Assessment of Concrete Footpath Upheavals in Heatwaves
(Corresponding) Bradford M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Most concrete footpaths are cast without steel reinforcement and in segments between bituminous joints, with the joints intended to accommodate thermal expansions (and contractions) of the pavement. However, a combination of prolonged heatwave conditions and the ingress over time of material into...Read more
Evapotransiration of crops and mechanical soil composition in Rhodes island
(Corresponding) Symeonidou S., Vagiona D.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the green (from rainfall) and blue (from irrigation) evapotranspiration of the most widespread crops (olives, citrus, soft and hard wheat, watermelons/melons, barley, grapes, vegetables, winter/summer and spring potatoes, fodder crops, rest annual crops) in the...Read more
Brain and heart tumors in Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to mobile phone radio frequencies
(Corresponding) BELPOGGI F., Vornoli A.
Topic:
The non ionizing radiation from wireless technology: a 21 century revolution or a global pollution and health hazard
Final results regarding brain and heart tumors in Sprague-Dawley rats exposed from prenatal life until natural death to mobile phone radiofrequency field representative of a 1.8 GHz GSM base station environmental emission
The Ramazzini Institute (RI) performed a life-span carcinogenic study on...Read more
Screening of polar pesticides in groundwater in Hebei Province, China
Huang Y., (Corresponding) Rao Z., GUO X., YANG Z., LIU C., SHI Z.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
As a big agricultural country，China has a relatively high pesticide usage in unit area , which is three times higher than developed countries. About 80% of pesticides directly enter the soil and the water through leaching or surface runoff during the usage of pesticides. In particular, some of the...Read more

Potential of Using real-time OiW monitoring for control of produced water treatment in offshore oil & gas production
(Corresponding) Zhenyu Y.
Topic:
Water treatment
The produced water has been the largest produced fluid stream at most of the current offshore oil & gas production in North-sea. It is not uncommon that the water cut can reach 90% in many matured production fields. No matter the produced water will be eventually discharged to the ocean, or...Read more

Putting accelerated carbonation of bottom ash into practice: operation of a semi full scale continuously fed rotating drum reactor
Brück F., Schnabel K., (Corresponding) Weigand H.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
Bottom ash is the dominant residue from municipal solid waste or refuse-derived fuel incineration. Disposal costs chiefly depend on the leachability of trace metals and salts. The mobility of these constituents is classically minimized by ageing the material for several months. Ageing involves the...Read more
An integrated methodology to estimate the contribution of environmental factors controlling the spatial variation of total dissolved solids. Application on Jiu River Basin (Romania)
(Corresponding) Morosanu G., Zaharia L., Ioana - Toroimac G.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
The variation of the total dissolved solids (TDS) in river water is highly dependent on the natural and anthropogenic features of the TDS source areas, namely the river basins upstream of the measurement points. Despite the significant theoretical knowledge on the factors governing the TDS...Read more

From system concept to serious game: the SIM4NEXUS approach to policy-relevant nexus research
(Corresponding) Susnik J., Masia S., Khoury M., Vamvakeridou-Lyroudia L., Brouwer F., Riegels N., Domingo X., Lluis E., Evans B., Savic D.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
There is growing interest in using serious games for a wide range of applications, from water resources management, to surgery simulations, to pilot training. At the same time, there is rapidly growing interest in the water-energy-food/land-climate nexus, where interactions in one sector can lead...Read more
A system dynamics model to explore the water-land-energy-food-climate nexus in Latvia
Masia S., (Corresponding) Susnik J., Indriksone D., Bremere I., Vamvakeridou-Lyroudia L., Brouwer F.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Water, energy, food/land use and climate are connected a system defined by complexity, feedback and delay, and are commonly referred to as the nexus which operates across scales. Therefore the characteristics of the nexus change depending on the scale being considered, the location, and the sectors...Read more

A system dynamics model to quantify the impacts of restoration measures on the water-energy-food nexus in the Urmia lake Basin, Iran
Bakhshianlamouki E., Masia S., Karimi P., van der Zaag P., (Corresponding) Susnik J.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Water scarcity exacerbated by growing demand has created environmental, social, and economic challenges in the Urmia Lake Basin (ULB), Iran. Tackling these requires an integrated approach. A System Dynamics Model is developed simulating the water-energy-food nexus in the ULB as a holistic multi-...Read more
