At Crati Scrl an operational version of RAMS 4.3 (Regional Atmospheric Modeling System) was implemented in January 2001. This paper aims to give a first assessment of model performances for quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF). In essence, the effects of enhanced horizontal grid resolution over Calabria, using a 6 km spacing domain nested in a 30 km resolution parent grid, is studied. To c...

This paper presents an overview of Dr. Mabry’s accomplishments in his career as a natural product chemist, first at the University of Zürich as a post-doctorate and since 1962 as a faculty member at the University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Botany until the late 1990’s when the Biological Sciences programs at UT-Austin were completely reorganized; then until his retirement in 2006,...

Surnames of grandparents were collected from children in the primary schools of the Albanian-Italian, Croat-Italian, and Greek-Italian villages. The coefficients of relationships by isonymy show almost no relationship with ethnicity. Ethnolinguistic minorities of Southern Italy and Sicily are geographically subdivided in two main clusters: the first cluster comprises the Albanian, Croat, and Gr...

The occurrence of Rhizomatophora aegopodioides , a species distributed in the Balkan Peninsula, Greece, southern Caucasus, Turkey and Russia, is reported here for first time Italy. It was discovered Calabria (southern Italy) Argentino River Valley along Abatemarco (municipality Cosenza), localities partly included within Pollino National Park. Information about taxonomy, nomenclature, habitat, ...
