OBJECTIVES To investigate the possible role of hypoxia‐inducible factor 1α (HIF‐1α, a transcription important in regulating O 2 homeostasis and physiological responses to oxygen deprivation) recurrence progression superficial urothelial bladder cancer, examine its expression relation proliferation status, apoptotic activity intratumoral angiogenesis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Paraffin wax‐embedded tissue from 140 patients with primary carcinoma was immunostained for HIF‐1α, Ki‐67, single‐stranded...
Coastal floods are regarded as among the most dangerous and harmful of all natural disasters affecting urban areas adjacent to shorelines. Rapid urbanization combined with climate change poor governance often results in significant increase flood risk, especially for coastal communities. Wave overtopping wave run-up key mechanisms monitoring flooding such, efforts currently focusing on their predicting. In this paper, an integrated methodology is proposed, accounting under extreme scenarios...
An integrated methodological approach to the development of a coastal flood early-warning system is presented in this paper improve societal preparedness for events. The consists two frameworks, namely Hindcast Framework and Forecast Framework. aim former implement suite high-credibility numerical models validate them according past flooding events, while latter takes advantage these validated runs plethora scenarios representing distinct sea-state events train an Artificial Neural Network...
The prediction of the coastal bed evolution at an annual scale utilizing process-based models is usually a complex task requiring significant computational resources. To compensate for this, accelerating techniques aiming reducing amount input parameters are often employed. In framework this research, comprehensive evaluation capacity widely-used K-Means clustering algorithm as method to obtain representative wave conditions was undertaken. Various enhancements were examined in order improve...
This paper presents a recently developed Operational Forecast Platform (OFP) for prevailing sea conditions at very important ports worldwide (Accu-Waves). The OFP produces reliable high-resolution predictions of wave characteristics in and around ocean ports. Its goal is to support safer navigation, predict possible port downtime, assist vessel approaching, enhance management towing services, bolster secure ship maneuvering busy the globe. Accu-Waves based on integrated, modelling over...
Coastal storms as extreme hydrometeorological events have severe impacts on the coasts and consequently affect coastal communities, attracting considerable research interest nowadays. Attempting to understand risk of these events, a storm analysis is accomplished by studying parameters which define their properties, such wave height, period, duration, calm energy. The frequency occurrence storms, thresholds way they are interrelating with each other draw rough outline climate during for...
Coastal flooding is one of the most threatening and detrimental natural disasters affecting coastal areas (Tsoukala et al., 2016, Chondros 2021a), mainly caused by Sea Level Rise (SLR) due to astronomical tide storm surge, along with concurrent wave action. The risk increases further in presence river or stream outflows, potentially leading under extreme conditions inundation even larger domains, a phenomenon defined as compound flood event. scope this paper present highly innovative...
Port and coastal rubble mound structures are constru- cted to minimize the effects of wave action on beaches harbors. Their structural degradation and, conse- quently, their damage usually linked instability armor layer, expressed as rocking, units’ displace- ments, blanket sliding, or settlement (Campos et al. 2020a). Within context retaining functionality in-service structures, monitoring insta- bility issues allows for understanding evolution optimizing repair actions confront failures.
Wind and wave resources enclose an important portion of the planet's energy potential. While wind has been effectively harnessed through last decades to substitute other forms production, utilization synergy between resource not yet adequately investigated. Such a hybrid system could prove efficient in covering needs non-connected remote islands. A combined deterministic stochastic methodology is presented case study Aegean island, by assessing 100-year climate scenario incorporating...
The aim of this study is to assess the resilience coastal urban areas and their exposure sea-level rise flooding, using proposed Coastal Resilience Index (CResI). CResI an innovative combination diverse characteristics. It includes 19 parameters implemented GIS techniques. included in are classified into six category factors (geomorphology, wave exposition, land use, socioeconomic, infrastructure/functional). Analytic Hierarchy Process used assign weights rank parameters. framework tested...
Climate change significantly affects every day's human activities such as agriculture and tourism by altering the composition parameters of global atmosphere over long period time. In Greece, a substantial part national gross domestic product comes from agricultural production efficiency (e.g. crop yield) which mainly depends on adequacy sufficiency resources water soil fertility. this concept, footprint (WF) could be used monitoring indicator to evaluate applied schemes potential adaptation...
Coastal areas are dynamic multidimensional systems challenged by the complex interactions between natural, environmental, and human-induced pressures, as well ever-changing climate. A comprehensive evaluation of their spatial temporal features enables development effective practices required to apply integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) policies. ICZM seeks address vulnerability in an attempt mitigate weaknesses increase resilience. Hence, assessment is a prerequisite proceed with...

A critical component of water footprint (WF) indicator is the green WF that refers to total rainwater evapotranspiration (ET) plus incorporated into crop. From definition ET rate an irrigated cropland needs be reliably quantified especially in scarce regions like Chania Valley Crete. Based on this concept, different scenarios terms consumption (basic and future) hydrological conditions (average dry) were evaluated. Furthermore, was estimated, by applying methods calculate effective rainfall,...
Ports play a significant role in the economic and social activities of areas they serve.However, adverse effects harsh highly corrosive environments that ports operate in, along with phenomena related to climate crisis insufficient maintenance practices, increase port infrastructure's susceptibility rapid degradation.This degradation can be aesthetic, functional, or structural often leads loss serviceability at either component (local national) level global level.Moreover, many structures...
