Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Endovascular Repair: Profiling Postimplantation Morphometry and Hemodynamics with Image-Based Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2018)Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has disseminated rapidly as an alternative to open surgical repair for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), because of its reduced invasiveness, low mortality, and morbidity ... -
Analyzing bank “black boxes”: A two-stage Nerlovian profit inefficiency model
(2021)The paper introduces a two-stage network Nerlovian profit inefficiency estimator, modelling bank’ “black box” production processes. The unique features of the model include the modelling of a risk factor measured by period ... -
Assessing risk in dam projects using AHP and ELECTRE I
(2014)The sources of risk are likely to exist in construction projects, especially during their operation. Dams are projects that face risks. Risk management may help to assess them. Little has been discussed about the risk ... -
Assessment of heavy metal(loid)s contamination risk and grain nutritional quality in organic waste-amended soil
(2020)Studies that evaluate the human health risk of heavy metal(loid)s pollution have not been widely performed for organic waste-amended soils on the Loess Plateau of China. With this respect, we conducted a 3-year field trial ... -
Assessment of the impact of three pesticides on microbial dynamics and functions in a lab-to-field experimental approach
(2018)The toxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms is as an emerging area of concern. Novel and well-standardized tools could be now used to provide a robust assessment of the ecotoxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms. ... -
Assessment of trace element pollution in northern and western Iranian agricultural soils: a review
(2021)The pollution of Iranian agricultural soils with trace elements (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) was assessed and compared with other agricultural soils around the world. Experimental data on trace element content ... -
Bather density as a predominant factor for health effects related to recreational bathing: Results from the Greek bathers cohort study
(2011)Our aim was to examine the health effects on bathers from exposure to recreational seawater on three beaches with different microbiology quality and bather density through a cohort study. An initial questionnaire and a 10 ... -
Bayesian Hierarchical Models for Uncertainty Quantification in Structural Dynamics
(2014)The Bayesian framework for hierarchical modeling is applied to quantify uncertainties, arising mainly due to manufacturing variability, for a group of identical structural components. Parameterized Gaussian models of ... -
Blame it on the metabolite: 3,5-dichloroaniline rather than the parent compound is responsible for the decreasing diversity and function of soil microorganisms
(2018)Pesticides are key stressors of soil microorganisms with reciprocal effects on ecosystem functioning. These effects have been mainly attributed to the parent compounds, while the impact of their transformation products ... -
Change detection and convolution neural networks for fall recognition
(2020)Accurate fall detection is a crucial research challenge since the time delay from fall to first aid is a key factor that determines the consequences of a fall. Wearable sensors allow a reliable way for motion tracking, ... -
Climate Change Adaptation Studies as a tool to ensure airport's sustainability: The case of Athens International Airport (A.I.A.)
(2021)A.I.A (Athens International Airport) is the first major transportation infrastructure in Greece. Environmental protection is a priority and AIA is committed to protect the environment and preventing or lessening negative ... -
Climate change threatens the microbiological stability of non-refrigerated foods
(2022)Most studies on the impact of climate change on foods focus on the consequences to security and safety. In the present study we provide scientific evidence on an overlooked aspect of climate change related to the microbiological ... -
The CNOSSOS-EU initiative: A framework for road, railway, aircraft and industrial noise modelling for strategic noise mapping in EU Member States
(2011)The European Directive 2002/49/EC relating to assessment and management of environmental noise establishes that common assessment methods for the determination of environmental noise indicators will be defined for use in ... -
Comparison of safety indexes for chemical processes under uncertainty
(2021)The fatal consequences of industrial incidents have made evident the need for suitable tools to develop inherently safer process design options. Traditionally, in a process design project, the evaluation of safety aspects ... -
Credit card fraud detection using a deep learning multistage model
(2022)The banking sector is on the eve of a serious transformation and the thrust behind it is artificial intelligence (AI). Novel AI applications have been already proposed to deal with challenges in the areas of credit scoring, ... -
A critical prospective analysis of the potential toxicity of trace element regulation limits in soils worldwide: Are they protective concerning health risk assessment? - A review
(2019)Trace elements (TEs) may have toxic effects to plants and humans; thus, countries and organizations impose maximum allowable regulation limits of their concentrations in soils. Usually such limits are placed in different ... -
Deep learning and change detection for fall recognition
(2019)Early fall detection is a crucial research challenge since the time delay from fall to first aid is a key factor that determines the consequences of a fall. Wearable sensors allow a reliable way for daily-life activities ... -
Dissipation and adsorption of isoproturon, tebuconazole, chlorpyrifos and their main transformation products under laboratory and field conditions
(2016)Assessment of dissipation constitutes an integral part of pesticides risk assessment since it provides an estimate of the level and the duration of exposure of the terrestrial ecosystem to pesticides. Within the frame of ... -
An early warning indicator for monitoring infectious animal diseases and its application in the case of a sheep pox epidemic
(2017)We describe an early warning indicator for monitoring infectious diseases. The approach is illustrated with data from a major sheep pox epidemic, which occurred in the Evros prefecture of Greece, from August 2013 until the ... -
Estimating remobilization of potentially toxic elements in soil and road dust of an industrialized urban environment
(2022)The mobility of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is of paramount concern in urban settings, particularly those affected by industrial activities. Here, contaminated soils and road dusts of the medium-size, industrialized ...
