Accounting for modeling errors and inherent structural variability through a hierarchical bayesian model updating approach: An overview
(2020)Mechanics-based dynamic models are commonly used in the design and performance assessment of structural systems, and their accuracy can be improved by integrating models with measured data. This paper provides an overview ... -
Analytical studies assessing the association between extreme precipitation or temperature and drinking water-related waterborne infections: A review
(2015)Determining the role of weather in waterborne infections is a priority public health research issue as climate change is predicted to increase the frequency of extreme precipitation and temperature events. To document the ... -
Bacterial communities and potential spoilage markers of whole blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) stored under commercial simulated conditions
(2019)Bacterial communities composition using 16S Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) profile of whole blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) stored at 4 and 10 °C (proper and abuse temperature) ... -
Bimetallic Ni‒Co phosphide nanosheets self-supported on nickel foam as high-performance electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction
(2019)In this work, bimetallic nickel-cobalt phosphide (Ni-Co-P/NF) self-supported on nickel foam (NF) is synthesized for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). A two-step method of electrodeposition with subsequently low-temperature ... -
Biological activity of two new pyrrole derivatives against stored-product species: Influence of temperature and relative humidity
(2016)Members of the pyrrole group are likely to have interesting properties that merit additional investigation as insecticides at the post-harvest stages of agricultural commodities. In the present work, the insecticidal effect ... -
Case studies of a modified biological simulator (TOMGRO) according to short cropping period
(2012)The aim of this work was to perform a sensitivity analysis of a modified biological simulator (TOMGRO) in tomato crop during winter period. The modified biological simulator (TOMGRO) that used for case studies of the ... -
Characterization of the biodegradation, bioremediation and detoxification capacity of a bacterial consortium able to degrade the fungicide thiabendazole
(2017)Thiabendazole (TBZ) is a persistent fungicide used in the post-harvest treatment of fruits. Its application results in the production of contaminated effluents which should be treated before their environmental discharge. ... -
Chill coma recovery of Ceratitis capitata adults across the Northern Hemisphere
(2022)The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae), is an invasive pest, that is currently expanding its geographic distribution from the Mediterranean coasts to more temperate areas of Europe. Given ... -
Climate change threatens the microbiological stability of non-refrigerated foods
(2022)Most studies on the impact of climate change on foods focus on the consequences to security and safety. In the present study we provide scientific evidence on an overlooked aspect of climate change related to the microbiological ... -
Comparison of ARIMA and Transfer Function (TF) models in Water Temperature simulation in dam - Lake Thesaurus, eastern Macedonia, Greece
(2010)In the present work, two modelling and forecasting techniques were evaluated on the basis of: a) their efficiency to forecast and b) their ability to utilize auxiliary environmental information: ARIMA and Transfer Function ... -
A comparison of statistical approaches used for the optimization of soluble protein expression in Escherichia coli
(2016)During a discovery project of potential inhibitors for three proteins, TNF-α, RANKL and HO-1, implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis, significant amounts of purified proteins were required. The application ... -
A computational fluid dynamics modelling of maternal-fetal heat exchange and blood flow in the umbilical cord
(2020)Human fetal thermoregulation, maternal-fetal heat exchange, and the role of the umbilical cord in these processes are not well understood. Ethical and technical limitations have restricted current knowledge to animal ... -
Daily temperature optimisation in greenhouse by reinforcement learning
(2005)The goal of this study is to show the usefulness of reinforcement learning (RL) to solve a common greenhouse climate optimisation problem. The problem is to minimise the daily heating cost while achieving simultaneously ... -
Diapause Termination in Sesamia nonagrioides (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) under Laboratory and Field Conditions
(1998)The influence of photoperiod and temperature on the termination of diapause of Sesamia nonagrioides (Levebvre) was evaluated under laboratory and field conditions. Long-day photoperiod enhanced termination of diapause. ... -
Effect of Actual Recuperators’ Effectiveness on the Attainable Efficiency of Supercritical CO2 Brayton Cycles for Solar Thermal Power Plants
(2022)One of the most promising concentrated solar power technologies is the central receiver tower power station with heliostat field, which has attracted renewed research interest in the current decade. The introduction of the ... -
The effect of cold dialysis in motor and sensory symptoms of RLS/WED occurring during hemodialysis: A double-blind study
(2017)Restless legs syndrome/Willis–Ekbom disease (RLS/WED) is a common sensorimotory disorder affecting almost 30% of hemodialysis (HD) patients. RLS/WED induces discomfort during rest hours, and its symptoms have also been ... -
Effect of host fruit, temperature and Wolbachia infection on survival and development of Ceratitis capitata immature stages
