Comparison the effectiveness of three outranking multicriteria methods as analytical tools for the efficiency assessment of biorefineries/ waste-to-energy technologies
Isigonis P., (Corresponding) Vakalis S.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Circular Economy is at the heart of the EU Green Deal, Europe’s new agenda for sustainable growth. Waste Management has been firmly focusing on material and energy recovery, through the development of policy schemes and the utilization of resource recovery facilities. Waste-to-energy technologies...Read more
Modelling the hydrothermal carbonization of cheese whey wastewater in Lesvos island: an application of the 3-step evolution model
Chatzimaliakas P., (Corresponding) Vakalis S.
Topic:
Biowaste
Lesvos island has an extensive dairy production sector, and -at present- eighteen dairy processing facilities are operating. Efficient management of the liquid biowaste effluents has been an issue of interest since the scope is the minimization of the environmental impact. The operating dairy...Read more

Development of a tool for calculating ship air emissions
(Corresponding) Ventikos N., Kalogeropoulos I., Louzis K., (Corresponding) Stamatopoulou E.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
This paper describes the development of a ship air emissions calculator, which will be part of the ECOMARPOL platform of the Intelligent Research Infrastructure for Shipping, Supply Chain, Transport and Logistics (EN.I.R.I.S.S.T.). The tool developed with the Python programming language and is...Read more

Nonlinear Autoregressive Neural Networks for Air Temperature forecasting
Philippopoulos K., (Corresponding) Tzanis C., Deligiorgi D., Alimissis A.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
In the field of climatic conditions forecasting, the linear classical time series models are inadequate for modelling and predicting accurately the air temperature variability. This work presents the novel application of nonlinear autoregressive neural networks (NAR) in air temperature forecasting...Read more
Climatology of the impact of atmospheric circulation on surface meteorological conditions over Greece
(Corresponding) Philippopoulos K., Tzanis C., Deligiorgi D., Alimissis A.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Large-scale atmospheric circulation is a critical factor that controls the surface climatic conditions of a specific region. The scope of this work is to examine this relationship for different climatic regions over Greece and provide a detailed descriptive statistical analysis for multiple...Read more
Effect of water extractable organic matter from Pamvotis lake sediment on three psychoactive drugs under simulated solar light
JİMÉNEZ-HOLGADO C., (Corresponding) SAKKAS V., RICHARD C.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Psychoactive drugs are classified as contaminants of emerging concern but there is limited information on their fate in surface waters. Here, we studied the fate of three drugs (sertraline, clozapine and citalopram) upon irradiation in the presence of the Pamvotis lake organic matter (WEOM)...Read more

Detection of disturbances of thyme habitats on Lemnos island with Landsat time series analysis
(Corresponding) Vasios G., Kaloveloni A., Alexoudaki E., Kakaroglou I., Troumbis A.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
Landsat time series data, freely available in recent years, are commonly used for land cover change detection and monitoring ecosystem disturbances. The thyme habitats are areas under protection because of their high ecological value. However, human activity that leads to competition in land use,...Read more
Heritage Areas are areas of great natural, geological, aesthetic and cultural value. They have an important history and keep the traditions alive. Geological and natural processes from the early past to the present have evolved and contributed to the creation of Heritage Areas, so today we...Read more

A Decision Support Matrix for Water Quality Based Stormwater Management
(Corresponding) Suits K., Annus I., Kändler N., Vassiljev A.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Extreme weather events and climate change are stressing urban stormwater systems beyond their capacity, posing potential threat to both the built and natural environments. This paper aims to contribute to risk mitigation through evaluating the feasibility of using a decision support matrix for...Read more

The complex of natural enemies of invasive species Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) on greenhouse-grown tomato crops conditions from southern Romania
(Corresponding) IAMANDEI M., ROSCA I., Radulea M., CHIRILOAIE-PALADE A.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
An obvious consequence of climate change is represented by the rapid spread and establishment of the invasive alien pest worldwide. Soon after its introduction in Romania, the tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta is considered the greatest threat to protected tomato crops in the area from south of the...Read more
