Using these background details, a suggested thesis was put forward regarding the need to develop a device which will allow for the shaping of the macrogeometry of the grinding wheel (cylindrical and conical surfaces) and the microdiscontinuities within the dressing operation simultaneously. The device was presented and prepared in two functional variants (horizontal and vertical mounting of the motor), then a prototype was described. An example of the grinding wheel active surface, shaped by using this device, was also presented. The theoretical analysis and experimental verification performed determine that the error of shaping the conic chamfer angle within the range of 0-1.5°, using the developed device, is approximately ±3%.展开更多

PCBs are not found in a nature as a natural compounds and its appearance in natural environment is connected with unintentional and irresponsible human activity. PCBs have been produced on an industrial scale for more than 50 years and have been exported as chemicals in products to almost every country in the world. PCBs were commonly used as dielectric fluids in transformers and capacitors, in heat transfer and hydraulic systems. Other uses of PCBs included the formulation of lubricating and cutting oils, as plasticizers in paints. Nowadays PCBs are ranked among the compounds called POP (Persistent Organic Pollutants). This group of hazard removable pollutants includes pesticides, dioxins and furans also. Fishes fished from August 2006 to December 2007 from lakes in north-east Poland: Lafiskie, Kisajno and Niegocin. The investigations were carried out on four fish species: roach, common bream, perch and pike. According to the preliminary mass and length measurements anticipatory treatment were realized. Subsequently fishes were analysed in accordance with National Institute of Hygiene method. According to the investigations results PCBs were found in fish muscular tissues, fished from north-east lakes. PCB level didn't exceed the highest acceptable daily dose (4pg-TEQ body mass/day).展开更多

In the world there are regions with poor supplies of coarse aggregate, which is one of the most essential raw materials used for production of ordinary concrete. In these regions, instead of coarse aggregate, there are often very large deposits of fine aggregate such as natural sand and fine all-in-aggregate. These raw materials may be used for concrete production of standard mechanical properties. Manufacturing concrete based on locally available fine aggregate is inexpensive which encourages the local production of fine aggregate cement composites instead of ordinary concrete, requiring gravel transported from distant places.展开更多

The possibilities of exerting a positive influence upon machining conditions,especially through the proper application of grinding fluids, are briefly presented. Both the precise methodologies for, and theresults of, the experimental tests carried out on flat surfaces are also detailed. The aim of these tests was to determine the influenceof the application of two types of grinding liquid (Ecocut Mikro Plus 82 and Biocut 3000) upon the grinding force values andsurface roughness of the machined workpieces made from three nickel alloys (Nickel 201, INCONEL~ alloy 600, and MONEL^alloy 400). An additional goal of the tests was to determine the influence of grinding wheel structure on the course and results ofthe machining process. The results indicate that the physical and chemical properties of Biocut 3000 enabled the most advanta-geous properties of the machined surface roughness, alongside a simultaneous increase in grinding power, when compared to theresults when applying Ecocut Mikro Plus 82. The results showed an almost inversely proportional dependence upon the specifictangential grinding force Ft' and arithmetic mean deviation of the surface profile Ra values, especially in cases of machining Nickel201 and INCONEL alloy 600. The original traverse grinding methodology used in the tests made it possible to assess the changesof the grinding conditions within the conventionally selected zones.展开更多

The multimodal processes behind the multi-product production flow executed in an MTN can be seen as processes realized by using various local periodically functioning processes. The considered network of repetitively acting local transportation modes encompassing MTN's structure provides a framework for multimodal processes scheduling treated in terms of optimization of the AGVs fleet scheduling problem subject to fuzzy operation time constraints. In the considered case, both production takt and operation execution time are described by imprecise data. The aim of the paper is to present a constraint propagation(CP) driven approach to multi-robot task allocation providing a prompt service to a set of routine queries stated in both direct and reverse way. Illustrative examples taking into account an uncertain specification of robots and workers operation time are provided.展开更多

Losses take place along the entire food chain and they need to be analyzed and monitored due to their impact on the development of the food sector. In addition to quantitative losses, irrational use of food contributes to the depletion of natural resources (water and energy) and poses a threat to the environment, constituting a barrier to sustainable development of the food sector. The aim of this study was to establish the causes and effects of food waste throughout the food supply chain and to propose mitigation measures. Identified causes of food waste can be divided into two groups. The first are those that lead to the fact that food cannot be consumed (e.g., inadequate conditions of agricultural production and interruption of the cold chain). In the second, those that cause food cannot be sold (e.g., wrong label and wrong product weight). Most of the identified causes of food waste can be avoided (e.g., by improving the conditions of production, storage, and transportation). However, it is not possible to eliminate all potential errors leading to food waste. It is therefore necessary to consider what action to take to use food as intended. One way to reduce losses and food waste can be re-distributing to charity.展开更多

In the case of cancer, it is important to identify degree of tumor’s malice. We investigated the differences of Fourier Transform Infrared-Attenuated Total Reflection (FTIR-ATR) and FT-Raman spectroscopy between leukoplakia, oral cancer and normal tissues. Human tissue contains many compounds with known absorption spectra in the range of Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. These compounds have a fingerprint region, which permits their characterization. FTIR spectroscopy is a promising diagnostic tool. There is ability to detect skin, cervix, prostate, breast, esophagus, stomach, bladder and oral cancers [1]. Imaging using FTIR microscope allows analysis of biochemical compounds in microregions of biological materials. FTIR microspectroscopy is the perfect technique for tissues and individual cells analysis [1]. It delivers information about biochemistry of cell or tissue samples and has been applied in many areas of medical research [2]. IR absorption spectra of abnormal tissues and normal tissues are compared by lipid (2800 - 3000 cm–1), protein (1500 - 1700 cm–1), and nucleic acids (1000 - 1250 cm–1) regions [2]. One of the mucous membrane lesions of the mouth is leukoplakia. This change has a “fingerprint region” in the range of 900 - 1800 cm–1 [3]. Raman spectroscopy has high potential of medical diagnosis. This method is a molecular specific technique that can be used to develop a fundamental biochemical understanding of tissue physiology and pathology. Both methods are dedicated to screening of preneoplastic and neoplastic tissues and have a potential to reduce morbidity of leucoplakia and oral cancers. Obtained data suggested that these infrared techniques are applicable to biomedical and clinical diagnostics.展开更多
