The feasibility and limits in performing tomographic bioluminescence imaging with a combined optical-PET (OPET) system were explored by simulating its image formation process. A micro-MRI based virtual mouse phantom was assigned appropriate tissue optical properties to each of segmented internal organs at wavelengths spanning the emission spectrum firefly luciferase 37 °C. TOAST finite-element code employed simulate diffuse transport photons emitted from sources mouse. OPET measurements...
This study evaluates the accuracy of bathymetric maps generated from multispectral satellite datasets acquired different sensors, namely Worldview 2, PlanetScope, and Sentinel in bay Elounda Crete. Image pre-processing steps were implemented before use three empirical methods for estimating bathymetry. A dedicated correction median filter have been applied to minimize noise sun glint sea waves. Due spectral complexity selected area, statistical correlation with numbers bands was applied. The...
Responsible tourism practices promote the idea that responsibility refers to both visitors and local communities, ensuring protection conservation of natural environment cultural heritage contributing a better quality life. The role “sustainability” in tourist development strategy is protect reveal what already exists (“reuse, recycle, renovate”) rather than consume. In these terms, routes can serve as valuable assets attract generate economic activity, while protecting environmental...
Erosion is a major threat for coasts worldwide, beaches in particular, which constitute one of the most valuable coastal landforms. Vulnerability assessments related to beach erosion may contribute planning measures counteract by identifying, quantifying and ranking vulnerability. Herein, we present new index, Beach Index (BVI), combines simplicity calculations, easily obtainable data low processing capacity. This approach provides results not only different beaches, but also sectors same...
The demand for a new concept of heritage, in which monuments and landscapes are considered active factors creating sense history, is esteemed not only from scientific academic perspective, but as well part more sensitive efficient strategy to link cultural heritage tourism, by bringing an integrative perspective the forefront. Implementing such strategies strictly correlated with ability support decision-makers increase people’s awareness towards comprehensive approach preservation. In...
Inevitable discrepancies between the mouse tissue optical properties assumed by an experimenter and actual physiological values may affect tomographic localization of bioluminescent sources. In a previous work, simplifying assumption optically homogeneous tissues led to inaccurate deep Improved results be obtained if anatomical map is provided high-resolution imaging modality are assigned segmented tissues. this feasibility approach was explored simulating effect different magnitude property...
The choice of holiday destinations is highly depended on climate considerations. Nowadays, since the effects crisis are being increasingly felt, need for accurate weather and services hotels crucial. Such a service could be beneficial both future planning tourists’ activities hotel managers as it help in decision making about expansion touristic season, due to prediction higher temperatures longer time span, thus causing increased revenue companies local sector. aim this work calculate...
The study assesses coastal evolution and the vulnerability of archaeological sites in Southeastern Crete. Shoreline dynamics since 1940s were examined through interpretation high-resolution aerial photographs satellite images. A set climatic variables, as well data on geomorphological geological factors obtained from fieldwork, images interpretation, archives, open-source datasets, analysed. influence these variables was evaluated using regression analysis, correlating their spatial...
This extended abstract addresses the issue of marine plastic pollution in Pachia Ammos area, Crete, and explores potential for developing an early warning system specifically litter. The research area is located East Greece, spans from to Tholos Kavousi, focusing on Voulisma beaches. methodology integrates field sampling numerical modeling assess debris distribution movement patterns. Data collection involved onshore offshore sampling, physical documentation, classification waste....
<h3>AIMS/BACKGROUND</h3> The purpose of this study was apply the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to develop a sensitive, specific, and rapid test diagnose<i> Fusarium</i> keratitis.<i>Fusarium</i> is most common cause fungal corneal infection in some parts world. It often difficult establish that keratitis due infection. <h3>METHODS</h3> <i>Fusarium solani</i>keratitis induced three eyes rabbits by injection suspension fungus into anterior stroma. In one rabbit contralateral eye served as...
Cultural Heritage (CH) (In the context of this paper, we consider cultural heritage built tangible heritage, such as buildings or monuments.) is an important source identity for humankind and needs to be conserved future generations. Climate change (CC) will morph environmental landscape, thus leading climate stress imposed on CH. Experts from different domains, including, but not limited to, material scientists, conservators managers collaborate find out how CC affects CH potentially...
Documentation and conservation of underwater cultural heritage (UCH) are crucial to preserving humankind’s history traditions, safeguarding tangible testimonies past human life while ensuring its accessibility future generations. The TECTONIC (Technological Consortium TO develop sustainability Cultural Heritage) project is promoting an intersectoral collaboration between academic non-academic professionals (i.e., archaeologists, conservators, geologists, engineers, etc.) working on different...
The present investigation examines the characteristics of a high energy storm event, that took place on November 9-11, 2007 in NE Ionian Sea (eastern Mediterranean), and its impact upon barrier beach separates Lefkada lagoon from open Sea. event was caused by NW winds with speeds exceeding 20 m/s (40 knots), which have an annual frequency occurrence less than 0.015%. This produced waves >5 m significant offshore height 9.5 s period; these developed 10th during rapid rise barometric...
