Analysis of seawater microbiological quality data in Greece from 1997 to 2006: association of risk factors with bacterial indicators
(2009)This study deals with the examination of quality of seawater bathing areas in Greece over a 10-year period and identifies risk factors for high bacteria indicator organism concentrations. Qualitative descriptive analysis ... -
Animal models in peritoneal dialysis
(2015)Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been extensively used over the past years as a method of kidney replacement therapy for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). In an attempt to better understand the properties of the ... -
Bather density as a predominant factor for health effects related to recreational bathing: Results from the Greek bathers cohort study
(2011)Our aim was to examine the health effects on bathers from exposure to recreational seawater on three beaches with different microbiology quality and bather density through a cohort study. An initial questionnaire and a 10 ... -
Changes in heart rate variability during the induction and decay of heat acclimation
(2014)We evaluated the changes in core temperature, heart rate, and heart rate variability (HRV) during the induction and decay of heat acclimation. Ten males (23 +/- A 3 years; 79.5 +/- A 3.5 kg; 15.2 +/- A 4.5 percent body ... -
Corrosion-induced hydrogen embrittlement in aluminum alloy 2024
(2006)The present paper focuses on the observed corrosion-induced embrittlement of alloy 2024 and tries to answer the key question on whether the observed embrittlement is attributed to hydrogen uptake and trapping in the material. ... -
Effect of porcine and ovine FSH on nuclear maturation of pig oocytes in vitro
(2008)The effect of porcine or ovine FSH on the maturation rate of porcine oocytes and on the time course of meiotic progression was studied. Groups of 20 grade-A cumulus oocyte complexes, aspirated from slaughterhouse cycling-gilt ... -
Elevated Bathing-Associated Disease Risks Despite Certified Water Quality: A Cohort Study
(2012)Bacteriological water quality criteria have been recommended to ensure bathers' health. However, this risk-assessment approach is based mainly on routine measurements of fecal pollution indicator bacteria in seawater, and ... -
Evaluation of solid sorbents for the determination of fenhexamid, metalaxyl-M, pyrimethanil, malathion and myclobutanil residues in air samples - Application to monitoring malathion and fenhexamid dissipation in greenhouse air using C-18 or Supelpak-2 for sampling
(2006)A methodology is described for greenhouse air analysis by sampling fenhexamid, pyrimethanil, malathion, metalaxyl-M and myclobutanil in solid sorbents. Pesticides were determined by gas chromatography with NP Detector. The ... -
