinary approach based tree rings, stable isotopes percentage crown scorched or consumed applied. All sampled trees showed decrease particular latewood at high-severity site. dendrochronology...
This study showcases an attached-biomass system based on twin-layer technology for cultivating Galdieria phlegrea using municipal wastewater, equipped with a smart sensor the remote monitoring of operational parameters. From industrial scale-up perspective, offers high scalability, low impact and operating costs. Mathematical approximation modelling identified optimal growth conditions across five experiments. The theoretical yield was estimated to reach 1 kgDW/m2 biomass within two months....
Abstract This paper presents the results of palaeodietary reconstruction based on stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis bone collagen five medieval rural populations from Basque Country (northern Spain) spanning 5 th to 15 centuries ad . One hundred forty‐seven human 47 domestic faunal samples were successfully analysed with objective defining agrarian productive strategies food consumption patterns. The grouped sites in two clusters: one side Zaballa Treviño, whose inhabitants...
Algal based wastewater treatment offers the opportunity to recover, in form of biomass, nutrients and internal chemical energy wastewater. Recently, there has been a growing interest use extremophilic microalgae, as they can easily adapt difficult often pollutant-rich environments. The thermo-acidophilic microalga Galdieria phlegrea is species recent discovery great metabolic versatility, but it still poorly studied. Here, G. was cultivated using raw municipal 1 L Erlenmeyer flasks with 700...
Recent advances in the role played by dietary carbohydrates human food webs during Palaeolithic highlight that starchy foods were part of diet well before crop domestication. Although certain plants can be eaten raw, intentional processing such as mechanical reduction using stone tools and thermal treatment readily increases assimilation nutrients for metabolic functions storing. We present a multi-techniques approach designed to combine micro nanoscale analyses applied percussive stones...
The Mediterranean basin is an area particularly exposed to fire risk due its climate and fire-prone vegetation. In recent decades, the frequency intensity of wildfires increased, leading negative effects on forests, such as a decrease in tree growth or increase mortality, producing relevant loss carbon sequestration ecosystem service. This study impacts fires forests fundamental for planning adequate forest management strategies aimed at recovering restoring affected areas. this framework,...
The world's forests are currently facing the impacts of climate change and associated extreme events, which adversely affecting natural ecosystems increasing risks forest mortality. In Mediterranean region, where water is already a limiting factor, drought stress having severe impact on tree growth. Different species have developed physiological mechanisms to cope with drought, an increase in use efficiency has been observed several drought-tolerant species. This paper analysed growth trends...
Abstract Key message Juglans, Fraxinus, Quercus and Pinus species seem to better maximize the carbon–water ratio providing useful indications on selection for forestry plantations in areas with increasing drought risk. Maximizing carbon sequestration a given water budget is extremely important contest of climate change Mediterranean region, which characterized by temperatures rising stress. This issue fundamental plantation stands, where limited availability during growing season reduces CO...

The Selvicciola necropolis is a large burial site dated to the Copper Age, located on mid-Tyrrhenian side of Central Italy, in Fiora river valley. Despite post-depositional disturbances, 32 prehistoric tombs were found, generally good state preservation, with total number 119 individuals identified. In present study, radiocarbon and stable isotope measurements bone collagen are combined skeletal data for 71 these individuals. We aim investigate possible changes food practices patterns...
