Based on the evaluation of 3,902 local floristic references published between 2005 and 2025, an update to the floristic knowledge map of Italy is presented. To measure the progress in floristic knowledge across Italy’s administrative regions, the ‘Index of Floristic Knowledge Advancement’ (IFA) is proposed here. This index categorizes regions based on the proportion of potential improvement that has actually been achieved. Res...
The Effect Of Localized Circumferential Residual Stress On Pressurized Stress State Of CT Reconstructed Vessels: A Finite Element StudyNARA Subscribed
Purpose Residual stresses are intrinsic stresses present in arteries even in the absence of external loads or blood pressure. They originate during growth and remodeling and contribute to vascular mechanical equilibrium. Despite advances in computational methods, incorporating residual stresses into patient-specific vascular models remains challenging. Evidence regarding the influence of circumferential residual stresses on ph...
Computational-Aided Approach for the Optimization of Microfluidic-Based Nanoparticles Manufacturing ProcessNARA Subscribed
In the last few years, the microfluidic production of nanoparticles (NPs) is becoming a promising alternative to conventional industrial approaches (e.g., nanoprecipitation, salting out, and emulsification-diffusion) thanks to the production efficiency, low variability, and high controllability of the production parameters. Nevertheless, the development of new formulations and the switching of the production process toward mic...
Sex differences in Parkinson’s disease-related non motor symptoms: a focus on sleep problemsNARA Subscribed
Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptomatology differs between females and males, yet the contribution of sex on sleep problems needs further analysis. Here, we aimed to investigate sex-specific patterns in the relationship between sleep problems, assessed using the Parkinson’s disease sleep scale (PDSS-2), non motor symptoms (NMS), measured by the NMS scale (NMSS), and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), evaluated by the Parkin...
HBIM for the preservation of a historic infrastructure: the Carlo III bridge of the Carolino AqueductNARA Subscribed
The research on Carlo III bridge in Moiano (Benevento, Italy) has been an opportunity for testing the HBIM methodology to the architectural heritage in terms of not only gathering information but as a design tool. The bridge, almost without previous drawings and documents, was surveyed with an integrated approach using laser scanner, photogrammetry and topography. Data produced a metrically reliable HBIM model, complete with g...
Candida gut colonization and yeast biofilm production capacity were investigated, by means of XTT reduction assay, in Clostridioides difficile infected (CDI) patients, in non-CDI diarrheic patients, and in healthy donors in two different time periods (2013–2015 and 2018–2019 respectively). Candida gut colonization was significantly ( p < 0.001) associated to C. difficile infection, and to patients infected with hypervirulent C...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
