Maximum urban heat island intensity in a medium-sized coastal Mediterranean city
(2012)
This paper studies the maximum intensity of the urban heat island (UHI) that develops in Volos urban area, a medium-sized coastal city in central Greece. The maximum temperature difference between the city center and a ...
Variance-reduced DSMC for binary gas flows as defined by the McCormack kinetic model
(2012)
A variance-reduced direct simulation Monte Carlo method is presented for binary gas flows as defined by the McCormack kinetic model. Two types of flow configuration, namely pressure driven flow between two parallel plates ...
Development, growth, feeding and reproduction of Ceratomegilla undecimnotata, Hippodamia variegata and Coccinella septempunctata fed on the tobacco aphid, Myzus persicae nicotianae
(2015)
The demographic parameters and the larval aphid consumption of the predatory coccinellids Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) and Ceratomegilla undecimnotata (Schneider) were examined at five constant temperatures (17, 20, 23, ...
Conductive heat transfer in a rarefied polyatomic gas confined between coaxial cylinders
(2014)
The conductive heat transfer through rarefied gases composed by rigid rotators and confined between coaxially placed cylinders maintained at different temperatures is investigated on the basis of the Holway and Rykov kinetic ...
Modelling Tomato Dehydration in a Tunnel Dryer Using Geothermal Energy
(2013)
Low-temperature geothermal waters can be used efficiently in drying various vegetables and fruits, replacing sun-drying or drying using conventional fuels. A geothermal tomato dehydration plant has been operating since ...
SHADING EFFECTS ON GREENHOUSE MICROCLIMATE AND CROP TRANSPIRATION IN A CUCUMBER CROP GROWN UNDER MEDITERRANEAN CONDITIONS
(2012)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of greenhouse shading on greenhouse microclimate and energy balance, and on crop production. Experiments were carried out in the experimental farm of the University of ...
Local infusion of ascorbate augments NO-dependent cutaneous vasodilatation during intense exercise in the heat
(2015)
Nitric oxide (NO)-dependent cutaneous vasodilatation is reportedly diminished during exercise performed at a high (700W) relative to moderate (400W) rate of metabolic heat production. The present study evaluated whether ...
Physico-chemical and sensory attributes in conjunction with multivariate analysis of two potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars after 90 days of storage: an exploratory authentication study
(2008)
Two cultivars of potato (Spunta and Agria), were studied in terms of their physico-chemical and sensory characteristics. These cultivars were cultivated in three geographical regions of Greece (Macedonia, North Greece; ...
Feeding frequency and feed intake in the African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell 1822)
(2003)
Triplicate groups of subadult catfish (Clarias gariepinus; 102.18+/-30.48 g) were fed a purified diet to satiation twice or three times a day during the daylight hours for 26 days. Fish fed twice a day consumed 1.42+/-0.49% ...
