Comparative species distribution model framework for marine conservation and its application to loggerhead turtles in the MediterraneanNARA Subscribed
Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are essential for conservation planning. Using the loggerhead turtle ( Caretta caretta )...
X-ray radiography and tomography are widely employed techniques in the Cultural Heritage (CH) field, as testified by the large number of analyses performed for these applications in this field. Specifically, tomography provides fully non-invasive morphological and microstructural information on the internal structure of the sample and can reveal, when possible, hidden details such as ancient repairs or concealed conservation i...
Test–retest reliability of TMS motor evoked responses and silent periods during explosive voluntary isometric contractionsNARA Subscribed
Purpose This study assessed the test–retest reliability of TMS motor evoked potentials (MEPs) and silent periods at early, middle, and late phases of the rising time–torque curve during explosive voluntary contractions. We also investigated how the number of consecutively averaged measurements influenced reliability. Methods On two separate occasions 3–7 days apart, 14 adults performed several isometric explosive (1-s) contrac...
Multi-risk assessment in a historical cityNARA Subscribed
Natural hazards pose a significant threat to historical cities which have an authentic and universal value for mankind. This study aims at codifying a multi-risk workflow for seismic and flood hazards, for site-scale applications in historical cities, which provides the Average Annual Loss for buildings within a coherent multi-exposure and multi-vulnerability framework. The proposed methodology includes a multi-risk correlatio...
MACHINA, the Movable Accelerator for Cultural Heritage In-situ Non-destructive Analysis: project overviewNARA Subscribed
Over the years, transportable instrumentation for cultural heritage (CH) in situ measurements has noticeably widespread, due to logistic, economical and safety reasons. Ion beam analysis, a powerful set of analytical techniques, of great importance for CH, is instead carried out by using fixed instrumentation. To overcome this limit, the Italian national Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN), CERN (European Centre for Nuclear Re...
Common, low-frequency, rare, and ultra-rare coding variants contribute to COVID-19 severityNARA Subscribed
The combined impact of common and rare exonic variants in COVID-19 host genetics is currently insufficiently understood. Here, common and rare variants from whole-exome sequencing data of about 4000 SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were used to define an interpretable machine-learning model for predicting COVID-19 severity. First, variants were converted into separate sets of Boolean features, depending on the absence or the pr...
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2020 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
This study provides data on the genetic structuring of the pipefish Syngnathus abaster in the western Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas. A total of 109 specimens were collected in brackish‐water biotopes. The control region and three other regions of the mitochondrial genome were analysed. The most relevant result was the high genetic structuring found by Bayesian inference ( BI ), maximum likelihood ( ML ) and network analyses,...
