Assessment of leachability of harmful components from alternative fuels prepared with the use of sewage sludge / Ocena wymywalności szkodliwych składników z paliw alternatywnych wytworzonych z osadów ściekowych
Authors: Wzorek Małgorzata 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Fuels, inclusive of those produced with the use of wastes, must usually be stored before their combustion or co-combustion in industrial processes. When stored outside, the fuels are exposed to adverse atmospheric impacts. The fuel quality may get worse then and fuel components which may be environmentally harmful may be leached out as well. The paper presents the assessment of potential environmental threads which result from the storage of fuels which have been produced with the use of municipal sewage sludge and other components, ie fuel made of the sewage sludge and coal slurry (PBS fuel), fuel made of the sewage sludge and meat-and-bone meal (PBM fuel), and that obtained with the use of the sewage sludge and sawdust (PBT fuel). Leachability of environmentally harmful components was studied, with special attention paid to heavy metals. Four methods were employed to evaluate the pollutant leachability levels; different environmental conditions were simulated in those methods. The studies and analyses demonstrated that the temporary surface dumping of PBS, PBM and PBT fuels was safe from the viewpoint of leaching of the harmful component to soil and/or water courses.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of various forms of sunflower oil in the diet with protein degraded at different rates in the rumen on pancreatic juice secretion and activity. The experiment was conducted on 24 adult Corriedale rams weighing about 40 ± 1.5 kg, catheterized in the pancreatic and bile ducts and fistulated in the duodenum. The animals were fed diets consisting of meadow hay, potato starch, different degradable protein (casein or maize gluten, a source of zein) and different forms of sunflower oil (calcium salts, seeds and oil). It was stated that addition of various forms of fat to the diet did not significantly influence the secretion of pancreatic juice, regardless of the source of protein. However, sunflower seeds and oil used in the diet had a significant effect on bile secretion, protein content, proteolytic activity of trypsin and plasma lipid indices. No significant differences were observed in the lipolytic activity of the pancreatic juice, although lipase activity was higher when zein was used as the main protein source. It was concluded that dietary addition of certain combinations of protected or unprotected sunflower oil and different degradable protein may improve pancreatic activity and probably affect plasma lipid indices in sheep.

Authors: Gąsior Robert , Pietras Mariusz P. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The aim of the study was to validate a gas chromatographic method for determining cholesterol in egg yolks according to the EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard. Of the two methods, with and without internal standard, the former was characterized by lower uncertainty, with a repeatability of 4% and within-laboratory reproducibility of 6%. The method’s uncertainty (n = 2, P≤0.05), which included sample preparation errors and chromatographic measurement errors, was 10.6%. Mean recovery was 99.9% and limit of quantification was 0.16 mg/g. The coefficient of variation for repeatability, which is calculated during routine analyses, should not exceed the 8% limit of repeatability. The method is reliable, as confirmed by the results of validation, and the procedure is relatively rapid and simple.
Impact of soil compaction on root development and yield of meadow-grass
Authors: Głąb T. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The field experiment was carried out on a smoothstalked meadow-grass to analyse the effect of tractor traffic on herbage production and root morphology. The multiple passes of tractor changed physical properties of soil. Increase in bulk density and penetration resistance of soil under smooth-stalked meadow-grass was recorded up to the depth of 30 cm. The tractor traffic resulted in changes in smooth-stalked meadow-grass yields. During the second and the third harvest it was found that wheel traffic decreased plant yields. For the first harvest the opposite effect in herbage production was noticed. The tractor traffic significantly changed the root morphometric properties in the upper, 0-5 cm, soil layer. Intensive tractor traffic (four and six passes) significantly increased the root length in diameter range of 0.1-0.5 mm. There were no differences in both mean root diameter and specific root length what indicated that traffic treatment applied did not change the root diameter. The results indicate that smooth-stalked meadow-grass could be recommended for compacted soils when intensive traffic is present.

Abstract
In this paper we proposed a multiobjective optimization model for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The proposed model optimized several objectives, simultaneously. Indeed, by starting from a generic configuration we found new location for sensors, that the network have appropriate performance in terms of energy consumption and travelled distance. For the monotony of energy consumption and life time of sensors, the rate of energy consumption in each stage have been associated the previous stage. Through a series of calculations the behavior of the proposed model has been compared with other one-objective models.
Effect of Water Glass Modification on Its Viscosity and Wettability of Quartz Grains
Authors: Kmita A. , Hutera B. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to develop a modifier for water glass. The method of thermal generation of metal oxide nanoparticles was adapted and used in the research. Nanoparticles of ZnO from the thermal decomposition of basic zinc carbonate were used. A method for the modifier introduction was developed, and the effect of modifier content and organic solvent type on the physico-chemical properties of binder (viscosity) and quartz wettability was determined. Binder viscosity was examined from the flow curves plotted with the help of a RHEOTEST 2 rotational rheometer equipped with proper software. Quartz wettability was determined examining timerelated changes in the value of the contact angle in a quartz-binder system, until full stabilisation of the angle value has been achieved. Binder modification was carried out on sodium water glass designated as R"145". The water glass modifiers were suspensions of ZnO nanoparticles in propanol and methanol at a fixed concentration of c = 0.3 M and with the size of nanoparticles comprised in a range of <61 - 981 nm>. Water glass modification with the suspensions of ZnO nanoparticles in methanol and propanol showed the effect of modifier on the water glass viscosity and quartz wettability. This effect depends on the type of alcohol used. The ZnO suspension in propanol (alcohol with a longer hydrocarbon chain) affects more strongly the viscosity of binder and quartz wettability than the methanol suspension

