An analysis of THETIS-MRV data on CO2 emissions by Ro-Pax ships

(Corresponding) Kotrikla A., Zouloumis I.
Topic: 
Environmental impact of maritime transport
Maritime transport is responsible for about 2.5% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These emissions are expected to increase significantly if mitigation measures are not taken. In 2013, European Commission set out a strategy towards reducing GHG emissions from the shipping industry. In this...Read more

Rapid bacteria detection in drinking water samples with on-chip Mach-Zehnder Interferometers

(Corresponding) Angelopoulou M., Petrou P., Misiakos K., Raptis I., Kakabakos S.
Topic: 
Drinking water safety
Drinking water contamination by pathogenic bacteria poses a great danger for public health, since according to WHO 5 million deaths are associated to water related diseases annually. To safeguard drinking water quality, several techniques for bacteria detection, such as culturing and plating, ELISA...Read more

Treatment and Reuse of Industrial Wastewater Using Reverse Osmosis System

(Corresponding) Ahmadzadeh-Kaleybar F., Emamifar M., Bagheri M.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
From a few years ago, using reverse osmosis in water refinery and desalination, in order to provide clean water for necessary requirements has been considered as a common method. In the current study, the reverse osmosis, in the water refinery process of Miyaneh steel factory (northwest of Iran)...Read more

Simulation of Consumption Water Scarcity Effect in Agriculture

(Corresponding) Ahmadzadeh_Kaleybar F., Aliabadi E.
Topic: 
Hydrology and water resources
Models are the best methods to select most efficient irrigation method that would lead to high performance and yield response. In this research, the effect of Consumption Water Scarcity in Bilasuvar plain on the north-west of Iran has been simulated on Wheat and Corn crops using Budget soil and...Read more

Determining the Participation of Sub-Basins in Peak Discharge and Runoff Volume with HEC-GeoHMS Model

(Corresponding) Ahmadzadeh-Kaleybar F., Naeimi Hoshmand F.
Topic: 
Hydrology and water resources
One of the most important measures in flood management projects is to investigate the participation of different sub-basins of a watershed in determining the various components of flood discharge from the basin. Due to the lack of hydrometric stations at the outlet of all sub-basins, achieving this...Read more

Catalytic reduction of Cr(VI) using recovered Silicon from end-of-life photovoltaic panels as a catalyst

Pavlopoulos C., Kyriakopoulou V., (Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Lyberatos G.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
As installed photovoltaic panels (PVP) approach their end of life, the need for a sustainable recovery plan becomes imperative. This work aims to reuse Silicon from End-of-Life PVP as a potential catalyst/photocatalyst for wastewater treatment. PVPs were pretreated thermally (550°C for 30 min). The...Read more
