Cost evaluation of noise barriers implementation in the Greek highway network
(2016)Transportation side effects like, noise, accidents and air pollution and others are a cost that arises from an economic transaction and that falls on people who do not participate in the transaction. Among those side ... -
Dynamic Multiple Vehicle Routing under Energy Capacity Constraints
(2020)The multiple vehicle routing problem (mVRP) concerns the scheduling of multiple vehicles so as to visit some locations of interest. We study a dynamic version of mVRP where the travel costs are not a priori known and may ... -
Early retirement for mothers in Greece
(2009)Purpose: Greek social security system has a provision, under which women who have children are entitled to exit the labour force and claim pension benefits after completing 20 years of work and at a fully productive age. ... -
Energy efficient resource allocation scheme via auction-based offloading in next-generation heterogeneous networks
(2017)The focus of this chapter is centered on the network underutilization during low traffic periods (e.g., night zone), which enables the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to save energy by having their traffic served by ... -
A fast Bayesian inference scheme for identification of local structural properties of layered composites based on wave and finite element-assisted metamodeling strategy and ultrasound measurements
(2020)Reliable verification and evaluation of the mechanical properties of a layered composite ensemble are critical for industrially relevant applications, however it still remains an open engineering challenge. In this study, ... -
Forecasting the residential water demand, balancing full water cost pricing and non-revenue water reduction policies
(2014)The paper examines the factors that determine the residential water demand level in the city of Kozani located in the NW part of Greece. Based on an 8-year (2005-12) detailed sample of residential water demand time panel ... -
Guidance Provision for Increasing Quality of Service of Public Transport
(2017)Travellers formulate their optimal strategyto follow for their trip, every time they may shift to another mode. Trip generalized cost is perceived based on quality of service aspects and type of traveller. One of the most ... -
Investigation of the impact of seismic zone to the cost of construction of a 5-storey R/C building
(2021)Residing in a country like Greece, where the earthquake is a common phenomenon in most of its areas, the need for constructing earthquake resistant buildings that will provide security and functionality to their residents ... -
Load balancing in wireless sensor networks using kirchhoff's voltage law
(2009)We study load balancing in wireless networks with a single class of traffic, focusing our attention on an important example, i.e., Wireless Sensor Networks. The analysis is based on the Wireless Minimum Cost Problem, an ... -
A Low Cost IoT TestBed System for Alzheimer's Early Stages Diagnosis in Health 4.0 Application
(2022)This paper presents a low cost and novel mechanical system to estimate patients' Alzheimer's disease (AD) early stage. In essence our device measures the time variance between the patient's decisions to take his/her medicine. ... -
A methodological framework for an easy and reliable estimation of the full cost of irrigation water
(2020)The requirements of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60 for the full water cost recovery have brought reactions and difficulties to their implementation, especially for irrigation water. We propose a systematic and ... -
Performance Evaluation Analysis of an Unslotted Transmission Mechanism in Optical Intra-Data Center Networks
(2022)The big data industry and the telecom operators gradually shift to the optical interconnection solution for their data center networks (DCN s), upgrading part of the previous electrical switching functions. During this ... -
Prediction and Optimization of the Cost of Energy Resources in Greek Public Hospitals
(2022)The continuous operation and the specialized conditions needed for safely delivering healthcare services make hospitals among the most expensive buildings. Several studies in different countries have investigated the ... -
Risk analysis framework for the optimum remediation of a contaminated aquifer under uncertainty: application in Lake Karla aquifer, Thessaly, Greece
(2022)A risk analysis framework is proposed for the optimum remediation of a contaminated aquifer under hydrogeological uncertainty. The limited information and the spatial variation of hydraulic conductivity in a real-world ... -
Robust optimal sensor configuration using the value of information
(2022)Sensing is the cornerstone of any functional structural health monitoring technology, with sensor number and placement being a key aspect for reliable monitoring. We introduce for the first time a robust methodology for ... -
