Influence of Ambient Ozone Pollution on Olive Leaf Gas Exchange Irrigated with Saline Water
(2011)Saline water is often available for irrigation and ambient ozone pollution is significant in the Mediterranean region. These two factors may negatively affect cultivated plant productivity. We studied the effects of a ... -
The Influence of Arc-Flash and Fire-Resistant Clothing on Thermoregulation during Exercise in the Heat
(2015)We evaluated the effect of arc-flash and fire-resistant (AFR) clothing ensembles (CE) on whole-body heat dissipation during work in the heat. On 10 occasions, 7 males performed four 15-min cycling bouts at a fixed rate of ... -
Muscle-driven finite element simulation of human foot movements
(2012)This paper describes a finite element scheme for realistic muscle-driven simulation of human foot movements. The scheme is used to simulate human ankle plantar flexion. A three-dimensional anatomically detailed finite ... -
Older Firefighters Are Susceptible to Age-Related Impairments in Heat Dissipation
(2015)Purpose: The aging-induced reduction inwhole-body heat loss (H-L) capacity generates concerns regarding the continued participation of older workers in occupations such as firefighting. We compared H-L and change in body ... -
Oxidative status in ICU patients with septic shock
(2013)The aim of this pilot study was to investigate variability of oxidative stress during sepsis evolution. ICU patients with the diagnosis of septic shock were included. Thiobarbituric-acid reactive substances, total antioxidant ... -
Pomegranate juice consumption increases GSH levels and reduces lipid and protein oxidation in human blood
(2014)The aim of the present study was the assessment of the antioxidant effects of pomegranate juice (PJ) consumption in humans. Thus, 14 healthy volunteers consumed PJ daily for a period of 15 days and the changes of oxidative ... -
Psychiatric factors in patients with sensitive skin
(2005)The term sensitive skin has been used to describe a clinical phenomenon of skin hyperreactivity induced after exposure to different external factors. The diagnosis is mainly based on patient's self-assessment because of ... -
Reductive stress after exercise: The issue of redox individuality
(2014)Exercise has been consistently used as an oxidant stimulus in redox biology studies. However, previous studies have focused on group differences and did not examine individual differences. As a result, it remains untested ... -
The Relation of the Vickers Hardness With the Loading Stiffness of Instrumented Vickers Indentation of Metal Substrates
(2010)The present paper presents a relation between the vickers hardness HV and the loading stiffness C of instrumented vickers indentation of metal substrates. The relation is based on the fact that the nonaxisymmetry of the ... -
Religiosity and psychological well-being
(2009)The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between religiosity and psychological wellbeing in a sample of Greek Orthodox Christians. Previous research has documented that personal devotion, participation ... -
ROS-major mediators of extracellular matrix remodeling during tumor progression
(2013)Extracellular matrices (ECMs) represent a complex network of proteins, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), composed of independent structural domains, ultimately constituting the cell microenvironment. As a highly ... -
Size-relative Effectiveness of Clove Oil as an Anaesthetic for Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) and Goldfish (Carassius auratus Linnaeus, 1758)
(2010)The purpose of this work was to investigate the size relative effectiveness of clove oil as an anaesthetic for rainbow trout and goldfish In total 128 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) (two groups of 20 23 and 30 33 cm ... -
Study of Insulin Resistance, TNF-alpha, Total Antioxidant Capacity and Lipid Profile in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure under Exercise
(2011)Gluco-metabolic syndrome, oxidative stress and inflammation are common in chronic heart failure (CHF). Exercise training programmes are known to improve oxidative status, insulin sensitivity and endothelial function. In ... -
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) nutrients use efficiency and uptake characteristics, and biomass yield for solid biofuel production under Mediterranean conditions
(2014)Switchgrass produces high amounts of biomass that can be used for solid biofuel production. In this study, the dry biomass yield vs. N-P-K nutrient uptake relations as well as the N-mineralization and the N-fertilization ... -
Therapeutic value of antidepressants in asthma
(2005)Laboratory and clinical data provide evidence that a biological linkage exists between asthma and depression. Cytokines are key molecules in both diseases. They promote allergic reaction as well as depressive symptomatology. ... -
Two-Season Study of the Influence of Regulated Deficit Irrigation and Reflective Mulch on Individual and Total Phenolic Compounds of Nectarines at Harvest and during Storage
(2010)The influence of deficit irrigation (Deficit) and reflective mulch (Reflective) of Caldesi 2000 nectarines on the content of individual phenolic compounds was studied at harvest and during storage for 2, 4, and 6 weeks at ...
