Iterative Global Sensitivity Analysis Algorithm with Neural Network Surrogate Modeling
PublikacjaGlobal sensitivity analysis (GSA) is a method to quantify the effect of the input parameters on outputs of physics-based systems. Performing GSA can be challenging due to the combined effect of the high computational cost of each individual physics-based model, a large number of input parameters, and the need to perform repetitive model evaluations. To reduce this cost, neural networks (NNs) are used to replace the expensive physics-based...

The metabolic activity of denitrifying microorganisms accumulating polyphosphate in response to addition of fusel oil
PublikacjaThe effect of distillery waste product (fusel oil) as an alternative external organic carbon source (EOCS) was investigated in terms of the metabolic properties of denitrifying polyphosphate accumulating organisms (DPAOs). Samples of the non-acclimated biomass were collected from a local full-scale wastewater treatment plant employing A2/O type bioreactors. The acclimated biomass was obtained after cultivation (with fusel oil added)...

Trust in Electronic Word-of-Mouth (eWOM): the concept and the most important determinants
PublikacjaeWOM and trust in it is now the most important factor in determining buyers' purchasing behavior. Familiarity with the determinants of trust establishes the formation of appropriate marketing activities. However, the growing number of new forms of eWOM and its increasingly complex and multidimensional nature have created a lot of confusion. The article aims to organize the concepts related to trust in eWOM, to indicate the most...

DNAffinity: a machine-learning approach to predict DNA binding affinities of transcription factors
PublikacjaWe present a physics-based machine learning approach to predict in vitro transcription factor binding affinities from structural and mechanical DNA properties directly derived from atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The method is able to predict affinities obtained with techniques as different as uPBM, gcPBM and HT-SELEX with an excellent performance, much better than existing algorithms. Due to its nature, the method can...

Analytical eco-scale for assessing the greenness of analytical procedures
PublikacjaWe propose the analytical eco-scale as a novel comprehensive approach to evaluating the greenness of analytical methodology. It is based on assigning penalty points to parameters of an analytical process that are not in agreement with the ideal green analysis. This approach compares different parameters and different steps of the analytical process. Traditional green chemistry metrics 9e.g. Atom Economy, E-factor and Reaction Mass...

Design of novel microstrip directional coupler for differential signal decoupling
PublikacjaThis study describes a concept of a novel microstrip directional coupler for differential signal decoupling, which can be used to digital signal overhearing on printed-circuit-boards. The complete design method is proposed with rules given analytically. Considered methodology is suitable for synthesis of couplers with low coupling factors, which have negligible influence on the transmission in main line. Theoretical considerations...

Reducing Air Pollutant Emissions from the Residential Sector by Switching to Alternative Energy Sources in Single-Family Homes
PublikacjaThe paper discusses a scenario for adapting residential buildings to the requirements of the EU climate and energy package. It analyzes the option of reducing pollutant emissions to ambient air by switching to alternative energy sources in a typical single-family residential building. The most common sources of energy in central heating and ventilation systems and water heating systems were compared, and the analyzed energy carriers...

Combinated treatment of landfill leachates with wastewater in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR)
PublikacjaSanitary landfill leachates are treated usually by multistage systems using physical, chemical and biological processes. One of the most economic and efficient method is combined treatment of landfill leachates with municipal wastewater in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR. The main advantage of such co-treatment is that landfill leachates variability (in quality and quantity) do not influence the effectiveness of biological processes....

Wpływ równości nawierzchni i dynamicznego oddziaływania pojazdów ciężkich na trwałość zmęczeniową nawierzchni podatnych
PublikacjaPodczas ruchu pojazdu obserwuje się odchylenia nacisków osi pojazdów od nacisku statycznego, co jest spowodowane nierównościami nawierzchni. Dynamiczne obciążenia pojazdów w większym stopniu wytężają konstrukcję nawierzchni drogowej. Rozkład obciążeń dynamicznych ma kształt rozkładu normalnego i jest opisywany poprzez obciążenie statyczne oraz wskaźniki dynamiczne DI lub DLC. Wraz z pogorszeniem równości i zwiększeniem prędkości...
