Administration of a long-acting antiparasitic to pre-pubertal ewe-lambs in Greece results in earlier reproductive activity and improved reproductive performance
(2011)We studied the reproductive effects of administration of a long-acting antiparasitic (moxidectin) given to pre-pubertal ewe-lambs in Greece at the beginning of the reproductive season. 45 animals, naturally infected with ... -
Are Sample Sizes Clear and Justified in RCTs Published in Dental Journals?
(2014)Sample size calculations are advocated by the CONSORT group to justify sample sizes in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The aim of this study was primarily to evaluate the reporting of sample size calculations, to ... -
Assessment of nutrients and heavy metals in the surface sediments of the artificially lake water reservoir Karla, Thessaly, Greece
(2015)In this research, the sediment quality of the recently reconstructed Lake Karla (central Greece) was evaluated by monitoring the nutrient loadings and heavy metal concentrations in 16 sites during the initial period of the ... -
Assessment of vulnerable freshwater ecosystems and various aquatic effluents by means of ecotoxicological assays
(2015)A battery of ecotoxicological assays of different trophic chain levels has been performed for water and sediment samples of two Greek vulnerable freshwater ecosystems (Karla Lake in Thessaly Region and Koronia Lake in ... -
Assessment of water requirements of crops for the reuse of municipal wastewaters from the wastewater treatment plant at Patras, Greece
(2006)The possibilities of reuse, for irrigation, of the treated wastewaters produced in the biological wastewater treatment plant at Patras, Greece, have been examined. The practice of water reuse in soils, and cultivation, ... -
Bacterial flora and risk of infection of the ovine teat duct and mammary gland throughout lactation
(2007)We collected samples of teat duct material and mammary secretion from ewes in three farms (flock A, polyparous n = 7; flock B, polyparous n = 6, primiparous n = 4; flock C, polyparous n = 4): 14 samples immediately after ... -
A brief exposure to low pH prior to refrigerated storage reduces the motility and viability of goldfish sperm (Carassius auratus, Linnaeus, 1758)
(2015)Optimal conditions of short-term storage of fish sperm are important for successful artificial reproduction protocols or incubation of sperm in a cryoprotecting medium for successful sperm cryopreservation. The influence ... -
Can statin therapy reduce the risk of melanoma? A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
(2010)A growing body of literature suggests that statins may have a chemopreventive potential against melanoma through pleiotropic anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antiangiogenesis mechanisms. Our aim was to examine this ... -
CHANGES IN CYTOCHROME C OXIDASE (CCO) AND LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE (LDH) ENZYME ACTIVITY OF THE WHITE EPAXIAL MUSCLE TISUE OF SEA BAS (DICENTRARCHUS LABRAX L.) AS SHELF-LIFE PREDICTIVE INDICES DURING ICE-STORAGE
(2010)Fish freshness can be evaluated by sensory, physical and biochemical parameters. The purpose of the present work was to evaluate the potential utilisation of enzyme activity changes as indicators of shelf life in ice-stored ... -
Comparison and assessment of the monitoring data of two REMOS stations in Nestos and Pagoneri for the year 2004. The base for an integrated water management
(2009)The monitoring results of two "REMOS" telemetric stations, in River Nestos, are compared. The first one is situated at the Nestos Delta, near Hrisoupoli (Remote Station - RS "Nestos"), and the second one is situated at the ... -
A comprehensive review of the implementation of hazard analysis critical control point (HACCP) to the production of flour and flour-based products
(2005)The production of flour and semolina and their ensuing products, such as bread, cake, spaghetti, noodles, and cornflakes, is of major importance, because these products constitute some of the main ingredients of the human ... -
THE DETERMINANTS OF CONSUMPTION FOR ORGANIC AQUACULTURE PRODUCTS-EVIDENCE FROM GREECE
(2014)This study investigates Greek consumers' behavior towards organic aquaculture products, identifying possible distinct consumer groups and examining possible linkages between consumer characteristics and marketing aspects ... -
Effects of cover optical properties on screenhouse radiative environment and sweet pepper productivity
(2014)The effects of cover optical properties on screenhouse radiative environment and sweet pepper productivity were investigated in a Mediterranean climate (Eastern Greece) under three covering materials (i) a pearl insect-proof ... -
Effects of fertilization and tillage system on growth and crude protein content of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Wild.): An alternative forage crop
(2014)A field experiment was conducted to determine the effects of fertilization and tillage on growth, yield and quality of quinoa crop (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.). The agronomic performance and nutritive value of quinoa was ... -
Elimination of motion, pulsatile flow and cross-talk artifacts using blade sequences in lumbar spine MR imaging

Environmental Kuznets Curve for sulfur: evidence using GMM estimation and random coefficient panel data models
(2003)The purpose of this study is to test empirically the hypothesis of the inverted U-shaped relationship between environmental damage from sulfur emissions and economic growth as expressed by GDP. Using a large database of ... -
Environmental Kuznets curves: Bayesian evidence from switching regime models
(2001)The purpose of the paper is to test empirically the existence of an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), using switching regime models along with cross-sectional data and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to perform ... -
