Adaptation of the Students' Motivation Towards Science Learning (SMTSL) questionnaire in the Greek language
(2013)The present study aimed at adapting in the Greek language the Students' Motivation Towards Science Learning (SMTSL) questionnaire developed by Tuan, Chin, and Shieh (INT J SCI EDUC 27(6): 639-654, 2005a) into a different ... -
Administration of exercise-conditioned plasma alters muscle catalase kinetics in rat: An argument for in vivo-like Km instead of in vitro-like Vmax
(2018)Maximal velocity (Vmax) is a well established biomarker for the assessment of tissue redox status. There is scarce evidence, though, that it does not probably reflect sufficiently in vivo tissue redox profile. Instead, the ... -
Age, human performance, and physical employment standards
(2016)The proportion of older workers has increased substantially in recent years, with over 25% of the Canadian labour force aged ≥55 years. Along with chronological age comes age-related declines in functional capacity associated ... -
Age, sex, adult and larval diet shape starvation resistance in the Mediterranean fruit fly: an ecological and gerontological perspective
(2019)The ability of an animal to withstand periods of food deprivation is a key driver of invasion success (biodiversity), adaptation to new conditions, and a crucial determinant of senescence in populations. Starvation resistance ... -
Aquaticity: A discussion of the term and of how it applies to humans
(2016)The relationship between humans and water and the effects on aspects related to human performance has never been studied scientifically. The aim of the current systematic review is to attempt to define the term "aquaticity", ... -
Assessing performance in pre-season wrestling athletes using biomarkers
(2018)Introduction: Although regular training introduces the desired changes in athletes’ metabolism towards optimal final performance, literature is rarely focusing on the metabolic responses off-competition. Therefore, the aim ... -
Author’s Reply to Brocherie and Millet: ‘Is the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WGBT) Index Relevant for Exercise in the Heat?’
(2015)[No abstract available] -
Biogeography of body size in terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea)
(2016)This study tries to unveil the contribution of climatic shift in shaping the extreme body size diversity in terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea). Trying to explain size variation at an interspecific level, we test five hypotheses: ... -
Chronic administration of plasma from exercised rats to sedentary rats does not induce redox and metabolic adaptations
(2020)The present study aimed to investigate whether endurance exercise-induced changes in blood plasma composition may lead to adaptations in erythrocytes, skeletal muscle and liver. Forty sedentary rats were randomly distributed ... -
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 ... -
Comparative analysis of the core proteomes among the Pseudomonas major evolutionary groups reveals species-specific adaptations for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas chlororaphis
(2020)The Pseudomonas genus includes many species living in diverse environments and hosts. It is important to understand which are the major evolutionary groups and what are the genomic/proteomic components they have in common ... -
Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of the greek sensory profile (Sp-Gr) caregiver questionnaire
(2020)OBJECTIVE Cross-cultural adaptation and assessment of the psychometric properties of the Sensory Profile (SP) caregiver questionnaire in the Greek language (SP-Gr). METHOD The SP caregiver questionnaire was translated, ... -
Cross-cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the Greek Version of the Central Sensitization Inventory
(2020)Objectives: Recent studies support the opinion that central sensitization (CS) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of many chronic pain conditions. CS refers to hyperexcitability of the central nervous system, ... -
Current and projected regional economic impacts of heatwaves in Europe
(2021)Extreme heat undermines the working capacity of individuals, resulting in lower productivity, and thus economic output. Here we analyse the present and future economic damages due to reduced labour productivity caused by ... -
The Effect of a Surface Combat Swimming Training Program on Swimming Performance
(2021)In this study the effect of a surface combat swimming (sCS) training program on performance in freestyle swimming and sCS was examined. Forty-five officer cadets were divided into three equivalent groups: a control group ... -
Experiences of workers with disabilities receiving supported employment services in Greece
(2021)People with disabilities (PwDs) are under-represented in the workforce, especially during times of economic recession. Supported employment is recognized as an effective practice for promoting work inclusion of PwDs, ... -
Genetic changes during laboratory domestication of an olive fly SIT strain
(2014)Early attempts to apply the SIT on the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, were unsuccessful, mainly due to the low competitiveness of the sterile mass-reared males compared with the wild ones. Recently, new efforts are underway ... -
Host selection by winged colonisers within the Myzus persicae group: A contribution towards understanding host specialisation
(2005)1. Myzus persicae sensu lato demonstrates considerable genetic variation in respect to adaptation to host plants. The subspecies M. persicae nicotianae shows a preference for tobacco, while M. persicae sensu stricto (s. ... -
Hybrid neuromuscular training promotes musculoskeletal adaptations in inactive overweight and obese women: A training-detraining randomized controlled trial
(2021)This study investigated the effects of a 10-month high-intensity interval-type neuromuscular training programme on musculoskeletal fitness in overweight and obese women. Forty-nine inactive females (36.4 ± 4.4 yrs) were ... -
The Impact of Transmit Rate Control on Energy-Efficient Estimation in Wireless Sensor Networks
(2012)We study the impact of physical layer (PHY) transmit rate control on energy efficient estimation in wireless sensor networks. A sensor network collects measurements about an unknown evolving process. Each sensor controls ...
