description: The book is addressed to undergraduate students of Technological Educational Institutes, in whose Departments Electronics is taught as a "core" subject. Given the different cognitive background of the students, the book attempts in the first chapter to provide the reader with all the introductory knowledge necessary to understand the content of the chapters that follow. The basic principles governing the operation of basic electronic devices are presented in a progressive manner and their main applications are listed. In particular, applications of diodes (in rectification, smoothing and regulation of alternating voltages), amplifier circuits with bipolar transistors and MOSFETs, applications of operational amplifiers, and simple topologies of filters and harmonic oscillators are presented and analyzed. Although the book focuses mainly on the study of analog electronic circuits, an attempt is made to introduce the reader to the methodology of designing digital logic circuits, which is presented in a specific chapter.

description: The book describes the main technologies following the route of the digital broadcasting signal, from its generation, encoding and compression to its modulation and transmission. It consists of four main sections. The first main section discusses the generation of digital television signal. Video and audio signal properties are described including resolution, sampling rate, frame rate and bandwidth requirements, color conversions (RGB / YcbCr) as well as TV-specific techniques including interlacing and horizontal / vertical synch. In the second main section, video and audio coding and compression techniques are described based on MPEG standards, including color subsampling, motion compensation, discrete cosine transform (DCT), Huffman and arithmetic coding and run length encoding (RLE). Compression impact on quality is quantified using image/video quality metrics (such PNSR and VQE). In terms of audio coding, removing of redundant (or human imperceivable) information and frequency and temporal masking techniques are examined. In addition, encapsulation mechanisms, program and mainly transport streams, are described. The following main section describes channel coding and forward error correction techniques, including block and convolutional codes, as well as modulation for terrestrial transmission using the VHF/UHF spectrum. Digital modulation techniques (QAM) and OFDM are discussed with brief reference to analog modulation which employs AM and FM for luma, chrominance and audio signals respectively. In the last main section, Internet Television, Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), is also discussed as a two-way, interactive, multimedia network service. In addition the main modules of the (digital and analog) TV tuner are identified and briefly discussed as they perform the reverse process of signal receiving, demodulation and decoding. The book closes with a brief reference to the upcoming technological developments including the provision of value-added services on top of TV signal and more efficient coding techniques to support ultra-HD.

description: This book has as its main objective the presentation of the basic principles of the classical theory of electromagnetism, in a relatively simple and short way, without expanding but focusing the reader's attention on the basic and essential points of the theory and its applications. Briefly about the subject of the book, we can say that initially the fundamental physical quantity of electric charge is described, followed by the consequences it brings to the surrounding space by creating an electric field and potential. The electric forces between charges are studied and the electric potential energy is defined. Also presented is the calculation of the electric field of symmetric non-point charges by applying Gauss's law. Then the concepts of capacitance, electric current and electric resistance are presented. Particular emphasis is placed on the presentation and analysis of electrical circuits with resistors and capacitors. In addition, magnetism is presented with the description of magnetic induction and magnetic phenomena as well as the magnetic properties of matter. The electromagnetic forces and their applications are studied, while the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction in all its aspects (self-induction and mutual induction) is fully described. The book closes with the presentation of alternating currents and electromagnetic waves. It is worth noting that a representative number of questions and problems (not too large) follow each chapter to better assess the reader's acquired knowledge. It should also be mentioned that the mathematical background of the book lies in basic knowledge of vector and integral calculus at the undergraduate level. Particular emphasis is placed on the detailed presentation of mathematical operations, starting with the definitions of physical quantities and ending with the most complex relationships that describe electromagnetic phenomena.

description: The contents of the book focus on the dynamic behavior of thin-walled structures for marine applications (such as hydrocarbon pipelines) and are the result of the author's many years of research. The target audience is broad and includes undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers. Its aim is to consolidate existing knowledge into a comprehensive work describing the basic parameters that affect the structural integrity of such structures. To the best of the author's knowledge, there have been no similar publications in Greek. The marine environment is hostile to all structures operating in it. Structural integrity, with an emphasis on fluid transport pipelines, depends predominantly on dynamic effects and, consequently, the prediction of their dynamic behavior is a prerequisite for their safe operation. Prediction is based on the formulation and solution of mathematical models. The book provides all the necessary knowledge in this direction. It provides the complete mathematical formulation of dynamic equilibrium, taking into account all possible effects. It describes and analyzes the methods for approximating all possible linear and nonlinear contributions. It delves into practical issues that are at the forefront of global technology in offshore construction, such as structural integrity, fatigue, seabed interactions, flutter due to vortex shedding, internal flow effects, etc. Students will acquire the necessary basic knowledge and will be able to refer to it throughout their career. In addition, basic knowledge of applied mathematics is provided for the formulation and solution of boundary value problems. Although the main focus of the book is on thin-walled structures, its contents can also be used in other areas of structural dynamics.

