Extreme weather layer method for implementation of nature-based solutions for climate adaptation: Case study Słupsk
PublicationOne of the most severe climate risks that is expected to affect all regions is related to stormwater. Climate models, constructed based on long-term trends, show that extreme weather events such as storms, cloudbursts and a large rise in sea level will be significant in the coming decades. Moreover, even the frequency and intensity of “normal” rainfall events, such as microbursts, are expected to be remarkably higher than today...

Marine traffic risk modelling – an innovative approach and a case study
PublicationThis paper presents a model to analyse the risk of two common marine accidents: collision and grounding. Attention is focused on oil tankers since they pose the highest environmental risks. A case study in selected areas of the Gulf of Finland in ice-free conditions is presented. The model utilizes a formula for risk calculation that considers both the probability of an unwanted event and its consequences. The model can be decomposed...

New Architecture of Solid-State High-Voltage Pulse Generators
PublicationThe application of the nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF) for biomedical treatments has gained more interest in recent decades due to the development of pulsed power technologies which provides the ability to control the electric field dose applied during tests. In this context, the proposed paper describes a new architecture of solid-state high-voltage pulse generators (SSHVPG) designed to generate fully customised sequences...

Decreasing CO2 Emissions By Reducing Tire Rolling Resistance
PublicationThe first motor vehicle was built by Nicolas Cugnot almost 250 years ago and since then there has been a continuous process of motor vehicles’ improvements, as well as development of new road pavements. The fuel crisis of the 70s of the 20th century made it clear to vehicle builders that measures should be taken to reduce vehicle fuel consumption and it contributed to an increased interest in electric vehicles. Although significant...

Badania emisji lotnych związków organicznych podczas nalewu asfaltu do autocystern oraz budowy dróg asfaltowych = Emission of volatile organic compounds from road bitumen during tank filling and road paving
PublicationOstatnio ma miejsce dyskusja poświęcona emisji lotnych związków organicznych towarzyszącej "niehermetycznemu" nalewowi asfaltów oraz budowie dróg asfaltowych. Asfalt naftowy wytwarzany jest poprzezutlenianie pozostałości z destylacji próżniowej. Zarówno na etapie destylacji próżniowej ropy naftowej, jak również w reaktorach utleniania asfaltu może dochodzić do przegrzewania wsadu na elementach grzejnych instalacji, a w wyniku zachodzi...

The Influence of Cement Type on Early Properties of Cold In-Place Recycled Mixtures
PublicationCold in-place recycling is a commonly used maintenance treatment in rehabilitation of low and medium volume roads in Poland. Typically, two types of binding agents are used—cement and bituminous emulsion (or foamed bitumen).Due to the harsh Polish climate with many freeze/thaw cycles and frequent occurrence of saturated conditions, the used amounts of cement are higher than those commonly used in warmer parts of Europe. While there...

The dependence of linear viscoelasticity limits of cold-recycled mixtures on time of curing and compaction method
PublicationCold-recycled mixtures are currently among the most widely used and investigated methods that enable recycling of old pavement structures in an environmentally friendly manner. Upon milling, the old pavement structure – whose gradation can be improved with addition of virgin aggregate – is mixed and compacted at ambient temperature. The main binding agents are bituminous emulsion and cement. Due to their dual binding behaviour,...

Employee Commitment Matters for CSR Practice, Reputation and Corporate Brand Performance—European Model
PublicationSo far, there have been no studies that explore how employee brand commitment moderates CSR practice outcomes. Employee brand commitment is often claimed as a focal input and output of the CSR. So, it means that it shapes CSR conditions. Then, it is a moderator. This study aims to verify it. Besides, commitment exists in many forms and can be achieved in many ways. Hence the question, if employees are committed to the brand, then...

Affective Learning Manifesto – 10 Years Later
PublicationIn 2004 a group of affective computing researchers proclaimed a manifesto of affective learning that outlined the prospects and white spots of research at that time. Ten years passed by and affective computing developed many methods and tools for tracking human emotional states as well as models for affective systems construction. There are multiple examples of affective methods applications in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS)....

The searchlight problem for road networks
PublicationWe consider the problem of searching for a mobile intruder hiding in a road network given as the union of two or more lines, or two or more line segments, in the plane. Some of the intersections of the road network are occupied by stationary guards equipped with a number of searchlights, each of which can emit a single ray of light in any direction along the lines (or line segments) it is on. The goal is to detect the intruder,...

Reshaping of Coastlines as the Beginning of Urban Structures Changes in North Poland
PublicationThis article discusses the problem of strategies concerning the processes of re-shaping the Baltic Sea southern coastline applied recently in North Poland. The undertaken research is an attempt to identify the relationship between the modifications of coastline forms and the positive changes of urban structures. It can be seen that these modifications are needed because of the problems of existing shoreline erosion. It can be also...

Betonowe nawierzchnie przepuszczalne w obliczu systemów wielokryterialnych oceny.
PublicationCoraz większym zainteresowaniem cieszą się obecnie nawierzchnie betonowe, które dobrze współgrają, a zarazem kontrastują sie z technologiami takimi jak asfalt, płyty chodnikowe, kostka brukowa itp. Wciąż ulepsza się i poszukuje nowych, niestandardowych rozwiązań i zastosowań dla nawierzchni betonowych. Obecnie nie liczy sie jedynie pomysł, ale również to w jako sposób określony element będzie oddziaływał na człowieka i środowisko....

Analiza niszczącego oddziaływania wody i mrozu na mieszanki mineralno-asfaltowe.
PublicationNiniejsza praca doktorska dotyczy zniszczeń nawierzchni asfaltowych powodowanych oddziaływaniem wody oraz łącznie wody i mrozu. Woda i mróz wpływa na osłabienie kohezji mieszanki i adhezji asfaltu do kruszywa, dąży do odmycia otoczki asfaltu z powierzchni kruszywa, prowadząc do obniżenia wytrzymałości mieszanki i degradacji nawierzchni.Na podstawie studiów literatury autor przedstawił istotę adhezji asfaltu do kruszywa, teorie...
