Abstract

In this work, we apply a physically-based model, namely the HIRESSS (High REsolution Stability Simulator) model, to forecast the occurrence of shallow landslides at regional scale. The final aim is the set-up of an early warning system at regional scale for shallow landslides. HIRESSS is a physically based distributed slope stability simulator for analysing shallow landslide triggering conditions in real time and in large areas using parallel computational techniques. The software can run in real-time by assimilating weather data and uses Monte Carlo simulation techniques to manage the geotechnical and hydrological input parameters. The test area is a portion of the Valle d'Aosta region, located in North-West Alpine mountain chain. The geomorphology of the region is characterized by steep slopes with elevations ranging from 400ma.s.l. of Dora Baltea's river floodplain to 4810ma.s.l. of Mont Blanc. In the study area, the mean annual precipitation is about 800-900mm. These features lead to a high hydrogeological hazard in the whole territory, as mass movements interest the 70% of the municipality areas (mainly shallow rapid landslides and rock falls). In order to apply the model and to increase its reliability, an in-depth study of the geotechnical and hydrological properties of hillslopes controlling shallow landslides formation was conducted. In particular, two campaigns of on site measurements and laboratory experiments were performed with 12 survey points. The data collected contributes to generate input map of parameters for HIRESSS model. In order to take into account the effect of vegetation on slope stability, the contribution of the root cohesion has been also taken into account based on the vegetation map and literature values. The model was applied in back analysis on two past events that have affected Valle d'Aosta region between 2008 and 2009, triggering several fast shallow landslides. The validation of the results, carried out using a database of past landslides, has provided good results and a good prediction accuracy of the HIRESSS model both from temporal and spatial point of view. A statistical analysis of the HIRESSS outputs in terms of failure probability has been carried out in order to define reliable alert levels for regional landslide early warning systems.

Abstract

Vegetation plays a crucial role in slope stability affecting soil behaviour through many hydrological and mechanical processes. At the catchment scale, the hydrological effects of interception, suction, evapotranspiration and infiltration strongly affect runoff processes, whilst at the local scale the mechanical effect of root reinforcement is the leading factor for slope stability. Root systems of plants increase the shear strength of soils through a combined action by the large and the small roots: large woody roots can anchor the superficial soil layers to more stable substrates crossing potential planes of weakness; small roots strengthen the bounds with the soil particles increasing the overall cohesion of the matrix soil-roots. The belowground conditions that determine the root reinforcement are extremely variable, so that field measurements of the additional cohesion provided by roots can vary by an order of magnitude even for plants of same species and age. The extreme variability of this parameter coupled to the practical difficulties in assessing its spatial variations, especially for large areas, represent a significant limit in including proper values of root cohesion in slope stability models.In this study we analysed the effect of the roots cohesion on slope stability simulations obtained using the HIRESSS model. HIRESSS is a physically based distributed slope stability simulator developed to provide results in near real time and for large areas. For the latest version, the simulator was modified to insert the root reinforcement among the geotechnical parameters that considers to compute the factor of safety in probabilistic terms. A comparison of the results between two different simulations was performed: considering a large area (900 km2) and 30 days of precipitations, in one case the root cohesion was set to zero for all the area, in the other case different values of the parameter based on the plant species was instead inserted in the model.To build a map of the root cohesion for the study area, the following solution was adopted to solve the problem of the evaluation of the parameter: the distribution of plant species in the area was obtained from CORINE land cover 2012 4th level map, then a value of root cohesion and a range of variation was defined for each plant species based on the most recent literature in this field, finally, to reproduce the natural variability, the root reinforcement was treated as variable in Monte Carlo simulations, as well as the other geotechnical parameters.The results of the simulations for the study area were processed and analysed in order to evaluate the effect of root cohesion on failure probabilities. The results were also analysed considering landslide actual events to assess the contribution of the parameter to the HIRESSS forecasting capabilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

