Optimal Productive Structure for Sustainable Development: Environmental Extended Input-Ouput Analysis
(Corresponding) Markaki M., Papadakis S.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
The research aims to apply an integrated methodology for optimizing the productive structure of an economy with a view to sustainable development for the Greek economy. The main purpose of the research project is to constitute at the theoretical and applied level a model of synthesis of all...Read more
Influence of common solar and climate cycles on groundwater level variations
(Corresponding) Chapanov Y., Bournaski E.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
The groundwater is one of the most important natural resources. It provides drinking water and water for businesses. The level of groundwater varies in time. It has significantly seasonal oscillations and long-term variations, induced by rainfalls and climatic droughts. The seasonal, interannual...Read more

Variations of mean daily discharge of Danube river at 16 stations
(Corresponding) Chapanov Y., Bournaski E.
Topic:
River systems in diverse climates and environments
The river discharge is the main source of freshwater for large surface areas. Its deep minima are connected with drought events, while its maxima – with floods. The time series of river discharge consist of significant seasonal variations, modulated by long-term oscillations. The seasonal,...Read more

Urban water bodies and recreational opportunities in Finland
(Corresponding) Alikhani S., Nummi P., Ojala A.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
Urban water bodies provide recreational opportunities to residents such as swimming, boating, fishing and spending leisure time. The recreational opportunities offered by water bodies contributes to both physical and mental health. In Finland, there are almost unlimited possibilities to enjoy water...Read more

Circular Economy and Green Economy: a network analysis
(Corresponding) Sulich A., (Corresponding) Ferasso M., (Corresponding) Sołoducho-Pelc L.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Circular Economy and Green Economy are very popular concepts in modern scientific business management literature. Several papers already addressed both concepts as synonymous while others distinguish them differently. Based on this conceptual gap, this paper aims to shed a light on these topics by...Read more

Trifluralin-polluted soil treatment using nanosecond pulsed DBD plasma
Hatzisymeon M., Tataraki D., Rassias G., (Corresponding) Aggelopoulos C.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) was examined as an advanced oxidation process (AOP) for the remediation of trifluralin in soil. Trifluralin is a commonly used herbicide, which is toxic and persistent in soil. CAP experiments were conducted using a cylinder-to-cylindrical-grid reactor layout, driven...Read more

Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
Biodegradability is a growing interest in the field of research in Bioplastics. To what extent are we fully aware of the benign impact Bioplastic has on the environment, especially in water?
Wastewater treatment plants are the primary source of microplastic release in the hydrographical...Read more
Novel hybrid technology for the sustainable development of the circular economy in urban agriculture
(Corresponding) Giaquinto D., Senatore V., Oliva G., Nesticò A., Hasan S., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Climate change and environmental pollution are just some of the main challenges to be addressed. A number of actions have been taken, in particular the circular economy has proved to be among the most effective in overcoming the traditional approach of the linear economy. Circular economy means not...Read more
Technological solutions for giving a new life to power plants of alternative energy: social, economic, and environmental assessment of end of life scenarios
(Corresponding) Ambrosino C., Giaquinto D., Maselli G., Nesticò A., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The resources on the planet are not unlimited and special attention has been paid to alternative energies in recent years.
Alternative (or renewable) energy are all those energy sources that do not come from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). To date, wind and solar energy are the main...Read more
