Market Imperfections and Price Rigidities - a Case Study of the Greek Manufacturing Industry
(2016-09-27)
This study investigates the market conditions under which the Greek manufacturing sectors operate, and provides a formal measurement and determination of the observed degree of rigidity in nominal prices using panel modelling ...
Bodily Pleasure and the Self: Experimental, Pharmacological and Clinical Studies on Affective Touch
(2016-09-27)
In the last decade, neuroscience and psychology alike have paid increasing attention to the study of affective touch, which refers to the emotional and motivational facets of tactile sensation. Some aspects of affective ...
Optimal Cooperative Spectrum Sensing for Cognitive Radio

The rapid increasing interest in wireless communication has led to the continuous development of wireless devices and technologies. The modern convergence and interoperability of wireless technologies has further increased ...
Feasibility Study of Connecting Nuclear Generation to the National Electricity Transmission System via HVDC Technology
(2016-09-01)
High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology has never before been used to connect a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) directly to the National Electricity Transmission System (NETS). There are both technical and economic factors ...
M Dwarfs from the SDSS, 2MASS and WISE Surveys: Identification, Characterisation and Unresolved Ultracool Companionship
(2016-09-01)
The aim of this thesis is to use a cross-match between WISE, 2MASS and SDSS to identify a large sample of M dwarfs. Through the careful characterisation and quality control of these M dwarfs I aim to identify rare systems ...
Design and Analysis of an Energy Efficient Dehumidification System for Drying Applications
(2016-08-26)
The motivation of this research project was in response to problems of re-condensation in drying, reduced drying rate encountered by the food and beverage packaging industry which led to the aim of developing a better ...
Accretion Modes, AGN Feedback and Star Formation
(2016-08-23)
I study mid-infrared and star formation properties of AGN samples using infrared observations, and star-forming galaxies using radio observations in order to investigate the link between star formation, AGN activity and ...
The Rotation of the Halo of NGC 6822 Determined From the Radial Velocities of Carbon Stars
(2016-08-22)
The kinematics of stars in galaxies is becoming a key means to understand the dynamics of galaxies, their formation and merger history. For many years, kinematics has been measured using integrated field techniques in the ...
Wind Shielding Analysis for Cold Regions Using Experimental and Numerical Techniques
(2016-08-16)
The thesis presents a systematic experimental and numerical study on the interactions among porous fence, airflow, and windblown snowdrifts, a knowledge that will contribute to optimize the performance of porous wind ...
