Insulin-Induced Electrochemical Changes in Pleura are Associated with the Location within the Pleural Cavity
(2011)Aim: We investigated the effects of insulin on the electrophysiology of sheep pleural specimens obtained from the upper and lower parts of the pleural cavity and the insulin receptor abundance in these regions. Materials ... -
Interrill erosion on cultivated Greek soils: modelling sediment delivery
(2006)For interrill erosion, raindrop-induced detachment and transport of sediment by rainfall-disturbed sheet flow are the predominant processes, while detachment by sheet flow and transport by raindrop impact are negligible. ... -
Linear stability analysis and dynamic simulations of free convection in a differentially heated cavity in the presence of a horizontal magnetic field and a uniform heat source
(2006)The steady state and stability of two-dimensional free convection flow in a square cavity is examined, in the presence of a uniform internal heat source and a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicular to gravity and ... -
Noise spectra of K+ and NH4+ ions at over-limiting current in an electrochemical system with a cation exchange membrane
(2013)The present work investigates the effect of the counter ion nature on the noise of the over-limiting current (Iov). Moreover, the electrochemical methods, current voltage curve (I-V) and the chronopotentiometry (V-t) ... -
Regulatory volume decrease of rat kidney principal cells after successive hypo-osmotic shocks
(2013)Outer Medullary Collecting Duct (OMCD) principal cells are exposed to significant changes of the extracellular osmolarity and thus the analysis of their regulatory volume decrease (RVD) function is of great importance in ... -
Role of siderophores in cystic fibrosis pathogenesis: Foes or friends?
(2009)Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common genetic disorders among Caucasians. CF patients are susceptible to chronic lung infections caused by diverse microorganisms, therefore CF should be regarded as a polymicrobial ... -
Stochastic analysis and prioritization of the influence of parameter uncertainty on the predicted pressure profile in heterogeneous, unsaturated soils
(2006)This article utilizes a Monte Carlo stochastic framework to investigate the influence on the mean and variance of the predicted mean pressure head profile of statistical assumptions regarding the parameters that enter the ... -
Sulfur and carbon tolerance of BaCeO3-BaZrO3 proton-conducting materials
(2015)In the present work, BaCe0.8-xZrxY0.2O3-delta-based ceramic samples (BCZYx) are prepared and their chemical stability in corrosive atmospheres containing high concentrations of H2O, CO2 and H2S is investigated. Based on ... -
Surface wettability effects on flow in rough wall nanochannels
(2012)The effect of rough-wall/fluid interaction on flow in nanochannels is investigated by NEMD. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces are studied for walls with nearly atomic-size rectangular protrusions and cavities. Our NEMD ... -
Trace mineral content of conventional, organic and courtyard eggs analysed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
(2009)We investigated the contents in yolk and albumen of the trace minerals Se, Zn, Mn, Co, Cu, Mo, V, Cr, Ni, TI. As and Cd in eggs from hens from three husbandry systems by ICP-MS. Conventional hens were given a commercial ... -
The Water Permeability Reduction After Successive Hypo-Osmotic Shocks in Kidney Principal Cells is Apically Regulated
(2014)Background/Aims: Renal principal cells maintain their intracellular water and electrolyte content despite significant fluctuations of the extracellular water and salt concentrations. Their water permeability decreases ...
