PublicationNanocrystalline thin films of NiO were prepared by advanced reactive gas deposition, and their responses to formaldehyde, ethanol and methane gases were studied via fluctuation-enhanced and conductometric methods Thin films with thicknesses in the 200–1700-nm range were investigated in as-deposited form and after annealing at 400 and 500 °C. Morphological and structural analyses showed porous deposits with NiO nanocrystals having...

Comparison of Average Energy Slope Estimation Formulas for One-dimensional Steady Gradually Varied Flow
PublicationTo find the steady flow water surface profile, it is possible to use Bernoulli’s equation, which is a discrete form of the differential energy equation. Such an approach requires the average energy slope between cross-sections to be estimated. In the literature, many methods are proposed for estimating the average energy slope in this case, such as the arithmetic mean, resulting in the standard step method, the harmonic mean and...

INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSION MEASUREMENTS USING FAR AND GTEM TEST SITES UP TO 1 GHz
PublicationElectromagnetic emission limiting is one of the basic requirements in the European Directive 2014/30/EU (EMC Directive). Manufacturers often use alternative methods of measurements to make preliminary verification of emission. This paper presents and analyzes problem with comparison between measurements in different test sites: FAR (Fully Anechoic Room) and GTEM (Gigahertz Transverse Electromagnetic cell). FAR is assumed as the...

Comparison of 3D Point Cloud Completion Networks for High Altitude Lidar Scans of Buildings
PublicationHigh altitude lidar scans allow for rapid acquisition of big spatial data representing entire city blocks. Unfortunately, the raw point clouds acquired by this method are largely incomplete due to object occlusions and restrictions in scanning angles and sensor resolution, which can negatively affect the obtained results. In recent years, many new solutions for 3D point cloud completion have been created and tested on various objects;...

The comparison of SrTi0.98Nb0.02O3–δ-CeO2 and SrTi0.98Nb0.02O3–δ-YSZ composites for use in SOFC anodes
PublicationComposites of Nb-doped strontium titanate mixed with yttria-stabilized zirconia or cerium oxide in 50:50, 70:30 and 85:15 weight ratios were evaluated as possible anode/electrolyte interface materials for solid oxide fuel cells in terms of chemical compatibility, electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. It has been shown that composite samples prepared by typical powder-mixing methods remain single-phase up to 1400°C....

Comparison of target strength (TS) distributions obtained by means of the use of direct and indirect techniques in sea cages
PublicationThe aim of this study is to verify the reliability of a processing application developed for the indirect measurement of target strength (TS), with a view to the integration into a single-beam system for its utilization in fish farms. Dorsal and ventral measurements are carried out for gilt-head sea-bream (Spams Aurata) for 5 size classes using a split-beam EK60 echosounder and single-beam data obtained from one of the channels...

A Comparison of the Efficiency of Deammonification under Different Aeration Strategies in a Laboratory-Scale Sequencing Batch Reactor
PublicationAn important source of nitrogen load entering the biological part of wastewater treatment plants (WWPTs) is derived from the anaerobic sludge digestion processes. Sludge digestion liquors constitute only 1-2% of the inflow to the plant, but the load of nitrogen directed with them to the main stream may be as high as 10-20% of the total nitrogen load. Therefore, numerous studies have focused on treatment of sludge digestion liquors...
