Abstract:
... This work aims to evaluate the effects of different environmental factors (i.e., geographical, chemical, and hydrological) on benthic diatoms at 34 sites located in 13 watercourses of northern Italy, and to highlight possible misclassifications of the ecological status of watercourses, sensu Water Framework Directive, related to the normative index currently adopted in Italy (ICMi). The analysis o ...

Abstract:
... This work investigates the knowledge generation mechanisms underlying the creation of green technologies (GTs) in Italian NUTS 3 regions. We hypothesise that local knowledge spillovers from non-green technological areas positively influence the generation of inventions in green domains, since the latter occur as the outcome of a recombination process among a wide array of technological domains. In ...

Abstract:
... The availability of smart metered high-resolution water consumption data introduces, through the synchronous readings of the smart meters, new perspectives in the proactive approach to the monitoring of water losses. Measuring or transmission systems problems are unavoidable in real-world networks and, if not appropriately addressed, may compromise the ability to use smart meters to estimate water ...

Abstract:
... In the present paper, a novel method is provided to detect significant daily consumption patterns and to obtain scaling laws to predict consumption patterns for groups of homogeneous users. The first issue relies on the use of Self-Organizing Map to gain insights about the initial assumption of distinct homogeneous consumption groups and to find additional clusters based on calendar dates.

Abstract:
... The Campi Flegrei caldera in Southern Italy is one of the most populated active volcanoes on Earth. It has an unprecedented record of historical unrest and eruption that dates back to 2.2 ka BP and provides key insights for understanding the dynamic evolution of large calderas. Since 1950, it has undergone four episodes of caldera-wide uplift and seismicity, which have raised the coastal town of P ...
