Accurate building extraction from high-resolution aerial imagery is essential for numerous applications in remote sensing, urban planning, and disaster management. While AI-based methods enable fast, scalable, and cost-effective segmentation of building footprints, their development is often limited by the scarce availability of large-scale, geographically diverse datasets with reliable pixel-level annotations. In this work, we present SegFVG, a large-scale, high-resolution, and geographically diverse dataset for building segmentation, focused on the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in northeastern Italy. The dataset includes over 15,000 true orthophoto aerial image tiles, each of size 2000 × 2000 pixels with a ground sampling distance of 0.1 meters, paired with precise pixel-level building segmentation masks. Covering approximately 616 square kilometers, SegFVG captures a broad spectrum of urban, suburban, and rural settings across varied landscapes, including mountainous, flat, and coastal areas. Alongside the dataset, we provide benchmark results using several deep learning models. These support the usability of SegFVG for the development of accurate segmentation models and serve as a baseline to accelerate future research in building segmentation.

The Adula unit (Central Alps) exposes high- and ultra-high-pressure (HP-UHP) metamorphic rocks, providing key insights into the subduction and exhumation dynamics of the former distal European margin. In the San Bernardino pass area (Switzerland) it is possible to reconstruct the tectonometamorphic evolution or the Adula unit from HP conditions to exhumation and subsequent shearing during orogen-parallel extension. The P-T-d-t evolution of eclogites and host rocks fhas been determined by thermodynamic modelling and Ar-Ar dating of syntectonic minerals. This dataset contains location and description of studied samples, mineral chemistry data obtaine by electron microprobe analyses and Ar-Ar data on white micas in eclogites and hosting orthogneisses.

20S proteasome inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma but induce chemotherapy-related neurotoxicity. Here, we compared the neurotoxicity of bortezomib (BTZ) and carfilzomib (CFZ), a less neurotoxic drug, by investigating preclinical models and dissecting the underlying molecular mechanisms using a multidimensional approach. We developed a new mouse model of CFZ-induced neuropathy and compared it to an established BTZ model using behavioral, morphological/morphometric, and proteomic analyses showing that the more severe neurotoxicity correlated with loss of nerve fibers and protein expression changes. Moreover, mitotoxicity and cytoskeleton alterations were comparatively investigated in terms of onset of altered mitochondrial morphology, functionality, and trafficking, alongside cytoskeletal proteins expression and axonal degeneration in cultured mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons. Both compounds significantly altered mitochondrial network organization and energy production after 24 hours of treatment. However, only BTZ increased microtubule hyper-stabilization by accumulation of tubulin post-translational modifications and induced early axonal degeneration within the first 10 hours, severely impacting mitochondrial trafficking after 24 hours. Taken together, these results point at mitochondrial toxicity as a common downstream effect of both treatments, while BTZ-specific off-target activity on tubulin hyper-stability may initiate early mitochondrial trafficking alterations, a new knowledge helping to inform future mitigation approaches. Data refer to each figure in the article describing the in vivo and in vitro effects of the treatment with proteasome inhibitors Bortezomib and Carfilzomib.

Data refer to the contribute of cytokines and macrophages in two chronic models of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) comparing paclitaxel (PTX)- and oxaliplatin (OHP)-induced CIPN in rats. Results consists in behavioural, morphological/ morphometrical and neurophysiological assessments, obtained with the administration of PTX 10 mg/kg once a week and OHP 5 mg/kg twice a week.
