Effect of chemical composition on corrosion and wear behaviour of the composite Ni-Fe-Al2O3 coatings.
PublicationPrzedstawiono wyniki badań powłoki kompozytowej otrzymanej przez osadzanie katodowe galwaniczne w roztworze zawierającym sole niklu, żelaza oraz cząstki ceramiki Al2O3 o różnej wielkości i stężeniu. Wykazano, że charakterystyka ceramiki posiada wpływ na szybkość korozji i zużycia ściernego. W szczególności, zawartość ceramiki wpływa dodatnio na odporność na zużycie ścierne, ale nieco obniża odporność na zużycie korozyjne.

Volunteerism in the last year as a moderator between empathy and altruistic social value orientation: An exploratory study
PublicationVolunteerism is a sustained prosocial activity, and young adults are one of the most important targets for organizations recruiting volunteers. Empathy and altruistic social value orientation measured by a decomposed game are dispositional traits that might foster engagement in volunteerism. Using a self-report online-based questionnaire study on two groups of young adults (aged 18-35, N = 224 non-volunteers and N = 178 volunteers...

NADPH Oxidase Gene Polymorphism is Associated with Mortality and Cardiovascular Events in 7-Year Follow-Up
PublicationThe CYBA gene encodes the regulatory subunit of NADPH oxidase, which maintains the redox state within cells and in the blood vessels. That led us to investigate the course of coronary artery disease (CAD) with regards to CYBA polymorphisms. Thus, we recruited 1197 subjects with coronary atherosclerosis and observed them during 7-year follow-up. Three CYBA polymorphisms: c.214C>T (rs4673), c.-932G>A (rs9932581), and c.*24G>A (1049255)...

Total impact of oxidative stress genes on cardiovascular events—a 7-year follow-up study
PublicationCardiovascular (CV) events are the number one cause of lifetime disability and deaths worldwide. It is well known that traditional risk factors do not fully correlate with clinical outcomes; therefore, searching for other markers that would explain CV events occurrence seems essential. Of importance, one of the main factors at the origin of CV events is oxidative stress, causing inflammation and atherosclerotic plaque instability....