description:
The theory of statistical thermodynamics reproduces the macroscopic properties of matter based on the microscopic molecular interactions. This depends on the statistical laws which produce the complex behavior of the macroscopic systems from the simpler interaction potentials. The theory predicts the state laws, the mean molecular structure and the dynamics of matter. Conversely, the macroscopic data can be reduced to microscopic information such as the intermolecular potentials. The latter can be used for the calculation of other equilibrium and kinetic properties of matter. The theory is applied to molecular systems in equilibrium, such as the ideal and real gases, liquids, crystals, electron and phonon gases, quantum systems, etc
Similarly, the development of computer programming permits the simulation of thermodynamic systems with the calculation of the particle positions in time and their analysis based on statistical mechanics. This new approach for the calculation of macroscopic properties through molecular dynamics simulation and the stochastic Monte Carlo method is useful for the prediction of properties and the determination of microscopic interactions from experimental data.

description:
The science of Pharmacy is recognized through its history, unfolding the main achievements in the time and place they occurred, as well as the creators. In a didactic and not an encyclopedic book, such as the present one, it is not appropriate to record all names and facts, but only the main ones. The goal is to know the evolution of our science from the first medicines instinctively discovered by the man in his natural environment up to modern biotechnological drugs. In the present e-book the achievements of great researchers, who lived in earlier periods and had a deep knowledge of the healing means of their time are described. History, as knowledge, has the advantage of broadening the image of the world and society beyond our immediate surroundings.
Also, many elements of Ethnopharmacology have been included, concerning the use of natural drugs in antiquity and today.
As there is a sequence of events, studies and discoveries, which contribute to the development of the Pharmacy, it is not easy to divide periods, but for purely didactic reasons without really being any dividing lines from one period to the next, the history of Pharmacy is presented in 4 large sections, each one referring to specific centuries, peoples and people with great achievements.

description: The book is written in English and explores the phenomenon of terrorism and its manifestations through the study of literary, philosophical, and political texts written during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. An important aspect of the book is the exploration of the relationship between literature and literary discourse in general, as aesthetic and political/rhetorical tools, and the concept of terrorism. In the context of this investigation, questions are raised concerning the relationship between aesthetics and terrorism, such as whether terrorism can be viewed through a literary lens (or even as literature). The role of aesthetics in the planning of terrorist acts and in the representation of terrorists and terrorist groups is also explored. Is aesthetics a political act or expression in terrorism? What is the role of the media in terrorism? Terrorist groups have a literary and philosophical discourse, and how is this linked to the "politics"of violence? An important question that arises is whether a responsible attitude towards such extreme forms of violence precludes aesthetic and literary discourse. The relationship between art and terrorism is also explored, and whether the former contains elements that refer (even metaphorically) to the latter, and vice versa. Contemporary and older writers who touch on the subject of terrorism are studied, for example, Joseph Conrad, George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, John Updike, Don De Lillo, in conjunction with philosophical texts by writers of the 18th century (Kant, Burke), the 20th and 21st centuries (Zizek, Lyotard, Baudrillard, etc.), as well as through references to real terrorist acts that have marked the course of the planet.

