Analysis of the Sars-COVID 19 trend: from time series to visibility graphs
(Corresponding) Simone A., Cesaro A., Esposito G.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Sars COVID-19 epidemic continues to represent a relevant and current topic, which is of concern mainly with respect to possible variants. Predictive monitoring can address the need to reduce the risk of spreading the virus, but it needs to rely on non-invasive, as well as effective and inexpensive...Read more

Improving the homogeneity of a sewage sludge-based phosphorus fertilizer by Monte Carlo simulation of the production chain
Vogt S., (Corresponding) Brueck F., Schnabel K., Weigand H.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Sewage sludge mono-incineration with subsequent phosphorus (P) recovery from the ash is becoming increasingly important in many European countries. Plant operators are facing the challenge to produce a homogeneous P output which needs to conform to fertilizer standards (including trace elements...Read more
Mapping of available biological feedstock streams: The case of agro-industrial waste and by-products in the Region of Central Macedonia - Greece
(Corresponding) Patsios S., Batsioula M., Skoutida S., Geroliolios D., Melas L., Karkanias C., Karanasiou A., Saliakellis P., Malamakis A., Banias G.
Topic:
Sustainable production and management of biomass
The European Union’s Bioeconomy Strategy aims to the transition to a circular, sustainable bio-based economy. It should be highlighted that bio-based production systems face significant challenges concerning the sustainable availability of the biological materials that are used as feedstocks for...Read more

Assessment of sustainability of extensive livestock farming in Central Greece (Evrytania prefecture) using S.W.O.T Analysis
(Corresponding) Bakogiorgos G., Lappa V., (Corresponding) Tasios A., Papadopoulos A., Pantera A.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Animal husbandry, both in Greece and worldwide, is under constant threat, being at the center of multiple crises: wars, droughts, pandemics, successive economic crises. The increase in the prices of livestock inputs, especially after 2020, has tested and highlighted the strengths of the various...Read more
Optimization of wastewater treatment by integration of artificial intelligence techniques: recent progress and future perspectives
(Corresponding) Cairone S., Hasan S., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Artificial intelligence (AI) is proving useful in optimizing the process efficiency in many sectors, including wastewater treatment. The complexity of wastewater characteristics and treatment technologies leads to uncertainties and variability in the efficiency of the processes in wastewater...Read more

Revealing the Hidden Toxin of the Bottom Ashes from Open Municipal Waste Burning
(Corresponding) Ramadan B., Rosmalina R., (Corresponding) Rachman I., (Corresponding) Matsumoto T.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
Bottom ashes caused by open waste burning (OWB) contains a large amount of metal, which can harm human health when exposed directly to human or leached into the waterways. This study aims to reveal the metal in the bottom ashes and its potential health impact. Laboratory field studies which consist...Read more

Unveiling the transformation of dissolved organic matter in drinking water treatments based on FT-ICR-MS and spectral analysis
Yueting W., (Corresponding) Hang X., Tianpei M.
Topic:
Water treatment
The use of fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FT-ICR MS) and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) systematically provide more comprehensive information on the changes in dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition and characteristic in water treatments. Therefore,...Read more
