This study focuses on the estimation of thermal comfort conditions in a high alt. site (1455 m) in Apodotia (MA), Greece, by using the MLP neural network model. This estimation is based on the air temperature (t) and relative humidity (f) data of the middle (1078-1163 m) and of the low altitude...

When flushing carry out as pressure condition, a scour cone is performed around the outlet. As the flow around the outlet in the pressure flushing is three dimensional, therefore that it is difficult to establish a general empirical model to provide accurate estimation for scour cone volume and...

A regional model was developed in the present study for the determination of the flow duration curve at ungaged catchments, in western and northwestern Greece, which is a hydrologically homogenous region. A flow duration curve indicates the water availability at a site and is important for the...

The potential regional future changes in seasonal (winter and summer) temperature and precipitation are assessed for the greater area of Greece over the 21st century, under A2, A1B and B2 future emission scenarios of IPCC. Totally twenty-two simulations from various regional climate models (RCMs)...

This paper provides an introduction to one hundred thirty one, pre-industrial, unpublicised Mediterranean scenes kept in Oxford, which constitute valuable evidence of changing environment. The largely unknown and unpublished paintings witness environmental wilderness and the cultural landscapes of...

Solar assisted Photo Fenton was compared with advanced oxidation processes for their color and COD removal efficiency and cost effectiveness. H2O2 alone appeared to be inefficient to reduce color and COD content of any effluent. The performance of Fenton process was slightly better, color and COD...

A noticeable decline of Quercus ithaburensis ssp. Macrolepis, a typical mediterranean species, has been recorded in the past few decades throughout Greece. The triggers were mostly human influences and specifically illegal cuttings, wildfires, and overgrazing. Regeneration and future management of...

The main objective of this study was to characterize the organic matter present in raw water and along the treatment process, as well as its seasonal variation. A natural organic matter fractionation approach has been applied to Lever water treatment plant located in Douro River, in Oporto (Portugal...

Improving the treatment efficiency of a primary wastewater treatment plant(WWTP),in Alexandria, Egypt,was studied.In order to improve the treatment efficiency of the plant, different improving scenarios were proposed and evaluated. The improvement scenarios are: scenario 1,use of engineered wetland...

Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) are highly complex technical mixtures of polychlorinated n-alkanes with carbon-chain lengths from C10-C13 and chlorine content between 49 and 70%. They are produced by chlorination of n-alkanes and do not occur naturally. Because of their physical properties...