en: Engineering Sciences

description:
This handbook presents basic knowledge on Human Factors and Ergonomics, and it is mainly addressed to students of Engineering Schools. Two categories of knowledge are included: (i) knowledge about human capabilities to interact with the working environment to accomplish goals, and the results of this interaction to the worker (e.g. capabilities to adopt postures and apply forces and their effects to human health, capabilities to perceive information and possible errors), (ii) methodological knowledge on how we can intervene in a work situation to assure and improve human well-being, enhance productivity and minimise negative effects, such as workload (physical and cognitive), accidents and human errors. The interventions may be design or re-design of material and nonmaterial artefacts (e.g., tools, human-machine interfaces, work procedures, software, training programs).
After an introduction to the discipline of Human Factors and Ergonomics, a generic model of work situations and the process of ergonomics work analysis, based on system’s approach, are presented. The following chapters deal with what is usually called Physical Ergonomics, i.e., anthropometrics and biomechanics, musculoskeletal activity, and the design of workplaces and tools. Τhe next chapters deal with the parameters of work environment (i.e., temperature, noise, lightening), the physiology of human thermal regulation, audition and vision, methods for assessing environmental parameters, and means to alleviate their negative effects. The second part of the handbook deals with what is usually called Cognitive Ergonomics. A chapter on elements of cognitive activity (e.g., perception, problem solving, decision-making) and related models (e.g. action cycle, SRK model) serve as the base for the next chapter on the design of artefacts to support cognitive work (e.g., human-machine interfaces, human-computer interfaces, software to support complex cognitive work). The final chapter deals with the human error and ways to enhance human reliability.

description: The laboratory guide is an attempt to reconstruct the structure of the tissues and organs of the body of aquatic animal organisms as seen under the optical microscope. A summary of the characteristics of the main phyla of invertebrate animal organisms and chordates is presented first. Emphasis is placed on the taxonomic groups of aquatic animals, especially those of particular applied (ichthyological) interest (fish, amphibians, sponges, cnidarians, molluscs, echinoderms). Methods for the production of histological sections are presented, as well as simple techniques for mounting and observation under the optical microscope. The basic equipment of a histology laboratory is briefly described. The third part of the book consists of eight laboratory exercises. For each exercise the subject matter, the educational objectives, the teaching hours required to complete it and the laboratory equipment are indicated. A brief introduction to theoretical concepts is given, followed by instructions for carrying out the experimental part of the exercise. Finally, instructions are given for recording and evaluating the results and a worksheet is provided for the students to hand in. The laboratory exercises are divided into two categories: those in which the students produce the microscopic preparations themselves for observation and those in which the students practice only in the optical microscopy room by studying prepared preparations. In all sections there are visual aids and photographs. The images are analysed comparatively in the accompanying explanatory text in order to provide the necessary information for understanding the microscopic structure of the body and physiological functions.

description: This book examines the role of images in the discourse of prehistoric archaeology in Greece. Special emphasis is given to the architectural illustrations in final prehistoric site reports and, specifically, to the importance of linear drawings (ground plans, sections, isometric drawings), free perspectives and reconstructions, and also to the special category of digital images. The following questions are of central importance: how much emphasis is given to the descriptive presentation and hown much to the synthesis and interpretation of architectural remains? How much detailed or abstract are the related images? How many are the technical drawings and how many are free reconstructions? How much emphasis is given to the vertical axis and the third dimension? What changes do digital applications bring to the archaeological research process? The book also examines the participation of specialised personnel (architects, topographers, draughtspersons, graphics specialists etc.) to the study and illustration of architecture, the available technical means and, finally, the number and the relation of images to the texts of their respective publications. Thus, it is possible to pinpoint the epistemological choices of different researchers. The book comprises the first part of the overall examination of this topic. It covers the history of research, deals with the theory of the relation between image and language and presents the main types of drawings and digital images in archaeological publications. Then, it examines the role of such images in the publications of the travellers of the 18th and 19th century; in the work of four research pioneers, namely Heinrich Schliemann, Wilhelm Dörpfeld, Christos Tsountas and Arthur Evans; and finally, in the prehistoric site reports in the Aegean from the end of the 19th century to the 1950s.

description: This book will include material that goes beyond a typical "Discrete Mathematics" course as mostly taken by students in Computer Science departments. It will start with the basic concepts of Set Theory and Logic, to a level which will allow their easier use later in the course)and without particular emphasis on difficult theorems (but the diagonal argument that serves both the concept of countability and computability will be discussed). Some basic concepts of Number Theory will follow (divisibility, analysis into primes, Euclidean algorithm, calculations with remainders). Concepts and techniques of enumeration in Combinatorics occupy the first important section of the course and are followed by the next section which are the central concepts of Graph theory (degrees, connectivity, colorings, bipartite graphs, matchings in bipartite graphs and duality, trees, basic algorithms).After the introduction to combinatorial enumeration, the concept of discrete probability, random variables and their mean value are introduced which enable us to give many applications to non-probabilistic (and algorithmic) problems. Additional material includes elements of the theory of formal languages: regular languages, deterministic and non-deterministic automata, algorithms for automata. This material must be considered as outside the basic course of Discrete Mathematics and as additional material to which the teacher can move if circumstances allow it or needs require it.

