Invasive palms have more efficient and prolonged CO2 assimilation compared to native sub-Mediterranean vegetation

Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen, Thibaut Michel Georges Juillard, Janisse Deluigi, Marco Conedera

In sub-Mediterranean ecosystems, shade-tolerant broadleaf evergreens, especially the invasive Trachycarpus fortunei, are spreading uncontrollably in the forest understorey, impeding the regeneration of the native deciduous woody vegetation. Most invasive s ...

Brown carbon absorption in the Mediterranean basin from local and long-range transported biomass burning air masses

Athanasios Nenes

This study examines the impact of light absorption from biomass burning (BB) brown carbon (BrC) in the Mediterranean basin from local and distant fire incidents during a typical fire season in August 2019 and under severe fire activity in August 2021. The ...

‘How To Build a Villa By The Sea’ The Implicit Project of Villa-mania in Post-war Italy (1948-1973)

Michela Bonomo

In the collective imagination the villa is a manifesto of 'the good life’, often representing for architects a laboratory of experimentation and style and an exception in their portfolio. The fate of the villa in contemporary architecture and research cult ...

Forms and Technologies of Italy’s Villa-mania (1955 -1970)

Michela Bonomo

The increasing interest towards the concept of the so called ‘escape from the city’, fueled by the recent pandemic, prompt us to put the holiday villa at the center of research attention. In the collective imagination the villa is a manifesto of 'the good ...

Water soluble reactive phosphate (SRP) in atmospheric particles over East Mediterranean: The importance of dust and biomass burning events

Athanasios Nenes, Kalliopi Violaki, Christos Panagiotopoulos

The importance of dust and biomass burning episodes on the atmospheric concentration of water-soluble reactive phosphate (SRP) was determined in the eastern Mediterranean. SRP was measured with a new rapid real-time automated analytical system with a time ...

Genomic consequences of colonisation, migration and genetic drift in barn owl insular populations of the eastern Mediterranean

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Eléonore Lavanchy

The study of insular populations was key in the development of evolutionary theory. The successful colonisation of an island depends on the geographic context, and specific characteristics of the organism and the island, but also on stochastic processes. A ...

Genuinely distributed Byzantine machine learning

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Le Nguyen Hoang, Sébastien Louis Alexandre Rouault, Arsany Hany Abdelmessih Guirguis

Machine learning (ML) solutions are nowadays distributed, according to the so-called server/worker architecture. One server holds the model parameters while several workers train the model. Clearly, such architecture is prone to various types of component ...

Flushing the Lake Littoral Region: The Interaction of Differential Cooling and Mild Winds

Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Tomy Doda, Cintia Luz Ramon Casanas

The interaction of a uniform cooling rate at the lake surface with sloping bathymetry efficiently drives cross-shore water exchanges between the shallow littoral and deep interior regions. The faster cooling rate of the shallows results in the formation of ...

Precipitation fate and transport in a Mediterranean catchment through models calibrated on plant and stream water isotope data

Paolo Benettin

To predict hydrologic responses to inputs and perturbations, it is important to understand how precipitation is stored in catchments, released back to the atmosphere via evapotranspiration (ET), or transported to aquifers and streams. We investigated this ...

Spatiotemporal modelling of extreme wildfires and severe thunderstorm environments

Jonathan Koh Boon Han

Environmental extreme events can have devastating impacts on society when they interact with vulnerable human and natural systems. Such events can result from natural causes, like phenomena related to the El Ni~no-Southern Oscillation or decadal/multi-dec ...
