Analysis of fault rupture propagation through uniform soil cover
(2009)This paper presents results from numerical simulations of the propagation of an active dip-slip fault rupture through a uniform soil layer covering the rigid bedrock. Following verification of the numerical methodology ... -
Carburization of high-temperature steels: A simulation-based ranking of carburization resistance
(2015)Carburization is a failure mechanism affecting equipment, such as furnace tubes, operating at high temperatures. Carburization simulations were carried out for the heat-resistant steels referred to the API-530 standard by ... -
Damage-associated molecular patterns derived from mitochondria may contribute to the hemodialysis-associated inflammation
(2014)Inflammation is common in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are released during cell necrosis or apoptosis and induce inflammation. Cell apoptosis is increased in HD ... -
The effect of foreign ownership on SMEs performance: An efficiency analysis perspective
(2010)This paper uses both Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Free Disposal Hull (FDH) models in order to determine different performance levels in a sample of 353 foreign equities operating in the Greek manufacturing sector. ... -
Effects of L-Carnitine on Oxidative Stress Responses in Patients with Renal Disease
(2010)FATOUROS, I. G., I. DOUROUDOS, S. PANAGOUTSOS, P. PASADAKIS, M. G. NIKOLAIDIS, A. CHATZINIKOLAOU, A. SOVATZIDIS, Y. MICHAILIDIS, A. Z. JAMURTAS, D. MANDALIDIS, K. TAXILDARIS, and V. VARGEMEZIS. Effects of L-Carnitine on ... -
The effects of the periodical use of in-feed chlortetracycline on the reproductive performance of gilts and sows of a commercial pig farm with a history of clinical and subclinical viral and bacterial infections
(2003)The objective of this study was to assess the effects of in-feed chlortetracycline (CTC) as a measure of preventing or minimizing infectious problems of reproductive failure in gilts and sows. In a farm of 400 Large White ... -
Evaluation of Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin, Interleukin-18, and Cystatin C as Molecular Markers Before and After Unilateral Shock Wave Lithotripsy
(2014)OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) on renal tissues using neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), cystatin C, and interleukin 18 (IL-18) levels in serum and urine and to examine ... -
Experimental Cardiac Hypertrophy Induced by Oral Administration of Mineralocorticoid and Saline in Rats
(2012)We suggest a new, easily applicable way of myocardial hypertrophy induction in rats. Forty randomized age-matched male Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups of 20 each: a control group and an orally administered ... -
Hemodialysis procedure does not affect the levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 in patients with end stage renal disease
(2005)Atherosclerosis is by far the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with end stage renal disease undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD). Vascular endothelial cell adhesion molecules like the intercellular ... -
Imaging modalities for renal artery stenosis in suspected renovascular hypertension: Prospective intraindividual comparison of color Doppler US, CT angiography, GD-enhanced MR angiography, and digital substraction angiography
(2007)The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Color Doppler US, CT Angiography (CTA), and GD-enhanced MR Angiography (MRA) compared with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for the detection of renal ... -
Low-Cycle Fatigue of Pressurized Steel Elbows Under In-Plane Bending
(2015)The present study examines the mechanical behavior of steel process piping elbows, subjected to strong cyclic loading conditions. The work is numerical, supported by experimental data on elbow specimens subjected to in-plane ... -
Ovarian function is preserved in women with severe systemic lupus erythematosus after a 6-month course of cyclophosphamide followed by mycophenolate mofetil
(2010)Objective. To evaluate whether a short duration treatment with cyclophosphamide (CYC) followed by mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is associated with preservation of the ovarian function in,female patients with systemic lupus ... -
Pathological Evaluation of Reproductive System of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus-Vaccinated and Nonvaccinated Anestrus Sows and Gilts
(2015)The purpose of the study was to evaluate pathologically the reproductive system of nonvaccinated and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)-vaccinated sows/gilts, as well as the assessment of vaccination ... -
Phlebosclerosis in lower extremities veins
(2014)Objectives: To determine the prevalence, distribution and extent of phlebosclerosis in an outpatient population referred to vascular clinic. Design: Prospective cohort study. Patients and Methods: Seven hundred and forty ... -
Primary Biliary Cirrhosis-Specific Antimitochondrial Antibodies in Neonatal Haemochromatosis
(2013)Background and Aim. Neonatal hemochromatosis (NH) is characterised by severe liver injury and extrahepatic siderosis sparing the reticuloendothelial system. Its aetiology is obscure, although it has been proposed as an ... -
Propyl gallate-induced platelet aggregation in patients with end-stage renal disease: The influence of the haemodialysis procedure
