Abstract:
... Procida Island, located in the Gulf of Naples (southern Italy), is characterized by steep cliffed coasts, articulated in a succession of headlands and small embayments with narrow pocket beaches, such as Ciraccio and Chiaia, often characterized by instability. In this study, a methodology for coastal cliff susceptibility assessment has been conceived based on hydraulic and geomorphological charact ...

Abstract:
... In Calabria (Southern Italy) naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) mainly occurs in the ophiolitic sequences cropping in the Mount Reventino area. The most common type of asbestos detected was the amphibole tremolite; fibrous antigorite and minor chrysotile were also found. The development of asbestos-related diseases depends on, among other things, the morphological characteristics of fibers, length ...

Abstract:
... Tumours are nowadays the second world‑leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases. During the last decades of cancer research, lifestyle and random/genetic factors have been blamed for cancer mortality, with obesity, sedentary habits, alcoholism, and smoking contributing as supposed major causes. However, there is an emerging consensus that environmental pollution should be considered one ...

The increase in the incidence in hazelnut orchards observed during recent years in Central Italy is increasing the need for information and studies on its biology and ecology, and how environmental factors (e.g., temperature) influence its development. For this purpose, seven isolates from different provenances of M. coryli were ...
