In recent years numerous advanced materials technologies have appeared in the market or have been developed for use in construction. In civil engineering there are also numerous fields of application for these materials, which can be used for construction of new buildings as well as for reparation and improvement of older structures. In many cases the helical reinforcement is used for the improvement and rehabilitation of masonry structures. This type of reinforcement offers several advantages. It requires only minimal changes of the existing masonry elements and it introduces no visual changes of the rehabilitated structure. In the paper a numerical analysis and an assessment are presented of such a helical reinforcement for the improvement of axially loaded masonry columns.

The mathematical model of the dynamics of the tumor markers network p53–Mdm2–microRNA for microRNA class with a direct positive connection with p53 was formulated. Numerical investigation of the microRNA functioning in conditions of the deregulation of p53 and p53–Mdm2-network was carried out. The deregulation of microRNA in detail was studied. The situations in which p53, its inhibitor Mdm2 and microRNAs exhibit critical properties for the patient's status and can be identified as diagnostic markers of cancer and neurodegenerative disease were studied. The results of numerical analysis are in good agreement with the data of clinical and laboratory studies of known microRNAs.

In this paper the results of a numerical investigation of the melting and solidification process of sodium nitrate, which is used as phase change material, will be presented. For the heat transfer to the sodium nitrate different finned tube designs, namely helical-, transversal- and longitudinal finned tubes, are used. The numerical results of the melting and solidification process for the different design cases will be compared. The numerical analysis of the melting process has shown that apart from the first period of the charging process natural convection is the dominant heat transfer mechanism. The numerical analysis of the melting process has also shown that for a fast melting process heat exchanger tubes should be designed in such a way that an unrestricted natural convection is guaranteed. The numerical investigation for the solidification process has shown that the dominant heat transfer mechanism is heat conduction. The investigation has also shown that the solidification front grows more uniformly from the tube surface to the outer shell compared to the melting front. Therefore no significant differences between the different tube designs are detected concerning the solidification process.
