Plant biomonitoring: impact of urban environment on seasonal dynamics of storage substances and chlorophylls of Oleander

by

Meletiou-Christou M.S. , Banilas G.P., Bardisi C. and Rhizopoulou S.

General

In the present study seasonal changes of chlorophyll content and storage substances related to the metabolic response of the widespread, evergreen plant oleander (Nerium oleander) to air pollution were investigated. Mature leaves of oleander shrubs, grown at five sites of differing levels of air...

Application of sludge, organic solid wastes and yard trimmings in aerobic compost piles

by

Chazirakis P., Giannis A., Gidarakos E., Wang J.-Y. and Stegmann R.

General

The effects of different mixture ratios of sewage sludge (SS), organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) and yard trimmings (YT) on the performance of composting process were investigated in this study. The high water content and the proper carbon/nitrogen ratio make sludge ideal for this...

Temporal and spatial scales of lake processes. Part 1: physical and ecological scales, non-dimensional parameters and flow regimes

by

Papadimitrakis I.

General

Scaling concepts, related to basic physical transport and mixing processes and other ecological aspects in lakes, are reviewed in an ecohydrodynamic perspective; the length and time scales as well as the non-dimensional parameters governing the various flow regimes and relevant to these processes...

Temporal and spatial scales of lake processes. Part 2: interaction of physical and ecological scales and application of scaling concepts to greek lakes

by

Papadimitrakis I. and Chioni A.

General

The temporal and spatial scaling concepts related to basic physical and ecological lake processes and the associated non-dimensional parameters that govern the various flow regimes, developed in lakes and reviewed in Part 1 of our companion paper (Papadimitrakis, 2011), are applied to lakes Pamvotis...

Removal of hexavalent chromium from electroplating wastewater by electrocoagulation with iron electrodes

by

Dermentzis K., Christoforidis A., Valsamidou E. and Lazaridou A.

General

The performance of electrocoagulation using iron electrodes for the removal of hexavalent chromium from synthetic aqueous solutions and actual industrial electroplating wastewater was studied. Parameters affecting the electrocoagulation process, such as initial pH, applied current density, initial...

Under climatic change, soil microbial community and variables relating to N-cycle are modulated by changes in the upper limit temperature

by

Monokrousos N., Papatheodorou E.M. and Stamou G.P.

General

The effect of temperature increase and more specifically its upper and low level correlates on soil microbial biomass, activity and N-cycle variables was studied in a Mediterranean shrubland. Experimental manipulation succeeded in establishing three treatments which, in comparison with the monthly...

Crop requirements and water losses in collective pressurized irrigation networks in Northern Greece

by

Arampatzis G.K., Evangelides C.H. and Hatzigiannakis E.G.

General

Water volume consumed for crop irrigation at the plain of Thessaloniki – northern Greece, was estimated and compared against the volume reported by the General Land Reclamation Organisation (G.L.R.O.) of Thessaloniki – Lagada. For the estimation of net crop water requirements, apart from crop...

Removal of C.I.Basic yellow 2 from aqueous solution by adsorption onto granular activated carbon using an on-line spectrophotometric analysis system: Kinetic and equilibrium study

by

Aber S. and Haddadi Esfahlan F.

General

The adsorption of Basic yellow 2 (BY2), from aqueous solutions onto Granular activated carbon (GAC) and its adsorption kinetics at different concentrations, GAC masses, initial pH values and temperatures were studied. The adsorption process was followed by an on-line spectrophotometric analysis...

Week Day and Week End Air Ion Variability at Rural station Ramanandnagar (17° 4’ N 74° 25’E), India and At Different Atmospheric Sites in India

by

Pawar S.D., Meena G.S. and Jadhav D.B.

General

Globalization and liberalization polices of the government of India have increased the number of road vehicles nearly 92.6% from 1980-81 to 2003-2004. Therefore to know whether there is effect of increase of industrialization in the urban areas like Pune (18° 32′N, 73° 51′E); Mumbai (18° 55' N, 72°...

Multivariate analysis of hydrochemical data of the groundwater in parts of Karwan – Sengar sub - basin, Central Ganga basin, India

by

Khan T.A.

General

Ganga basin is one of the world’s biggest aquifer repositories. The thick alluvium of the basin hosts its three tier aquifer system. The aquifer of the basin is under high stress due to unethical human intervention in the natural system. This warrants the need to evolve the basic hydrochemistry of...
