Windstorms are considered the main disturbing abiotic agent in European forests. They affect a multiplicity of forest-related dimensions, such as forest ecology, operations, geomorphology, economy, and socio-cultural aspects. Due to complex dynamics set off by windstorms, design post-windstorm management should be characterized an interdisciplinary approach able address multiple environmental social needs. However, scientific literature investigating impacts windstorms on forests appears...
Isolates of Candida albicans from the oral cavities subjects at different stages human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or uninfected controls were examined for (i) production aspartic proteinase(s), a putative virulence-associated factor(s); (ii) presence in fungal genome two major genes (SAP1 and SAP2) proteinase family; (iii) experimental pathogenicity murine model systemic infection. It was found that isolates symptomatic patients secreted, on average, up to eightfold more than...
The expression of a strongly immunomodulatory mannoprotein complex (GMP) in the different forms growth human commensal and opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans was studied using monoclonal antibody (mAb AF1) directed against an oligosaccharide epitope GMP. Immunofluorescence revealed that surface yeast cells highly reactive with mAb AF1, but reactivity greatly reduced or disappeared during mycelial conversion. This modulation shared by number strains C. albicans, not solely temperature-...
Gravel-bed rivers are fluvial systems featuring highly complex morphological and evolutionary patterns because of their configuration characterized by the contemporary presence many distinct units. Complexity can also be observed in response gravel-bed to flow conditions, which varied. This work aims analyze evolution gravel vegetated areas a river during period persistent low focusing on responses exhibited different types riparian vegetation. To this end, 2200 m-long segment Piave River...
The term connective tissue diseases (CTD) defines a group of illnesses characterized by the presence immune abnormalities and widespread inflammation involving various organs tissues including lung. These are not frequent in paediatric age group. Very few data on pulmonary function available CTD. We investigated possible early lung any likely relationship with clinical activity disease 81 CTD patients, without or radiological evidence involvement. Measurement volumes diffusion capacity were...
In the last decade with increasing frequency of extreme weather events, an accurate, sustainable, and effective planning torrent control structures has become essential to reduce hydro-geomorphic risk. Quite often in interventions, there is a lack information on effectiveness existing structures, evolution ongoing process, priori in-depth study analyze sediment morphology dynamics interaction possible structures. Nowadays, High-Resolution Topography data (HRT) greatly simplifies monitoring...
Mountain streams are frequently characterized by step–pool morphology that provides stability and energy dissipation to the channel network. Large flooding events can overturn equilibrium of condition altering entire configuration. This work focuses on impact “Vaia” storm (27–30 October 2018) a mountain stream (Rio Cordon, Northeast Italy) its evolution after two years ordinary flow conditions. To achieve aims, this uses both remote sensing data (LiDAR UAV) direct field measurements (i.e.,...
In mountain basins, the predominant approach to control supply and transport of large volumes sediment involves installation hydraulic structures within channel network. While torrent works are fundamental in reducing flash flood impacts, their effectiveness during time need regular monitoring maintenance. However, few studies have proposed a workflow based on simple factors criteria collected field prioritize management interventions basin. this work, aims assess quantify impact continuity...
