La grèce et les balkans: une géographie perdue et retrouvée
(1999)The post-1989 conditions in centre and east-european countries give rise to a number of interesting questions about the impact of a changing geography on economic performances and outcomes on both sides of the East-West ... -
La ségrégation sociale à Athènes
(1997)The synthetic imaging of the socio-professional structure of Athens' Urban Area provides a detailed geographic morphology of the urban segregation. This morphology may become an essential element of interpretation of ... -
The labdane diterpene sclareol (labd-14-ene-8, 13-diol) induces apoptosis in human tumor cell lines and suppression of tumor growth in vivo via a p53-independent mechanism of action
(2011)The labdane diterpene sclareol has demonstrated significant cytotoxicity against human tumor cell lines and human colon cancer xenografts. Therefore, there is need to elucidate the mode of action of this compound as very ... -
Laboratory and field dissipation of penoxsulam, tricyclazole and profoxydim in rice paddy systems
(2013)Rice cultivation relies on pesticide applications to ensure high yields. However, the regular use of pesticides seriously affects the quality of neighboring surface water systems. Thus complete knowledge of the environmental ... -
Laboratory and surveillance studies following a suspected Dengue case in Greece, 2012
(2015)Objectives: To describe the laboratory assays used to investigate a suspected dengue case in summer 2012 in western Greece and to report the public health response. Design of methods: Samples from the patient were tested ... -
Laboratory development of Dermacentor marginatus ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) at two temperatures
(2015)The influence of two temperatures on the development of Dermacentor marginatus evolutive cycle was studied. Tests performed under controlled laboratory conditions at 21 A degrees C, 80 % RH and 27 A degrees C, RH 80 %, on ... -
Laboratory diagnosis of contagious ecthyma: Comparison of different PCR protocols with virus isolation in cell culture
(2006)A new polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for rapid diagnosis of contagious ecthyma was designed and applied to 21 clinical samples from Greece. This assay, which detects a highly conserved gene from the parapox genome, ... -
Laboratory evaluation of diatomaceous earth deposits mined from several locations in central and southeastern Europe as potential protectants against coleopteran grain pests
(2011)Diatomaceous earth (DE) deposits from regions of central and southeastern Europe were evaluated for their insecticidal efficacy against Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: ... -
Laboratory experiments and estimation of cumulative infiltration and sorptivity
(2004)Soil water cumulative infiltration affects the environment by controlling the irrigation rate and consequently the water and pollutants movement through the ground. In order to study the cumulative infiltration in a sandy ... -
Labour market conditions and crime in Greece
(2012)Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of unemployment on various types of crime in Greece. Design/methodology/approach: A battery of econometric tests, including Granger causality tests, a variance ... -
LAC: Load-aware channel selection in 802.11 WLANs
(2008)Dense deployments of hybrid WLANs result in high levels of interference and low end-user throughput. Many frequency allocation mechanisms for WLANs have been proposed by a large body of previous studies. However, none of ... -
Lack of association between appendectomy and primary biliary cirrhosis
(2006)Objective. In view of the possible implication of various environmental factors in the pathogenesis of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), the role of appendectomy in patients with PBC and other chronic liver diseases from ... -
Lack of Association Between Common Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Haplotypes and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Hypertension
(2010)The endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension-related left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Candidate-gene studies have examined the role of NOS3 variation, but ... -
Lack of association between the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) gene polymorphism and the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia in Caucasian men
(2013)Glucuronidation, mediated by the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) enzyme, is an important metabolic process during which steroids are converted to more easily excreted compounds in steroid target tissues, such as ... -
Lack of association of acute phase response proteins with hormone levels and antidepressant medication in perimenopausal depression
(2014)Background: Major depression is associated with higher plasma levels of positive acute-phase proteins, as well as with lower plasma levels of negative acute-phase proteins. The aim of this study is to examine the levels ... -
Lack of association of single nucleotide polymorphism in LRCH1 with knee osteoarthritis susceptibility
(2008)A genetic association of knee osteoarthritis (OA) and a C/T transition single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs912428) located in intron 1 of the LRCH1 gene has recently been reported in European Caucasians; however, the ... -
Lack of evidence for a genetic association between FGF20 and Parkinson's disease in Finnish and Greek patients
(2005)Background: Fibroblast growth factor 20 (FGF20) is a neurotrophic factor preferentially expressed in the substantia nigra of rat brain and could be involved in dopaminergic neurons survival. Recently, a strong genetic ...