The Dependence of Castings Quality Produced in Clay Moulding Mixtures from the Properties of Binder Based on a Montmorillonite
Authors: Vasková I. , Fecko D. , Malik J. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Casting quality depends on many factors including the quality of the input materials, technology, material securing and last but not least, the mould into which the casting is casted. By pouring into a single-shot mould, based mainly on 1st generation binders, is is a very important factor. Basically, a bentonite mixture represents either a three- or four-component system, but each component of the system is a heterogeneous substance. This heterogeneity punctuates mainly a non-stationary heat field, presented throughout the whole process of the casting production. The most important component is a binder and in the case of first generation binders mostly bentonites are used - clays that contain minimum of 80% of montmorillonite.

Published: May 2018

SUMMARY
The paranasal sinus mucocele is an epithelized cystic lesion containing fluid and is characterized by non-neoplastic expansion of the paranasal sinus due to its capacity to erode the overlying bone. Etiology of these lesions is still under debate. In this report, we described a case of a patient with frontal recess mucocele, associated with contralateral frontal recess osteoma. A 55-year-old man was admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of our hospital with the complaints of a headache affecting the fronto-ethmoidal region, left-sided nasal obstruction, and postnasal discharge. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the paranasal sinuses showed a dense bony lesion in the left and a cystic hypodense mass in the right-sided frontal recess. The patient was treated surgically, with a combined endoscopicexternal approach, bilaterally. Histopathological examination showed that the wall of the cyst was mucocele, and the bony formation was osteoma. The frontal recess osteoma is regarded as the primary condition. Thus, better ventilation and drainage of the frontal sinus were reestablished.

Abstract
A hydroponic study involving lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa L.) as a leafy vegetable was conducted to evaluate the 137Cs uptake and translocation in plant tissues in dependence on the presence or absence of K+ or/and NH4+ ions in cultivation media according to Hoagland (HM) during 8 d plants growth under hydroponic conditions. Significant increase of the 137Cs+ uptake by lettuce plants and the decrease of 137Cs+ translocation efficiency from roots to leaves were observed in 50 % HM deficient in K+ and NH4+ ions. Speciation analysis using Visual MINTEQ program showed that at micromolar concentration of CsCl (5 μmol/dm3) in 50 % HM at pH 6.0 and 25 °C, cesium was occurred practically only in the free cationic Cs+ form − 98.8 %, with minor proportions of other cesium species: CsCl − 0.4 %, CsNO3 − 0.4 %, and CsSO4 - − 0.4 %. Surplus of Cl-, NO3- and SO42- ions in HM causes the increase of proportions of the cesium species CsCl, CsNO3 and CsSO4-, respectively at the expense of bioavailable Cs+ form. Radiocesium 137Cs taken up via roots was removed from lettuce leaves with high efficiency by boiling in diluted NaCl solution. At ambient temperature the extraction of 137Cs with diluted acetic acid was concentration and time dependent process, and was succeeded by leakage of tissue components absorbing at 260 nm. These findings are important for the risk assessment of radiocesium entry into the food chain via contaminated leafy vegetable.

Published: May 2018

Objective: To evaluate change in faculty’s knowledge and perceptions after an online video module on the Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process (PPCP).
Innovation: An educational video module on the PPCP was developed and disseminated to full-time faculty members at Samford University, McWhorter School of Pharmacy. Voluntary and anonymous pre- and post-test assessments were evaluated and analyzed.
Critical Analysis: Thirty faculty completed the pre-assessment, and 31 completed the post-assessment (73% and 75% response rates, respectively). A significant improvement in faculty perceptions was indicated by an increase in agreement with the majority (80%) of questions on attitudes toward the PPCP on the post-test. Faculty’s knowledge of the introduction and assessment of PPCP within the school’s curriculum was significantly increased after viewing the video module. After viewing the module, more faculty were also able to correctly identify the majority of the PPCP components and their corresponding practice activities.
Next Steps: A short video module was effective at improving faculty knowledge and perceptions of the PPCP. Development of a similar faculty development module is feasible for implementation in other Schools of Pharmacy.

Revaluation of historical buildings with timber-concrete composite in compliance with fire resistance demands
Authors: Holschemacher Klaus , Quapp Ulrike 
Published: May 2018

The requirements concerning the guarantee of sufficient fire resistance of structures have significantly changed with time. Hence, when revaluating or reconstructing existing older or even historical buildings a decision about necessary measures for ensuring the demanded fire resistance is needed.Timber-concrete composite is a proven technology for reconstruction and strengthening of existing timber beam ceilings. Timber-concrete composite floors have a high load-bearing capacity and very advantageous building-physical properties like fire resistance and sound insulation. A further essential benefit is the circumstance that the bottom side of the timber beam floors may be unchanged in the reconstruction process. This fact very often is a basic demand for reconstruction of historical buildings.The paper analyses the recent fire protection regulations for reconstruction of historical buildings. It is verified that timber-concrete composite is a profitable solution for improvement of fire protection of existing buildings.
