Holocene paleohydrology reconstruction is derived combining planktonic and benthic stable oxygen and carbon isotopes, sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and oxygen isotope composition of seawater (δOw) from a high sedimentation core collected in the South Adriatic Sea (SAS). Core chronology is based on 10 AMS 14C measures on planktonic foraminifera and tephra layers. Results reveal two contrasted ...

AIM To investigate the prevalence of chronic respiratory symptoms in 9 metapopulations on Adriatic islands in Croatia, and the relationship between respiratory symptoms and individual genetic background. METHODS We obtained random sample of 1001 adult inhabitants of 9 Adriatic island villages in Croatia, that also included immigrants to these villages. European Union respiratory health questi...

In September 2014, seven sperm whales were stranded along Italy's Adriatic coastline. Postmortem investigations on 3 female adult whales and 1 male fetus carried by the largest female revealed molecular and immunohistochemical evidence of dolphin morbillivirus infection. A possible role of the virus in the stranding event was considered.

AIM To investigate the relationships between body mass index (BMI), dietary habits, and cardiovascular risk factors in isolated Adriatic island populations of Croatia. METHODS Random sample of subjects (n=1001) was interviewed, using a validated questionnaire developed for this research program. Dietary habits were assessed on the basis of applied Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Biochemic...

Variation in the diversity of ichthyoplankton was analyzed from samples collected during threeyear cycle in Boka Kotorska Bay. Samples were collected using Calvet (modified PairOVET) plankton net at 18 stations, from July 2006 through January 2009. Families with most numerous species were Engraulidae, Sparidae and Labridae. Investigation shows dominance of anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), Medi...

In the framework of the Mediterranean Forecasting System (MFS) project, the performance of regional numerical ocean forecasting systems is assessed by means of model-model and model-data comparison. Three different operational systems considered in this study are: the Adriatic REGional Model (AREG); the Adriatic Regional Ocean Modelling System (AdriaROMS) and the Mediterranean Forecasting Syste...

Annual number of days with exceeded ozone threshold values at the ground level measuring stations in Slovenia ranges from a few days in the interior of the country to up to 25 days at the Mediterranean stations. The highest number of ozone exceedances is usually recorded in the southwestern part of Slovenia, close to the Adriatic Sea, where favorable meteorological conditions enhance ozone form...

Noncommuting spatial coordinates and fields can be realized in actual physical situations. Plane wave solutions to noncommuting photodynamics exhibit violaton of Lorentz invariance (special relativity). Feza Gursey Institute, Istanbul, Turkey – June 2001 “Symmetry Methods in Physics”, Yerevan, Armenia – July 2001 “CPT and Lorentz Symmetry II”, Bloomington, IN – August 2001 “Particles and String...

The base-line frequency of micronucleated cells was measured in g111 tissue of Mytilus ga l loprov~nc~ahs Lmk. from 2 ~Mediterranean areas (northern Tyrrhenian and northern Adriatic Seas), and turned out to be a function of water temperature and age of the animals.
