Ca, P and collagen fibrils period measurements in the vertebras of lordotic Sparus aurata
(2015)Skeletal deformities of Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) is a major factor that effects the production cost, the external morphology of the fish as well as its survival and growth. Adult individuals of S. aurata were ... -
A detailed analysis of thermal and chemical compatibility of cathode materials suitable for BaCe0.8Y0.2O3−Δ and BaZr0.8Y0.2O3−Δ proton electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cell application
(2017)The aim of this work is to identify suitable cathode materials for SOFCs based on proton-conducting electrolytes (SOFC-H+) in terms of long-term and thermal cycling stability along with a low polarization resistance. To ... -
Determinants of Bone Outcomes in Adolescent Athletes at Baseline: The PRO-BONE Study
(2017)Purpose The determinants of areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and hip geometry estimates in adolescent athletes are poorly understood. This study aimed to identify the determinants of aBMD and hip geometry estimates in ... -
Do Calcium Supplements Predispose to Urolithiasis?
(2017)Purpose of Review: The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of calcium supplements, with or without vitamin D, in urinary stone formation in healthy population and in osteoporotic patients as well. Moreover, ... -
Effect of different calcium sources and calcium intake on shell quality and bone characteristics of laying hens at sexual maturity and end of lay
(2009)The influence of supplemental calcium given in flour or granular form and calcium intake on bone properties and egg characteristics of brown-egg laying hens was investigated at sexual maturity and at end of lay. Physical ... -
Effect of nature of the ceramic component of the composite electrodes based on La<inf>1.7</inf>Ca(Sr)<inf>0.3</inf>NiO<inf>4+δ</inf> on their electrochemical performance
(2015)The manuscript focuses on the electrochemical performance of the La<inf>1.7</inf>Ca<inf>0.3</inf>NiO<inf>4+δ</inf> (LCNO) and La<inf>1.7</inf>Sr<inf>0.3</inf>NiO<inf>4+δ</inf> (LSNO) based composite cathodes with ... -
Enhanced Ca2+ Entry Sustains the Activation of Akt in Glucose Deprived SH-SY5Y Cells
(2022)The two crucial cellular insults that take place during cerebral ischemia are the loss of oxygen and loss of glucose, which can both activate a cascade of events leading to neuronal death. In addition, the toxic overactivation ... -
Istaroxime Inhibits Motility and Down-Regulates Orai1 Expression, SOCE and FAK Phosphorylation in Prostate Cancer Cells
(2017)Background/Aims: Istaroxime is a validated inotropic Na + /K + ATPase inhibitor currently in development for the treatment of various cardiac conditions. Recent findings established that this steroidal drug exhibits potent ... -
Medium-density fibreboards bonded with phenol-formaldehyde resin and calcium lignosulfonate as an eco-friendly additive
(2021)The potential of addition of calcium lignosulfonate as an eco-friendly additive with a phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin, at different ratios, to produce medium-density fibreboards (MDF) with acceptable properties, was ... -
Responses of sweet pepper (Capsicum annum L.) cultivated in a closed hydroponic system to variable calcium concentrations in the nutrient solution
(2021)BACKGROUND: The use of water containing calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2) at excessively high concentrations in closed hydroponic crops can cause calcium ion (Ca2+) accumulation in the recycled nutrient solution (NS) and ... -
Scarping of artificially-nourished mixed sand and gravel beaches: Sedimentological characteristics of Hayling Island beach, Southern England
(2018)Beach cliffing is a wide-spread characteristic of artificially-replenished beaches, which has many undesirable engineering, environmental and economic consequences. A sedimentological study undertaken on the replenished ... -
Skeletal deformity of scoliosis in gilthead seabreams (Sparus aurata): Association with changes to calcium-phosphor hydroxyapatite salts and collagen fibers
(2019)The development of skeletal deformities in seabream farming affects fish growth, survival, and production costs. Collagen distribution in different fish tissues might be correlated with swimming behavior. This study ... -
Soil spatial variability in small Greek apple orchards
(2007)In the present study, the spatial variability of some soil physical and chemical properties in a 0.8 ha apple orchard were studied. Sixty soil samples were taken to a depth of 30 cm and analyzed for the following soil ... -
Structural, electrical and transport properties of iron doped calcium titanates in view of applications for hydrogen production through the electrochemical conversion of water
(2009)The present work aims at the investigation of the structural, electrical and transport properties of a series of iron doped calcium titanates (CaTi1-xFexO3-δ) as membrane material for hydrogen production through the ... -
Synaptic Plasticity: A Unifying Model to Address Some Persisting Questions
(2011)Since it was first observed, synaptic plasticity has been considered as the experimental paradigm most likely to provide us with an understanding of how information is stored in the vertebrate brain. Various types have ... -
