Prizadevanja za boljšo prihodnost niso vezana na določene lokacije, a so najopaznejša prav v mestih kot osrednjih žariščih moči. Ta si prizadevajo, da bi zadovoljila potrebe (rastočega) prebivalstva z načrtovanjem razvoja infrastrukture in dejavnosti, ki vplivajo kakovost življenja. Prispevek izpostavlja teme, se izbranih slovenskih pokazale osrednje njihovo prihodnost. Take raziskave zapolnjuj...

Povzetek. Spletni servisi so aplikacije, ki svoje storitve ponujajo različnim odjemalcem na svetovnem spletu. V tem članku bomo pojasnili, kako lahko navadno aplikacijo računalniškega vida pretvorimo v spletni servis s kar se da malo napora. Tako se izognemo težavam pri distribuciji aplikacije na različne operacijske sisteme z različnimi konfiguracijami. Aplikacije računalniškega vida zaradi po...

Povzetek. V sodobnih industrijskih procesih delež nelinearnih bremen, ki so vir tokovnega harmonskega popačenja, nenehno raste. Hkrati se povečuje tudi število kompenzatorjev jalove moči. Kompenzatorji sami sicer niso vir harmonskega popačenja, lahko pa povzročijo ojačenje harmonikov z ustvarjanjem resonančnih razmer, posledica tega pa je nepravilno delovanje naprav ali celo njihov izpad iz obr...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate musculoskeletal symptom prevalence in university hospital nurses and explore the relation between musculoskeletal symptom prevalence and work related factors. METHODS A structured questionnaire was conducted with 620 nurses in a university hospital to look into the characters of responsibility and musculoskeletal symptom prevalence. The ...

Optical switch probes undergo rapid and reversible transitions between two distinct states, one of which may fluoresce. This class of probe is used in various super-resolution imaging techniques and in the high-contrast imaging technique of optical lock-in detection (OLID) microscopy. Here, we introduce optimized optical switches for studies in living cells under standard conditions of cell cul...

Recent studies suggest that genetic variability can influence irritant-induced lung injury and inflammation. To begin identifying genes controlling susceptibility to inhaled irritants, seven inbred mouse strains were continuously exposed to nickel sulfate (NiSO(4)), polytetrafluoroethylene, or ozone (O(3)), and survival time was recorded. The A/J (A) mouse strain was sensitive, the C3H/He (C3) ...

Potassium citrate (10 mM, pH 6) inhibits the growth of cultured (Glycine max L.) cells when urea is the sole nitrogen source. Ureadependent citrate toxicity is overcome by three separate additions to the growth medium: (a) NH(4)Cl (20 mM); (b) high levels of MgCl(2) (10 mM) or CaCl(2) (5-10 mM); (c) low levels of NiSO(4) (10(-2) mM). Additions of 10(-2) mM NiSO(4) not only overcome citrate grow...

As the Editor-in-Chief of JPIS, I cannot stress enough the importance of the Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) markup language, even if it may be new to our readers, authors, and reviewers. JATS is an XML format used to encode scientific literature for online publication. It functions as a technical standard developed by the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) in the United States...

The motility of Spirillum volutans is caused by the rotation of each polar flagellar fascicle in a direction opposite to that of the more slowly rotating cell. Both flagella form cones of revolution oriented in the same direction. When the cell reverses its motion, both fascicles simultaneously reverse their rotation and also the orientation of their cones of revolution, with the tail fascicle ...
