Abiotic and biotic factors affect efficacy of chlorfenapyr for control of stored-product insect pests
(2011)Laboratory bioassays were conducted to assess pyrole chlorfenapyr as a potential grain protectant against adults of Rhyzopertha dominica, Sitophilus oryzae, Prostephanus truncatus, Tribolium confusum, and Liposcelis ... -
An advanced empirical model for quantifying the impact of heat and climate change on human physical work capacity
(2021)Occupational heat stress directly hampers physical work capacity (PWC), with large economic consequences for industries and regions vulnerable to global warming. Accurately quantifying PWC is essential for forecasting ... -
Aging Impairs Whole-Body Heat Loss in Women under Both Dry and Humid Heat Stress
(2017)Purpose This study was designed to determine whether age-related impairments in whole-body heat loss, which are known to exist in dry heat, also occur in humid heat in women. Methods To evaluate this possibility, 10 young ... -
Beat the Heat: Effects of a Motivational Self-Talk Intervention on Endurance Performance
(2018)The study examined the effects of a motivational self-talk intervention on endurance cycling performance in hot conditions. Participants were 16 physically active adult men. After a baseline VO2 peak assessment and two ... -
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 ... -
Competition of three species of Sitophilus on rice and maize
(2017)Laboratory tests were carried out in order to examine competition among three congeneric species on rice and maize: the granary weevil, Sitophilus granarius, the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae and the maize weevil, Sitophilus ... -
Computational fluid dynamics modelling of the microclimate within the boundary layer of leaves leading to improved pest control management and low-input greenhouse
(2021)This work aims at using the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) approach to study the distributed microclimate in the leaf boundary layer of greenhouse crops. Understanding the interactions in this microclimate of this natural ... -
Effect of host fruit, temperature and Wolbachia infection on survival and development of Ceratitis capitata immature stages
(2020)The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae), holds an impressive record of successful invasions promoted by the growth and development of international fruit trade. Hence, survival of immatures ... -
Effect of misting on transpiration and conductances of a greenhouse rose canopy
(2001)The influence of greenhouse humidity control on the transpiration rate (lambdaE(c)). sensible heat flux (H-c) and bulk stomatal conductance (g(c)) of a soilless rose canopy (Rosa hybrida. cv. First Red) was studied in a ... -
The effect of plasma osmolality and baroreceptor loading status on postexercise heat loss responses
(2016)We examined the separate and combined effects of plasma osmolality and baroreceptor loading status on postexercise heat loss responses. Nine young males completed a 45-min treadmill exercise protocol at 58 ± 2% V O2 peak, ... -
Effect of PM2.5 Levels on ED Visits for Respiratory Causes in a Greek Semi-Urban Area
(2022)Fine particulate matter that have a diameter of <2.5 μm (PM2.5) are an important factor of anthropogenic pollution since they are associated with the development of acute respiratory illnesses. The aim of this prospective ... -
Effects of exercise-heat stress on circulating stress hormones and interleukin-6 in young and older men
(2020)Aging is associated with impairments in thermoregulatory function, which may augment the neuroendocrine and immune response in older relative to young adults during physical activity in the heat. This study was therefore ... -
Effects of photoperiod and relative humidity on diapause termination and post-winter development of Rhagoletis cerasi pupae
(2020)The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a univoltine species that undergoes obligatory summer-winter diapause at pupal stage in the soil (2-5 cm) beneath host trees. To study the effects ... -
Effects of Thermal Acclimation on the Tolerance of Bactrocera zonata (Diptera: Tephritidae) to Hydric Stress
(2021)Insects, similarly to other small terrestrial invertebrates, are particularly susceptible to climatic stress. Physiological adjustments to cope with the environment (i.e., acclimation) together with genetic makeup eventually ... -
Evidence for age-related differences in heat acclimatisation responsiveness
(2020)New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Repeated heat exposure during the summer months can enhance heat loss in humans (seasonal heat acclimatisation), but does the magnitude of that enhancement differ ... -

Greenhouse evaporative cooling: Measurement and data analysis
(2001)Temperature and humidity gradients were investigated during summer in a commercial greenhouse producing cut roses, equipped with a ventilated cooling-pad system and a half-shaded plastic roof In a steady regime, the cooling ... -
Greenhouse microclimate and dehumidification effectiveness under different ventilator configurations
(2007)In this paper, the efficiency of two different greenhouse ventilation opening configurations on greenhouse microclimate during dehumidification process with simultaneously heating and ventilation was analysed by means of ... -
Heart rate variability during high heat stress: A comparison between young and older adults with and without type 2 diabetes
(2016)We examined whether older individuals with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) experience differences in heart rate variability (HRV) during a 3-hour exposure to high heat stress compared to young adults. Young (YOUNG; n=22; ... -
The HEAT-SHIELD project — Perspectives from an inter-sectoral approach to occupational heat stress
(2021)Objectives: To provide perspectives from the HEAT-SHIELD project (www.heat-shield.eu): a multi-national, inter-sectoral, and cross-disciplinary initiative, incorporating twenty European research institutions, as well as ...
