An analytical framework to assess SDG targets within the context of WEFE nexus in the Mediterranean region
(2021)Understanding the complex relationships amongst Water, Energy, Food and Ecosystems (WEFE nexus) together with the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is critical for the development of a sustainable and ... -
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", ... -
Bioactive properties of greenhouse-cultivated green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under biostimulants and water-stress effect
(2019)BACKGROUND: The scarcity of irrigation water is severely affecting global crop production. In this context, biostimulants are increasingly used as alternatives means against abiotic stress conditions. In this study, phenolic ... -
Brattleboro rats have impaired apical membrane water permeability regulation in the outer medullary collecting duct principal cells
(2016)Vasopressin (AVP) regulates the body salt-water balance. Brattleboro rats carry an AVP gene mutation resulting in a recessive form of central diabetes insipidus, being ideal for AVP deficiency studies. Herein, we studied ... -
Cu-Zn powders as potential Cr(VI) adsorbents for drinking water
(2013)This work examines the possibility of applying CuZn alloys as a reducing medium for the efficient removal of hexavalent chromium from drinking water. In an effort to develop a route for producing powders of CuZn alloys ... -
Determination of the number of water molecules in the proton pathway of bacteriorhodopsin using neutron diffraction data
(2003)It has been shown that water molecules participate in the proton pathway of bacteriorhodopsin. Large efforts have been made to determine with various biophysical methods the number of water molecules involved. Neutron ... -
Developing and testing an instrument to assess aquaticity in humans
(2016)We developed and validated an aquaticity assessment test (AAT) for the evaluation of human physical adequacy in the water. Forty-six volunteers (25M/21F; 20 ± 8 years) participated and performed 10 easy-to-administer and ... -
Do trabecular metal and cancellous titanium implants reduce the risk of late haematogenous infection? An experimental study in rabbits
(2021)Aim: This study evaluated the late resistance to haematogenous contamination by microbial pathogens of implants and bone-implant interface and the development of late clinical infection when cementless components with ... -
The effects of biostimulants, biofertilizers and water-stress on nutritional value and chemical composition of two spinach genotypes (Spinacia oleracea L.)
(2019)In the present study, the effect of biostimulants application on the nutritional quality and bioactive properties of spinach cultivated in protected environment under water stress conditions was evaluated. For this purpose, ... -
Environmental DNA detection of giant snakehead in Thailand’s major rivers for wild stock assessment
(2022)Capture-based aquaculture is now gaining much attention in Southeast Asia. This system was used to produce several fish species with social and economic implications, including the giant snakehead (Channa micropeltes). As ... -
Essential oil-in-water microemulsions for topical application: structural study, cytotoxic effect and insect repelling activity
(2022)Essential oils (EOs) extracted from aromatic plants have been well recognized for their insect repellent properties. Although EOs are effective when freshly applied, their protective effect usually dissipates quickly due ... -
The EU endocrine disruptors’ regulation and the glyphosate controversy
(2021)Endocrine disruptors are compounds that alter the functioning of the endocrine system of humans and wildlife. A large number of chemicals have been identified as EDs and humans can be exposed to them through dietary and/or ... -
EU Legislation on Food and Potable Water Safety which could be Potentially Applied on Board Ferries and Cruise Ships: A Comparison with US Legislation
(2010)The high number of people moving around by ferries and cruise ships in conjunction with great amounts of food and potable water transported (occasionally overloaded) and consumed by passengers constitute a possible risk ... -
EVALUATION OF WATER QUALITY OF A MOUNTAINOUS STREAM (PELION, CENTRAL GREECE) USING BENTHIC MACROINVERTEBRATES
(2014)Biotic indices are commonly used in biomonitoring programs to assess the quality of surface waters. In the present study, a number of biotic indices based on benthic macroinvertebrates have been applied in assessing the ... -
Frequency dependent non-thermal effects of oscillating electric fields in the microwave region on the properties of a solvated lysozyme system: A molecular dynamics study
(2017)The use of microwaves in every day's applications raises issues regarding the non thermal biological effects of microwaves. In this work we employ molecular dynamics simulations to advance further the dielectric studies ... -
Gravity currents with large salinity in a gravel bed valley: an experimental study
(2022)In the current study experiments in a valley (a composite cross-sectional tank consisting of a rectangular upper cross section and a lower trapezoidal) were performed. The purpose of this research is to study the gravel ... -
Herbal plants- and rice straw-derived biochars reduced metal mobilization in fishpond sediments and improved their potential as fertilizers
(2022)Fishpond sediments are rich in organic carbon and nutrients; thus, they can be used as potential fertilizers and soil conditioners. However, sediments can be contaminated with toxic elements (TEs), which have to be immobilized ... -
Hydrotherapy: Historical landmarks of a cure all remedy
(2015)In Hippocratic Corpus we may find fragments mentioning hydrotherapy as a remedy for several diseases. During the 18th century the English physicians John Floyer and James Currie proved the efficacy of hydrotherapy inaugurating ... -
Implementation of the Water Framework Directive: Lessons Learned and Future Perspectives for an Ecologically Meaningful Classification Based on Phytoplankton of the Status of Greek Lakes, Mediterranean Region
