      Environmental aspects of VOCs evolved in the early stages of human decomposition 

      Statheropoulos, Miltiades K.; Agapiou, Agapios; Spiliopoulou, C.; Pallis, George C.; Sianos, Efstathios (2007)
      In the present study, the time profile, measured as "accumulation", of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced during the early stages of human decomposition was investigated. A human cadaver was placed in a sealed bag ...

      Manganese citrate chemistry: Syntheses, spectroscopic studies, and structural characterizations of novel mononuclear, water-soluble manganese citrate complexes 

      Matzapetakis, M.; Karligiano, N.; Bino, A.; Dakanali, M.; Raptopoulou, C. P.; Tangoulis, V.; Terzis, A.; Giapintzakis, John; Salifoglou, A. (2000)
      The first two mononuclear manganese citrate complexes, (NH4)4[Mn(II)(C6H5O7)2] (1) and (NH4)5[Mn(III)(C6H4O7)2]·2H2O (2) were synthesized in aqueous solutions near physiological pH values. They were isolated in their pure ...

      Physiology and biochemistry of human subjects during entrapment 

      Agapiou, Agapios; Mikedi, Katerina; Karma, Sofia; Giotaki, Zoe K.; Kolostoumbis, D.; Papageorgiou, Charalambos Ch; Zorba, Eleni; Spiliopoulou, C.; Amann, Anton; Statheropoulos, Miltiades K. (2013)
      A classification of various categories of entrapped people under the ruins of collapsed buildings after earthquakes, technical failures or explosions is proposed. Type and degree of injury at the moment of building collapse ...

      The preparation and adsorptive properties of ammonia-activated viscose rayon chars 

      Tomlinson, J. B.; Freeman, J. J.; Theocharis, Charis R. (1993)
      Viscose rayon chars have been activated in ammonia under varying conditions in order to investigate whether the presence of N-containing groups in the char structure led to a limitation of pore development in the micropore ...

      The preparation and characterization of 5-substituted-4-chloro-1,2,3- dithiazolium salts and their conversion into 4-substituted-3-chloro-1,2,5- thiadiazoles 

      Koutentis, Panayiotis Andreas (2005)
      A series of monosubstituted acetonitriles were treated with disulfur dichloride at room temperature in CH2Cl2 to afford 5-substituted-4-chloro-1,2,3-dithiazolium chlorides 1. Where the 5-substituent was not a good leaving ...

      Trace detection of endogenous human volatile organic compounds for search, rescue and emergency applications 

      Agapiou, Agapios; Amann, Anton; Mochalski, Paweł; Statheropoulos, Miltiades K.; Thomas, Charles Lawrence Paul (2015)
      Since Pauling's paper in the 1970s, interest has increased in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from different bio-fluids, such as blood and urine. A number of VOCs reflect internal biochemical pathways occurring ...

      The trapped human experiment 

      Huo, R.; Agapiou, Agapios; Bocos-Bintintan, V.; Brown, L. J.; Burns, C.; Creaser, C. S.; Devenport, N. A.; Gao-Lau, B.; Guallar-Hoyas, C.; Hildebrand, L.; Malkar, A.; Martin, H. J.; Moll, V. H.; Patel, P.; Ratiu, A.; Reynolds, J. C.; Sielemann, S.; Slodzynski, R.; Statheropoulos, Miltiades K.; Turner, M. A.; Vautz, W.; Wright, V. E.; Thomas, Charles Lawrence Paul (2011)
      This experiment observed the evolution of metabolite plumes from a human trapped in a simulation of a collapsed building. Ten participants took it in turns over five days to lie in a simulation of a collapsed building and ...
