Abstract Phonological skills are foundational of reading acquisition and impaired phonological processing is widely assumed to characterize dyslexic individuals. However, by decoding also requires rapid selection sublexical orthographic units through serial attentional orienting, recent studies have shown that visual spatial attention in children. Our study investigated these different neurocognitive dysfunctions, before acquisition, a sample preschoolers including children with ( N =20)...
The Ligurian Sea is a deep basin in the northernmost sector of western Mediterranean which shows peculiar hydrodynamic and meteo-oceanographic features. coasts are among most urbanised industrialised along Italian coastline: main causes disturbance being littoral urban development harbour activities, building rail- highways, presence several polluted discharges. This review, by evaluating huge scientific output published last three decades, describes discusses important geological,...
The EnergyLife mobile interface incorporates lessons from environmental psychology and feedback intervention to relay information appliance sensors, offering a gaming environment that rewards users for decreased electricity consumption.
EnergyLife is a mobile game application that aims at increasing energy awareness and saving in the household; it centers around feedback system with detailed, historical real time information based on wireless power sensors data. The challenge to provide through knowledge motivation for sustainable saving. A three-month field test eight households was organized EnergyLife. involved automatic collection of access data application, administration satisfaction questionnaires, interviews,...
Integrated remote sensing techniques, such as photogrammetry from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), mobile laser scanners (MLS) and multibeam echosounders (MBES), are particularly effective in detecting measuring coastal seabed features their modifications over time (4D analysis) induced by sea storms. In fact, these techniques allow the production of very high-resolution 3D models, with a continuum between above below level. The present research is focused on area Portosole Marina (Sanremo,...
The review of recent bathymetric and geophysical data collected in the framework several research cartographic projects have allowed a detailed reconstruction morpho-structural setting (neo)tectonic evolution for both Alpine Apennine margins Ligurian Sea (Italy). widespread occurrence erosional processes sediment mass movements along steep continental slope within system submarine canyons reflect close correlation between active tectonics morpho-dynamic Margin. This relation is better...
We propose an intelligent sensor system based on a new sensing methodology, relying also 3D map reconstruction techniques, for computing with high precision, in real-time and without human intervention the parameters needed stream-flow computation: water levels, morphology of streams all potentially flooded areas by each controlled stream.The collected data will be continuously transmitted, through communication infrastructure, to software agents designed compute quantify spatial...
We present the characterization of geohazard-related features Ligurian Sea with map its physiographic domains (1:250,000 scale) and five maps (1:100,000 morphological morpho-bathymetric elements. These were realized in framework MaGIC (Marine Geohazard along Italian Coasts) project, promoted by Civil Protection Department. The submarine geohazards continental margins, together mapping marine geological are critical for management coastal risks. Multibeam bathymetric data combined...
Seismic lines and sediment cores collected along the shelf between Albenga Loano (Liguria, NW Italy) allowed an unprecedented reconstruction of characters distribution late Quaternary transgressive littoral deposits. Multiple seismic datasets stratigraphic logs were managed within a single, GIS-based software. This approach merging, analysis, interpretation multimethodological datasets, greatly increasing understanding study area. On reflection lines, identification high-amplitude acoustic...
Geomorphological survey and mapping of the emerged submerged coastal areas, particularly addressed to evaluate sea cliff instability within assessment hazard risk mitigation measures, require high resolution georeferenced spatial data. Remote sensing techniques fully satisfy these needs allow obtain all information in a single short-lived campaign. An integrated by means laser scanner multibeam coupled with aerial photos interpretation has been experienced along rocky coast Gallinara Island...
The response of the Antarctic ice sheet to climate warming is main source uncertainty regarding future global sea level rise, since little known about its present and past dynamics. last deglaciation most recent interval large-scale warming, during which Northern Southern Hemisphere sheets retreated, rose globally, although at a non-uniform rate. Geologic records from polar regions are fundamental in determining factors that caused major changes deglacial under different boundary conditions....
The north Ligurian margin is a complex geological area in many ways. It has witnessed several phases of highly contrasting deformation styles, at both crustal scale and that shallower cover tectonics, simultaneously or quick succession, with significant spatial variability. This interplay mirrored the resulting intricate structures make it hard to identify active faults responsible for both, seismicity observed, tectonic inversion undergone by margin, identified longer time scales on...
Abstract The Ligurian continental shelf is a terrigenous platform characterized by variable extension and subsidence of the margin thick accumulation sediments originated repeated sea-level oscillations. Its genesis evolution occurred during Plio-Quaternary, even if early erosive modelling in some sectors has been dated to Late Miocene. present morphology result transgressive–regressive Quaternary cycles. Using high-resolution seismic grid more than 1000 km, we have able define...
