A Web-node has been created in order to address the specific needs of the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of three important economic areas in the Mediterranean region, the food, textile and hotel sectors. The node provides important information on the market structure in the relevant sectors...

In this experimental study some measurements and their analysis are presented concerning the polluted water effluent disposal in the sea water. The wastes are disposed through the round openings of a submerged in the sea diffuser, in the form of turbulent jets which are mixing (diffusing) with the...

Laboratory column tests were conducted to study the efficiency of lignite fly ash barriers in removing heavy metal ions, such as Fe, Zn, Mn, Ni, Cd, Co, Al and Cu, present in high concentrations in acidic leachates produced in mining and waste disposal sites. The experimental configuration comprised...

The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) recently introduced more stringent arsenic regulations by lowering the maximum contaminant level (MCL) to 10 ìg l-1 (ppb) arsenic in drinking water. During the present study, an iron solution injection sand filtration process was designed and tested to...

Á mathematical model is applied to calculate the water circulation in the marina of Latsi in Cyprus. The flow field in the marina shows the general behavior of coastal, wind driven flows, being strongly influenced by the characteristics of the entrance of the marina. The small dimension and the...

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...

Over the last decades intensified agricultural production is applied in the northern coastal part of Korinthos Prefecture (Peloponnese, Greece). An aquifer system occurs in the recent basin deposits, which consists of unconsolidated material, namely sands, pebbles and fine clay to silty sand...

Citizen concerns about environmental management practices will usually lead to public attention and legislative proposals. This paper intends to assess the behaviour of potential environmental polluting industries. In order to accomplish this objective, a survey composed of twenty-five questions was...

A GIS-based Decision Support System (DSS) was developed to select the appropriate interpolation technique used in studying rainfall spatial variability. The DSS used the ArcView GIS platform by incorporating its spatial analysis capabilities, the programming language "AVENUE", and simple statistical...
