Accurate modeling of the cyclic response of structural components constructed of steel with yield plateau
(2012)A time-independent constitutive model for structural steels with a yield plateau is presented. The model is based on the basic principles of time-independent plasticity. The model couples the nonlinear kinematic hardening ... -
Analysing consumers' perceived differences in wild and farmed fish
(2015)Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate consumers' attitudes and behaviours towards wild and farmed fish, in order to identify possible distinct consumer groups, and to examine potential linkages between ... -
Attitudes Regarding Occupational Vaccines and Vaccination Coverage Against Vaccine-preventable Diseases Among Healthcare Workers Working in Pediatric Departments in Greece
(2012)We studied the attitudes with regard to occupational vaccines and vaccination coverage among healthcare workers in pediatric departments. Completed vaccination rates were 33%, 33%, 41.7%, 3%, 5.8%, 69.2% and 36.3% against ... -
beta-Lactoglobulin improves liposome's encapsulation properties for vitamin E delivery
(2014)Vitamin E (VE) or alpha-tocopherol is the major fat-soluble antioxidant in the human body. It is a sensitive, easily oxidized in the air, molecule, so it must be protected from pro-oxidant elements which could affect its ... -
Bounding surface plasticity model for the seismic liquefaction analysis of geostructures
(2010)This paper presents the constitutive relations and the simulative potential of a new plasticity model developed mainly for the seismic liquefaction analysis of geostructures. The model incorporates the framework of critical ... -
Bully/victim problems and their association with Machiavellianism and self-efficacy in Greek primary school children
(2004)Background. Previous research demonstrated that Machiavellian beliefs are linked with bully/victim problems at school. However, Machiavellianism was treated as a single construct and not as multidimensional. Children's ... -
Bully/victim problems and their association with psychological constructs in 8-to 12-year-old Greek school children
(2000)The aim of the present study was to replicate some of the already existing findings regarding the assessment of bully/victim problems in a sample of Greek primary school pupils using the Bullying Behaviour Scale and the ... -
Canine acral lick dermatitis syndrome
(2012)Canine acral lick dermatitis is a complicated and challenging syndrome occurring in companion animal dermatology. Skin lesions are caused by intense and prolonged licking of a localized area, usually on the lower parts of ... -
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 ... -
Cellular-automata and individual-based approaches for the modeling of biofilm structures: Pros and cons
(2010)Fresh water shortage is one of the greatest problems of modern society; as a result, water desalination, particularly with membrane processes, is becoming increasingly important, since it makes possible the use of brackish ... -
Clinical evaluation of reproductive ability of rams
(2010)Clinical evaluation of reproductive ability of rams is an integral part of sheep health management programs. The majority of problems adversely affecting the reproductive ability of rams can be easily detected with clinical ... -
Collapse of pressurized elastoplastic tubular members under lateral loads
(2004)The present work examines the collapse of tubular members subjected to lateral (transverse) quasi-static loading in the presence of uniform pressure. In particular, it investigates pressure effects on the ultimate lateral ... -
Constitutive Model for Cyclic Response of Structural Steels with Yield Plateau
(2011)A rate-independent cyclic plasticity model for structural steels with a yield plateau is proposed. The model couples nonlinear kinematic hardening with a memory surface in the plastic strain space, to account for the ... -
Constitutive modeling of solid propellant materials with evolving microstructural damage
(2008)Solid propellants are composite materials with complex microstructure. In a generic form, the material consists of polymeric binder, crystal oxidizer (e.g., ammonium perchlorate), and fuel particles (e.g., aluminum). Severe ... -
Corrosion-induced hydrogen embrittlement in aluminum alloy 2024
(2006)The present paper focuses on the observed corrosion-induced embrittlement of alloy 2024 and tries to answer the key question on whether the observed embrittlement is attributed to hydrogen uptake and trapping in the material. ... -
Cultivation and characterization of Cynara Cardunculus for solid biofuels production in the Mediterranean region
(2008)Technical specifications of solid biofuels are continuously improved towards the development and promotion of their market. Efforts in the Greek market are limited, mainly due to the climate particularity of the region, ... -
Denting of internally pressurized tubes under lateral loads
(2006)The present work examines the structural response of tubular members subjected to lateral quasi-static loading, imposed by wedge-shaped denting devices, in the presence of internal pressure. First, tubes are modeled with ... -
Depression and pulmonary function in outpatients with asthma
(2004)The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between depression, anxiety and pulmonary function in asthmatics. Thirty-eight adult asthmatic patients underwent psychometric evaluation with the DSSI/sAD questionnaire, ... -
Design in shear of reinforced concrete short columns
(2013)This research was prompted by the paucity of specific code provisions regarding the design of short columns for shear. The purpose of this paper was to investigate whether the use of the normal shear design procedure of ...
