Book Review, Per non scoprirlo mangiando… ,Maria Caramelli
Published 2013-06-01“…Un incremento di malattie alimentari che, per paradosso, è frutto dell'evoluzione di un mondo senza più frontiere nel quale gli scambi di animali, mangimi e materie prime di origine animale sono oramai incontrollabili.Nonostante i consumatori europei pongano i rischi chimici (come gli additivi) in cima alle preoccupazioni per la propria sicurezza alimentare, secondo la FAO e l'OMS i pericoli maggiori sono invece di natura microbiologica, riguardano cioè virus e batteri in grado di provocare intossicazioni e infezioni con conseguenze anche drammatiche: microrganismi spesso difficili da identificare e in continua espansione, favoriti dalla globalizzazione, dalla trasformazione delle nostre abitudini, dalla complessità dei processi di produzione e distribuzione dei cibi.L'agile libro della dott.ssa Maria Caramelli, Direttore generale dell'IZS di Piemonte Liguria e Valle d'Aosta ed esperta di sicurezza alimentare (una delle più autorevoli studiose italiane di BSE), indaga il vasto mondo delle malattie alimentari partendo dai casi che hanno scatenato allarmi sanitari e crisi economiche di vaste proporzioni scuotendo mass media e opinione pubblica: mucca pazza (BSE), influenza aviaria, diossina nei maiali, mozzarella blu "color puffo", ricotta rosa, fino all'epidemia tedesca del batterio killer nei germogli che tra maggio e luglio del 2011 ha contagiato circa 4.000 persone e provocato 46 decessi. …”

Slope-Scale Evolution Categorization of Deep-Seated Slope Deformation Phenomena with Sentinel-1 Data
Published 2023-11-01“…The methodology was tested on two differently oriented phenomena: the mainly north–south-oriented Croix de Fana and the mainly east–west-oriented Valtournenche DsGSD, located in the Aosta Valley Region, northern Italy. The results show a variation in the kinematic behavior between the morpho-structural domains, while also considering any other superimposed surficial deformations. …”

Genetic correlations and causal effects of fighting ability on fitness traits in cattle reveal antagonistic trade-offs
Published 2022-09-01“…However, if a trait giving a social advantage is suspected to affect the expression of other traits, MTM could provide some bias, that structural equation models (SEM) could highlight. We used Aosta Chestnut-Black Pied cattle to investigate whether the fighting ability of cows (the capability of winning social dominance interactions) is genetically correlated with health and fitness traits. …”
