The Influence of Co-Fermentation of Agri-Food Waste with Primary Sludge on Biogas Production and Composition of the Liquid Fraction of Digestate
PublicationEnergy self-sufficiency is a current trend in wastewater treatment plants. This effect can be achieved by increasing the production of electricity from biogas and by reducing energy consumption for technological processes. One idea, in line with the circular economy concept, is the use of waste rich in organic matter as co-substrates for the fermentation process. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of waste co-fermentation...

Phase Change Thermal Energy Storage – The Experience of the Materials Preparation for the Specific Applications.
PublicationThermal energy storage and temperature stabilization is very important in many engineering applications. There are three kinds of thermal energy storage: sensible heat storage, latent heat storage and reversible chemical reaction heat storage. Phase change materials (PCM) absorb, store and release large amounts of energy in the form of latent heat, at constant temperature, called the transition temperature. The amount of heat...

Advancing sustainable wastewater management: A comprehensive review of nutrient recovery products and their applications
PublicationWastewater serves as a vital resource for sustainable fertilizer production, particularly in the recovery of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). This comprehensive study explores the recovery chain, from technology to final product reuse. Biomass growth is the most cost-effective method, valorizing up to 95 % of nutrients, although facing safety concerns. Various techniques enable the recovery of 100 % P and up to 99 % N, but challenges...

Knowledge management and factors influencing its implementation in small KIBS firms – evidence from Poland
PublicationPurpose – Even if the notion of knowledge management (KM) has been introduced more than three decades ago, the application of this concept in the context of small firms has still not been sufficiently explored. The relatively few contributions, however, agree on the fact that small companies do not manage knowledge the same way as their larger counterparts. In order to fill this gap, the present paper aims to the investigate the...

Local variability in snow concentrations of chlorinated persistent organic pollutants as a source of large uncertainty in interpreting spatial patterns at all scales
PublicationSingle point sampling, a widespread practice in snow studies in remote areas, due to logistical constraints, can present an unquantified error to the final study results. The low concentrations of studied chemicals, such as chlorinated persistent organic pollutants, contribute to the uncertainty. We conducted a field experiment in the Arctic to estimate the error stemming from differences in the composition of snow at short distances...

Oznaczanie pozostałości pestycydów w próbkach żywności w wykorzystaniem metodyki QuEChERS = QuEChERS approach for the determination of pesticide residues in food matrixes
PublicationBez wątpienia, wartym uwagi podejściem do problemu oznaczania pestycydów, ze względu na różnorodność tej grupy związków, jest zastosowanie metodyk oznaczania pozostałości (multi-residue methods - MRMs). Niestety, w literaturze naukowej można znaleźć stosunkowo niewiele informacji na temat takiego podejścia do oznaczania pozostałości pestycydów w próbkach żywności. Stąd próba przybliżenia czytelnikom kilku najistotniejszych, zdaniem...

Cannabinoid CB1 antagonists and dopamine antagonists produce different effects on a task involving response allocation and effort-related choice in food-seeking behavior
PublicationW przeprowadzonych badaniach iniekcja antagonistów dopaminy (DA) szczurom powoduje znaczny spadek użycia siły przez zwierzęta w poszukiwaniu żywności i jednoczesny wzrost spożycia jedzenia laboratoryjnego. Przeciwnie, iniekcja antagonisty AM4113 lub odwrotnego agonisty AM251 receptora CB1 powoduje zmniejszenie ilości jedzenia granulek, ale nie wpływa na zwiększenie konsumpcji jedzenia laboratoryjnego. Efekty wywierane na zwierzęta...

The novel cannabinoid CB1 receptor neutral antagonist AM4113 suppresses ood intake and food-reinforced behavior but does not induce signs of nausea in rats
PublicationPrzeprowadzone badania biochemiczne wykazują, że związek AM4113 wiąże się z receptorem kanabinoidowym CB1, ale nie wykazuje właściwości odwrotnego agonisty (między innymi nie wpływa na powstawanie cyklicznego AMP). W testach na swobodne przemieszczanie się szczurów i znieczulenie związek AM4113 osłabia wpływ agonisty AM411 na receptor CB1. AM4113 wpływa na zachowanie szczurów związane z karmieniem oraz powoduje spadek łaknienia...
