Understanding the relationship between fluids and seismicity is crucial for improving seismic hazard assessment, as fluid migration can play a significant role in earthquake triggering. Here, we present the results from an innovative real-time multiparametric monitoring implemented at the so-called ‘Salse di Nirano’ or mud volcano field (Northern Apennines, Italy), a region of medium to high seismic hazard. The objective is to...

Identifying disease-causing variants in Rare Disease patients’ genome is a challenging problem. To accomplish this task, we describe a machine learning framework, that we called “Suggested Diagnosis”, whose aim is to prioritize genetic variants in an exome/genome based on the probability of being disease-causing. To do so, our method leverages standard guidelines for germline variant interpretation as defined by the American C...

A molecular tool has been developed for the molecular identification of Ips sexdentatus (Börner 1776) (Coleoptera Curculionidae Scolytidae), the well-known six thooted bark beetle, widely distributed in Eurasia, where it infests several species of the genus Pinus and occasionally a few conifer species of the genera Abies , Larix and Picea . The developed test can be useful both in countries where I. sexdentatus is handled as a...
