Air temperature regime in a forced ventilated greenhouse with rose crop
(2005)The use of forced ventilation for greenhouse cooling and air humidity regulation purposes has been expanded around Mediterranean area. The aim of the present study was the experimental investigation of the variables, as ... -
Autoregressive energy-efficient context forwarding in wireless sensor networks for pervasive healthcare systems
(2014)Driven by technological advances in low-power network systems and medical sensors, we have witnessed during the recent years the adoption of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in electronic healthcare. Improving the quality ... -
Bayesian uncertainty quantification and propagation for discrete element simulations of granular materials
(2014)Predictions in the behavior of granular materials using Discrete Element Methods (DEM) hinge on the employed interaction potentials. Here we introduce a data driven, Bayesian framework to quantify DEM predictions. Our ... -
Blood reflects tissue oxidative stress depending on biomarker and tissue studied
(2009)This study investigated whether selected oxidative stress markers measured in blood adequately reflect redox status in skeletal muscle, heart, and liver. Several markers were determined after implementing two treatments ... -
A COMPARISON OF STRENGTH AND STRETCH INTERVENTIONS ON ACTIVE AND PASSIVE RANGES OF MOVEMENT IN DANCERS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
(2013)Wyon, MA, Smith, A, and Koutedakis, Y. A comparison of strength and stretch interventions on active and passive ranges of movement in dancers: a randomized controlled trial. J Strength Cond Res 27(11): 3053-3059, 2013The ... -
Dietary Supplementation of Benzoic Acid and Essential Oil Compounds Affects Buffering Capacity of the Feeds, Performance of Turkey Poults and Their Antioxidant Status, pH in the Digestive Tract, Intestinal Microbiota and Morphology
(2014)Three trials were conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementation of a basal diet with benzoic acid or thymol or a mixture of essential oil blends (MEO) or a combination of benzoic acid with MEO (BMEO) on growth ... -
Differences in susceptibility to Mannheimia haemolytica-associated mastitis between two breeds of dairy sheep
(2007)We used a Mannheimia haemolytica isolate to study differences in susceptibility to experimental mastitis between two breeds of dairy sheep. The isolate was deposited into the teat duct of Karagouniko (K, n=8) or Frisarta ... -
Fuzzy sets in seismic inelastic analysis and design of reinforced concrete frames
(2003)In this paper, a new approach to the problem of estimating the structural response of systems with uncertain characteristics is presented. The approach is based on the theory of fuzzy sets, which allow the designers to ... -
The grapevine aphid, Aphis illinoisensis: thermal requirements for development and its performance on six grapevine cultivars
(2012)The grapevine aphid, Aphis illinoisensis (Shimer), has invaded various regions in the Mediterranean basin. The aim of this study was to determine the thermal requirements for aphid development and to assess its performance ... -
Increased visfatin in hemodialysis patients is associated with decreased demands for recombinant human erythropoietin
(2013)Background: Studies detected an association between visfatin and markers of iron metabolism in patients with insulin resistance. In this study, such a relation was evaluated in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Also relations ... -
Influence of hemodialysis on the mean blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery
(2005)Background: Several effects of hemodialysis, including hemoconcentration, alterations of hemostasis or hemorheology and endothelial activation, could potentially interfere with cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation. These ... -
The influence of winter vitamin D supplementation on muscle function and injury occurrence in elite ballet dancers: A controlled study
(2014)Objectives: Athletes who train indoors during the winter months exhibit low serum 25.rhydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations due to a lack of sunlight exposure. This has been linked to impaired exercise performance. The ... -
Landscape risk analysis for pesticides applied to rice paddies
(2006)The use of geographical information system (GIS) datasets in combination with mathematical modeling has been proven a powerful tool for modeling refinement at higher tier assessment in all crop situations. This study ... -
NTCP modelling and pulmonary function tests evaluation for the prediction of radiation induced pneumonitis in non-small-cell lung cancer radiotherapy
(2007)This work aims to evaluate the predictive strength of the relative seriality, parallel and Lyman-Kutcher-Burman (LKB) normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models regarding the incidence of radiation pneumonitis ... -
Numerical modelling of flow and transport processes in a calciner for cement production
(2007)Controlling the calcination process in industrial cement kilns is of particular importance because it affects fuel consumption, pollutant emission and the final cement quality. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of ... -
Subject Recognition Based on Ground Reaction Force Measurements of Gait Signals
(2008)An effective subject recognition approach is designed in this paper, using ground reaction force (GRF) measurements of human gait. The method is a three-stage procedure: 1) The original GRF data are translated through ... -
Walking kinematics and kinetics following eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage
(2013)The goal of this investigation was to investigate how walking patterns are affected following muscle-damaging exercise by quantifying both lower limb kinematics and kinetics. Fifteen young women conducted a maximal isokinetic ...
