Analyzing High-Risk Emergency Areas with GIS and Neural Networks: The Case of Athens, Greece
(2014)Any analysis of health service problems facing the world today must consider that these problems exist in a geographic context. This fact has led to an increased need for accurate and current information to support emergency ... -
Basin-wide actual evapotranspiration estimation using NOAA/AVHRR satellite data
(2005)The present study elaborates on the estimation of actual evapotranspiration at watershed scale using mathematical models and remote sensing techniques. A water balance model was updated and used to simulate runoff from a ... -
Bayesian estimation of variance partition coefficients adjusted for imperfect test sensitivity and specificity
(2009)The variance partition coefficient (VPC) measures the clustering of infection/disease among individuals with a specific covariate pattern. Covariate-pattern-specific VPCs provide insight to the groups of individuals that ... -
Bridge health monitoring system based on vibration measurements
(2009)A bridge health monitoring system is presented based on vibration measurements collected from a network of acceleration sensors. Sophisticated structural identification methods, combining information from the sensor network ... -
Conservation aspects of natural populations and captive-bred stocks of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) and Dover sole (Solea solea) using estimates of genetic diversity
(2007)Population genetic analyses have been highly successful in predicting inter- and intraspecific evolutionary relationships, levels of gene flow, genetic divergence, and effective population sizes. Parameters estimated are ... -
Disentangling different patterns of business cycle synchronicity in the EU regions
(2015)The present paper provides a comprehensive and consolidated analysis of the business cycle synchronicity between European regions and EU-14. Our study is conducted in three levels. First, we analyse regional business cycle ... -
Dynamic European stock market convergence: Evidence from rolling cointegration analysis in the first euro-decade
(2010)The introduction of the euro epitomizes European economic integration. This paper assesses the dynamic process of convergence among four major European stock markets in the first euro-decade. Using tests that allow for ... -
Economic growth and environmental efficiency: Evidence from US regions
(2013)This paper proposes a conditional directional distance function estimator in order to examine the link between regional environmental efficiency and GDP per capita levels. As an illustrative example we apply our model to ... -
Effect of toltrazuril treatment in nursing piglets naturally infected with Isospora suis
(2010)Isospora suis is an important parasitic infection in intensive pig production worldwide responsible for significant economic losses In this study the efficacy of toltrazuril treatment against isosporosis was evaluated under ... -
ENERGY LOCALIZATION FOR DILATONIC BLACK HOLE GEOMETRIES WITH A PURE MONOPOLE FIELD
(2010)The energy distribution of black holes with a dilaton and a pure monopole field is calculated by using Moller's energy-momentum complex. The four-dimensional space-times considered are static, spherically symmetric and ... -
Energy-Momentum Localization for a Space-Time Geometry Exterior to a Black Hole in the Brane World
(2013)In general relativity one of the most fundamental issues consists in defining a generally acceptable definition for the energy-momentum density. As a consequence, many coordinate-dependent definitions have been presented, ... -
Enhancing the efficacy of the 20 m multistage shuttle run test
(2005)Objective: Maximal oxygen uptake ( Vo(2max)) of 44 ml kg(-1) min(-1) is an accepted criterion (Vo(2CR)) below which health and fitness for young male adults may be compromised. New algorithms validated for Vo2CR screening ... -
Experimental Cardiac Hypertrophy Induced by Oral Administration of Mineralocorticoid and Saline in Rats
(2012)We suggest a new, easily applicable way of myocardial hypertrophy induction in rats. Forty randomized age-matched male Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups of 20 each: a control group and an orally administered ... -
Fault detection and optimal sensor location in vehicle suspensions
(2003)A statistical system identification methodology is applied for performing parametric identification and fault detection studies in nonlinear vehicle systems. The vehicle nonlinearities arise due to the function of the ... -
Forecasting of Remotely Sensed Daily Evapotranspiration Data Over Nile Delta Region, Egypt
(2013)Daily evapotranspiration is a major component in crops water consumption management plans. Consequently, forecasting of daily evapotranspiration is the keystone of any effective water resources management plans in fragile ... -
gpDB: a database of GPCRs, G-proteins, effectors and their interactions
(2008)gpDB is a publicly accessible, relational database, containing information about G-proteins, G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and effectors, as well as information concerning known interactions between these molecules. ... -
Granular neural networks for land use classification
(2005)Granulation of information is a new way to describe the increased complexity of natural phenomena. The lack of clear borders in nature calls for a more efficient way to process such data. Land use both in general but also ... -
GRISSOM Platform: Enabling Distributed Processing and Management of Biological Data Through Fusion of Grid and Web Technologies
(2011)Transcriptomic technologies have a critical impact in the revolutionary changes that reshape biological research. Through the recruitment of novel high-throughput instrumentation and advanced computational methodologies, ... -
Impact of building design and occupancy on office comfort and energy performance in different climates
(2014)The building sector has a significant share in a county's total greenhouse gas emissions, and as a reaction to the Kyoto commitment most countries are constantly adjusting building energy requirements in order to reduce ... -
An implicit evolution scheme for active contours and surfaces based on IIR filtering
(2014)In this work, we present an approach for implementing an implicit scheme for the numerical solution of the partial differential equation of the evolution of an active contour/surface. The proposed scheme is applicable to ...
