BIOMASS PRODUCTION AND N-USE OF FIBRE SORGHUM UNDER DIFFERENT COVER CROPPING MANAGEMENT, NITROGEN INFLUXES AND SOIL TYPES IN CENTRAL GREECE
(2014)Field experiments were carried out over a period of three years to evaluate the effect of cover cropping faba bean with fibre sorghum, compared to mono-crop cultivation, on yield (dry matter), nitrogen utilization efficiency ... -
Bird community characteristics as indicators of sustainable management in olive grove ecosystems of Central Greece
(2015)The role of breeding birds as indicators of sustainable management in olive groves was investigated. The data revealed significantly higher alpha diversity in organic and abandoned olive groves and maquis than in conventional ... -
Carburization of high-temperature steels: A simulation-based ranking of carburization resistance
(2015)Carburization is a failure mechanism affecting equipment, such as furnace tubes, operating at high temperatures. Carburization simulations were carried out for the heat-resistant steels referred to the API-530 standard by ... -
Comparative efficiency of honeycomb and conventional pedigree methods of selection for yield and fiber quality in cotton (Gossypium spp.)
(2001)The effectiveness of honeycomb pedigree selection (HPS) as compared to conventional pedigree selection (CPS) was studied in one intraspecific (G. hirsutum L. x G. hirsutum L.) cross population (population I) and one ... -
Corn tolerance to atrazine and cadmium and sunflower to cadmium in soil and hydroponic culture
(2008)Hydroponic culture is often used for screening plant tolerance or remediation efficacy to environmental pollutants. Field experiments are usually avoided because of soil and groundwater contamination; thus pot experiments ... -
Effect of cotton cultivars on the oviposition preference of pink bollworm (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)
(2010)The effect of four cotton cultivars on the oviposition behavior of the pink bollworm Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) was studied under laboratory and semi-field conditions. Young plants and bolls from four commercial ... -
Effect of Melissa officinalis supplementation on growth performance and meat quality characteristics in organically produced broilers
(2014)1. A trial was conducted to study the effect of Melissa officinalis supplementation on organic broiler performance and meat chemical, microbiological, sensory and nutritional quality. 2. Male and female day-old Ross 308 ... -
Full and part load exergetic analysis of a hybrid micro gas turbine fuel cell system based on existing components
(2012)The paper deals with the examination of a hybrid system consisting of a pre-commercially available high temperature solid oxide fuel cell and an existing recuperated microturbine. The irreversibilities and thermodynamic ... -
Heavy-Metal Concentration in Tobacco Leaves in Relation to Their Available Soil Fractions
(2009)Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is one of the most important agricultural products in Greece. The accumulation of heavy metals in tobacco leaves in accordance with a possible risk of transferring them to people by smoke is ... -
Highly Dynamic Exon Shuffling in Candidate Pathogen Receptors ... What if Brown Algae Were Capable of Adaptive Immunity?
(2012)Pathogen recognition is the first step of immune reactions. In animals and plants, direct or indirect pathogen recognition is often mediated by a wealth of fast-evolving receptors, many of which contain ligand-binding and ... -
Host-correlated morphological variation of Myzus persicae (Hemiptera : Aphididae) populations in Greece
(2000)Morphological variation in nine characters of 157 clones of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) was examined by multivariate analysis. The clones were collected from peach, Prunus persica, the primary host and the secondary hosts ... -
Host-related morphological variation within Myzus persicae group (Homoptera : Aphididae) from Japan
(2007)There have been independent long-term studies of tobacco-adapted populations of Myzus persicae in Japan and Greece, but until now no direct comparisons have been made between them. In Japan, as in Greece, tobacco aphids ... -
The impact of biological pesticides on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(2012)Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have a key role for plant nutrition in organic farming systems where crop protection relies on biopesticides. Although these are considered safe, their effects on non-target organisms, ... -
THE IMPACT OF HUMAN LAND USE ON THE COMPOSITION AND RICHNESS OF GROUND AND DUNG BEETLE ASSEMBLAGES
(2014)This paper presents the results of a survey on the habitat and seasonal variation in activity density and richness of ground and dung beetle assemblages in a heterogeneous landscape of central Greece. Beetles were collected ... -
Improving hybrid SOFC-GT systems performance through turbomachinery design
(2014)A methodology to improve the performance of a hybrid solid oxide fuel cell gas turbine (SOFC-GT) system for the whole operating range is proposed. The method suggests a way to estimate the geometric parameters of the ... -
The inhibitory potential of feed supplementation with rosemary and/or alpha-tocopheryl acetate on microbial growth and lipid oxidation of turkey breast during refrigerated storage
(2007)Twenty-four 12-week-old female turkeys divided into four equal groups were fed a basal diet (CONT) or basal diet supplemented with 300mg alpha-tocopheryl acetate/kg (TOC), or 5g rosemary/kg (ROS5), or 10g rosemary/kg ...
