Daily wind gusts in relation to mean daily wind speed and atmospheric circulation

(Corresponding) DELIGIORGI D., PHILIPPOPOULOS K., GRANAKIS K.
Topic: 
Atmospheric chemistry and physics
An important aspect in the design of wind farms and consequently in wind power production, is the sensitivity of wind turbines to wind gusts. This study aims at estimating the probability of occurrence of daily wind gusts for different atmospheric circulation regimes. The analysis is performed for...Read more

PHOTOSYNTHETIC RESPONSE OF SPRING OILSEED RAPE TO HEAT, DROUGHT, NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY AND COMBINED STRESS

(Corresponding) Dikšaitytė A., Viršilė A., Januškaitienė I., Žaltauskaitė J.
Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
This study was aimed to determine the photosynthetic response of spring oilseed rape to heatwave (HW), drought, nutrient deficiency (N-D) and combined stress. HW and drought acted in a different manner. Under both adequate and deprived soil nutrient conditions, in the presence of adequate water...Read more

Reducing the environmental impact of construction wastes by their use in the preparation of construction mixtures

(Corresponding) Junak J., Sicakova A.
Topic: 
Hazardous waste management
At present, great emphasis is placed on protecting the environment. Civil engineering, mainly cement production, greatly pollutes the surrounding environment. Even the excavation of aggregate, which is one of the basic components of concrete, does not make any extra contribution to the...Read more

A DPSIR approach to selected Cr(VI) impacted groundwater bodies within Attica and Eastern Sterea Ellada River Basin Districts

(Corresponding) Pyrgaki K., Argyraki A., Kelepertzis E., Botsou F., Megremi I., Karavoltsos S., Mpouras A., Dassenakis M., Hatzaki M., Dermatas D.
Topic: 
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
The holistic approach of the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) analytical framework in combination with Geographical Information Systems was applied to selected Cr(VI) impacted groundwater bodies. For the characterization of “state”, 157 samples including field blanks were collected...Read more

Bioleaching for metal recovery from telecoms switchboard

Baniasadi M., (Corresponding) Farnaud S., Graves J., Renshaw D., Moris S.
Topic: 
Electric and electronic waste
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are a necessity for electronic equipment to function especially in the telecommunications industry. From a PCB for broadcasting networks to PCBs for office communications they are what makes electronic communications equipment operate. The sophistication possible with...Read more

Isolation and optimization of microbial consortia for the biodegradation of two persistent fluorinated fungicides

Alexandrino D., Mucha A., Almeida C., (Corresponding) Carvalho M.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Microbial consortia capable of completely removing and defluorinating two persistent fluorinated fungicides, epoxiconazole (EPO) and fludioxonil (FLU), were enriched from an estuarine sediment and an agriculture soil. The enrichments were conducted along 6 months, during which the fungicides were...Read more
