Advanced Screening Methodologies for the Comprehensive Monitoring of Intentionally & Non-Intentionally Added Substances in Next Generation Food Contact Materials
(Corresponding) Kanakaki C., Mermingi E., Nikolaos T.
Topic:
Bioplastics
The increasing importance of sustainability promotes the development of food contact materials (FCMs) that are safe for the consumers and environmentally friendly. The progressive replacement of ‘‘conventional’’ plastic materials with recycled plastics as well as bio-based and biodegradable...Read more
Zinc and Nickel Accumulation in Unicellular Photosynthetic Algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Grown in Metal-contaminated Media
Zkeri E., Mavrakis E., Pergantis S., (Corresponding) Lydakis-Simantiris N.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
In this study, Zn and Ni accumulation in unicellular freshwater migroalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was investigated. C. reinhardtii cells were grown in media polluted with several concentrations of either Zn or Ni. Tolerance of this organism to Zn and Ni pollution was examined and the growth...Read more

Selenate uptake by Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Algal Cells, its Transformation and its Effect on Membrane Lipid Profiles
Zkeri E., Mavrakis E., Panagou G., Grafanaki S., (Corresponding) Pergantis S., Lydakis-Simantiris N.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
While selenium (Se) has been demonstrated to be essential for the optimal growth of freshwater microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [1], exposure to elevated concentrations of selenite (Se[IV]) or selenate (Se[VI]), the two major aqueous forms of Se, induce cell toxicity[2]. In this study,...Read more

An Advanced Boussinesq-Type Model for Wave Propagation in Coastal and Harbour Areas
(Corresponding) Metallinos A., Chondros M., Papadimitriou A.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
In this paper, an advanced numerical model for the simulation of wave propagation and transformation in coastal areas and inside ports is presented. This model is a fully dispersive and highly nonlinear 2DH Boussinesq-type model, extended to cover real-life applications, capable of simulating the...Read more
Holocene record of palaeoclimatic impact in Epanomi coastal lagoon basin, Thermaikos Gulf, North Greece
(Corresponding) Chantzi P., Papadimitriou E., Aidona E., Kantiranis N., Doani S., Vouvalidis K., Almpanakis K.
Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
Sediment cores of 4m were sampled in Epanoni coastal lagoon basin in Eastern Thermaikos Gulf. Within this study, we present results of Magnetic Susceptibility (MS) measurements and sedimentological analysis (XRD and grain-size distribution) for the first meter EP1-1 aiming to contribute to the...Read more
The biological growth parameters of Fusarium proliferatum fungus
(Corresponding) ZAHARIA R., PETRISOR C., AMUZA A., GHEORGHE A., FATU V., CRISTEA S., LEVEANU I., STEFAN S.
Topic:
New solutions for a better and sustainable agriculture
Due to the rapid growth of global populations, ensuring sufficient agricultural inputs with has become a new challenge for the scientific community. Moulds contamination of grains represents a major cause of food spoilage, according to statistics over 20% of global cereals production being...Read more
Monitoring of the leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus and symptoms associated with yellows diseases in vineyards in the Viticulture Region of Moldova, Romania
(Corresponding) Chireceanu C., Mihu G., Teodoru A., Puscalau M.
Topic:
New solutions for a better and sustainable agriculture
Monitoring action is a key component of integrated pest management programs that aims to obtain valuable early data regarding the pests and their crop damages. By this, it is possible to select and apply the most appropriate strategies for pest control before reaching to economical threshold. The...Read more
Application of two different strategies for the simultaneous disinfection and decontamination of urban wastewater using solar photo-Fenton and solar/H2O2 processes
Maniakova G., Salmeron I., Polo-López M., Oller I., (Corresponding) Rizzo L., (Corresponding) Malato S.
Topic:
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
Simultaneous removal of contaminants of emerging concern and bacteria inactivation in simulated urban wastewater treatment plant effluent (SUWWE) through solar Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) namely solar photo-Fenton (SPF) with Ethylenediamine-N,N′-disuccinic acid (EDDS) (H2O2=50 mg/L, Fe(...Read more

Modelling the Evaporation Flux from Shallow Sandy Aquifers
(Corresponding) Al-Suwaiyan M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
A mathematical model based on Richard’s equation and the soil hydraulic properties was developed in order to understand the influence of the soil depth to the water table on the maximum potential evaporative flux through the unsaturated zone. The model was applied on shallow aquifers using...Read more
Regeneration of dissolved Fe(II) from Fenton sludge at a microbial fuel cell using a novel biocathode
(Corresponding) Wang G., Tang K., Jiang Y., Andersen H., Zhang Y.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Fenton reactions are widely applied for degrading recalcitrant pollutants, but the resulting ferric sludge remains a challenge. A novel concept for regenerating Fe(II) solution at pH 6 from ferric sludge generated in neutral Fenton is proposed. A microbial fuel cell (MFC) with biocathode and...Read more
