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
Interannual large-scale variability in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and interactions with the Aegean Sea
(Corresponding) Velaoras D.
Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
The Mediterranean Sea and its eastern sub-basin are marginal oceanic basins subjected to strong anthropogenic and natural pressures. During the last decades new findings have revised the way of assessing the circulation and physical functioning of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Natural oscillations...Read more
SIMULATION AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF OWC DEVICE OPERATING IN COASTAL REGIONS
(Corresponding) Belibassakis K., Magkouris A., Rusu E.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Wave energy converters are constantly being deployed in nearshore and coastal areas characterized by increased wave potential. The performance of the devices
installed in the nearshore and coastal environment, where the sea bottom terrain may present significant variations, can be evaluated by...Read more
