Microplastics in the Mediterranean Sea: Sources, Pollution Intensity, Sea Health, and Regulatory Policies

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Microplastic pollution is one of the emerging threats across the globe and is becoming a topic of intense study for environmental researchers. At present, almost all of the world’s oceans and seas are contaminated with microplastics but the Mediterranean

Why Is the Mediterranean a Climate Change Hot Spot?

open access: yesJournal of Climate, 2020
Higher precipitation is expected over most of the world’s continents under climate change, except for a few specific regions where models project robust declines.

Finding Coastal Megaclast Deposits: A Virtual Perspective

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Coastal megaclast deposits are dominated by detrital particles larger than 1 m in size. These attract significant attention of modern researchers because of the needs of sedimentary rock nomenclature development and interpretation of storm and tsunami ...

Modulation of the occurrence of heat waves over the Euro-Mediterranean region by the intensity of the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The influence of the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV) and its amplitude on the Euro-Mediterranean summer climate is studied in two climate models, namely CNRM-CM5 and EC-Earth3P. Large ensembles of idealized experiments have been conducted in which North Atlantic sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are relaxed towards different amplitudes of the ...

Slavery in the Mediterranean

open access: yes, 2023
AbstractThis chapter focuses on slavery in the Mediterranean region from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, and especially in the Northern Mediterranean basin, including the Italian states, France, Spain, and Portugal. Comparing the situation in Southern European states to that in the Ottoman Empire and its satellite states enables an analysis of

The Mediterranean diet, plasma metabolome, and cardiovascular disease risk.

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2020
AIMS To investigate whether metabolic signature composed of multiple plasma metabolites can be used to characterize adherence and metabolic response to the Mediterranean diet and whether such a metabolic signature is associated with cardiovascular ...

Geoarchaeological and Paleo-Hydrological Overview of the Central-Western Mediterranean Early Neolithic Human–Environment Interactions

open access: yesOpen Archaeology, 2021
Climate change is still a subject of debate for archaeologist-neolithicists. Its exact chronology, internal pattern, variations in space and time, and impacts on sites and ecosystems and on coastal dynamic and river systems have yet to be assessed.

Ballast water-mediated species spread risk dynamics and policy implications to reduce the invasion risk to the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most heavily invaded marine regions. This work focuses on the dynamics and potential policy options for ballast water-mediated nonindigenous species to the Mediterranean. Specifically, we (1) estimated port risks in years 2012, 2015, and 2018, (2) identified hub ports that connect many clusters, and (3) evaluated ...

The Mediterranean, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), and Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) Diets Are Associated with Less Cognitive Decline and a Lower Risk of Alzheimer's Disease—A Review

open access: yesAdvances in Nutrition, 2019
As there is currently no cure for dementia, there is an urgent need for preventive strategies. The current review provides an overview of the existing evidence examining the associations of the Mediterranean, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)

Finsler geodesics of Lagrangian systems through Routh reduction [PDF]

open access: yesMediterranean Journal of Mathematics 13 (2016) 825-839, 2014
We make use of a symmetry reduction technique called Routh reduction to show that the solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations of a strongly convex autonomous Lagrangian which lie on a specific energy level can be thought of as geodesics of an associated Finsler function.
