Processes and the Resulting Water Quality in the Medium size Turawa Storage Reservoir after 60 Year Usage
PublicationThe Turawa reservoir built on the Mała Panew river is one of important storage reservoirs in Poland. Quite many physico-chemical parameters of water in the reservoir itself and also in the reservoir inflowing rivers at different times of the year were measured and compared. The changes of water characteristics as well as their reasons and consequences were discussed.

New insights of nanomaterials usage toward superhydrophobic membranes for water desalination via membrane distillation: A review
PublicationMembrane distillation (MD) is a promising technology for seawater desalination due to the ability to process high-salinity waters and the ability to be driven by low-grade or waste heat. However, practical applications of MD membranes are limited by the low vapor flux and fouling problem. Recently, there is a growing interest in developing novel MD membrane materials with enhanced hydrophobicity to improve the efficiency of desalination...

Magnetic field gradient as the most useful signal for detection of flaws using MFL technique
PublicationThe magnetic flux leakage (MFL) technique is extensively used for detection of flaws as well as for evaluation of their dimensions in ferromagnetic materials. However, proper analysis of the MFL signal is hindered by the MFL sensor velocity causing distortions of this signal. Traditionally measured components of the MFL signal are particularly sensitive to the scanning velocity. In this paper, an another signal – the gradient of...

Hierarchia czynników wpływu w diagnostyce komponentów stalowych metodą statycznego pola rozproszonego
PublicationWśród technik badań nieniszczących obiektów stalowych (NDT) szczególną rolę pełnią techniki elektromagnetyczne, jako relatywnie tanie, czyste, szybkie i adaptowalne. Mają one jednak istotne ograniczenia, o których wydają się zapominać praktycy promujący tzw. metodę magnetycznej pamięci metali (ang. magnetic metal memory, MMM). Szczególnie dyskusyjna jest postulowana przez nich możliwość ilościowej korelacji charakterystyk pola...

Separation of the effects of notch and macro residual stress on the MFL signal characteristics
PublicationMagnetic flux leakage (MFL) distribution for three configurations of samples has been investigated in order to study the influence of notch and plastic deformation separately as well as together. Samples have been made of S355 steel. The MFL signal measurements were carried out along the longest dimension of the sample over a length of 120 mm. Two components of magnetic field were measured: 1) tangential to the main axis and 2)...

A Comparative Study on Methods of Distinction Between Near- and Far-Side Defects as Techniques Used Alongside with the Magnetic Flux Leakage Testing
PublicationResults of the finite element analysis show that a far-side defect in a steel plate, with the depth greater by 10% of the plate thickness than a near-side defect, can produce a very similar magnetic flux leakage (MFL) signal. Due to the fact that a measurement of MFL itself can lead to misclassification of a far-side defect as a near-side one, and thus to underestimation of its depth, a comparative study of three complementary...

Reduction of the Velocity Impact on the Magnetic Flux Leakage Signal
PublicationThe velocity effect on the magnetic flux leakage (MFL) signal was investigated in this paper. Experiments were performed for velocity of the MFL tool within the range of 0–2 m/s. The velocity was not constant during each measurement to imitate real operational conditions of the MFL tool. Two components of the leakage were measured, i.e. the tangential to the motion direction (x) and the normal to the investigated surface (z). In...

How do personality traits influence Open Government Data (OGD) adoption and usage? Investigating the indirect and moderating effects
PublicationOpen Government Data (OGD) research has focused for a long on the adoption and usage from the perspectives of users across different contexts. The underlying rationale for this specific focus is that OGD initiatives are undertaken to further citizen engagement with OGD for value generation and innovation purposes. Conceding that usage propensity is different across individuals, it is important to understand the influence of personality...

Influence of plastic deformation on stray magnetic field distribution of soft magnetic steel sample
PublicationThe effect of various combinations of conditions, i.e., presence of the Earth’s magnetic field during and after deformation on the distribution of stray magnetic field of S355 steel sample, which is locally deformed, was investigated. Some of the stages of the experiment were carried out in zero magnetic field. Compensation of the Earth’s magnetic field was obtained by the application of a pair of Helmholtz coils. These coils are...