description:
This Fourier Analysis book is intended to cover a semester-long undergraduate course
in what is commonly called classical Fourier analysis with an emphasis on periodic functions (Fourier analysis on the circle, as we usually say). At the undergraduate level, one cannot usually rely on knowledge of Lebesgue measure and integration
and one usually relies on the Riemann integral, a choice which is rewarded with several, otherwise unnecessary, technicalities in the presentation and also with modifications of proofs which look very unnatural. For these reasons, we have opted for the first chapter of the book to be a quick introduction to Lebesgue measure and integration, without most technical proofs (which one sees when taking a regular course on Lebesgue measure) but with an emphasis on how to use the integral and acquaintance with the <<normal>> properties and the good behaviour of the Lebesgue integral are the reasons for which it is used. The desired result of the first chapter is, in other words, for the student to learn to use the Lebesgue integral without necessarily having gone through its strict foundation (hence the title <<User Manual>>). We hope that this user manual can be useful in other analysis courses as well or courses in differential equations, beyond Fourier analysis. The book covers the basic concepts of the Fourier series with the central question the question of the convergence of the Fourier series of a function to the function itself.

description: The aim of this book is, on the one hand, to help students understand the basic concepts and methods relating to the broader scientific field of ship stability dynamics and, on the other hand, to provide an in-depth study of the design and operational issues associated with the risk of a ship capsizing. The basic concepts of ship static and dynamic stability are introduced in their historical context. Both the theoretical perspective, starting from a general consideration of the stability of dynamic systems, and the scientific basis and interpretation of regulations are covered. The fundamental mechanisms, based on the dynamics of the system under consideration, that can lead a ship operating in high waves to large angles of heel or even capsize are analyzed. Parametric instability, authentic loss of stability, nonlinear resonance in transverse waves, and the so-called broaching-to instability are analyzed. Design and operational options for avoiding instability are proposed. The so-called "weather criterion," which is the basic stability criterion applied in practice, is critically analyzed. Both the stability of the ship in its intact form and after damage are studied, and the application of probabilistic methods for estimating the achieved safety level is analyzed.

description: When it comes to forestry and related fields, forest biometry is among the most important areas of expertise. It deals with the measurements on trees and forests and with the statistical analysis of the subsequent data. This book has been written for students of forestry and for forestry practitioners. Due to the significant influence of statistics on forest measurement methods and techniques, as well as the vital role of sampling techniques, fundamental concepts in statistics are reviewed and reassessed. Examining the spatial structure and diversity, as well as adding a chapter on conventional and digital remote sensing, were both considered imperative. Numerous practical examples are included in this edition, which are considered particularly useful for students. Additional information on specific topics has been added for the benefit of skilled readers.

description: The textbook seeks to provide an introduction, both theoretical and practical, to literary translation, which has always played a major role in the contact between cultures and in the formation of world literature, in the terms Goethe defined. He begins by situating translation as a phenomenon and practice in the context of literature and culture on the basis of the multisystem model and in the context of descriptive translation studies, after defining it in terms of the various translation theories. It examines the norms governing the systems and the strategies they entail, which are presented with an emphasis on their ethical dimension in relation to the treatment of the Other. With examples of texts coming from five different languages, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and occasionally some others, such as Russian, students become familiar with the concept of strategy before moving on to the text itself, its integration into the author's body and its analysis. Defining the text as a unit of translation, the textbook examines the relationship between text, cultural and linguistic contexts and intertextuality as a dialogue of texts, genres and cultures. It presents techniques for recontextualizing (or reframing) the cultural element and the text as a whole. Finally, it moves on to the specific examination of the different genres with their sub-genres, prose, poetry, and theatre. The final chapter returns to the original discussion of the definition and boundaries of literary translation, opening the field to works that are not purely literary, but which translation studies, in the past, have, for various reasons, included in literary translation.

