Spatial data acquisition is a critical process for the identification of coastline and coastal zones scientists involved in study morphology. The availability very high-resolution digital surface models (DSMs) orthophoto maps increasing interest to all scientists, especially those monitoring small variations earth’s surface, such as In this article, we present methodology acquire high resolution acquired by vertical take off landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attached commercial...
This paper presents a decision support model that assesses offshore suitability for floating wind turbine installation. The is based on Multi-Criteria Analysis and Geographic Information Systems. An implementation of the Aegean Sea also presented. methodological approach followed consists four stages. first stage excludes sites are inappropriate siting legislative constraints. At second stage, set evaluation criteria used in order to identify most suitable areas Next economic highest-scored...
This contribution addresses the need for a simple model managers to employ when planning strategies management of touristic beaches under sea level rise. A methodological framework was developed and tested in two Aegean archipelago islands (Lesvos Rhodes, Greece). The scheme can represent status island beaches, based on easily obtained variables/indicators projections beach erosion/retreat different scenarios mean rise (MSLR) extreme events. Information geomorphological characteristics,...
It is well known that the toxicokinetics (i.e. absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion) of mercury highly dependent on form to which a receptor has been exposed. The aim this paper summarize available health effects information for compounds in international scientific literature (1940-2003) point need increased Hg control water food, including speciation, especially Mediterranean countries.
The identification of areas that are insignificant for archaeological research can be used guidance and support in projects involve decision-making about the use land modern development activities. On other hand, significant contribute to knowledge minimise risk unsuccessful excavations. This paper presents a review most recent representative applications predictive modelling Archaeology, which demonstrate models successfully exploited by Cultural Heritage Management (CHM).
The study presents a general methodology for designing, developing and implementing predictive modelling identifying areas of archaeological interest. is based on documented data geographical factors, geospatial analysis modelling, has been applied to the identification possible Macedonian tombs’ locations in Northern Greece. model was tested extensively results were validated using commonly used gain, which proved efficiency model’s ability its capability providing answers series questions...
The priority substances of List I, 76/464/EEC Directive, some which belong to the new Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC, have been monitored in surface waters Greece through developed network 53 sampling stations. analytical methods used for determination these included Purge and Trap-Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry volatile semivolatile organic compounds, Gas Chromatography-Electron Capture Detection organochlorine insecticides, High Performance Liquid Chromatography...
Marine Spatial Planning (MSP), which is in concept similar to land-use planning, a public process by the relevant Member State's authorities analyse and organise human activities marine areas achieve ecological, economic social objectives. MSP aims promote sustainable growth of maritime economies, development use resources. This paper highlights importance provides basic outcomes main European development. The already successful plans can provide useful feedback guidelines for other...
The application of technologies in humanities and specifically Archaeology over the past recent years has yielded important expertise that can be successfully exploited by both Archaeological Research Cultural Heritage Management. This study presents a general methodology for designing, developing implementing predictive modelling identifying sites archaeological interest. is based on documented data geographical factors, geospatial analysis into one consistent workflow. model was tested...
Pollutants posing health risks to human and the aquatic environment often occur in drinking surface waters, as a result of disinfection practices, agricultural industrial activities, wastewater discharges. Toxic pollutants belong different chemical categories, including chlorination by-products, volatile semivolatile organic compounds, insecticides (organochlorine organophosphorous), herbicides (triazines substituted ureas), metals organotin compounds. Optimization analytical methods needed...
Crowdsourcing applications that integrate storytelling and geotagging capabilities offer new avenues for engaging the public in cultural heritage. However, standardised evaluation frameworks are lacking. This paper presents an applied methodology involving analysis of relevant web-based tools. Towards this goal, development crowdsourcing using, as a case study, collection myths legends associated with monumental heritage site Palace Grand Master Knights Rhodes Greece. Additionally, conducted...
Combining different renewable energy sources increases electricity production and system availability. In this paper, the risks arising from interconnection of subsystems with technologies in a floating multi-use platform are assessed through application TOPSIS multicriteria method. The evaluated operational conditions either stand-alone or combination. aims to achieve quantification benefits combination wind turbine, photovoltaic panels, wave converters, storage on board an offshore using...
The methylation of mercury has been investigated and documented mainly in sediments, fish
 microorganisms, while limited number relevant studies is available for wastewater. The
 procedure can occur via biological pathway (by microorganisms) and
 chemical or photochemical reactions.
 Methylation occurs under anaerobic conditions, but some have
 shown its existence also aerobic conditions. resulting concentration methyl
 mercury, which a highly toxic compound,...
The objectives of this report are: (a) the study mercury contaminated wastewater input effects at activated sludge process in an pilot plant and (b) estimation removal ability mercury's input, different concentrations, from plant. concentration inorganic inlet varied 0 to 100 μg/l HgCl2. most important physical, chemical biological parameters were measured least 4 times a day. Consequently, it was possible describe, more detailed way, effect that had on procedure point critical fluctuations
It is known that there are many factors which affect the removal of metals in conventional sewage treatment plant. The purpose this research was determination ten (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, V, Li) wastewater town Kavala (80,000 population), at inlet and outlet waste water plant under different conditions (strong rainfall, an average day during holidays). previously mentioned showed effect they have on concentration heavy untreated (the strong rainfall increases concentrations Fe, Cr...
The primal purpose of this research project is to examine the size distribution Suspended Solids (SS) an activated sludge pilot plant, under different operational conditions and during introduction wastewater contaminated with mercury concentrations (10–100 µg/L Hg(NO3)2). While experiment was being conducted, most important parameters plant (COD, TOC, MLSS, SS, NH4, PO4, total number bacteria – coccoids rods, pH, DO, T etc.) were measured; fact led inference conclusions that connect SS...
