Biological and environmental influences in visuospatial abilities
(2001)Sex differences in cognition have been the focus of intense debate for years. In this study, we examined the hypothesis that the pattern of sex differences in a visuospatial task may be differential due to environmental ... -
Database design of a geo-environmental information system
(2014)Environmental protection from productive investments becomes a major task for enterprises and constitutes a critical competitiveness factor. The region of Central Greece presents many serious and particular environmental ... -
A DEA approach for estimating the agricultural energy and environmental efficiency of EU countries
(2014)This study attempts to evaluate the energy and environmental efficiency of the primary sectors of the EU member state countries. The evaluation is based on a non-radial Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model which allows ... -
The effect of government expenditure on the environment: An empirical investigation
(2013)This paper examines the impact of government spending on the environment using a panel of 77 countries for the time period 1980-2000. We estimate both the direct and indirect effects of government spending on pollution. ... -
Effects of treated municipal wastewater on the essential nutrients interactions in the plant of Brassica oleracea var. Italica
(2009)The effects of the treated municipal wastewater (TMWW) on the essential nutrients interactions in the various plant parts of Brassica oleracea var. Italica (Broccoli) was studied, in comparison to the fresh irrigation ... -
Environmental impacts of genetically modified plants: A review
(2017)Powerful scientific techniques have caused dramatic expansion of genetically modified crops leading to altered agricultural practices posing direct and indirect environmental implications. Despite the enhanced yield ... -
Environmental parameters as risk factors for human and canine Leishmania infection in Thessaly, Central Greece
(2016)Thessaly, Central Greece, is an endemic area for leishmaniasis with higher incidence rate during the last years. We herein investigated the geographical distribution of human leishmaniasis cases and Leishmania infected ... -
Environmental policy and spatial planning in Greece. Institutional aspects
(2004)The integration of the environmental dimension into sectoral and regional policies constitutes a dominant concern of the current EU strategy for sustainable development. Thus, physical planning as an instrument of environmental ... -
Factors affecting the distribution of potentially toxic elements in surface soils around an industrialized area of northwestern Greece
(2012)In order to investigate the factors influencing the distribution of 32 potentially toxic elements in the Ptolemais-Kozani basin, northwestern Greece, 38 soil samples were collected and analyzed. Concentrations of Al, Ca, ... -
First evidence of Leishmania infection in European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) in Greece: GIS analysis and phylogenetic position within the Leishmania spp
(2016)Although the existence of a sylvatic transmission cycle of Leishmania spp., independent from the domestic cycle, has been proposed, data are scarce on Leishmania infection in wild mammals in Greece. In this study, we aimed ... -
Genome analysis of two type 6 echovirus (E6) strains recovered from sewage specimens in Greece in 2006
(2012)Echovirus 6 (E6) is one of the main enteroviral serotypes that was isolated from cases of aseptic meningitis and encephalitis during the last years in Greece. Two E6 (LR51A5 and LR61G3) were isolated from the sewage treatment ... -

(2013)Sixty-four samples from the groundwater resources of Trikala municipality, central Greece, were collected during two periods (2006 and 2007) and analyzed for physico-chemical parameters (temperature, pH, specific electrical ... -
Hair dyes as a risk for autoimmunity: From systemic lupus erythematosus to primary biliary cirrhosis
(2013)Environmental and genetic factors appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by immune-mediated destruction of the small and medium sized ... -
Infectome: A platform to trace infectious triggers of autoimmunity
(2013)The "exposome" is a term recently used to describe all environmental factors, both exogenous and endogenous, which we are exposed to in a lifetime. It represents an important tool in the study of autoimmunity, complementing ... -
Isolation and identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria from hospitalized patients and drinking water samples—examination of their correlation by chemometrics
(2016)Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have been found to be widely dispersed in the environment and are being considered potentially pathogenic for humans and animals, while reports of their human to human transmission are ... -
