We consider the joint probability distribution function for the mass contrast and angular momentum of over-density regions on the protogalactic scale and investigate the formation of massive black holes at redshift z > 10. We estimate the growth rate of the angular momentum by the linear perturbation theory and the decay rate by the Compton drag and apply the Press-Schechter theory to obtain th...

Post-wildfires geological hazards are an emerging problem in many places, including areas not typically associated with these events such as the Alpine Region. Hazards connected post-fire processes debris-flows and flood-type threatens people, infrastructures, services economical activities. Apart from a few examples, there is lack of models available to quantify increase susceptibility result ...

Ten patients with histoid lesions among the lepromatous leprosy cases, of both sexes in the age group of 35-65 years, were included in this study. Skin biopsy from the nodule with surrounding healthy skin of histoid lesion was taken. The biopsies were fixed in susa solution and processed for light microscopy. 5-7 mu thick sections were cut and stained with haematoxylin and eosin, Toludine blue ...

This study investigates the microbiological conditions of large game animal carcasses following evisceration. Carcasses of animals (N=291) hunted in the Upper Susa Valley (Italian Alps) were analysed for pH, Aerobic Viable Count (AVC), Enterobacteriaceae, Yersinia spp., Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. After shooting, evisceration occurred within 60 min in 90.7% of animals and samplin...
