	CHARACTERIZATION OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS OF DAFNI WALL MOSAICS IN ATHENS, GREECE
		Glass tesserae of different colours and small parts of setting mortar were collected during the conservation study of the mosaics from the Dafni Monastery and analyzed in order to determine their chemical composition and production technology.
		Glass tesserae from Dafni are soda-lime-silica glasses of natron type, while they owe their colour to different concentrations of iron, copper and manganese oxide.
		Compositional and technological characteristics derived from the analytical procedure can correlate to the decay agents and the environmental conditions of the monument in order to understand and describe the causes and the mechanism of mosaics deterioration.

	Algorithm for Statistical Detection of Peaks --- Syndromic Surveillance System for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games
		A standardized residual series was generated by omitting trends and noise in the original data series; this series was examined for the presence of peaks (i.e., points having magnitude higher than at least one of three probabilistically determined cutoffs).
		The Athens 2004 Olympic Games (August 13--29, 2004) have made critical the need for a real-time surveillance system that can alert public health officials to unexpected communicable-disease outbreaks and likely clinical presentations of a biologic terrorist attack, as has been used for other major athletic events (13--17).
		The original 13-month time series for four major hospitals in metropolitan Athens sharing the same catchment area for the respiratory infection with fever and gastroenteritis (diarrhea, vomit) without blood syndromes were used to illustrate and evaluate the proposed method.

		The idea for a metro was first perceived in the 1950s, and the plans called for an underground line starting from the main Athens railway station (Larissa Station) to Syntagma, where it would fork into two branches, one to Faliro and Glyfada and the other to Ambelokipi.
		A basic question asked about Athens metro is how the construction of such a large project would not affect the city's vivid historic nature, as it is taking place in the most interesting locations of classical times.
		A vast number of boreholes were performed prior and during the construction period drawing valuable conclusions over the geophysical and geotectonical features of the subsoil and the presence of water.
