Statistical prediction models for the odour emissions quantification in terms of odour concentration: Analysis and comparison
(Corresponding) Galang M., Ballesteros Jr. F., Zarra T., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Measuring odour concentration is a significant step to achieve efficient environmental odour management in continuous, objective and repeatable manner. To deal with this, researchers developed instrumental odour monitoring systems (IOMS) by applying odour monitoring models (OMM) for prediction. At...Read more
Market and Trade Network Analysis of EU Emission Trading System
Fotakis D., (Corresponding) Dimos S., Evangelatou E., Mantis A., Mathioudaki A.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
The European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS) is the world’s largest cap-and-trade system. The observed price instabilities and the oversupply of the allowances are two characteristics that affect the objectives and the efficiency of the policy.
In this article we investigate the impact of...Read more
Green Jobs in multinational companies - an initial network and content analysis
(Corresponding) Piwowar-Sulej K., Ferasso M., Sulich A.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
Several current research studies on green jobs focus mostly on rural areas and analyze this problem in the context of Circular Economy or specific industries. However, the context of multinational companies is still uncovered. This study aims at mapping the field by relating the Green Jobs in...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

Artificial Neural Network (ANNs) for predicting petroleum hydrocarbons from heavy metals contaminated soils around fuel stations
(Corresponding) Bonelli M., Manni A., Saviano G.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Petrol stations are classified as a dangerous source of pollution for the human population due to the toxicity of emissions from evaporated vehicle fuels and fuel spillages. The contaminants released in the environment are mainly complex mixtures of petroleum hydrocarbon compounds (PHCs) and heavy...Read more

Modelling the operation of a Water Treatment Plant based on Artificial Neural Networks
(Corresponding) GYPARAKIS S., TRICHAKIS I., VAROUCHAKIS E., DIAMADOPOULOS E.
Topic:
Water treatment
The main purpose of this study is to model the operation of a Drinking Water Treatment Plant (DWTP) using its main operational and water quality parameters in a fast, easy and reliable way. This study is based on a large number of data from recent years (2019-2021). The DWTP has a maximum capacity...Read more
Comparison of regression model and artificial neural network model in noise prediction in a mixed area of Dhaka City
(Corresponding) Chowdhury V., Zarif S., Tofa T., Laskar M.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The equivalent noise levels regularly exceed acceptable limits within Dhaka city, the capital of Bangladesh, especially in the mixed urban areas (where trips are generated to serve commercial, residential, and industrial demands). The study aims to assess the noise level in mixed urban areas, build...Read more
Understanding the EU ETS Market Structure Using Transactions of Core Participants
(Corresponding) Dimos S., Evangelatou E., Fotakis D., Mantis A., Mathioudaki A.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS) is a key instrument of EU’s climate policy and the largest international cap-and-trade system. Every allowance transaction is recorded in an electronic registry, called European Union Transaction Log (EUTL). Utilizing the vast amount of EUTL data, we...Read more
A smart integrated platform for leakage detection on water supply network in Aigio town
(Corresponding) Chasiotis A., Piromalis D., Chasiotis S., Feloni E., Papageorgas P., Bousdeki M., Sofianopoulos M., Nikolopoulos D., Kouniniotis D., Mathiou P., Nastos P.
Topic:
Drinking water and health
Non-revenue water (NRW) is the volume of water participating in urban water supply processes, which does not generate revenues for the water utility company and it is divided into the water losses and the unbilled consumption. In the era of sustainable water resources management, the reduction of...Read more

Strategies for the implementation of the sustainable development in protected areas: the case study of the Regional Park of Monti Lattari (Italy)
(Corresponding) D'Elia L., Cicalese F., Grimaldi M., Fasolino I., Troisi E., Dello Ioio T., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Biodiversity conservation
Protected areas today cover about 17% of the territory. They aim to preserving environmental quality, ecosystem balance and biodiversity. Although in Italy protected areas are around 10%, in Campania it’s very high and is about 25%. In the last 10 years the number of protected sites has increased...Read more
