A 12-year survey of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in Greece: ST80-IV epidemic?
(2014)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of both healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) and community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) infections. Severe MRSA infections have been associated with the ... -
Analysis of heat affected zone in welded aluminum alloys using inverse and direct modeling
(2008)The concept of constructing parameter spaces for process control and the prediction of properties within the heat affected zone (HAZ) of welds using inverse modeling is examined. These parameter spaces can be, in principle, ... -
Association analysis of the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism and complex quantitative body composition and performance phenotypes in adolescent Greeks
(2007)The functional allele (577R) of ACTN3, which encodes human alpha-actinin-3, has been reported to be associated with elite athletic status and with response to resistance training, while the nonfunctional allele (577X) has ... -
Circulation of intergenotype recombinant noroviruses GII.9/GII.6 from 2006 to 2011 in central Greece
(2014)Noroviruses (NoVs) are members of the Caliciviridae family and are recognized as a worldwide cause of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis. Based on the genetic analysis of the RdRp and capsid regions, human NoVs are divided ... -
Complete genomic characterization of an intertypic Sabin 3/Sabin 2 capsid recombinant
(2008)The genetic properties of strain K/2002, isolated from fecal samples of a 7-month-old child who had received his first oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) dose at the age of 3 months, are described. Preliminary sequencing ... -
Computational kinetics simulation of the dissolution and coarsening in the HAZ during laser welding of 6061-T6 Al-alloy
(2007)Laser beam welding (LBW) has become common practice in the production lines of several industrial sectors including the electronics, domestic appliances, and automotive industries. The advantages of LBW over conventional ... -
Correlation between recombination junctions and RNA secondary structure elements in poliovirus Sabin strains
(2010)In order to test the hypothesis that RNA structural elements promote the distribution of certain types of recombination junctions in each one of the 2C and 3D poliovirus genomic regions (Sabin 3/Sabin 2 or Sabin 1 in 2C ... -
Cross-amplified microsatellites in the European cherry fly, Rhagoletis cerasi: medium polymorphic-highly informative markers
(2011)The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a major pest of cherries in Europe and parts of Asia. Despite its big economic significance, there is a lack of studies on the genetic structure ... -
Decoupling of the general scalar field mode and the solution space for Bianchi type I and V cosmologies coupled to perfect fluid sources
(2006)The scalar field degree of freedom in Einstein's plus matter field equations is decoupled for Bianchi type I and V general cosmological models. The source, apart from the minimally coupled scalar field with arbitrary ... -
Determination of antigenic properties of vaccine derived poliovirus strains
(2010)In this study, the immunity level of the southern Greek population in the 1-10-year, 11-20-year, 21-30-year and 31-40-year age groups with regard to Sabin vaccine strains and a collection of 11 recombinant and three ... -
Effect of channel width on the primary instability of inclined film flow
(2010)A procedure is developed to detect the onset of interfacial instability in inclined film flows (with estimated accuracy better than 5%) and is used to show that the finite width of experimental channels stabilizes the ... -
Effects of temper condition and corrosion on the fatigue performance of a laser-welded Al-Cu-Mg-Ag (2139) alloy
(2010)The effects of temper condition and corrosion on the fatigue behavior of a laser beam welded Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy (2139) have been investigated. Natural aging (T3 temper) and artificial aging (T8 temper) have been applied ... -
Effects of Wolbachia on fitness of the Mediterranean fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(2011)Wolbachia pipientis is a widespread endosymbiont of insects and other arthropods exerting a wide range of biological effects on their hosts. A growing number of recent studies document the influence of Wolbachia on ... -
Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Removal of Recurrent and Regrowing Pituitary Adenomas: Experience on a 59-Patient Series
(2013)OBJECTIVE: The nature of the pituitary adenomas itself exposes the possibility of a recurrence of the tumor. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach for ... -
Estimating genetic correlations based on phenotypic data: a simulation-based method
(2011)Knowledge of genetic correlations is essential to understand the joint evolution of traits through correlated responses to selection, a difficult and seldom, very precise task even with easy-to-breed species. Here, a ... -
Evaluation and Properties of the Budding Yeast Phosphoproteome
(2012)We have assembled a reliable phosphoproteomic data set for budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and have investigated its properties. Twelve publicly available phosphoproteome data sets were triaged to obtain a subset ... -
Experimental evidence for a short-wave global mode in film flow along periodic corrugations
(2013)The primary instability of liquid film flow along periodically corrugated substrates is studied experimentally. Two different wall shapes, of the same wavelength and height, are tested for a wide range of inclinations. It ... -
Full-Genome Sequence Analysis of a Multirecombinant Echovirus 3 Strain Isolated from Sewage in Greece
