    This document illustrates in details the raw structure of the Database of Individual Seismogenic Sources, version 3 [Basili et al., 2008; http://diss.rm.ingv.it/diss/] - hereinafter referred to as the Database – and is dedicated at instructing any potential contributor, outside the DISS Working Group, on how to populate it with new seismogenic sources. It is worth of notice that the primary purpose of the Database is to provide a seismogenic source model at regional scale. It is hence usually populated by filling in large regions at once, not record by record

    DISS Version 3.0.4 This version of the Database contains over 100 individual seismogenic sources and over 80 seismogenic areas. Both categories are based on geological/geophysical data and cover the whole Italian territory and some conterminous regions. This version also incorporates: a totally new set of macroseismic sources based on the lately release historical earthquake catalogue: DBMI04, il database delle osservazioni macrosismiche dei terremoti italiani utilizzate per la compilazione del catalogo parametrico CPTI04 [Stucchi et al. (2007); http://emidius.mi.ingv.it/DBMI04/]; several updated sources and a few new sources based on the outcomes of the project INGV-DPC S2 Valutazione del potenziale sismogenetico e probabilità dei forti terremoti in Italia (Assessment of the seismogenic potential and probability of large earthquakes in Italy). This version also includes: over 2,100 selected references to scientific literature specifically pertinent to the identified seismogenic sources; new source-specific pictures selected from the literature, such as geological maps, cross-sections, and photographs. This version of the Database was primarily developed for use among the scientists who participated in the project INGV-DPC S2 "Valutazione del potenziale sismogenetico e probabilità dei forti terremoti in Italia" (Assessment of the seismogenic potential and probability of large earthquakes in Italy) - as the contribution of UR1.1 (task 1) for the project - who are informed on all its possible flaws and limitations. All other users are therefore cautioned in using version 3.0.4 in any application. As a product of the same project were also DISS versions 3.0.2 and 3.0.3.Project “Valutazione del potenziale sismogenetico e probabilità dei forti terremoti in Italia” funded by Italy’s Department for Civil Protection (2005-2007).Published3.2.

    The Database of Individual Seismogenic Sources, version 3.1.1

    An exploratory study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of dehydration in older patients (aged ≥60 years) with and without cognitive impairment (CI) admitted to hospital and to examine associations between dehydration, CI and frailty. Forty-four patients participated and dehydration was assessed within 24 hours of admission and at day 4 or at discharge, whichever occurred first (study exit). Patients’ cognitive function and frailty status were assessed using validated instruments. Twenty-seven (61%) patients had CI and 61% were frail. The prevalence of dehydration at admission was 29% (n=12) and 19% (n=6) at study exit and dehydration status did not differ according to either CI status or frailty status. Within the non-CI group, however, significantly more frail than fit patients were dehydrated at admission (p=0.03). These findings indicate that dehydration is common amongst older hospital patients, and that frailty may increase the risk for dehydration in cognitively intact older patients

    The Database of Individual Seismogenic Sources, DISS 3.1.1: new twists and turns

    No full text
    The Database of Individual Seismogenic Sources (DISS) was conceived at the end of the 1990s by a group of scientists at Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia. The database was designed to host data about seismogenic source models intended to serve as geological input for ground-shaking SHA applications and was continuously updated since then. In 2005 there was a big turn in this process as we launched a new version of the database (DISS 3) which augmented the database with two innovative categories. The first, now named “Composite Seismogenic Source”, was intended to overcome the inherent difficulties in identifying fault segment boundaries. The second, named “Debated Seismogenic Source”, was devised to host tectonic information about active faults that have been proposed in the literature as potential seismogenic sources but are not fully parameterized or are considered to be not reliable or have been deprecated by subsequent work. In 2005 the database was first made available to the public through a specifically designed web-based GIS application. This new database is now being widely used in various branches of ground-shaking SHA practice and tsunami hazard. The main strength of this database is that it stores fault parameters in a native 3D and flexible conceptual model. Lately, we also developed strategies to make it testable with independent data under a number of different tectonic and seismic hypotheses. During the years, DISS brought together a large amount of published and original data on Italian seismogenic sources having a potential for a magnitude 5.5+ earthquake and is now being extended to the rest of the Euro-Mediterranean area. We present highlights on the identification and characterization of new seismogenic sources in three key-areas in Italy, namely Lombardia/Veneto (Southern Alps), Adriatic Sea, and Abruzzo/Molise (central Apennines). These new sources describe youthful structures of the Alpine south-verging contractional system, the external fold-and-thrust system in the Adriatic offshore, and the extensional domain of the inner central Apennines.UnpublishedMontpellier (France)3.2.