Quality and uses of wood

keywords: Relations “structure of wood/other factors - wood quality”

description: This textbook refers to quality and uses of wood that is the main product of productive forests. Wood is a unique biological material utilized to a variety of products and wooden structures. The quality of unprocessed wood (round wood) is considered as a vital prerequisite for the production of qualitative final products after primary and secondary processing. The quality of wood is related to the particular structure and properties of each forest species and to the presence of defects. A special reference is made about the existed close relation of wood structure and chemical composition with quality, behavior and uses of wood. Wood has certain similarities amongst forest species, however significant differences, also, exist differentiating the quality and the degree of suitability of each wood for a variety of uses. The various species are not equally suitable for all kinds of uses and, hence, every wood species has to be considered and investigated as different material. The good and exact knowledge of wood structure, properties and behavior are necessary in order the selection of wood species for each kind of use to be successful. The presence and intensity of defects lower the quality of wood and have a great significance in the way of wood utilization affecting the degree of wood suitability to certain uses. Moreover, the main characteristics of structure and the properties of most commercial timbers used worldwide as well as their uses are presented. The commercial value of each wood species depends on its availability, quality and suitability for a number of uses. Softwood and hardwood species with significant commercial importance on world basis are included.

description: This textbook of legal history presents the course of the basic institutions of public and private law from antiquity to the twentieth century. The sources of law in each period, the forms of constitutional organization and the mechanisms of administering justice are presented, and information is given on the organization of the family and property relations. In antiquity, in parallel with the Greek legal orders of cities and kingdoms, Rome developed a law which would form the basis of legal science. The law of the Greek city-states spread after Alexander the Great's campaign in the Hellenistic East. With the Roman conquest, Greek and Roman law came together, especially after the granting of Roman citizenship to all free inhabitants of the Empire (212 AD). Factors such as the transfer of the capital to Constantinople, the prevalence of the Greek language in the East, and Christianity influenced the transformation of the law into Byzantine law, which survived even in the centuries of the Latin and Turkish occupation. The modern Greek state institutionalised the application of Byzantine law, while at the same time introducing institutions in line with the new social requirements and following European standards. A comprehensible textbook on the history of law is therefore necessary for law students, who, by studying the historical development of law, can better understand the functioning of modern institutions. But it goes beyond the limits of training a group of professionals because it is also useful to students of other disciplines, such as political science, history, archaeology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, etc. In all these fields it offers an interpretative tool for understanding the institutions and legal sources that are the subject of their own studies.

description: Tourism is an activity of significant economic interest, both in terms of entrepreneurship and at the national level. Today, there is significant competition, both between similar tourism businesses and between different tourist regions. Based on the premise that the most important asset of any tourism business is its employees, the scientific "management of tourism business personnel" is the most important factor for their survival in a constantly changing market. Management is a recently scientifically developed subject, which is only a century old. The importance of personnel management is enormous, because it has unlimited political implications, involves environmental issues, is responsible for the financial results and longevity of businesses, and deals with issues related to employee remuneration and, consequently, human well-being. Beyond the historical approach to the subject and the analysis of the basic concepts related to management, an effort is made to identify the specific characteristics of tourism businesses and examine the role that these characteristics can play in the management work in each case. This paper aims to serve the study of human resource management in tourism businesses based on modern concepts, in order to contribute to the progress and economic development of the enterprise and to help better serve the ever-growing travel public and its multiple tourism demands.

description: The book deals with problems of non-linear behaviour of structures, and the implications of this behaviour on the indicated methods of structural analysis and the design of these structures. Emphasis is placed on problems of flexible structures, where the main form of nonlinearity is geometric, i.e. due to large displacements. However, reference is also made to problems of material nonlinearity and the interaction of these two types of nonlinearity. The main application is the various types of buckling, elastic or inelastic, mainly involving steel structures. A balance is sought in the book between developing a theoretical background and practicing applied analysis and designing methods. An analytical approach for simple structures is followed first, aiming at a qualitative understanding of the concepts and problems, and then a numerical approach using the finite element method to address these problems in complex, real-world structures, both from research problems and practical applications.

description: This book addresses issues related to learning disabilities (LD), starting from the premise that students with LD can achieve both academically and socially, provided they receive appropriate, timely, and effective instructional interventions. It is divided into seven chapters. The first two chapters focus on the fundamental concepts, definitions, and theoretical approaches found in international literature, which represent significant topics of discussion and scientific debate in the field of LD. The third chapter discusses multi-tiered teaching, while the following, fourth chapter, explores methods for supporting students with LD in general education classrooms, emphasizing differentiated instructional modifications and adaptations to make the curriculum more accessible to all students. The next two chapters emphasize teaching and learning strategies for core academic subjects—reading, writing, and mathematics—to enhance learning effectiveness and school success. The final, seventh chapter provides practical material for both special educators working in inclusion units, KEDDY (now KEDASY) (Centers for Differential Diagnosis, Diagnosis, and Support of Special Educational Needs), and EDEAY (now EDY) (Interdisciplinary Support Committees for Schools), as well as for mainstream classroom teachers. This chapter includes diagnostic tools, instructional plans, and intervention strategies while recommending best practices and supporting the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Each chapter is grounded in both international and Greek literature, adhering to scientific and ethical standards, making the book suitable as supporting material for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. At the end of each chapter, comprehension questions are provided, along with relevant answers, to facilitate learning and self-assessment.

