We compute S-velocity profiles of the crust across the Messina strait (Italy), the tear zone at the southern end of the Ionian subduction zone. Separating Sicily from Calabria, the Messina Strait hosted some of the strongest earthquakes to ever occur in Italy. Here, the motion of the Ionian slab with respect to Sicily creates a complex tectonic setting characterized by lithospheric tearing. We ...

In Abies alba Mill. (silver fir), the frequency of intra-annual density fluctuations (IADFs) increases along latitudinal transect, from North to South, is higher in pure than mixed stands, and their formation linked spring and/or summer drought conditions. Trees respond climate, recording information tree rings anatomical features, such as IADFs. The IADFs are regions within ring where changes ...

We study the relative importance of sea-land and mountain-valley thermal contrasts in determining the development of thermally forced mesoscale circulations (TFMCs) over a mountainous peninsula. We ®rst analyse the energetics of the problem, and using this theory, we interprete the numerical simulations over Calabria, a mountainous peninsula in southern Italy. The CSU 3-D nonlinear numerical mo...

In this paper, the authors examine a common issue concerning the influence of measurement uncertainty on decisions. In fact, in some practical applications, it can be necessary to put in comparison measurement data with thresholds and limits. It occurs when the conformity with fixed specifications has to be verified or if warning and alert levels have to be not exceeded. In such a circumstance,...

We report a rich faunal assemblage from the Tyrrhenian (Late Pleistocene) of Trumbacà, located in the southern area of Reggio Calabria (Calabria, southern Italy). The only brachyuran reported to date from this locality is Ranilia constricta (A. Milne Edwards, 1880) by Vazzana (2008). The studied specimens have been assigned, as follows: ?Corallianassa sp., Dardanus arrosor (Herbst, 1796), Darda...

INTRODUCTION Pharmacovigilance (PV) is designed to monitor drugs continuously after their commercialization, assessing and improving their safety profile. The main objective is to increase the spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), in order to have a wide variety of information. The Italian Drug Agency (Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco [AIFA]) is financing several projects to incre...

metabasites and serpentinites of the ophiolitic sequence of the gimigliano-mount reventino unit(calabria, southern italy), also known as greenstones, are employed and marketed for building and ornamentalpurposes since prehistorical times. the main topic of our research focuses on the occurrence, within the abovelithotypes, of asbestiform minerals that may be potentially harmful for human health...
