Investigation of parameters affecting the travel time at tramway systems: the case of Athens, Greece

Within the framework of this paper, various parameters that might affect the efficiency and the reliability of a tramway system are examined. Two linear regression models are built in order to investigate the way these parameters are affecting the commercial speed and the travel time deviation, respectively. The case study is the tramway of Athens which operates since the 2004 Olympic Games. Al...

On extreme daily precipitation totals at Athens, Greece

The paper studies changes in daily precipitation records at the National Observatory, Athens, during the period 1891–2004. This is the longest available time series of precipitation for Greece. The results show that both the shape and scale parameter of a fitted two parameter gamma distribution for the last two decades do show a significant difference of these parameters, when compared to any p...

Evagelismos General Hospital of Athens

Despite great technical advances over the last decades, cardiac pacing is still associated with a significant rate of complications mostly ascribed to the pacing leads. Leads are susceptible to mechanical stress, whether transvenous or epicardial, and constitute the pacing component most prone to failure; they are the major contributor to complications, may cause vascular obstruction, and other...
