The method of air pollution level evaluation of urban landscapes on the basis of D. melanogaster cohort analysis has been suggested. The method implies the binding to the landscape areas of the city. Within each landscape area traps and cultivators for D. melanogaster have been installed in sanitary-protective zones of various enterprises as well as on the background territory with the least le...

AIMS This study was performed to investigate the microbiological contamination of digestate product (DP) obtained from the anaerobic co-digestion of bovine manure and agricultural by-products. METHODS AND RESULTS Microbiological analyses were performed on bovine manure, fresh DP, liquid and solid fractions and stored liquid fraction of DP. A statistically significant reduction of faecal bacte...

This paper develops a methodology which allows the correlation between the cost which is required for the application of preventive and mitigation measures dealing with accidents which occur within a railway system and the improvement of the level of safety as a result from their implementation. The safety level is expressed either quantitatively, by the decrease of “fatality risk” indicator...

During the last decades, society’s concern for the environment has increased. Specific tools like the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and software and databases to apply this method have been developed to calculate the environmental burden of products or processes. Calculating the environmental impact of plastic products is relevant as the global plastics production rose to 288 million tons in 201...

In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of domestic and agricultural discharge on level antioxidant vitamins A, E, C, β-carotene malondialdehyde (MDA, an indicator oxidative stress) in muscle tissue freshwater mussel as known bioindicator (Unio elongatulus eucirrus). The mussels were collected from Arguvan (uncontaminated reference site) Battalgazi (exposed Karakaya Dam Lake. order exam...

Model-based gear dynamic analysis and simulation has been a promising way for developing effective gearbox vibration monitoring approaches. In this paper, based on the dynamic model of a one-stage gearbox with spur gears and one tooth crack, statistical indicators and the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) technique are investigated to identify effective and sensitive health indicators for reflec...

The slug flow pattern is one of the most common gas-liquid patterns in multiphase transportation pipelines, particularly oil and gas industry. This can cause severe problems for industrial processes. Hence, a detailed description spatial distribution different phases pipe needed automated process control calibration predictive models. In this paper, deep-learning based image processing techniqu...
