We investigate temporal changes in seismic activity observed in the West Corinth Gulfand North-West Peloponnese during 2008 to 2010. Two major earthquake sequencestook place in the area at that time (in 2008 and 2010). Our aim is to analyse Greekseismicity to attempt to confirm the existence or non-existence of seismic precursorsprior to the strongest earthquakes. Perhaps because the area is geolo
The utilization of membrane technology in the food industry is directly tied to its success in protein recovery processes. Membrane technology was first introduced in the food industry for the extraction of proteins from whey, a by-product of cheese production that was difficult to dispose of due to its low solids content and high biological oxygen demand. By using ultrafiltration, whey proteins w

Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) is highly prevalent across Europe. While evidence-based treatments exist, many people with MDD have their condition undetected and/or untreated. This study aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of reducing treatment gaps using a modeling approach. Methods A decision-tree model covering a 27-month time horizon was used. This followed a care pathway where
The self-diffusion coefficients of D2O (i.e., heavy water or 2H2O) in eight n-alkanes at 298 K were investigated using 2H NMR diffusometry. D tended to decrease in the n-alkanes with increasing carbon number and be inversely proportional to the n-alkane viscosity to a fractional power. The hydrodynamic radius of D2O in the n-alkanes, calculated from Stokes-Einstein-Sutherland equation with stick b
This chapter is a commentary on the book as a whole. Based on the overall PeTS project, the empirical findings from the four educational settings and the conceptual portions of the book, this chapter focuses on three specific aspects of peer group mentoring: the move from teaching as a private matter to teaching as a collegial responsibility, the relationship between collegiality and peer group me
Telomeres are the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes. The telomeres are essential for solving the end replication problem and they stabilize the genome by protection from degradation. The telomeres also protect the chromosomal ends from by being recognized as DNA breaks by the repair machinery, which could lead to end-to-end fusions. Dysfunctional telomeres are implicated in many complex cellul
The main objective of this work is the application of variational concepts to microscopic multiple particle systems (MPS) which are assigned to corresponding points of a macroscopic continuum. Due to this underlying micro-structure it is not sufficient to simulate the macroscopic behavior with pre-assumed (overall) material parameters, or rather constitutive-law-based standard methods. Therefore,