WAR FREE WORLD HERITAGE LISTED CITIES project has been designed and co-financed within the framework of the EC ENP Instrument through the CIUDAD program and arises from an international cooperation among the Council of the United Municipalities of Byblos (Lebanon), the Head of the Board of the City of Mtskheta (Georgia), the World Association for the protection of Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage in times of armed conficts – WATCH (Italy) and the University of Bologna (Italy). The project focuses on urban and regional planning for cities that are registered in the World Heritage List and located in critical areas being exposed to the threats of conflict and natural hazards such as earthquakes or flood. As case studies, Risk Preparedness Plans and Risk Mitigation measures have been defined for the cities of Byblos and Mtskheta abiding with the Guidelines issued in 2009 by UNESCO for the implementation of the Second Protocol of the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Properties in times of armed conflicts. During its thirty months of duration, the project has developed a strategy to create the required conditions for both Byblos and Mtskheta to be candidates for enhanced protection status to UNESCO.

Abstract

Il progetto War Free World Heritage Listed Cities si occupa della pianificazione urbana e della mitigazione del rischio per siti culturali che fanno parte della Lista dei Patrimoni dell’Umanità. All’interno di tale progetto, il nostro gruppo di ricerca si è concentrato sullo sviluppo di una metodologia innovativa destinata a elaborare piani concernenti le misure di mitigazione del rischio e di successiva valorizzazione. Questi hanno come riferimento quanto richiesto dalla normativa internazionale e considerano il bene culturale come un sistema complesso e aperto capace di assorbire uno shock improvviso e inaspettato. Sono state scelte due città come casi di studio (Byblos in Libano e Mtskheta in Georgia), ma il metodo è applicabile a un qualsiasi bene in pericolo: infatti, elaborando i dati ottenuti attraverso il sopralluogo dell’ottobre 2013, sono state prodotte schede descrittive e tabelle riassuntive del degrado e della valutazione del rischio che, tenendo in considerazione tutte le possibili variabili, rendono il metodo universale. Tale analisi della vulnerabilità del sito culturale in esame consente, inoltre, di determinare gli eventuali rischi cui questo può essere sottoposto e, conseguentemente, di proporre un piano che fornisca linee guida e suggerimenti circa le azioni preventive di mitigazione, le operazioni da svolgere nel momento di crisi e quelle riguardanti la gestione della post-emergenza. Il nostro intervento, attraverso gli esempi del lavoro svolto per i due casi di studio, intende dunque analizzare la metodologia sviluppata. In particolare, per Mtskheta, s’intende fornire una spiegazione dettagliata del metodo di lavoro, mentre per Byblos si ritiene opportuno fornire informazioni sul piano di mitigazione del rischio integrato a quello di valorizzazione appositamente pensato per il sito archeologico della città.

Abstract

Gluten is one of the most abundant and widely distributed components of food in many areas. It can be included in wheat, barley, rye, and grains such as oats, barley, spelt, kamut, and triticale. Gluten-containing grains are widely consumed; in particular, wheat is one of the world's primary sources of food, providing up to 50% of the caloric intake in both industrialized and developing countries. Until two decades ago, celiac disease (CD) and other gluten-related disorders were believed to be exceedingly rare outside of Europe and were relatively ignored by health professionals and the global media. In recent years, however, the discovery of important diagnostic and pathogenic milestones led CD from obscurity to global prominence. In addition, interestingly, people feeding themselves with gluten-free products greatly outnumber patients affected by CD, fuelling a global consumption of gluten-free foods with approximately $2.5 billion in United States sales each year. The acknowledgment of other medical conditions related to gluten that has arisen as health problems, providing a wide spectrum of gluten-related disorders. In February 2011, a new nomenclature for gluten-related disorders was created at a consensus conference in London. In this review, we analyse innovations in the field of research that emerged after the creation of the new classification, with particular attention to the new European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition guidelines for CD and the most recent research about non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
