CONFERENCES ON EPIDEMIC POLIOMYELITIS AT THR MEETING OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH ASSO-- CIATION, 'MILWAUKEE, WVIS., SEPTEMBER 5-9, 1910. By WV. H. FRosT, Passed Assistant Surgeon, United States Public Hlealth and Marine- Hospital Service. Although there was no discussion of epidemic polioinyelitis upon the programme of the association, a considerable number of memDber. of the association were sufficiently interested in the subject to meet informally to discuss various aspects of this disease as a public health- problenm. Two such conferences were held, one on Septemnber 8 ani one on September 9, attended by representatives from California, Connecticut, Iowa, Ma yland, Massaichusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, the District of Columbia, and the Province of Ontario. Poliomveliti.s was repoited to have been unusually prevalent in all of these districts and epidemic in most of them. TIhe questions most fully discu.ssed at the conferenices were: 1. The advisability of making anterior poliomyelitis a reportabte disease. It was unanimouslv agreed that reports of this disease should be required by law. Of the States represented, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Minnesota, and Virginia have already mlade the disease reportable. 2. The advisability of (juarantining cases. While there were some differences of opinion as to the rigidity of the quarantine which should be enforced, there was a general consensus of opinion to the effect that all cases should be isolated for at least two weeks from the date of onset; that the premises should be placarded; that children known to be in contact with cases of poliomyelitis should be excluded fromn. schools for a period of two or three weeks. Regulations requiring complete fanlily quarantine were considered by nioot of those present- to be impracticable. 3. The diQinfection of discharges fronm the patient. This was uniaiii- iiiou.sly recommended. Other points discussed were the relationi of abortive cases and car-- riers to the spread of epidemic.s; the effect of climatic and seasonal conditions upon epidemics; the relation of paralysis of animals to humnani l)oliomnyelitis; the possibility of transmission by insects: the infectiousness of fomnites; the early diagnosis of the disease. These conferences, as well as coniversations with vaarious state healthk officials actively engaged in the study of epidemic poliomyelitis, proved highly in.structive, giving some idea of the extent of preva- lence of epidenics of poliomyelitis (luring the past summer, of the great variations in epidemics as regards virulence and apparenit con- tagiousness, and of the practical dlifficulties in the way of effectual' prevention. 119 1 443 UNITED STATES.

    Evaluation of crop irrigation water requirements in the Apulia region. Angela Maria Stella MATARRESE (Italy) Abstract This study has focussed on the assessment and quantification of crop irrigation water requirements (IWRs) in the Apulia region (Southern Italy) for the optimization of water use in agriculture. Regional climatic, pedologic and land use data have been applied to a computational model that has performed a monthly water balance for an average climatic year and has been implemented on a GIS platform with a view to estimate maximum IWRs and the requirements under regulated deficit irrigation (RDI). Estimates have been compared with the farmers’ actual supplies, previously determined for some areas and then extended to the entire region. A distributed approach has been used to take into account the spatial variability of climate and landscape features, and depletion coefficients (Kd) have been utilised to take account of the applied deficit. Results show that maximum IWRs are reduced by 19.4% with RDI and by 25.9% with the actual supplies. In conclusion, the strategy of RDI allows optimizing water use with respect to maximum requirements and to farmers’ actual supplies. Key words: irrigation water requirements; water balance model; deficit irrigation; Geographical Information System (GIS); water use optimization; Apulia region. Valutazione dei fabbisogni irrigui delle colture in Puglia. Angela Maria Stella MATARRESE Riassunto Questo studio è focalizzato sulla valutazione e la quantificazione del fabbisogno irriguo nella regione Puglia per l’ottimizzazione dell’uso dell’acqua in agricoltura. Dati climatici, pedologici e di uso del suolo su scala regionale sono stati applicati a un modello computazionale che ha eseguito un bilancio irriguo mensile per un anno climatico medio e che è stato implementato su una piattaforma GIS, al fine di stimare i fabbisogni irrigui massimi ed i fabbisogni irrigui in condizioni di stress idrico controllato.

  • Infopack for You! Cooperativa CLAD - Terlizzi
    Associazione InCo-Molfetta via Enrico de Nicola, 12 – 70056 Molfetta (BA) tel. +39 3286762929, email: [email protected] www.incoweb.org Infopack for you! Cooperativa CLAD - Terlizzi Dear applicant! Thank you for your interest in our project! In this little document you can find all the information which can be useful before applying. Contact person: Luigi Balacco, project coordinator ([email protected]) Hosting organisation: CLAD Some words about Terlizzi The cooperative CLAD is located in the municipality of Terlizzi, a medium size town in the centre of Apulia Region. Terlizzi has around 28.000 inhabitants and its economy is historically linked to agriculture, in fact it is known as the "city of flowers" because of its important crops of flowers and greenhouses. Founded around the sixth century AD, the town derives its name from Terlicium, "place placed among the oaks", which are developed very much in the area. In addition to flowers, Terlizzi's economy is particularly related to textile companies, companies processing agricultural products and crafts, and in particular the production of ceramics and pottery. The climate is generally quite and poor of rain, although the temperature changes are fast and short, due to the wind from the Balkan area. In spite of the fact that our area has good road, railways, air and maritime facilities, and that it has strategic links with the East-Mediterranean and Balkan countries, it is quite distant from the so-called heart of Europe. Apart for the headquarters of Terlizzi the CLAD generally takes part to many other projects and social activities with organizations in other towns around the Province of Bari, for example in Ruvo and Molfetta (7 km far away).

  • The Church and Its Frescoes. by Filip Petcu
    MESSORS A way of life so far behind it’s ahead Fornello Sustainable Preservation Project Directors Giovanni Ragone Tonio Creanza The ancient rupestral site of Fornello is one of the most compelling and historically important sites in the Murgia region of Puglia, Italy. The presence of dozens of rock hewn caves, the evidence of a 3rd century BC settlement together with the remanent structure of an 18th century livestock farm, all situated in a unique, geographic location, represent an historical model demonstrative of the sustainable living practices utilized at the time and how intimately bound those practices were to the dictates of the land, climate and region. One of the caves with Byzantine frescoes comprised of three layers that date to 1100, 1200, and 1350, suggests the presence of an esicasterion - the primordial form of monastery - and documents a link and period in history when Byzantine communities emigrating from the Balkans were establishing themselves in the rupestral settlements of Puglia. The aggregate of these of these fortuitous circumstances is an historical site of special significance demanding proper preservation, research and analysis to gather unique, historical data. However, the site has been in a state of abandon for over a century. Mission Through the crucial process of restoring and preserving the Byzantine frescoes, the rural architecture, the cave dwellings and the historical landscape, Messors’ ultimate aim is to realize Fornello as a living, historical site. By utilizing the practices that were already in place by its original inhabitants, it will serve as a vital model of conservation and sustainable living. Any supplemental energy or infrastructure needs will be derived from renewable resources and technology.

VOC were sampled with diffusive samplers suitable for thermal desorption. The monitoring was planned considering the number of inhabitants and the intensity of the vehicular traffic in each city. The same concentration pattern and the correlation among benzene versus toluene levels in all sites confirmed the presence of a single source, the vehicular traffic, having a strong impact on urban air quality. © 20112009 Published by Elsevier BV Keywords: VOC, metropolitan area, vehicular traffic 1. Introduction In several large world cities air pollutants are increasing over time and sometimes exceed the levels set up by the national ambient air quality standards [1-3]. Among the different sources of air pollutants, the road transport is the sector which mostly contributes to the levels of pollutants in urban areas [4,5].