description: This course has been given for a number of years at the graduate level including elasticity. It was subsequently established as an undergraduate course in the hydrodynamics department. Students who took it continue on to graduate school and several are pursuing related specialties. It is aimed mainly at students of physics and mathematics and differs from similar books (for mathematicians and engineers) in that it emphasizes physical understanding. Its core is the basic principles of conservation (mass, momentum, energy, etc.) expressed in terms of the field concept. The operators of differential calculus are introduced and related to physical quantities of flow. Indeed, the connection with other fields, e.g. electromagnetism, acts very positively and bidirectionally. The first chapters use the tools of vector calculus familiar to fourth-year students, so that the basic laws are developed without mathematical complexity. The concept of tensors is introduced before the chapter on viscous flow, where they are essential, so the student is already familiar with the philosophy, the description of the field, and the basic laws expressed for microscopic and macroscopic systems. Several examples of creeping viscous flow and a review of energy follow. An important chapter is dimensional analysis, a tool essential in approaches to hydrodynamics. Particular emphasis is given to surface waves, where the restoring force is gravity. Much of the anisodic flow refers to incompressible and turbulent flow, and therefore we have a chapter on the determination of the velocity field from the vorticity field, where the dynamic interaction of vortices is also studied. We also add a chapter on compressible flow and convection currents, as well as hydrodynamic instabilities. In the latter the emphasis is on a brief introduction to the concept of stability and on understanding the physical role of omitted terms leading to instability.

description: This electronic textbook attempts to fill a gap in Greek literature on the symbiotic relationship between human life and radiation. From conception to death, humans are subject to direct and indirect radiation from a variety of sources, such as alpha, beta, and gamma radiation from radon and its derivatives, protons, mesons, gamma and electromagnetic radiation from the universe, as well as alpha, beta, and gamma radiation from various environmental radioisotopes in the air, water, soil, building materials, and the human body. Background radiation, also known as the Natural Radiation Environment (NREV), varies with human influence, such as the mining and processing of natural uranium and the use of lignite. Added to this is the impact from sources originating from technological and military uses, nuclear accidents (Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima), nuclear testing, the use of depleted uranium and, more generally, the development of nuclear technology. Electromagnetic radiation from power transmission pylons, telecommunications, radar and radio can now also be considered as sources of NREV. In particular, the last few decades have seen a dramatic increase in the number of mobile phone base stations due to the widespread use of mobile phones. Special mention should be made of the medical uses of radiation in radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiotherapy. Additional sources of radiation include other applications such as spa treatments and cave visits. The energy deposited in the human body by radiation poses risks that are quantified on the basis of dosimetry and epidemiology studies of highly exposed populations.

Methodology Of Research
Statistics

description:
In the health sciences, research is an essential component of graduate and postgraduate teaching programs. Consequently, students pursuing courses in a variety of health science disciplines must possess a fundamental understanding of research methodology and biostatistics. Furthermore, healthcare practitioners, including physicians, nurses, and other personnel engaged in patient care, can enhance the quality of their services by acquiring a pragmatic understanding of research methodology. This understanding enables them to assess the preliminary literature and implement evidence-based patient care more effectively.
Over the last few decades, the quantity of published medical literature has increased rapidly. Concurrently, there has been a substantial surge in the number of statistical tests, techniques, and computer software employed in research. Consequently, health sciences students must stay abreast of biostatistics advancements to enhance their comprehension of the published literature and determine the most applicable statistical test or technique for a given circumstance.
This book uses minimal mathematical and statistical formulaic expressions to make research methodology and biostatistics accessible to the public. It provides an overview of the fundamental concepts and formulas that underpin these tests and their utilization in a critical evaluation of the scientific literature without delving into their statistical intricacies.
The book is roughly divided into two sections: the initial one elucidates the fundamental tenets of research methodology, while the subsequent one covers the basic concepts of biostatistics. This book is designed to assist students enrolled in health science courses -medicine, nursing, dentistry, pharmaceutical sciences, physiotherapy, and other allied disciplines- in comprehending research methodology and biostatistics concepts. Additionally, this resource is designed for researchers across diverse health sciences disciplines who are actively engaged in scholarly endeavors. It will function as a convenient point of reference for the instructors overseeing their work. We trust that this book fulfills its intended function of assisting readers in comprehending the fundamental principles of biostatistics and research methodology through an approachable format, enabling them to apply these principles in their scholarly and vocational endeavors.

