A systematic approach concerning the assessment and strengthening of reinforced concrete buildings of Catania
No full textThe Catania I Project has yielded some preliminary results regarding the losses consequent to different seismic scenarios in the area of Catania. The aim of the Catania II Project is to gain a deeper insight into the problem starting from the results of the previous project, through the development of a "Detailed seismic scenario finalized to losses reduction in the urban area of Catania city". Concerning the losses mitigation, the authors have been involved in the development and implementation of two products: a Code of Practice concerning the Assessment and Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Buildings, an intelligent Data Bank supporting and integrating the Guidelines and aiming at assisting the operators in the task of acquiring the data and assessing the vulnerability
Chronic antidepressant drug treatment does not affect GH response to baclofen in depressed subjects.
No full textThe growth hormone (GH) response to baclofen, a specific GABAB agonist, was tested in 8 male depressed patients before and after chronic treatment with amitriptyline (100 mg/day). No difference was seen in plasma GH response before and 28 days after amitriptyline treatment, suggesting that chronic antidepressant drug treatment does not increase hypothalamic GABAB receptor sites in humans. These data suggest that further studies need to support the hypothesis of a GABA involvement in the mechanism of action of antidepressant drugs

A Predator on the Doorstep: Kill Site Selection by a Lone Wolf in a Peri-Urban Park in a Mediterranean Area
No full text: The aim of the study was to assess which kill site characteristics were selected by a lone wolf living in a protected Mediterranean coastal area near the city of Pisa, Italy, where both wild and domestic ungulates were available as potential prey. Between 2017 and 2019, we monitored the wolf's predatory behaviour through a combination of camera trapping and active search for kill sites and prey carcasses. The main prey found was the fallow deer (n = 82); only two wild boars and no domestic ungulates were found preyed upon. The features and habitat of kill sites were modelled to test for selection by the wolf. The habitat type of kill site was composed of meadows and pastures (89.3%), woods (7.3%), degraded coastal areas (1.9%), roads and rivers (1.1%), and marshes (0.5%). We calculated their distance from landscape features and ran a binomial generalised linear model to test the influence of such landscape variables. The distance of kill sites from landscape elements was significantly different from random control sites, and a positive selection for fences was found. In fact, the wolf pushed fallow deer towards a fence to constrain them and prevent them from escaping. We also analysed the body condition of predated fallow deer as a percentage of fat content in the bone marrow of the hind legs. Our results revealed the selection of the lone wolf for deer in good body condition. This is a possible outcome of the habitat selection shown by fallow deer in the study area, where fenced open pastures are the richest in trophic resources; therefore, our findings suggest a high efficacy for the lone wolf hunting strategy, but also the adoption of a high risk feeding strategy by deer. This study suggests that a lone predator can take advantage of human infrastructures to maximise its predatory effectiveness
