Abstract:
... The European mole Talpa europaea Linnaeus, 1758 is a quite common species in Central Italy. I report the first Isabelline individual of this species recorded in the scientific literature. Actually, this species is quite widespread throughout Europe, but coat-colouration anomalies have never been described in Central Italian mole populations. Further research is therefore needed to determine the pe ...

Abstract:
... In recent years, increasing attention to the utilisation of Front-Of-Pack Labels (FOPLs) as a tool to prompt individuals towards healthier food choices has been observed both in regulatory bodies and academic research. However, few theoretical models have been used to understand their role in consumer decision-making, as well as the antecedents that induce individuals to accept the information pro ...

Abstract:
... Moment tensor inversions of broadband velocity data are usually managed by adopting Green's functions for 1D layered seismic wave speed models. This assumption can impact on source parameter estimates in regions with complex 3D heterogeneous structures and discontinuities in rock properties. In this work, we present a new centroid moment tensor (CMT) catalog for the Amatrice‐Visso‐Norcia (AVN) sei ...

Abstract:
... Two greedy algorithms for the synthesis and approximation of multidomain systems of partially ordered data are proposed. Given k input partially ordered sets (posets) on the same elements, the algorithms search for the optimally approximating partial orders, minimizing the dissimilarity between the generated and input posets, based on their matrices of mutual ranking probabilities. A general appro ...

Abstract:
... The statistical characterization of extreme floods largely benefits from the reconstruction of historical floods, making use of various documentary sources and of hydrodynamic models. The two-dimensional (2D) modelling approach provides a higher accuracy and detail with respect to one-dimensional (1D) modelling. On the other hand, 2D models require a large amount of topographic and hydraulic infor ...

Abstract:
... The European Landscape Convention marked an epistemological turn by emphasising the role of personal experience developed within socially constructed frames of reference. The landscape, therefore, should be regarded as a common good, crucial for personal and collective well-being, which implies a commitment of a political nature. This entails widespread awareness, as well as updated technical skil ...

Abstract:
... The decarbonisation of residential heat through integration with the power system and deployment of refurbishment policies is at the core of European energy policies. Yet, heat-electricity integration may be challenged, in practice, by the large variability of heat demand across weather years.

Organic farming is supported in the European Union (EU), among others, via area-based organic payments, targeting better environmental standards, as well as consumers’ demand for organic products. Despite the wide interest growing on hazelnut production in non-traditional production areas in Italy, supply of organic hazelnuts remains negligible. At the same time, evidences show that Italian farmer ...
