Doctoral Thesis Open Access
Advanced systems for the enhancement of the environmental performance of wineries - wastewater purification combining biological, advanced chemical and reverse osmosis treatment
(Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Πολυτεχνική Σχολή / University of Cyprus, Faculty of Engineering, 2013-12)Η ταυτόχρονη παρουσία υψηλών συγκεντρώσεων οργανικών και ανόργανων ενώσεων, καθώς και η διαχρονική διακύμανση των συγκεντρώσεων τους που παρατηρείται σε κάθε οινοποιείο, αλλά και από οινοποιείο σε οινοποιείο, καθιστά την ...

Effects of monovalent anions of the Hofmeister series on DPPC lipid bilayers part I: Swelling and in-plane equations of state
(2007)Aiming to improve understanding of the mechanisms behind specific anion effects in biological systems we have studied the effects of sodium salts of simple monovalent anions belonging to the Hofmeister series on the bilayers ...

Effects of monovalent anions of the Hofmeister series on DPPC lipid bilayers part II: Modeling the perpendicular and lateral equation-of-state
(2007)The effects of Hofmeister anions on the perpendicular and lateral equation-of-state (EOS) of the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine lamellar phase discussed in the companion article are here examined using appropriate free ...

Evolution of osmotic pressure in solid tumors
(2014)The mechanical microenvironment of solid tumors includes both fluid and solid stresses. These stresses play a crucial role in cancer progression and treatment and have been analyzed rigorously both mathematically and ...

Experimental measurements and mathematical modeling towards quantification of brain swelling stress
(2017)Traumatic brain injury results in brain tissue swelling which can be a life threatening condition due to skull confinement. While previous efforts successfully measured the exhibited volume change in brain tissue swelling, ...

Investigation of the stability of polyelectrolyte multilayer coatings in open-tubular capillary electrochromatography using laser scanning confocal microscopy
(2005)A simple polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) coating procedure was used for the development of stable modified capillaries. PEM coatings were constructed in fused-silica capillaries using alternating rinses of cationic and ...

Solid Tumors Are Poroelastic Solids with a Chemo-mechanical Feedback on Growth
(2017)The experimental evidence that a feedback exists between growth and stress in tumors poses challenging questions. First, the rheological properties (the “constitutive equations”) of aggregates of malignant cells are still ...
