The school buildings in and around the city of Patras in the prefecture of Achaia, Greece, are classified on the basis of the prevailing environmental conditions and the existing human activities in the surrounding area. School buildings in urban and rural environment are investigated. The type and...

Noise pollution higher than the standard values intensifies the patients' disease and also has negative effects on hospital staff. This study aimed to determine the level of noise pollution in the Kermanshah hospitals and also to compare obtained data with national and international standards...

The aim of this study is to achieve a greater insight regarding quiet areas in agglomerations and contribute to their identification. The small urban setting of Mytilene located in the island of Lesvos (North Aegean, Greece), was the case study of this research. Based on citizen contribution, a...

The structure of the wind turbines nowadays is a critical element due to their importance from the reliability, availability, safety, and cost points of view. This is more relevant when the offshore wind turbine is considered. This paper introduces a novel design of a Fault Detection and Diagnosis...

This study offers a combined analysis of personal exposure to noise and air pollution within the metropolitan centre of Thessaloniki, Greece. The area is selected on the grounds that it is considered as one of the most polluted cities in Europe, especially with respect to air pollution. An extensive...

Although noise is a very common nuisance in Greek cities, information on actual noise levels in streets is sparse. Here, noise measurements at five main streets of Thessaloniki, Greece for about five weeks are presented. Ten minute, one hour and daily average noise levels were calculated. Traffic...

In this study, the Bayesian approach is proposed to estimate the noise variances of Kalman filter based statistical models for predicting the daily averaged PM10 concentrations of a typical coastal city, Macau, with Latitude 22°10’N and Longitude 113°34’E. By using the measurements in 2001 and 2002...
