Population and single cell metabolic activity of UV-induced VBNC bacteria determined by CTC-FCM and D2O-labeled Raman spectroscopy

Environment International, 2019
The occurrence of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) bacteria will result in significant underestimation of viable bacterial counts in drinking water. Whereas, much is unknown in characterizing their viability.

Urban logistics & environment

, 2018
Η βιωσιμότητα της αστικής εφοδιαστικής είναι ένα σημαντικό ζήτημα για τις ταχέως αναπτυσσόμενες πόλεις σε όλο τον κόσμο. Παρόλο που πολλές πόλεις έχουν αναπτύξει στρατηγικές για την αποτελεσματικότερη και ασφαλέστερη μετακίνηση των ανθρώπων στο αστικό περιβάλλον, έχει δοθεί πολύ λιγότερη προσοχή στη σημασία της παράδοσης αγαθών στους ανθρώπους στην ...

Conformal Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces: A Cylindrical Geometry Perspective

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Cylindrical reconfigurable intelligent surfaces are explored for low‐complexity beam steering using one‐bit meta‐atoms. A multi‐level modeling approach, including optimization‐based synthesis, demonstrates that even minimal hardware can support directive scattering.

Urbanization and Urban Environment change.docx

, 2019
This paper discusses the urbanization caused by the process towards a more modern society and the increasing movement of people from villages to cities. Urbanization is a result of economic development that goes into the scope of the village community and demands that they seek a better life due to limited resources to seek welfare in the village. Even

Local habitat characteristics have a stronger effect than the surrounding urban landscape on beetle communities on green roof [PDF]

, 2018
Green roofs are a promising tool to return nature to cities and mitigate biodiversity loss brought about by urbanization. Yet, we lack basic information on how green roofs contribute to biodiversity and how their placement in the urban landscape affects ...
