A conjecture from the paper: 'Time, irreversibility and cosmological throttling, Atti Accad. Pelorit. Pericol. Cl. Sci. Fis. Mat. Nat. 103(2), A2 (2025)'
We have recently presented a thermodynamic viewpoint that explores the concept of a potential cosmological Joule-Thomson effect, which is supported by the Universe's considerable entropy, primarily stemming from black-body radiation. In an open system, the evolution of entropy is influenced by…

Radon exhalation of untreated and aged Modica stone building material: a case study
In this paper, the assessment of the radon exhalation rate of the Modica stone building material, untreated and accelerated aged through salt crystallization test, is reported as a case study. Noteworthy, this construction material was largely employed for the construction of historical monuments…

Is it possible a `Reverse Flynn Effect'? Consideration for new opportunities in the context of sustainability
Recently, some evaluations of the workers' and students' abilities brought back to consider the negative (or reverse) Flynn effect. The reverse Flynn effect is an empirically confirmed decrease in the Intelligence Quotient since the 1990s. It has been proven to be related to environmental…

Beetles diversity and distribution in Vulcano Island (Sicily: Aeolian Archipelago)
The ongoing biodiversity disappearance on islands worldwide is alarming. Without an accurate biodiversity assessment, it is impossible to stop the loss of the world’s islands irreplaceable natural heritage. To assess biodiversity in terrestrial habitats, beetle monitoring is pivotal. Volcanic…

The conjecture of carrying capacity in cancer: Thermodynamic implications
In this study, we explore Deisboeck and Z. Wang's conjecture from 2007, which establishes a quantitative relationship between the spatial expansion of tumours and the volume constraints as well as functional variations of the surrounding host tissue. By integrating the physical properties of cells…

Customization of Limited Area Model for complex orography territories: the WRF and the WRF-Chem UniMe model
Since ancient times, knowledge of weather conditions has been essential for human survival and for planning activities. In this context, atmospheric forecast models play a key role in weather studies, contributing significantly to understand and predict short- and long-term weather changes. In the…

Action, time and entropy: The mechanical origin
In this review, we discuss the interrelation of advanced interdisciplinary concepts such as time, motion, and change in the context of modern physics and their connection to the idea of action. We mainly address such aspects that permit us to expose the specificity of these concepts. Specifically…

Grad's 14-moments model for dense gases of spheres subjected to inelastic collisions
A 14-moments model for a dense granular gas is developed in the context of Grad's theory. The gas consists of spheres subjected to inelastic collisions. This condition implies that the energy is not conserved, but a part of it is transformed into heat and this determines a dissipation of…

The Coccinellidae (Coleoptera: Cucujiformia, Coccinelloidea) of Sicily: recent records and updated checklist
This paper compiles an updated checklist of Sicilian (including the circum-Sicilian islets) species of Coccinellidae based on historical bibliographical data along with new Sicilian material collected by the author and other entomologists in the last few decades. A total of 90 species are reported…

Natural radioactivity content, radon exhalation and mineralogical composition assessment of the Ignimbrite campana stone: a case study
The natural radioactivity content of the Ignimbrite campana stone, as well as its radon exhalation and mineralogical composition, were assessed and reported as a case study in the present paper. In particular, the High Purity Germanium (HPGe) gamma spectrometry and the Closed Chamber Method (CCM)…

Time, irreversibility and cosmological throttling
In 2011 Perlmutter, Schmidt, and Reiss discovered that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. This finding is contrary to the expectation that gravity should slow this expansion. This discovery raises fundamental questions about dark energy, which constitutes about three-fourths of the…

Derivations of the stress-strain relations for anisotropic viscoanelastic media in irreversible thermodynamics with internal variables
In this paper the rheological and heat equations are derived in an anisotropic viscoanelastic media using the method of internal variables in the absence of external forces. Compared with an isotropic viscoanelastic media, where both the deformation and heat propagation are equal in all directions…

Looking through human eating in prehistoric and protohistoric Campania: Bio-archaeological remains of a cereal soup cooked in a turtle carapace from Acerra (NA), Southern Italy
During of the archaeological excavation campaign of June 2018,in the course of the construction works of the Naples - Bari High-Speed Rail Line (route to the Napoli- Cancello section) in Acerra (NA) a silo and a combustion pit were found inside an abandoned village of the Eneolithic age with…

Crystallographic and petrographic characterization of two architectural terracottas from the sanctuary of Marasà (Locri)
Two fragments of the terracotta revetment plaques of the Western Greek sanctuary of Marasà (Locri) stored up in the National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria (Italy) were studied. One of them has chromatic and granulometric anomalies if compared with similar artefacts while the other has a…

New data about geophysical survey at Grotta delle Veneri (Parabita, Lecce)
In order to investigate the possible extension of a cave of great archaeological interest, integrated geophysical measurements have been undertaken. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) have been used. The cave, called “Grotta delle Veneri” (Cave of the Venus)…

University priority actions for mitigation and adaptation to climate change
Universities play a pivotal role in addressing climate change through both mitigation (reducing emissions) and adaptation (preparing for impacts). These institutions can undertake a range of priority actions to contribute to the fight against climate change and prepare for its consequences…

Evaluation of air pollution and climate changes on chronic inflammatory diseases through artificial neural networks analysis: A proposal for a multi-omics approach in chronic inflammatory diseases studies
Recent scientific evidence highlight the negative effects that air pollution and climate change have on human health. In the present review contribution, it will be shown how by means of Artificial Intelligence it is possible to correlate climate change, air pollution and chronic inflammatory…

A mathematical-physical formulation of a mesoscale limited area model in meteorology
In this paper we give a detailed mathematical-physical derivation of a limited area meteorological model, used in several applications, describing the motions and the behaviour of the atmosphere, in the troposphere layer, at mesoscale range, modeled as a mixture of compressible, heat conducting…
