      A compendium of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by human cell lines 

      Filipiak, W.; Mochalski, Paweł; Filipiak, A.; Ager, C.; Cumeras, R.; Davis, C. E.; Agapiou, Agapios; Unterkofler, K.; Troppmair, J. (2016)
      Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) offer unique insights into ongoing biochemical processes in healthy and diseased humans. Yet, their diagnostic use is hampered by the limited understanding of their biochemical or cellular ...

      Dynamic vapor generator that simulates transient odor emissions of victims entrapped in the voids of collapsed buildings 

      Statheropoulos, Miltiades K.; Pallis, George C.; Mikedi, Katerina; Giannoukos, S.; Agapiou, Agapios; Pappa, Athina A.; Cole, A.; Vautz, W.; Thomas, Charles Lawrence Paul (2014)
      The design, development, and validation of a dynamic vapor generator are presented. The generator simulates human scent (odor) emissions from trapped victims in the voids of collapsed buildings. The validation of the device ...
