Over the past decade, asylum seekers and refugees arriving in Italy were accommodated reception facilities located not only large metropolitan centres but also Small-medium Towns Rural Areas (STRAs). Italy’s system evolved quickly to face peaks of applications, especially 2015-2017 period. At same time, changes policies pushed by increased polarisation debate, which, turn, has led great heterog...

[1] Semidiurnal internal tides propagating toward and along the east coast of Korea are elucidated from the surface manifestation of non-linear internal wave (NLIW) packets in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images taken on September 2, 1996. The SAR images reveal two pairs of NLIW packets, one on the northern side of the southwestern East (Japan) Sea and the other on the western side. The NLIW ...

We provide a preliminary interpretation of the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) pressure data from the first 100 Martian solar days (sols) of the Mars Science Laboratory mission. The pressure sensor is performing well and has revealed the existence of phenomena undetected by previous missions that include possible gravity waves excited by evening downslope flows, relatively dust-fr...

The world’s largest deltas are densely populated, of significant economic importance and among the most valuable coastal ecosystems. Projected twenty-first century sea-level rise (SLR) poses a threat to these low-lying coastal environments with inhabitants, resources and ecology becoming increasingly vulnerable to flooding. Large spatial differences exist in the parameters shaping the world’s d...

The Victorian State Government is investigating a proposal to deepen the channels into Port Phillip Bay in order to bring larger ships into the Bay. The Port of Melbourne Corporation, the Victorian State Government authority responsible for the channel deepening, concluded that the largest increase in tidal height due to the channel deepening will be eight mm. We independently study the effect ...

The effects of barometric pressure and earth tide changes are often observed in ground water level measurements. These disturbances can make aquifer test interpretation difficult by masking the small changes induced by aquifer testing at late times and great distances. A computer utility is now available that automatically removes the effects of barometric pressure and earth tides from water le...

Observations with a microstructure/CTD proŽ ler and an ADCP during Ž ve cruises in 1994/95 provide a glance at the turbulent mixing climate of a partially mixed estuary, the Hudson River. The cruises took place under widely varying conditions of river discharge and external forcing by water level  uctuations in New York Bight. Tidal and fortnightly variability patterns of stratiŽ cation, shear...

Intertidal marshes are alternately exposed and submerged due to periodic ebb and flood tides. The tidal cycle is important in controlling the biogeochemical processes of these ecosystems. Intertidal sediments are important hotspots of dissimilatory nitrate reduction and interacting nitrogen cycling microorganisms, but the effect of tides on dissimilatory nitrate reduction, including denitrifica...

Melo-Magalhães, E. M. (2011) Phytoplankton of the São Francisco River estuarine region (northeastern Brazil): a study of its diversity. Braz. J. Aquat. Sci. Technol. 15(1): 95-105. ISSN 1808-7035. Studies aimed at determining phytoplankton composition, biomass (chlorophyll-a), some ecological and physical-chemical characteristics of the São Francisco estuary were conducted at 7 sampling station...
