Inactivation, removal, and regrowth potential of opportunistic pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes in recycled water systems
(2021)With two thirds of the global population living in areas affected by water scarcity, wastewater reuse is actively being implemented or explored by many nations. There is a need to better understand the efficacy of recycled ... -
Integrating the Carbon and Water Footprints' Costs in the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC Full Water Cost Recovery Concept: Basic Principles Towards Their Reliable Calculation and Socially Just Allocation
(2012)This paper presents the basic principles for the integration of the water and carbon footprints cost into the resource and environmental costs respectively, taking the suggestions set by the Water Framework Directive (WFD) ... -
Irrigation of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) with microcystin-enriched water holds low risk for plants and their associated rhizopheric and epiphytic microbiome
(2020)Microcystins (MCs) are toxins produced during cyanobacterial blooms. They reach soil and translocated to plants through irrigation of agricultural land with water from MC-impacted freshwater systems. To date we have good ... -
Large animal models in forensic medicine and pathology: Recent research and its impact on the evolution of veterinary forensic pathology
(2020)Modern forensic research studies using large animal models are presented and classified by subject, into (a) corpse decomposition and post mortem interval; (b) forensic entomology; (c) forensic toxicology; (d) blunt-force ... -
Legionella spp. Colonization in water systems of hotels linked with travel-associated legionnaires’ disease
(2021)Hotel water systems colonized with Legionella spp. have been the source of travel-associated Legionnaires’ disease, and cases, clusters and outbreaks continue to be reported worldwide each year. A total of 132 hotels linked ... -
Magnetic nanoparticles in medical diagnostic applications: Synthesis, characterization and proteins conjugation
(2016)Background: Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) used in biomedical applications should be discrete with small particle sizes, narrow size distribution and superparamagnetic. NPs can be tailored to target, through chemical bonds, ... -
Management of blood pressure and heart rate in chronic kidney disease
(2017)Background: Hypertension is considered a major health problem in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as approximately 80-85% of CKD patients’ suffer from hypertension in the United States. Hypertension is the second ... -
Methods to measure water permeability
(2017)Water permeability is a key feature of the cell plasma membranes and it has seminal importance for a number of cell functions such as cell volume regulation, cell proliferation, cell migration, and angiogenesis to name a ... -
Molecular simulations of fluoxetine in hydrated lipid bilayers, as well as in aqueous solutions containing β-cyclodextrin
(2022)Fluoxetine, which is a well-known antidepressant drug, is studied in hydrated cholesterol-free and cholesterol-containing lipid bilayers through unbiased and biased atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The latter are ... -
Neutron diffraction on purple membranes - Essential water molecules in the light-driven proton pump bacteriorhodopsin
(1997)Neutron diffraction and time-resolved laser-spectroscopic experiments on the light-driven proton-pump bacterio-rhodopsin revealed the location of water molecules and their functional importance. About seven water molecules ... -
Noise spectra of K+ and NH4+ ions at over-limiting current in an electrochemical system with a cation exchange membrane
(2013)The present work investigates the effect of the counter ion nature on the noise of the over-limiting current (Iov). Moreover, the electrochemical methods, current voltage curve (I-V) and the chronopotentiometry (V-t) ... -
Noninvasive histologic grading of solid astrocytomas using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy
(2004)Background: Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) constitutes a promising modality to assess intracranial pathology. We present our experience using this method in grading solid brain astrocytomas. Material and ... -
A novel pattern of leaf movement: The case of Capparis spinosa L.
(2016)A novel type of heliotropic leaf movement is presented for Capparis spinosa L., a summer perennial shrub of Mediterranean and arid ecosystems. In contrast to plants that demonstrate uniform diaheliotropic and/or paraheliotropic ... -
A numerical model for aggregations formation and magnetic driving of spherical particles based on OpenFOAM®
(2017)Background and objective This work presents a numerical model for the formation of particle aggregations under the influence of a permanent constant magnetic field and their driving process under a gradient magnetic field, ... -
Phytochemical composition of the decoctions of Greek edible greens (chórta) and evaluation of antioxidant and cytotoxic properties
(2018)Wild or semi-wild edible greens (chórta) are an integral part of the traditional Greek Mediterranean diet due to their nutritional value, containing various phytonutrients beneficial to human health. Water-based decoctions ... -
