The experimental research in brine–rock–gas was performed in order to investigate the interactions of hydrogen sulphide with selected aquifer rocks from the Małopolska Block (Poland). Scanning microscopic analysis of reacted samples confirmed intense dissolution of the cement components (mainly hematite and carbonates). It was also found that the main process leading to hydrogen sulphide mineral trapping is its reaction with hematite, leading to the formation of iron (III) sulphide. Based on modeling of kinetic reactions we also assessed the amounts of sulphur blocked in the mineral form and in solution. On this basis, it was hypothesized that the analyzed rocks have significant potential for geological sequestration of H2S in the long term.

AbstractWater-lubricated bearings with polymer bushes are steadily gaining popularity due to their advantages, including environmental friendliness, relatively simple construction and long-term operation. Nevertheless, in practice instances of damage to such bearings occur due to insufficient or absent flow of the lubricating agent. In this study, experimental tests established that elastic polymer bush bearing is capable of operating without excessive wear for a period of at least 60 minutes under conditions of marginal water flow and typical loads for stern tube journal bearings of small ships.

AbstractThe aim of experimental research in the area of exterior walls and windows suitable for wooden buildings was to build special pavilion laboratories. These laboratories are ideally isolated from the surrounding environment, airtight and controlled by the constant internal climate. The principle of experimental research is measuring and recording of required physical parameters (e.g. temperature or relative humidity). This is done in layers of experimental fragment sections in the direction from exterior to interior, as well as in critical places by stable interior and real exterior climatic conditions. The outputs are evaluations of experimental structures behaviour during the specified time period, possibly during the whole year by stable interior and real exterior boundary conditions. The main aim of this experimental research is processing of long-term measurements of experimental structures and the subsequent analysis. The next part of the research consists of collecting measurements obtained with assistance of the experimental detached weather station, analysis, evaluation for later setting up of reference data set for the research locality, from the point of view of its comparison to the data sets from Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute (SHMU) and to localities with similar climate conditions. Later on, the data sets could lead to recommendations for design of wooden buildings.

This chapter describes a long-term project that investigates the validity of the design principles — not from the perspective of computational efficiency, but from the perspective of human comprehension — upon which many automatic graph layout algorithms are based. It describes a framework for experimentation in this area, the overall methodology used throughout, as well as the details of the experiments themselves. It shows the development of the empirical ideas and methods as the project matured and provides reflections on each experiment, demonstrating the difficulty of initiating a new experimental research area. The chapter suggests how the current results should best be interpreted, as well as ideas for future work in this area.

A gaseous mixture of hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide (20% H2S, 80% CO2) was brought into contact at 25°C with NaY and NaX zeolites in an as-synthesized form as well as after modification by the inclusion of salts (NaCl, NaBr) in the small cages of the aluminosilicate framework and ion exchange with aqueous CaCl2 solution. At small contact times (5 h), the degree of conversion of H2S according to the reaction H2S + CO2 → COS + H2O by the various samples was found to follow the sequence NaY/NaCl ≈ NaY/NaBr ≈ NaX/NaCl(CaCl2) < NaY « NaX/NaCl ≈ NaX. Long-term runs with NaY and NaY/NaBr revealed that the latter zeolite retained a very low level of H2S conversion for contact times as long as 250 h. It is concluded that such low H2S conversion requires the absence of low-coordinated sodium cations in the supercages or their replacement by calcium ions, and blocking of the β-cages with salt anions.

Human Mating

In this paper, we analyze a K-drama aired by the Korean TV network SBS in 2016, Jealousy Incarnate, as a case study of the application of the Tie-Up Theory to a romantic narrative as a form of simulation of human mating processes with social cognition valence. We find that this case provides us with an example of a mating process where the choice of the male partner by the female lead character does not privilege the one that should be preferable on the basis of the standard prediction of the experimental research on human mating. This discrepancy is a signal of a basic limitation of experimental research, that highlights the subjects’ preferences for abstract potential partners but is not able to fully account for the mechanisms that lead to the choice of a specific partner in a specific mating interaction. We argue that the narrative simulation viewpoint provides insights that are complementary to those of experimental research, and that a more comprehensive theoretical approach, such as the one offered by the Tie-Up Theory, may be helpful to account for both perspectives.

Shrinkage And Creep

Research in the Ultra-High Performance Concrete applications field is very important. Current experiences shows that the structure design should be optimize due to relatively new fine-grained cement-based Hi-Tech material with excellent mechanical and durability properties. It is not sure if some of the volumetric changes like creep or shrinkage has or has not an impact on an advantage for the construction and for the structure design. The effect of the shrinkage and creep of common used concretes are well known and well described at publications but the effect of volumetric changes of the UHPC is mostly unknown because of the fact that some of experimental tests are long term and the development of UHPC is still in its basics. A lot of works are focused on a basic mechanical properties and durability tests.

The Mean

Anthropogenic changes detected in the sediment of a shallow (~1.6 m) billabong (Horseshoe Lagoon) are the result of a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) connection in 1958 and catchment urbanization around 1974. Nutrient-rich water caused the collapse of macrophyte populations, algal blooms became common, and urbanization increased sediment deposition (~1 cm year −1 ). Changes in P retention were investigated by using dated cores, pore-water element profiles, and water quality records. The lagoon is the last of three STP holding ponds. Ponds 1 and 2 were sand-mining pits; they receive no sediment input and have negligible P adsorption. The Fe:P ratios in sediments from three Australian rivers have a common slope and this relationship was used to examine Fe:P ratios in the anoxic bottom sediments of the lagoon. A potential for effluent P adsorption developed in the lagoon through Fe mobilization and enrichment in the upper sediments and a strong clay–Fe–P association. The mean long- term P adsorption in the lagoon (35±18%) was the result of maintaining clay input to an oxic waterbody. Bacterial sulfate reduction is the main process decreasing available Fe for effluent P adsorption. Appropriately designed systems could expect to maintain effluent P adsorption efficiencies of around 70%.
