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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 temperature and relative humidity on the efficacy of spinetoram for the control of three stored product beetle species
(2013)The effect of temperature and relative humidity (r.h.) on the efficacy of spinetoram on wheat was investigated against three stored product insect species. Laboratory bioassays were conducted on wheat in all combinations ... -
An exergetic analysis of an ethanol FED SOFC-GT hybrid system
(2009)A parametric analysis optimization and comparison of the exergetic efficiency (2nd law) of two different Solid Oxide Fuel Cell based power plants (SOFC-GT and SOFC) is carried out in the present work. The fuel with which ... -
Greenhouse evaporative cooling: Measurement and data analysis
(2000)Temperature and humidity gradients were investigated during summer in a rose production greenhouse equipped with a ventilated cooling-pad system and a half shaded plastic roof. In a steady regime, the cooling process reached ... -
Hydrogen production via aqueous - Phase glucose reforming: A thermodynamic approach
(2009)In the present work the thermodynamic analysis of aqueous - phase glucose reforming reaction has been studied. For the investigation purposes the temperature range of 0 - 100°C and atmospheric total pressure have been ... -
Monitoring particulate matter levels and climate conditions in a Greek sheep and goat livestock building
(2011)Atmospheric pollutants from livestock operations influence air quality inside livestock buildings and the air exhausted from them. The climate that prevails inside the building affects human and animal health and welfare, ... -
On a new principle of a smart multisensor based on magnetic effects
(2006)In this paper, a new principle of a smart sensor is proposed, based on three different magnetic effects or operational modes, using the same sensor topology, which consists of a magnetic wire as sensing core, two coils as ... -
Physiological and biological patterns of a highland and a coastal population of the European cherry fruit fly during diapause
(2011)Adult emergence of univoltine temperate insect species and its synchronization with specific host phenological stages is mainly regulated by obligatory pupal diapause. Although a few studies have investigated the factors ... -
Retained austenite and mechanical properties in bainite transformed low alloy steels
(1995)Uniform ductility and formability of low alloy steels can be improved by the transformation plasticity effect of metastable retained austenite. In this work, intercritical annealing followed by bainite transformation ... -
A review on ergonomics of headgear: Thermal effects
(2015)The thermal effects related to wearing headgear are complex and different studies have investigated single parts of this topic. This review aims at summarizing the different findings to give a complete overview on this ... -
SOFC fuel cell heat production: Analysis
(2011)In the present work the effect of various heat sources on the temperature field within an Anode Supported Planar Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (ASP-SOFC) is studied. In order to describe the thermal behavior within the SOFC during ... -
Study of the products distribution during a direct ethanol PEM fuel cell operation
