Analysing the formation of Knowledge Framework (KF) for Municipality Fondi, a medium size municipality in central Italy, this research explains methodology used to describe and interpret its specific territorial condition, aiming delineate series operative guidelines further implementations other contexts. The article deals with comparisons several urban planning approaches, transposing them st...

The Italian approach to determining background values (BGVs) of metals and trace elements in marine sediments according the national legislation transposing water framework directive (WFD) has been illustrated. This study may be helpful for all countries that need establish local BGVs correct assessment contamination areas with wide geological geochemical variability and, particularly, those as...

S OMEWHERE in Latin America a single P-element copy found its way into the genome of Drosophila melanogaster from another insect species. Once there, these transposable elements made use of their new hosts’ DNA repair mechanism to increase their copy number while transposing to new genomic positions. Within the span of a few decades they spread worldwide to encompass nearly the entire species. ...

In the field of musicians and recording engineers audio effects are mainly described and indicated by their acoustical effect. Audio effects can also be categorized from a technical point of view. The main criterion is found to be the type of modulation technique used to achieve the effect. After a short introduction to the different modulation types, three more sophisticated audio effect appli...

Based on an analysis of gender equality provisions in national collective agreements, this article investigates the influence European Union (EU) and macro-economic policy outcomes Belgium since signature Treaty Rome 1957. We show that, over time, EU policies have led to adoption promoting formal integration women labour market. At same stimulated flexibility, part-time work largely filled by w...

Copy number variants (CNVs) within humans can have both adaptive and deleterious effects. Because of their phenotypic significance, researchers have attempted to find single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in high linkage disequilibrium (LD) with CNVs to use in genomewide association studies. However, studies have found that CNVs are less likely to be in strong LD with flanking markers. We hypo...

Large lecture classes and standardized laboratory exercises are characteristic of introductory biology courses. Previous research has found that these courses do not adequately convey the process of scientific research and the excitement of discovery. Here we propose a model that provides beginning biology students with an inquiry-based, active learning laboratory experience. The Dynamic Genome...

Index words: Climate change Extreme heat Chicago Heat waves Health impacts Mortality Over the coming century, climate change is projected to increase both mean and extreme temperatures as heat waves become more frequent, intense, and long-lived. The city of Chicago has already experienced a number of severe heat waves, with a 1995 event estimated to be responsible for nearly 800 deaths. Here, f...
