Sustainable musselculture activity in terms of hydrodynamics. The case study of Chalastra basin (NW Gulf of Thessaloniki)
(Corresponding) Savvidis Y., Galinou-Mitsoudi S.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Based on the framework strategic guidelines for marine aquacultures, the musselculture section has to be operated in Areas of Organized Aquaculture Development (AOAD). Chalastra (NW Thessaloniki’s Gulf, Thermaikos) produces the 40% of the national musselculture production using pole and longline...Read more
Impact of traffic management strategies on air quality and health in a Portuguese urban area
(Corresponding) Silveira C., Ferreira J., Lopes D., Miranda A.
Topic:
Air pollution
This paper aims to assess the air quality improvement and resulting health implications in a Portuguese urban area, by testing traffic management scenarios focused on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emission reduction. To that end, an integrated multiscale modelling system was developed and applied for a...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
Water Availability: A factor of sustainability and adaptation of agriculture to climate change
Papadopoulou M., (Corresponding) Charchousi D.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
Climate change is expected to negatively affect agriculture. The effects of climate change on agricultural production are widely studied and adaptation strategies have already been proposed and even applied and assessed in many cases. A key component on agriculture vulnerability to climate change...Read more

Quality improvement of collected rain waters by elimination of micropollutants, to sea site settlements with the use and new technologies, as suitable vegetation.
(Corresponding) Kollias P., Kollias V., Kollias S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The continuous increase of water necessities to sea site settlements, created the problem to pursues the collection of rain waters in order to use them, after their treatment to succeed the necessary quality improvement. To realize that we need at first to mark the invented water sources to the...Read more
OMCEC: A Novel Method for Simultaneous Detection of Composition, Geometry and Motion of Suspended Particles
(Corresponding) Nguyen T., Tang F., Maggi F.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Here, we introduce OMCEC, a laboratory-based system that simultaneously measures the material composition, geometric properties, and motion of individual suspended aggregates in a non-invasive and non-destructive way. OMCEC consists of a full-color high-resolution optical system and real-time...Read more

Plastics in WEEE screens: difficulties and opportunities to improve the recycling rate
(Corresponding) Arduin R., Grimaud G., Charbuillet C., Laratte B., Perry N.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Nowadays the screens collected by the official e-waste schemes in France are mostly comprised of Cathode Ray Tube (CRT). Nevertheless, Flat Panel Display (FPD) collection should increase in the following years. Among other differences in material compositions, FPD screens have higher plastic...Read more
