The asymmetric impact of human capital on economic growth
(2021)This paper re-examines the effect of human capital on countries’ economic growth paths. It investigates the significance and the asymmetric impact of human capital stock on economic growth. We apply both a nonparametric ... -
Attitudes and Preferences of University Student Bicyclists: The Tale of Two Greek Cities
(2021)Recently, the share of bicycles among transportation modes has been rising. This is also the case in university campuses that have seen an increase of bicycling as a transport mode. Transportation authorities globally ... -
Beetle-robot hybrid interaction: sex, lateralization and mating experience modulate behavioural responses to robotic cues in the larger grain borer Prostephanus truncatus (Horn)
(2020)Ethorobotics, a new fascinating field of biorobotics, proposes the use of robotic replicas as an advanced method for investigating animal behaviour. This novel research approach can also encourage the development of advanced ... -
Big spatial and spatio-temporal data analytics systems
(2021)We are living in the era of Big Data, and Spatial and Spatio-temporal Data are not an exception. Mobile apps, cars, GPS devices, ships, airplanes, medical devices, IoT devices, etc. are generating explosive amounts of data ... -
Biodegradation of anthelmintics in soils: does prior exposure of soils to anthelmintics accelerate their dissipation?
(2022)Anthelmintics (AHs) control animal infections with gastrointestinal nematodes. They reach soil through animal faeces deposited on soils or through manuring. Although soil constitutes a major AH sink, we know little about ... -
Biomarker assessment in ROC curve analysis using the length of the curve as an index of diagnostic accuracy: the binormal model framework
(2020)In receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) is undoubtedly the most widely used index of diagnostic accuracy for the assessment of the utility of a biomarker or for the comparison ... -
Biomechanical evaluation of three patellar fixation techniques for MPFL reconstruction: Load to failure did not differ but interference screw stabilization was stiffer than suture anchor and suture-knot fixation
(2021)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the maximum load to failure and stiffness of three medial patella-femoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction techniques: (i) suture anchor fixation (SA), (ii) interference screw ... -
Bioprocess performance, transformation pathway, and bacterial community dynamics in an immobilized cell bioreactor treating fludioxonil-contaminated wastewater under microaerophilic conditions
(2022)Fludioxonil is a post-harvest fungicide contained in effluents produced by fruit packaging plants, which should be treated prior to environmental dispersal. We developed and evaluated an immobilized cell bioreactor, operating ... -
Biotreatment and bacterial succession in an upflow immobilized cell bioreactor fed with fludioxonil wastewater
(2021)The large quantities and the persistent nature of fungicide wastewaters have increased the efforts towards a sustainable technological solution. In this context, fludioxonil-contaminated wastewater was treated in an upflow ... -
A Blockchained Secure and Integrity-Preserved Architecture for Military Logistics Operations
(2022)The employment of 5G Internet of Things (5G-IoT), smart automation, and AI analytics can provide improved military logistics, by enhancing inventory control, reordering, accuracy, flexibility mobility, and real-time ... -
Brainstorming Fuzzy Cognitive Maps for Camera-Based Assistive Navigation
(2022)Motivated by the brainstorming process of human beings, a novel learning Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) model named Brainstorming Fuzzy Cognitive Map (BFCM) is proposed. The proposed model is based on a state-of-the-art ... -
Business Model Development Based on Sharing Systems and Data Exchange for Sustainable City Logistics
(2021)Transport is adapting to the rapid development of technology, adopting new trends and focusing on people and environment. At the same time, the needs of citizens’ mobility and goods’ transportation are complex, requiring ... -
Capture Fisheries and Aquaculture Exploitation in the Aegean Sea Archipelago
(2020)The Aegean Sea is an insular archipelago in North Mediterranean Sea. It exhibits 60 inhabited islands, more than 1,400 small islands and more than 2,500 outcrops and rocks. Its total area is in excess of 215,000 km2. ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity in people who have rheumatoid arthritis at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease: a cross-sectional study
(2021)Lower cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and physical activity (PA) associate with higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, but the relationship between CRF and PA in people who have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at an increased ... -
Cecorectal (CRA) versus ileorectal (IRA) anastomosis after colectomy for slow transit constipation (STC): a meta-analysis
(2022)Introduction: We conducted this meta-analysis, to compare cecorectal (CRA) and ileorectal anastomosis (IRA), regarding perioperative safety and efficacy, in patients submitted to colectomy for refractory slow transit ... -
Change detection and convolution neural networks for fall recognition
(2020)Accurate fall detection is a crucial research challenge since the time delay from fall to first aid is a key factor that determines the consequences of a fall. Wearable sensors allow a reliable way for motion tracking, ... -
Citric acid-based deep eutectic solvent for the anthocyanin recovery from Hibiscus sabdariffa through microwave-assisted extraction
(2022)In the current study, Hibiscus sabdariffa has been extracted by microwave-assisted extraction (MAEX). Citric acid-based deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been specially designed, where a hydrogen bond donor (HBD) (glycerol ... -
City Resilience and Smartness: Interrelation and Reciprocity