description: The book focuses on the presentation of Laser Physics, i.e. the physics that describes and explains the principles of laser operation, within the framework of a semester-long course lasting thirteen weeks, with three hours of teaching per week, in a Physics Department, and/or an Electrical Engineering Department, and/or a Materials Science Department. The level of the textbook assumes that the reader has already been exposed to and is familiar with and understands the following courses: Wave Physics, Optics, Electromagnetism, Elements (at least) of Quantum Mechanics, and an introductory course in Atomic/Molecular Physics. In any case, particular emphasis is placed on highlighting the physics of the various properties of laser radiation and the operating parameters of various laser devices. A relatively extensive chapter is devoted to the physics of the production, amplification and measurement of short laser pulses (femtosecond lasers), due to the enormous interest they have attracted in recent years in many areas of modern technology and basic research. The last chapter provides a brief introduction to the most important nonlinear optical phenomena and the generation of harmonic frequencies as a result of nonlinear interactions between light and matter. We note that, to the best of our knowledge, the Greek-language literature on these last two chapters is extremely limited, if not non-existent.

description: The book is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, but also to professionals who wish to deepen their knowledge of both the theoretical background of supply chain science and practical examples of its application in the new modern environment of sustainability and sustainability requirements. Logistics as a science encompasses the movement and management of products from production to consumption at the lowest possible cost (cost minimization). The need for this has been intensified by the development of competitive conditions among companies to produce competitive products (quality, prices, functionality, etc.) and customer service. From the subject matter of logistics, it is clear that this is essentially a management method known as "Supply Chain Management (SCM)".

description:
Building Physics, as a scientific discipline, examines the mechanisms of interaction of the building with the environment, as well as the mechanisms of shaping the living conditions inside it. Therefore, it covers part of the knowledge used in Environmental Architectural Design to ensure satisfactory indoor comfort and hygiene conditions with the minimum possible consumption of non-renewable energy.
The book is organized into three sections. The first section describes the basic characteristics of the natural environment and the impact on it of anthropogenic activities. The second section includes chapters from Building Physics, concerning the management of basic environmental parameters, such as solar radiation, temperature, humidity, wind, indoor air pollution, noise, in relation to the effects on buildings and the consequences of these effects on the formation of conditions inside them. The third section examines in general the integration of the building into its environment, natural and man-made. Reference is made to the inverse effects, i.e., those that the building exerts on the environment, both direct and wider, and in particular those that are related to its behavior as an energy consumer. In this context, the applications of Renewable Energy Sources in buildings are also examined.

description:
The book aims to become a tool for undergraduate and postgraduate students at the School of Rural and Surveying Engineers (NTUA) for urban planning practices. It focuses on describing the methods and tools in planning a city in a comprehensive and interactive way. The book has a 'handbook' approach in order for the reader to understand the various planning levels, the procedures and stages of planning studies, the many institutional bodies responsible for each development stage as well as their competences.

Meanwhile the analysis is extensive in terms of reporting the current institutional framework required for the implementation of each planning procedure (at the urban level) and there is a short review regarding the historical background that shaped the current urban environment. Various factors that determine the planning processes are also considered, such as socio-economical, demographical, morphological, climate features etc.

description: Man and music have been inextricably linked since ancient times [1]. Nowadays, there is a shift in the distribution of music information to the format of digital files due to the spectacular spread of computer playback systems, the expansion of digital distribution networks and the trend of the music industry. Ordinary users can now have collections of several tens or even hundreds of thousands of music tracks, while online music libraries [2][3] may have several tens of millions. Subsequently, the necessity of efficient management of these musical data is evident, a fact confirmed by the particularly intense activity of the international research community [4] in this field. In addition to the necessary theoretical framework, the book will also include complete Matlab programming source code in its individual topics.[1] Politis, D. (2007).

