Evaluation of geotechnical parameters for effective landfill design and risk assessment
(2007)Sanitary landfill remains an attractive disposal route for household, commercial and industrial waste, as it is more economical than alternative solutions. The landfill biodegradation processes are complex, including many ... -
Exploring deep learning capabilities in knee osteoarthritis case study for classification
(2019)This research study is devoted to the investigation of deep neural networks (DNN) for classification of the complex problem of knee osteoarthritis diagnosis. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic condition of the ... -
Fish welfare in aquaponic systems: Its relation to water quality with an emphasis on feed and faeces-A review
(2017)Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture (fish) and hydroponic cultivation of plants. This review examines fish welfare in relation to rearing water quality, fish feed and fish waste and faeces to develop a sustainable ... -
A free terrain model for trajectory k-anonymity
(2008)This paper introduces a privacy model for location based services that utilizes collected movement data to identify parts of the user trajectories, where user privacy is at an elevated risk. To protect the privacy of the ... -
Hazardous enrichment of toxic elements in soils and olives in the urban zone of Lavrio, Greece, a legacy, millennia-old silver/lead mining area and related health risk assessment
(2022)Lavrio is a Greek town with several abandoned Ag/Pb mines. In this study, 19 potentially toxic elements (PTEs) were measured in soil, weeds, and olives. Levels of seven of the studied PTEs in soil were highly elevated: Zn ... -
Hazardous toxic metal(loid)s in top- and deep-soils during the transformation of aquaculture ponds restored to farmland
(2022)The pollution risks due to the soil migration of toxic metal(loid)s (TMs) are a greatly hazard to ecological environment as well as animal and human health. Previous studies have primarily focused on surface contamination ... -
Hazards that threaten Greek wetlands: The case of Lake Koronia
(2008)Wetlands all over the world have been recognized as some of the most productive, multifunctional and dynamic ecosystems and they are under protection according to European Union legislation. However, they are under imminent ... -
Health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in soils along the Central Elbe River, Germany
(2019)Floodplain soils across Central Elbe River (CER), Germany, vary considerably in potentially toxic element (PTE) content. However, there has never been a comprehensive study that links PTE levels with human health risk for ... -
The human GPCR signal transduction network
(2021)The eukaryotic cell surface G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) interact with a wide spectrum of ligands. The intracellular transmission of the extracellular signal is mediated by the selective coupling of GPCRs to G ... -
Human health risk via soil ingestion of potentially toxic elements and remediation potential of native plants near an abandoned mine spoil in Ghana
(2021)Integrated studies about potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in sites near gold mining spoils, their contamination and human health risk, as well as remediation potential of native plants are limited. Therefore, our aim was ... -
Identification and characterization of tebuconazole transformation products in soil by combining suspect screening and molecular typology
(2016)Pesticides generate transformation products (TPs) when they are released into the environment. These TPs may be of ecotoxicological importance. Past studies have demonstrated how difficult it is to predict the occurrence ... -
IF3: An Interpretable Feature Fusion Framework for Lesion Risk Assessment Based on Auto-constructed Fuzzy Cognitive Maps
(2022)The detection of abnormalities in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including precancerous lesions, is substantially subject to expert knowledge and experience. To address the challenge of automated lesion risk assessment, ... -
Integrated assessment of the impact of land use types on soil pollution by potentially toxic elements and the associated ecological and human health risk
(2022)The impact of land use type on the content of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the soils of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) and the associated ecological and human health risks has drawn great attention. Consequently, ... -
Integrated biodepuration of pesticide-contaminated wastewaters from the fruit-packaging industry using biobeds: Bioaugmentation, risk assessment and optimized management
(2016)Wastewaters from fruit-packaging plants contain high loads of toxic and persistent pesticides and should be treated on site. We evaluated the depuration performance of five pilot biobeds against those effluents. In addition ... -
Machine learning approaches for predicting health risk of cyanobacterial blooms in Northern European Lakes
(2020)Cyanobacterial blooms are considered a major threat to global water security with documented impacts on lake ecosystems and public health. Given that cyanobacteria possess highly adaptive traits that favor them to prevail ... -
Modelling cyber-risk in an economic perspective
(2021)In this paper, we present a theoretical approach concerning the econometric modelling for the estimation of cyber-security risk, with the use of time-series analysis methods and alternatively with Machine Learning (ML) ... -
A new method for the assessment of discourse comprehension abilities of older adults with mild cognitive impairment
(2016)In the present study, we assess reading comprehension abilities in different discourse types along with visual processing and executive functioning through innovative language tasks performed in a computerized environment. ... -
