The role of hydro-technical works in diminishing flooded areas. Case study: the June 1985 flood on the Miletin River
(Corresponding) Hutanu E., Urzica A., Paveluc L., Stoleriu C., Grozavu A.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
Hydro-technical constructions are very important in diminishing flooded areas and associated damage in the event of a flood. The case study for the Miletin River in the Moldavian Plateau (Eastern Romania) focusses on the historical floods of June 1985. The floods recorded at the Miletin River...Read more

Pretreatment of antibiotics-contaminated waste biological sludge by ozonation
Boševski I., (Corresponding) Kalčikova G., Derco J., Žgajnar Gotvajn A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Ozonation was studied as a pretreatment method for a waste biological sludge, contaminated with large amounts of globally used antibiotics; tiamulin, levofloxacin and amoxicillin. At the concentrations of over 100 mg L-1, these antibiotics were found to inhibit biogas production (up to 50%), which...Read more

Topic:
Drinking water safety
The purposes of this study were to investigate the presence and potential health risks of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in drinking water. An extended literature review was initially conducted to collect monitoring data of PFCs in drinking water, worldwide. In order to assess the potential risk...Read more

The role of sustainability rating systems in delivering infrastructure and building engineering’s contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation
(Corresponding) Venables R.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Although overall drivers for climate change mitigation and adaptation are clear, it is often difficult for professionals working on infrastructure and buildings to assess what relevant action they should be taking in their designs and construction. In parallel, scientists working on construction or...Read more
The need for setting optimal geographical and temporal boundaries for infrastructure project design and EIA, and how science and technology can help
Venables R.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
All infrastructure projects generate significant effects on the environment and their surrounding communities, but to varying degrees depending on their nature, scale and context. The environmental Impact assessment process, despite its title, attempts to assess the social effects of projects...Read more
Trends in hydrologic prediction for the design of hydraulic projects
(Corresponding) Daniil E., Michas S.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Estimation and prediction of runoff and related design discharges under past and future conditions are key elements for the design of flood defense, watercourse demarcation, urban stormwater, road drainage systems. Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation, Greece, is in the process of...Read more
Dam break analysis using Hec-Ras techniques. Case study: Cal Alb dam (NE Romania)
Urzica A., (Corresponding) Hutanu E., Muhu-Pintilie A., Stoleriu C.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
Along with the understanding of the importance of a water resource in the vicinity of a human settlement, human societies have begun to build weirs, dams or hydraulic structures to use more efficiently the natural resource. One of the most important works that can be done in the course of a river...Read more
Printing ink wastewater treatment using electrocoagulation in lab- and pilot-scale
Papadopoulos K., Argyriou R., Economou C., Tatoulis T., Tekerlekopoulou A., (Corresponding) Vayenas D.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Packaging paper wastewaters, stemming mainly from the dyeing sector of the production process (where printing inks are utilized), are characterized by high concentrations of organic matter, intense color and almost zero biodegradability factor. These physicochemical characteristics, in combination...Read more
Keywords:
printing ink wastewater; electrocoagulation; chemical oxygen demand; color
Biotreatment of Brewery Wastewater Using the Filamentous Cyanobacterium Leptolyngbya sp.
Papadopoulos K., Economou C., Moustaka-Gouni M., Tekerlekopoulou A., Aggelis G., (Corresponding) Vayenas D.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Brewery wastewater is generated from the beer brewing process in large amounts (4-8 m3 per m3 of beer produced). Brewery wastewater consists of high organic matter content, significant nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and easily biodegraded compounds. Even though most biological treatment...Read more

Topic:
Environmental exposures and human health
Background: Studies relating air pollution exposures and health in children tend to show inconsistent associations. The most of the studies rely on the front-door air pollution estimates to represent individual exposure; however, there is evidence that residential address exposures tend to...Read more
