Integrated forest management to prevent wildfires under Mediterranean environments
Get PDFThis review presents a multidisciplinary framework for integrating the ecological, regulatory, procedural and technical
aspects of forest management for fi res prevention under Mediterranean environments. The aims are to: i) provide a foreground of
wildfi re scenario; ii) illustrate the theoretical background of forest fuel management; iii) describe the available fuel management techniques
and mechanical operations for fi re prevention in forest and wildland-urban interfaces, with exemplifi cation of case-studies; iv)allocate fi re prevention activities under the hierarchy of forest planning. The review is conceived as an outline commentary discussion targeted to professionals, technicians and government personnel involved in forestry and environmental management
A genetic algorithm to design touristic routes in a Bike Sharing system
No full textThe aim of this paper is to study a Bike Sharing Touring (BST) applying a mathematical model known in operation research as Orienteering Problem (OP). Several European Cities are developing BST in order to reduce the exhaust emissions and to improve the sustainability in urban areas. The authors offer a Decision Support Tool useful for the tourist and the service's manager to organize the tourists' paths on the basis of tourists' desires, subject to usable time, place of interest position and docking station location. The model analyzed presents two innovative aspects compared to a classic OP. The first one is that the start and the arrival point of routes aren't necessary coinciding and pre-conditioned. The last one is that the knowledge of tourist tours allows to book the visit to a point of interest and doing so to optimize efficiency of the whole system and not only of the single tourist tour

No full textSynthesis and antioxidant activity of DOPA peptidomimetics by a novel IBX mediated aromatic oxidative functionalization
No full textDOPA peptidomimetics with stable O-C and N-C covalent bonds between amino acid residues have been prepared by aromatic oxidative functionalization of tyrosine with 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX). The reaction involves the Michael-like nucleophilic addition of different oxygen and nitrogen protected amino acids on a reactive DOPA quinone intermediate. Similar results were obtained in heterogeneous conditions using supported IBX-amide for more runs. Among the novel derivatives, compounds containing glycine residues showed a more pronounced antioxidant activity in the 2,2-diphenyl picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging cell free assay. Instead, valine derivatives showed the highest biological effect in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells, by assessing the ability to reduce H2O2 induced DNA breakage in the alkaline comet assay
Alberi monumentali: beni culturali e ambientali da sostenere nel tempo e nello spazio
No full textNello scenario contemporaneo di perdita di valori identitari, culturali e comunitari, questa nota propone alcune riflessioni sul ruolo e sul significato degli alberi monumentali. La permanenza nel tempo e nello spazio di un albero monumentale può essere garantita attraverso azioni di tipo legislativo, ma anche, necessariamente,
attraverso una strategia di azioni di valorizzazione finalizzate al riconoscimento dei grandi alberi
come patrimonio naturale e storico e come componenti di lettura e ricchezza del paesaggio. Si sottolinea quindi
l’importanza del quadro legislativo di riferimento ma anche la necessità di processi di partecipazione della
collettività e di progetti di pianificazione e gestione del paesaggio e delle sue componenti di valore naturale,
storico e sociale

No full textAn integrated decision support system to solve multi-criteria orienteering problem
No full textIn this work we proposed an integrated support system combining a meta-heuristic algorithm and a multicriteria decision analysis method to solve an orienteering problem applied to car-pooling system. For this purpose a Genetic Algorithm (GA), an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) are implemented. The research is based on the awareness that decision makers (DMs) often face situations in which different conflicting viewpoints (goals or criteria) are to be considered. Current car-pooling web platforms are focused on the exchange of information among potential users and drivers. The aim of this work is to include in web platform a decision procedure to support driver to organize the tour considering more criteria. The driver has to decide which tour does and which users to take into the trip Preliminary test are given to validate the functionality and usefulness of created integrated decision support system
