Bioaugmentation of animal feces as a mean to mitigate environmental contamination with anthelmintic benzimidazoles
(2021)Anthelmintics are used to control infestations of ruminants by gastrointestinal nematodes. The limited metabolism of anthelmintics in animals result in their excretion in feces. These could be piled up in the floor of ... -
The combined and single effect of salinity and copper stress on growth and quality of Mentha spicata plants
(2019)Copper is essential for plant growth, but in excess may cause adverse effects on plant physiology. Harmful effects are also caused by plant exposure to salinity (NaCl) due to the excessive use of fertilizers, soil degradation ... -
Degradation and adsorption of terbuthylazine and chlorpyrifos in biobed biomixtures from composted cotton crop residues
(2010)BACKGROUND: Biobeds have been well studied in northern Europe, whereas little is known regarding their use in southern Europe. The degradation and adsorption of terbuthylazine (TA) and chlorpyrifos (CP) were studied in ... -
Eco-efficiency estimation with quantile stochastic frontiers: Evidence from the United States
(2022)This paper based on quantile stochastic frontier framework constructs quantile eco-efficiency measures. Using the estimates from the quantile stochastic frontier, the eco-performance of the U.S. states for nitrogen oxides ... -
Effect of system parameters and of inorganic salts on the decolorization and degradation of Procion H-exl dyes. Comparison of H2O2/UV, Fenton, UV/Fenton, TiO2/UV and TiO2/UV/H2O2 processes
(2007)Reactive dyes are extensively used in the last years due to their superior performance, but they are environmentally hazardous. In the present work, the decolorization and degradation of commercial reactive azo dyes (Procion ... -
Expanding the use of biobeds: Degradation and adsorption of pesticides contained in effluents from seed-coating, bulb disinfestation and fruit-packaging activities
(2019)Agro-food industries that use pesticides constitute significant point sources for the contamination of natural water resources. Despite that, little is known about the treatment of their pesticide-contaminated effluents. ... -
Groundwater quality and location of productive activities in the region of Thessaly (Greece)
(2007)In the present study the involvement of human activities is assessed in the revalorization of groundwater quality. The groundwater quality was assessed on the basis of physical and chemical analysis (electric conductivity, ... -
Influence of soil physicochemical and biological properties on the degradation and adsorption of the nematicide fosthiazate
(2006)The degradation and adsorption of the organophosphorus nematicide fosthiazate were investigated in nine soils with various physicochemical and biological characteristics. Fosthiazate was more persistent in acidic soils (pH ... -
On the magnetic aggregation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles
(2021)Background and objective In-vivo MRI-guided drug delivery concept is a personalized technique towards cancer treatment. A major bottleneck of this method, is the weak magnetic response of nanoparticles. A crucial improvement ... -
Performance analysis of a grid-connected photovoltaic park after 6 years of operation
(2019)The growth of renewable energy and especially photovoltaic energy in Greece is remarkable. There exist many grid-connected systems in Greek territory which have completed ten years operation. A challenging task for these ... -
Potential of the dual mTOR kinase inhibitor AZD2014 to overcome paclitaxel resistance in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma
(2018)Purpose: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is an aggressive, chemo-resistant malignancy. Chemo-resistance is often associated with changes in activity of the RAS/MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways and/or a high expression ... -
Preparation and characterization of novel Niln2S4/UiO-66 photocatalysts for the efficient degradation of antibiotics in water
(2022)Photocatalysis is considered an economical, environmentally friendly, and effective technology for removing pollutants. The construction of Z-Scheme heterojunctions has been identified as one of the feasible solutions ... -
Using biobeds for the treatment of fungicide-contaminated effluents from various agro-food processing industries: Microbiome responses and mobile genetic element dynamics
(2022)Agro-food processing industries generate large amounts of pesticide-contaminated effluents that pose a significant environmental threat if managed improperly. Biopurification systems like biobeds could be utilized for the ...
