Progetto di fototrappolaggio dei Mustelidi e del gatto selvatico, Felis silvestris, nel Parco Nazionale delle Dolomiti Bellunesi (CARNIVORA: MUSTELIDAE, FELIDAE)
No full textWithin the research project “Biodiversity survey in alpine habitat”, ran by the DolomitiBellunesi National Park with funds from the Italian Ministry of the Environment, the Museumof Natural History of Venice was commissioned in 2013 to carry out a camera-trapping survey.The target of such survey was both to investigate the distribution and presence of mustelidsand to verify the presence of Felis silvestris. The latter species was considered as potentiallypresent, but so far never unambiguously reported. The information gathered allowed tointegrate the scarce and fragmented data available on mustelid distribution in the area of thePark. Based on preliminary work performed in 2013, a targeted survey in 2014 ascertainedthe presence of the wildcat in the Maè creek basin within the Longarone-Val di Zoldo area
Stima della disponibilità potenziale di residui agricoli mediante l’utilizzo di immagini satellitari a media risoluzione spaziale (Aster): uno studio geografico in Serbia.
No full textL’utilizzo di residui agricoli come fonte energetica rinnovabile per l’alimentazione di caldaie a
cogenerazione rappresenta una delle nuove potenzialità del comparto agricolo. Il presente studio è
stato sviluppato nell’ambito di un progetto Interreg, svolto in sinergia con la vicina Repubblica di
Serbia. L’obiettivo specifico di questa parte del progetto è stato quello di valutare la disponibilità
potenziale delle biomasse agricole lignocellulosiche (residui di potatura dei frutteti e dei vigneti) ed
erbacee (paglie nel caso del frumento; stocchi, tutoli e brattee nel caso del mais) per l’alimentazione
di caldaie a supporto di reti di teleriscaldamento. Le aree di studio sono tre municipalità serbe
Sombor, Palilula e Negotin. Per definire la copertura del suolo di questi territori sono state prese in esame alcune immagini satellitari a media risoluzione spaziale (ASTER), che sono state
inizialmente classificate in alcune macroclassi (aree urbane, aree agricole, foreste e idrografia), mediante classificazione di tipo Machine Learning. Successivamente è stata estratta la macroclasse
relativa alle superfici coltivate, allo scopo di discriminare tra aree cerealicole e aree con superfici a
frutteti e/o a vigneti (per definire puntualmente le potenzialità delle diverse tipologie di biomassa agricola derivabile). Questa differenziazione dell’uso del suolo agricolo è stata realizzata mediante
la classificazione di un indice vegetazionale (NDVI), elaborato sui dati telerilevati ASTER
precedentemente selezionati. I dati relativi all’estensione delle diverse classi di superficie agricola sono stati confrontati con le informazioni acquisite dall’Ufficio di Statistica della Repubblica di
Serbia, nonché con fonti cartografiche non omogenee fornite dalla partnership serba. Una volta
verificata l’accuratezza della classificazione, sono stati applicati dei parametri di produttività per
stimare le biomasse potenzialmente retraibili dai territori allo studio
Primi indizi di riproduzione di istrice, Hystrix cristata, in Veneto. (RODENTIA: HYSTRICIDAE)
No full textThe crested porcupine, Hystrix cristata (L. 1758) has recently expanded northwards and reached the Liguria, Lombardy and Veneto regions in a short time span. Within the Veneto region, this species is known since mid Eighties, in the plain and hilly areas of Verona, Rovigo, Vicenza and Venice provinces. The present study provides an update of the presence of the species in the province of Verona and suggests that the Crested porcupine is now fully established within this territory. This is confirmed by the finding of a young, 8-10 month old, female. This is the first evidence of probable reproductive success of the species in the province of Verona, as well as within the whole Veneto region

No Europe without Brussels: The Berlaymont Building and the Development of the Léopold Area
No full textEurope and Brussels had a mutual dependency from the founding of the European Communities. This article explores the historic relation between local urban and the transnational development of post-war Europe. It ultimately raises the question to what extent there exists a dialogue between various actors involved to actively design and build the image of Europe in Brussels.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care.

MUPRO: A multipurpose robot
No full textThe aim of this article was to describe an apparatus, called multipurpose neck robot (MUPRO), designed to record both the forces exerted at head level and the head rotations in the horizontal plane in the behaving monkey. It consists of a mechanical device, comprising a cardan joint, a potentiometer, an electromagnetic brake, and four flexion load cells, plus an oleodynamic system allowing head rotation in the horizontal plane between +/-20degrees. There components are assembled on a column bolted to the primate's chair. An electrical device provides DC power for the potentiometer and the brake. The apparatus enables us to measure both the force fields and the head movements during training sessions and electrophysiological investigations
I resti faunistici tardo medievali di Piazza San Marco (VE)
No full textTh e paper discusses the animal assemblage recovered under the direction of the “Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici del
Veneto - NAUSICAA” of the Italian Ministry of Culture during the excavation carried out in Piazza San Marco at Venice (Italy) in 2004.
Animal remains come fr om twelve layers, three of which are related to a sewer fi lled in at the end of the 15th century, whereas the others are
related to drainage activities. About 1085 fr agments have been analyzed; 883 (81.4%) have been identifi ed according to species and mostly
belonged to the domestic animals. Catt le and goat-sheep are the most common species; pigs are less represented, whereas poultry, other birds
and molluscs were rare. Most of the material seems to be highly fr agmented due to slaughtering and butchery activities; signs of burning were
noticed as well in some instances. Mammals were slaughtered both when young and adults. Th e variation in the age in which all species were
slaughtered was quite considerable. Young individuals under one year, as well as adults even older than 10 years, were well represented. Th e
animal sample fr om Piazza San Marco is the largest assemblage of Venice dated to the late Middle Age and provide some information on
the life of the ancient town
A mountain made of woods: the landscape in Mauro Corona's novels
No full textreservedIn questa trattazione i protagonisti saranno le piante, gli animali e i paesaggi emersi dall'analisi dei romanzi Mauro Corona . I romanzi dello scrittore sono stati analizzati in modo da poter creare una panoramica dei paesaggi presenti nelle sue opere. Dando una visione sia quantitativa che qualitativa, i luoghi e gli spazi vengono riportati in maniera dettagliata dal punto di vista fisico, della flora e della fauna, ma anche mostrando la connotazione più legata ad un punto di vista emotivo/soggettivo. L’autore nei suoi romanzi ci parla prevalentemente di un paesaggio montuoso, rurale, mostrandoci spesso i dettagli di alcuni spazi.In this discussion, the protagonists will be the plants, the animals and the landscapes. The novels by the writer Mauro Corona have been analysed in order to create an overview of the landscapes in his works.
