As in most part of Africa, the Bani basin (Niger River, Mali) is threatened by climate changes. This study focuses on droughts hazard and its indicators as derived from the Climatic Moisture Index using the monthly data for the period (1963-2000), in order to examine the Bani basin vulnerability to water stress. In this study, water deficit (drought) was logically addressed using the Standardiz...

I am glad to sketch Prof. Tatiana Bani-Sacchi’s outstanding contribution to relaxin research, which has opened new views on the biological effects and therapeutic perspectives of this hormone, with special reference to the cardiovascular field. I first met her about 30 years ago, when she was a young Full Professor of Histology in the Florence University Faculty of Medicine, yet affirmed as an ...

We investigate the critical properties of spin-$1$ honeycomb antiferromagnet BaNi$_2$V$_2$O$_8$, both below and above ordering temperature $T_N$ using neutron diffraction muon spin rotation measurements. Our results characterize BaNi$_2$V$_2$O$_8$ as a two-dimensional (2D) across entire range, displaying series crossovers from 2D Ising-like to XY then Heisenberg behavior with increasing tempera...

Frustrated magnets with integer spin are predicted to have exotic physical properties including spin nematicity, yet few are known to exist. We report a new, frustrated S = 1 magnet, BaNi(3)(OH)(2)(VO(4))(2), which is the structural analogue of the mineral vesignieite. Magnetic frustration arises from a competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic ordering leading to a glassy transit...

The development and structure of Neoproterozoic III volcanosedimentary basins in the northeastern part of the Arabian shield record periods of uplift, erosion, extension, subsidence, compression, and strike-slip faulting that postdated the completion of terrane amalgamation in the northern East African orogen (EAO) and predated the initiation of a passive margin on the northern flank of the Gon...
