BAFF receptor polymorphisms and deficiency in humans
(2021)The BAFF-receptor (BAFFR) is a member of the TNF-receptor family. It is expressed only by B cells and binds BAFF as single ligand, which activates key signaling pathways regulating essential cellular functions, including ... -
Bank efficiency and financial centres: Does geographical location matter?
(2017)This paper examines the relationship between bank performance and geographical location with respect to the two major global financial centres, New York and London. It provides new insights on the spatial effects of the ... -
Bank production with nonperforming loans: A minimum distance directional slack inefficiency approach
(2022)The study examines a bank production process with nonperforming loans in Japanese banking. Banks’ production process is measured by utilizing a minimum distance directional slack inefficiency model and by treating nonperforming ... -
A Bayesian framework for calibration of multiaxial fatigue curves
(2022)A Bayesian framework is proposed to re-formulate a multiaxial fatigue model and produce probabilistic stress-life fatigue curves from experimental data. The proposed framework identifies the experimentally-driven parameters ... -
Bayesian optimal experimental design for parameter estimation and response predictions in complex dynamical systems
(2017)A Bayesian optimal experimental design (OED) framework is revisited and applied to a number of structural dynamics problems. The objective is to optimize the design of the experiment such that the most informative data are ... -
The Behaviour of a Turbulent Buoyant Jet into Flowing Environment
(2016)In this study the mean axial velocity at the centreline of a buoyant jet which is discharged vertically upwards from a source, into flowing environment inside a denser ambient fluid (water), in an open channel, is investigated. ... -
Benders decomposition with integer subproblem
(2017)The application of Benders decomposition method to a problem might result in a subproblem including integer variables. In this case, it is not able to apply the classical Benders algorithm. In this study we present a ... -
Bending and buckling of internally-pressurized steel lined pipes
(2019)During offshore installation, steel lined pipes are subjected to severe plastic bending, resulting in detachment of the thin-walled liner pipe from the outer pipe and eventually, the formation of local buckling in the form ... -
Bending response of lap welded steel pipeline joints
(2020)The paper presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of the bending response of lap welded joints in pressurized steel water pipelines. It is motivated by the structural performance of large-diameter steel ... -
A bibliometric assessment of progress in marine spatial planning
(2021)Marine/maritime spatial planning (MSP) is a process to optimise marine space allocation to various activities and the environment by avoiding negative interactions, improving synergies, thereby helping the advance towards ... -
Bifunctional catalysts for overall water splitting: CoNi oxyhydroxide nanosheets electrodeposited on titanium sheets
(2019)In this work, CoNi oxyhydroxide nanosheets [CoNi-OOH-30(40)] are synthesized, through two simple steps, as efficient bifunctional catalysts in alkaline media. First, a shape-controlled CoNi-X alloy (X denotes electrodeposition ... -
Bimetallic Ni‒Co phosphide nanosheets self-supported on nickel foam as high-performance electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction
(2019)In this work, bimetallic nickel-cobalt phosphide (Ni-Co-P/NF) self-supported on nickel foam (NF) is synthesized for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). A two-step method of electrodeposition with subsequently low-temperature ... -
Bioactive compounds content and antimicrobial activities of wild edible Asteraceae species of the Mediterranean flora under commercial cultivation conditions
(2019)Nine wild edible species belonging to Astreaceae family, native to the Mediterranean basin were tested for their chemical composition (phenolic compounds, tocopherols, and organic acids) and antimicrobial activities over ... -
The bioactive profile of lettuce produced in a closed soilless system as configured by combinatorial effects of genotype and macrocation supply composition
(2020)The effect of cultivar and nutrient solution macrocation proportions (SK, SCa, SMg) on the bioactive content of hydroponically cultivated lettuce was evaluated on two lettuce cultivars (red and green-pigmented Salanova®) ... -
Bioactive properties of Sanguisorba minor L. cultivated in central Greece under different fertilization regimes
(2020)In this study, the chemical characterization and bioactive properties of S. minor cultivated under different fertilization rates (control, half rate and full rate) were evaluated. Twenty-two phenolic compounds were identified, ... -
Bioactivities, chemical composition and nutritional value of Cynara cardunculus L. seeds
(2019)In the present study, the nutritional value, bioactive properties, and chemical composition of various cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L.) genotypes cultivated in central Greece were investigated. The results demonstrated that ... -
Bioaugmentation of thiabendazole-contaminated soils from a wastewater disposal site: Factors driving the efficacy of this strategy and the diversity of the indigenous soil bacterial community
(2018)The application of the fungicide thiabendazole (TBZ) in fruit packaging plants (FPP) results in the production of effluents which are often disposed in adjacent field sites. These require remediation to prevent further ... -
