The Impact of Candle Burning During All Saints’ Day Ceremonies on Ambient Alkyl-Substituted Benzene Concentrations
2013
Research findings concerning benzene, toluene, ethylobenzene, meta-, para- and ortho-xylene as well as styrene (BTEXS) emission at public cemeteries during All Saints’ Day are presented here. Tests were carried out at town-located cemeteries in Opole and Grodków (southern Poland) and, as a benchmark, at the centres of those same towns. The purpose of the study was to estimate BTEXS emissions caused by the candle burning and, equally important to examine, whether emissions generated by the tested sources were similar to the BTEXS emissions generated by road transport. During the festive period, significant increases in benzene concentrations, by 200 % and 144 %, were noted at the cemeteries …
Aromātisko sveču radīto smalko aerosolu daļiņu izmēru sadalījuma analīze
2016
Aromātisko sveču radīto smalko aerosolu daļiņu izmēru sadalījuma analīze, Pone A., zinātniskā vadītāja Doc., Dr. chem. Osīte A. Bakalaura darbs, 32 lappuses, 7 tabulas, 19 attēli, 25 literatūras avoti, 3 pielikumi. Latviešu valodā Bakalaura darbā apkopota informācija par gaisa sastāvu, gaisa fizikālām un ķīmiskām īpašībām, šķidrām un cietām aerosolu daļiņām, to veidošanos, un ietekmi uz cilvēka organismu. Apskatītas smalko aerosolu daļiņu paraugu ņemšanas un frakcionēšanas metodes, tai skaitā metodes, ar kurām iespējams noteikt daļiņu masas koncentrācijas, skaitu un to ķīmisko sastāvu. Darbā veikti modeļeksperimenti, dedzinot aromātiskās sveces un vīraka kociņus, un veikta smalko aerosolu d…
L'iconografia del candelabro per il cero pasquale della Cappella Palatina, con alcune considerazioni sul committente o donatore
2019
The candelabrum for the Easter candle in the Palatine Chapel in Palermo is in many ways one of the emblematic examples of Norman sculpture in Sicily, to be placed in the context of a broader Mediterranean current, classicistic and highly expressive, which includes contemporary productions of Tuscany, Emilia, Provence, Ile-de-France, Roussillon and Languedoc, Catalonia, up to the Holy Land of the Crusaders. This essay examines its complex iconography and proposes new hypotheses about its probable client or donor, the Archbishop of Salerno and chronicler Romualdo Guarna..
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in indoor emission from decorative candles
2011
Abstract This study investigates PAHs indoor emissions from burning decorative candle in an indoor environment because emissions from burning wax in home have rarely been addressed. A total of 12 air samples were collected during the entire burning period of the decorative candles. Particulate and gaseous PAHs emissions were simultaneously measured by passing effluent through a filter (to collect particulate-phase PAHs), a cold trap and ORBO 43 tubes (to capture gaseous-phase PAHs). Analysis involved ultrasound extraction, followed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The measured total PAHs concentration (particulate + aqueous phase + gas phases) for the candles, reported as ma…
Obraz i tekst w specjalistycznym języku giełdowym (na przykładzie analizy technicznej)
2017
The language of stock exchange is a terminological system based on the general language that has its own form, content, and as a medium of specialised knowledge, it is used in professional communication. In the present paper, the technical analysis is discussed as an example of a stock exchange text that functions in an accurate symbiosis with a chart. In selected formations, depicted as an illustration and a text, two frequently used techniques (that help to evaluate the stock exchange situation) are shown: a classical technique and Japanese candlestick charts. Therefore, functions of both the image and the text are depicted, as well as aims and intentions of the people whochoose the parti…
