Association between heavy precipitation events and waterborne outbreaks in four Nordic countries, 1992-2012
(2016)We conducted a matched case-control study to examine the association between heavy precipitation events and waterborne outbreaks (WBOs) by linking epidemiological registries and meteorological data between 1992 and 2012 ... -
Association of melatonin administration in pregnant ewes with growth, redox status and immunity of their offspring
(2021)In this study, the effects of melatonin treatment on growth, redox status and immunity in prenatally stressed newborn lambs were evaluated. Thirty-seven newborn lambs were allocated into two groups (melatonin-MEL and ... -
Early embryo losses, progesterone and pregnancy associated glycoproteins levels during summer heat stress in dairy cows
(2021)Objectives of this study were to characterize the effects of heat stress on pregnancy associated glycoproteins (PAG) and progesterone and its involvement in embryo survival. In trial 1, blood samples collected from days ... -
Effect of Feeding Linseed Oil and Vitamin A on Production Performance, Egg Characteristics and Egg Yolk Fatty Acids in Laying Hens under Sub-tropical Conditions
(2022)In the present study, linseed oil and vitamin A were fed to the laying hens during hot summer months to produce n-3 PUFA-enriched eggs. Two hundred and forty White Leghorn hens were randomly divided into 24 replicates and ... -
Efficient and targeted COVID-19 border testing via reinforcement learning
(2021)Throughout the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, countries have relied on a variety of ad hoc border control protocols to allow for non-essential travel while safeguarding public health, from quarantining all ... -
Evidence for age-related differences in heat acclimatisation responsiveness
(2020)New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Repeated heat exposure during the summer months can enhance heat loss in humans (seasonal heat acclimatisation), but does the magnitude of that enhancement differ ... -
Geochemical modeling of mercury in coastal groundwater
(2022)The systematic analysis of groundwater in the Greek island of Skiathos revealed a seasonal increase of total mercury concentrations after the extensive groundwater abstraction during the busy and heavily touristic summer ... -
Population density, size structure, and reproductive cycle of the comestible sea urchin sphaerechinus granularis (Echinodermata: Echinoidea) in the pagasitikos gulf (aegean sea)
(2020)Sphaerechinus granularis is a common grazer that lives in various sublittoral habitats, displaying typical covering behavior; i.e., putts shell-fragments, pebbles, and algae on its test. It is an edible species of increasing ... -
Proposed framework for forecasting heat-effects on motor-cognitive performance in the Summer Olympics
(2021)Heat strain impairs performance across a broad spectrum of sport disciplines. The impeding effects of hyperthermia and dehydration are often ascribed to compromised cardiovascular and muscular functioning, but expert ... -
Season of birth and multiple sclerosis: a systematic review and multivariate meta-analysis
(2020)Season of birth is considered to be associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) although some findings opposing to this assumption raise doubts about the seasonality pattern in MS births. The present work synthesizes the ... -
Seasonal cellular stress responses of commercially important invertebrates at different habitats of the North Aegean Sea
(2020)In many aquatic species, the negative effect of temperature variations has a significant impact on physiological performance since beyond Tp (upper pejus) and Tc (critical temperatures), according to the oxygen- and ... -
Source apportionment of PM10 and PM2.5 in major urban Greek agglomerations using a hybrid source-receptor modeling process
(2017)A hybrid source-receptor modeling process was assembled, to apportion and infer source locations of PM10 and PM2.5 in three heavily-impacted urban areas of Greece, during the warm period of 2011, and the cold period of ... -
Summer distribution of fish larvae in northern Aegean Sea
(2009)Larval fish and hydrographic data were collected in Kavala Gulf (northern Aegean Sea) across a fine scale grid of 17 stations in two surveys, carried out in the beginning of July 2002 and 2003. Despite the different taxonomic ... -
Variability of airborne bacteria in an urban Mediterranean area (Thessaloniki, Greece)
(2017)The abundance, biomass and the taxonomic composition of the total airborne bacterial communities in a coastal urban area of Northeastern Mediterranean Sea were examined. In total, 27 air samples were collected across three ... -
Yearly numerical evaluation of greenhouse cover materials
(2018)The greenhouse internal microclimate, and consequently the plants growth, is formed from the combination of available solar radiation and ventilation. Transpiration and photosynthesis are affected by the PAR levels, as ...
