Activation of general control nonderepressible 2 kinase protects human glomerular endothelial cells from harmful high-glucose-induced molecular pathways
(2016)Purpose: Considering the referred beneficial effects of protein restriction on diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the role of renal endothelium in its pathogenesis, we evaluated the effect of general control nonderepressible 2 ... -
Allopurinol protects human glomerular endothelial cells from high glucose-induced reactive oxygen species generation, p53 overexpression and endothelial dysfunction
(2018)Purpose: Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction in capillary endothelial cells is a prerequisite for the development of diabetic nephropathy. Inhibition of xanthine oxidase, another ROS generator, ... -
American and Greek Children’s Visual Images of Scientists: Enduring or Fading Stereotypes?
(2016)This study explores American and Greek primary pupils’ visual images of scientists by means of two nonverbal data collection tasks to identify possible convergences and divergences. Specifically, it aims to investigate ... -
Assessment of the impact of the fumigant dimethyl disulfide on the dynamics of major fungal plant pathogens in greenhouse soils
(2016)Soil fumigants constitute a major tool for the control of soil borne fungal plant pathogens in protected crops. Dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) is a novel soil fumigant used either alone or in combination with other fumigants ... -
Bioavailability and health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in Thriasio Plain, near Athens, Greece
(2017)Elevated concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are usually found in areas of intense industrial activity. Thriasio Plain is a plain near Athens, Greece, where most of the heavy industry of the country has ... -
Biosolids application affects the competitive sorption and lability of cadmium, copper, nickel, lead, and zinc in fluvial and calcareous soils
(2017)The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of biosolids on the competitive sorption and lability of the sorbed Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in fluvial and calcareous soils. Competitive sorption isotherms were ... -
Characterization of the biodegradation, bioremediation and detoxification capacity of a bacterial consortium able to degrade the fungicide thiabendazole
(2017)Thiabendazole (TBZ) is a persistent fungicide used in the post-harvest treatment of fruits. Its application results in the production of contaminated effluents which should be treated before their environmental discharge. ... -
Chorionic villi derived mesenchymal like stem cells and expression of embryonic stem cells markers during long-term culturing
(2016)Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be obtained from a variety of human tissues. MSCs derived from placental chorionic villi of the first trimester are likely to resemble, biologically, embryonic stem cells (ESC), due to the ... -
A conceptual business model for an agroforestry consulting company
(2016)While socioeconomic and environmental benefits of agroforestry are widely appreciated in the tropics, they were almost neglected from the plans for agronomic development implemented up to early 2000 as set by major policy ... -
Correction to: Biosolids application affects the competitive sorption and lability of cadmium, copper, nickel, lead, and zinc in fluvial and calcareous soils (Environmental Geochemistry and Health, (2017), 39, 6, (1365-1379), 10.1007/s10653-017-9927-4)
(2018)Unfortunately, in the original publication of the article, Prof. Yong Sik Ok’s affiliation was incorrectly published. The author’s affiliation is as follows. 1. Kangwon National University, Chuncheon 24341, Republic of ... -
Effect of synthetic insecticides on the larvae of Coccinella septempunctata from Greek populations
(2017)Coccinella septempunctata L. is one of the most abundant ladybird species in Greece, preying on several aphid species and other arthropods, of which many are pests of cultivated plants. These pests are usually controlled ... -
Environmentally Responsible and Conventional Market Indices’ Reaction to Natural and Anthropogenic Adversity: A Comparative Analysis
(2016)It is widely claimed that climate change has increased the magnitude and the frequency of natural phenomena such as storms, droughts, and floods with the concomitant costs in terms of damages and victims. This paper using ... -
Evaluation of Water Resources Management Strategies to Overturn Climate Change Impacts on Lake Karla Watershed
(2016)The effects of climate change on meteorology, hydrology and ecology have become a priority area for research and for water management. It is crucial to identify, simulate, evaluate and, finally, adopt water resources ... -
Flood inundation mapping sensitivity to riverine spatial resolution and modelling approach
(2016)An innovative approach in the investigation of complex landscapes for hydraulic modelling applications is the use of terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) that can lead to a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM). Another ... -
Fluid Penetration in a Deformable Permeable Web Moving Past a Stationary Rigid Solid Cylinder
(2017)We present an analysis for the process of fluid infiltration into a deformable, thin and permeable web that moves in close proximity over a rigid and stationary solid cylinder. While this is a process of significant interest ... -
The fractal dimension of a citation curve: quantifying an individual’s scientific output using the geometry of the entire curve
(2017)Assorted bibliometric indices have been proposed leading to ambiguity in choosing the appropriate metric for evaluation. On the other hand, attempts to fit universal distribution patterns to scientific output have not ... -
The Globalization and Peace Nexus: Findings Using Two Composite Indices
(2017)Drawing on the democratic peace theory, the democracy promoting globalisation hypothesis and the conflict inhibiting effects of international trade literature the paper examines empirically the link between peace and ... -
Governance Convergence Among the EU28?
(2016)The paper attempts to detect trends of convergence in terms of governance among the EU member-states. This is an issue that has not hitherto been examined. The empirical analysis provided utilizes the worldwide governance ... -
