Abstract The paper presents a mechanical-based framework for the evaluation of local-scale seismic fragility curves. approach is oriented to vulnerability assessment unreinforced masonry buildings and makes use basic exposure data easily obtained from survey or available in existing database. An efficient finite element model static nonlinear analyses are employed assess structural behaviour. c...

The aim of this study was to investigate the synanthropy of Diptera: Calliphoridae, insects of forensic importance, in Calabria (southern Italy). The study lasted 2 years, from February 2010 to January 2012, and was carried out in three areas of Cosenza province representing "urban", "rural", and "wild" environments. Bottle traps baited with pork were used to catch Calliphoridae. Six species we...

This study aims to assess the different decay phenomena affecting Cosenza Cathedral façade (Calabria, South Italy) through evaluation of relative damage indices. For this goal, a multidisciplinary approach was applied exploiting both nondestructive and microdestructive techniques. Such combination enabled proposing an intervention priority scale that can be helpful institutions when planning pr...

glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) in humans is in x-linked disorder, housekeeping enzyme and vital for the survival of every cell. it catalyses the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phospho gluconat in the first committed step of the pentose phosphate pathway, which provides cells with pentoses and reducing power in the form of nadph. nadph is required to protect the cells against ox...
