The inventory of the taxa collected in 2022 during the annual field trip of the Working Group for Floristics, Systematics and Evolution of the Italian Botanical Society is reported.The field trip was held from 19th to 22th April in the islands of Lipari and Panarea (Aeolian Islands, Sicilia).Overall, 1,664 herbarium specimens were deposited in publ
Hummingbirds are known to defend food resources such as nectar sources from encroachment by competitors (including conspecifics).These competitive intraspecific interactions provide an opportunity to quantify the biomechanics of hummingbird flight performance during ecologically relevant natural behavior.We recorded the three-dimensional flight tra
A tank experiment using a flexible multi-column floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) model in regular waves was carried out to clarify the floater elastic response and its influence on the floater motion.The model motion response from the experiment was compared with the numerical simulations by NK-UTWind and WAMIT codes.The dynamic elastic deform
Clinical trials are essential in the translation of biomedical discoveries to new clinical interventions and therapeutics.Successful multisite clinical trials require qualified site investigators with an understanding of the full spectrum of processes and requirements from trial identification through closeout.New site investigators may be deterred
Conventional neuropsychological tests do not represent the complex and dynamic situations encountered in daily Jumpsuits life.Immersive virtual reality simulations can be used to simulate dynamic and interactive situations in a controlled setting.Adding eye tracking to such simulations may provide highly detailed outcome measures, and has great pot