description: The increasing importance attached to the role of public participation in pursuing sustainability objectives and managing crucial environmental problems, reflects the conviction that citizens and stakeholders can, under certain conditions, constitute agents of change for coping with contemporary societal challenges. Participatory planning approaches are nowadays gaining importance in the light of the radical social, economic, cultural, environmental, technological and other developments, reflecting citizens’ and stakeholders’ request to be part of decision-making processes as to the management of resources. This request is mainly related to transparency and adoption of more democratic decision-making processes, but also to issues of legitimization and validity of decisions made. <br/>The scope of the present book is to offer the educational material needed for teaching participatory approaches in planning in a range of scientific disciplines. The aim is to contribute, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view, to the upgrading of knowledge of young scientists on participatory planning issues, rendering them agents of change towards the wide adoption of these approaches. At the same time, its ambition is to increase their awareness and educate them in their role as active citizens, ‘cells’ of a new participatory culture in the Greek society. Finally, the book targets all those who are interested in participatory planning (policy makers, decision makers, urban and regional planners, environmentalists, local administration etc.), aiming to offer a ‘guide’ for better grasping the issues but also the value of participatory approaches, which can be implemented in a wide range of planning issues, in various scientific disciplines and at various spatial scales.

description: The present electronic book contains six chapters. The first chapter is introductory and refers to the geomorphology and ecology of the rivers. In the second chapter, the term “river regulation” is analytically explained and dimensioning methods for the cross sections of a river under regulation are given. In the third chapter, hydraulic structures, through which the river or stream regulation is attained, are presented. Apart from the regulation hydraulic structures, complementary structures for the fish passage to the upstream of a river are described. The fourth chapter includes river hydraulics, namely natural open channel hydraulics. In concrete terms, computational methods are analyzed, which are applied to the regulation hydraulic structures mentioned in the previous chapter. In the fifth chapter, as a kind of appendix, basic knowledges about sediments and sediment transport are delivered that are absolutely related to river hydraulics and river hydraulic structures. Finally, the sixth chapter contains an arithmetic example concerning the topographic and hydraulic study of a check dams cascade. The computations in this example are relied on basic knowledges of the third, fourth and fifth chapters. The electronic book addresses mainly undergraduate and postgraduate students of Civil Engineering, Rural and Surveying Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Agriculture and Forestry Departments, as well as practice engineers. Of course, the book cannot replace the experience required for the study of a river hydraulic structure; however, it contributes to the confrontation with technical problems in rivers.

description: The textbook seeks to provide the necessary theoretical and technical background for the analysis, design and implementation of automatic control systems for processes and systems (linear and non-linear). In particular, the material is devoted to modeling and dynamic analysis of system behaviour and the design of controllers, analog and digital, to achieve the desired dynamics. For a more comprehensive presentation of the subject, modern techniques based on technical intelligence, in particular fuzzy systems, have been included in the syllabus. By its very nature, the development and understanding of the subject matter makes the use of computers for both simulation and controller design a prerequisite. In this direction the book is accompanied by typical examples in Matlab environment for the students' practice. The book can be used at both undergraduate and postgraduate level with appropriate division of the material. Each chapter includes the main bibliography where the interested reader can refer to for further deepening and expansion on the specific material.

description: The book/textbook can be used by advanced undergraduate students of physics departments in courses related to the study of our Galaxy, other galaxies, and, in general, large-scale structures of the universe beyond our Galaxy. Great emphasis is given on helping readers to understand the physical processes that shape phenomena in our own and other galaxies, as well as on studying the evolution of large-scale structures in the universe and, beyond that, of the universe as a whole. The structure of the book will follow the hierarchy of the structures of the universe: after an introductory chapter, it starts with the study of our Galaxy, followed by a study of the morphology, dynamics, and evolution of other galaxies (a separate chapter is devoted to a particularly important class of galaxies, the "active galaxies"). The study then focuses on the structures of the universe on an even larger spatial scale: galaxy clusters and superclusters. The last two chapters are devoted to cosmology, i.e., the study of matter as a unified whole on the largest possible scales of space and time. A separate appendix provides a comprehensive bibliography, tables of physical and astronomical constants, and a collection of useful web addresses. The level of the textbook is advanced undergraduate and is adressed to students who have completed the basic physics and mathematics courses usually offered by physics departments in the first two years of studies. No special knowledge of introductory astronomy/astrophysics is required to study the book, as the necessary background information is provided in the first (introductory) chapter.
