Bovine mastitis is one of the major challenges in dairy production, causing significant economic losses and emphasizing the need for alternatives to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics. Palo Santo ( Bursera graveolens ) essential oil (BEO) presents recognized biological properties that can be enhanced through nanoengineered delivery systems. This study aimed to chemically characterize the BEO of B. graveolens , develop a nan...

Acid mine drainage (AMD) and mine-impacted water (MIW) are major environmental liabilities, characterized by high concentrations of metals and sulfates. This study evaluated the remediation of AMD and MIW considering the individual and combined effects of chemical precipitation (CP) with NaOH and adsorption, comparing powdered activated carbon (PAC) and a modified geopolymer acid attack followed by thermal calcination (GPAT) a...

This article presents the outcomes of a national initiative aimed at developing a technical document to support the future Italian National Genomic Strategy, carried out from 2021 to 2024 through the collaboration of 14 research institutions. The project was designed to align with major European genomic initiatives, particularly the “1 + Million Genomes” (1 + MG) Declaration and its supporting programs, including Beyond 1 Mill...

Detailed knowledge of dietary preferences in wild species are important both for understanding evolutionary processes as well as for their conservation. By means of DNA metabarcoding analysis of faecal samples, we investigated the diet of Alpine ibex ( Capra ibex ), a mountain ungulate characterised by strong sexual dimorphism and segregation, and analysed differences between male and female diet. Despite a low level of select...
