2018 Practice guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

Abstract: These practice guidelines on the management of arterial hypertension are a concise summary of the more extensive ones prepared by the Task Force jointly appointed by the European Society of Hypertension and the European Society of Cardiology. These guidelines have been prepared on the basis of the best available evidence on all issues deserving recommendations; their role must be educational and not prescriptive or coercive for the management of individual subjects who may differ widely in their personal, medical and cultural characteristics. The members of the Task Force have participated independently in the preparation of these guidelines, drawing on their academic and clinical experience and by objective examination and interpretation of all available literature. A disclosure of their potential conflict of interest is reported on the websites of the ESH and the ESC.

Helium Nanodroplets: An Overview

Abstract: We review the physics of helium nanodroplets with emphasis on theoretical aspects that have been the subject of recent research, like 3He and mixed 3He− 4He droplets, vortices in droplets and droplets on weakly attractive substrates, and in others that have not been previously reviewed in detail. Whenever possible, we compare results from different theoretical methods, with the aim of assessing the capabilities and limitations of the more phenomenological ones, that often constitute the only instrument to address some of the questions raised by current experiments.

Soil erosion assessment on tillage and alternative soil managements in a Sicilian vineyard

Abstract: Mediterranean crops favor high erosion rates. Vineyards use to reach the highest soil and water losses due to the lack of vegetation cover. A topographical approach by means of the use of vineyards poles as fixed reference point as erosion markers allowed to quantify high and non-sustainable soil erosion rates on the Sicilian vineyards during 9 years. In order to develop strategies to control the soil losses, seven land managements were selected and applied in a typical blanc wine grape irrigated vineyard located in southwestern Sicily. Comparable plots were managed traditionally using conventional tillage and alternatively using various cover crops: (1) Vicia faba; (2) V. faba and Vicia sativa; (3) Trifolium subterraneum, Festuca rubra, and Lolium perenne; (4) T. subterraneum, F. rubra, and Festuca ovina; (5) Triticum durum; and (6) T. durum and V. sativa. To estimate the soil losses the C factor of the USLE was calculated. And to monitor the water and sediment yield, Gerlach troughs were installed on the vineyard inter-row. Runoff and erosion were measured after each rainfall event from November 2005 to April 2007. Both runoff and erosion were significantly reduced when cover crops of T. subterraneum, F. rubra, and L. perenne; and T. subterraneum, F. rubra, and F. ovina were sown. The least effective management systems for soil erosion were conventional tillage and alternative management using the V. faba cover crop. Our results suggest that planting the appropriate cover crops provides an effective soil and water management system for Sicilian vineyards which will make sustainable the wine and grapes production under Mediterranean climate conditions.
