“…Previous research has suggested that pines are rarely allergen sensitizers due to their pollen size [14]. Recent studies, however, found that pine pollen is a potential allergen, especially in areas where pine is found abundantly [15, 16].…”

Early Pollen Sensitization in Children Is Dependent upon Regional Aeroallergen Exposure

Introduction. Aeroallergen sensitization occurs at an earlier age than previously noted. The purpose of this paper was to identify which pollens cause early sensitization in young children presenting with rhinitis symptoms. Methods. This paper was a retrospective analysis of skin test results from 2- to 8-year-old patients presenting with a history consistent with allergic rhinitis. Patients were tested to aeroallergens common to the Great Basin along with a histamine and saline control. Pollen counts were obtained from a Reno, NV-certified counting station. Results. 123 children less than 8 years of age were identified. Over 50% of these children were sensitized to at least one aeroallergen. Chemopodaciae, timothy, alfalfa, black walnut, olive, mountain cedar and willow were predominating sensitizing aeroallergens of the Great Basin Region. Pollen counts were notable for a early spring peak for the tree season, grass season in May and weed season in August. Pollen levels continued to November at low levels. Discussion. Aeroallergens causing early sensitization differed from those which had predominately been reported in other regions of the United States. Pediatric allergists should consider performing a local review of sensitizing aeroallergens in their region to assist with identification and management of allergic rhinitis in their youngest patients. Please make style changes as appropriate.

“…So far, several researches have proved that molecular biology is extremely useful also in the field of conservation of cultural assets [18][19][20][21]. Interest in assessing microbial air contamination has particularly increased over the last years, in relation to the potentially harmful effects related to microbial systems that can be amplified by the presence of many other compounds [22][23][24][25][26][27]. In this study, the microbial consortia were revealed and identified in three different Sicilian confined environments, with peculiar structural features, microclimates and uses: the Diocesan Historic Archive, Palermo (documentary funds) [28], the Sibilla Antrum, Marsala (frescoes) [29] and the Saints Cave, Licodia Eubea (mural paintings) [30].…”

Cultural heritage constitutive materials can provide excellent substrates for microbial colonization, highly influenced by thermo-hygrometric parameters. In cultural heritage-related environments, a detrimental microbial load may be present both on manufacts surface and in the aerosol. In this study, bacterial and fungal colonisation has been investigated in three Sicilian confined environments (archive, cave and hypogea), each with peculiar structures and different thermo-hygrometric parameters. Particular attention has been paid to microorganisms able to induce artifacts biodeterioration and to release biological particles in the aerosol (spores, cellular debrides, toxins and allergens) potentially dangerous for the human health (visitors/users). Results provided information on the composition of the biological consortia, highlighting also the symbiotic relationships between micro (cyanobacteria, bacteria and fungi) and macro-organisms (plants, bryophyte and insects). The results of this integrated approach, including molecular biology techniques, are essential for a complete understanding of both microbial colonization of the cultural objects and the potential relationship with illness to human.

“…Grasses (e.g., rye grass) are also known to trigger an allergic response. Following Ambrosia artemisiifolia, grass pollen are known for their high allergic potency than most weeds (Esch et al, 2001;Lewis et al, 1983). Tree pollen can cause an allergic response, but one that is typically less than that of weeds and grasses, although in some regions tree pollen can trigger a significant allergic response.…”

Machine learning has found many applications in remote sensing. These applications range from retrieval algorithms to bias correction, from code acceleration to detection of disease in crops, from classification of pelagic habitats to rock type classification. As a broad subfield of artificial intelligence, machine learning is concerned with algorithms and techniques that allow computers to "learn" by example. The major focus of machine learning is to extract information from data automatically by computational and statistical methods. Over the last decade there has been considerable progress in developing a machine learning methodology for a variety of Earth Science applications involving trace gases, retrievals, aerosol products, land surface products, vegetation indices, and most recently, ocean applications. In this chapter, we will review some examples of how machine learning has already been useful for remote sensing and some likely future applications.
