Comparison of powering the microbial fuel cell with various kinds of wastewater
2019
The possibility to combine wastewater treatment and electricity production can accomplish a microbial fuel cell. Microbial fuel cells use glucose from wastewater as a fuel. In recent years, both production of municipal and industry wastewater increases very much. Municipal wastewater is directed to the wastewater treatment plant. While industry wastewater can be use as a fertilizer. But, both municipal and industry wastewater can be used in the microbial fuel cells. The comparison of powering the microbial fuel cell with municipal and process wastewater from yeast production is presented in this paper. The measurements covered comparison of changes in the concentration of COD in the reactor…
Advances in microgeophysics for engineering and cultural heritage
2009
A large number of unconventional investigations have been implemented, tested, and validated in the field of microgeophysics, with the aim being to solve specific diagnostic and/or monitoring problems regarding civil engineering and cultural heritage studies. The investigations were carried out using different tomographic 2D and 3D approaches as well as different energy sources, namely sonic, ultrasonic and electromagnetic (radar) waves, electric potential fields, and infrared thermography. Many efforts have been made to modify instruments and procedures in order to improve the resolution of the surveys as well as to greatly reduce the time of the measurements without any loss of informatio…
Understanding Consumers’ Convenience Orientation. An Exploratory Study of Fresh-Cut Fruit in Italy
2021
In Western society, the fresh-cut fruit market is experiencing significant growth, especially in Italy, where, in 2019, the fresh-cut fruit sales volume increased by 35% compared with the previous year. This study aims to understand Italian consumers&rsquo
The Use of Mobile Payment Systems in Post-COVID-19 Economic Recovery : Primary Research on an Emerging Market for Experience Goods
2021
This study investigated whether mobile payment services could drive post-COVID-19 pandemic recovery in the ‘experience goods’ sector (e.g., tourism) utilising Bandura’s self-efficacy or social cognitive theory. It explored the factors influencing the intention to continue using mobile payment services and the intention to recommend these to others. An empirical survey was conducted to assess the study variables, and the data obtained therefrom were analysed using the industry-standard Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining method. The study results suggest that personal innovativeness and perceived trust influence consumers’ intention to continue using mobil…
Modeling the Sustainable Educational Process for Pupils from Vulnerable Groups in Critical Situations: COVID-19 Context in Lithuania, Latvia, and Est…
2022
The critical situation in education caused by COVID-19 has significantly reduced the involvement of pupils from vulnerable groups, particularly those with low learning achievements. The aim of this study is to reveal the modeling of the sustainable educational process and the factors that ensure optimal learning achievements of pupils from vulnerable groups in general education schools in critical educational transformation situations. To reveal the factors ensuring the sustainability of educational processes, this study was conducted in three Baltic countries (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) involving 1432 subject teachers from public education schools. The results of the study highlight t…
Sustainability Development in Mathematics Education : A Case Study of What Kind of Meanings Do Prospective Class Teachers Find for the Mathematical S…
2019
In this article, our focus is on sustainable development in mathematics education from the point of view of teacher training. The aim was to develop prospective teachers’ content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of school mathematics. As a case study, we chose the mathematical symbol “a/b”, and examined how prospective class teachers in Finland connect it to the concepts of fraction, ratio, division, rational number or probability. Mathematics textbooks often have a central role in lessons, and they affect strongly how pupils understand concepts and the relationships between them. We chose languaging as a multi-semiotic approach to interpreting what kind of meanings the prospecti…

Efektywność energetyczna budynków mieszkalnych, z uwzględnieniem akumulacji energii
2017
W społeczeństwie polskim wzrasta świadomość znaczenia efektywności energetycznej budynków mieszkalnych. W pracy dokonano analiza dostępnych rozwiązań z zakresu wykorzystania odnawialnych źródeł energii w budynkach mieszkalnych, a także możliwości magazynowania lokalnie wytworzonego ciepła oraz energii elektrycznej. Dokonano również charakterystyki efektywności zastosowania różnego typu źródeł energii odnawialnej w ramach mikrosieci energetycznych, wyposażonych w systemy magazynowania energii elektrycznej oraz cieplnej.
Wykorzystanie stopu Ni-Co jako katalizatora katody w jednokomorowym mikrobiologicznym ogniwie paliwowym
2017
Technologią, która wykorzystuje ścieki jako surowiec, zapewniając jednocześnie ich oczyszczanie oraz produkcję prądu, jest technologia mikrobiologicznych ogniw paliwowych. Technologia ta postrzegana jest jako wspomaganie tradycyjnego oczyszczania ścieków. Jednym z podstawowych problemów związanych z mikrobiologicznymi ogniwami paliwowymi jest niewielka ilość produkowanej energii elektrycznej. Gęstość prądu zależy od szybkości zarówno reakcji anodowych, jak i katodowych. Celem pracy było wykazanie możliwości wykorzystania stopu Ni-Co jako katalizatora elektrody tlenowej w jednokomorowym mikrobiologicznym ogniwie paliwowym. Badania objęły pomiary szybkości rozkładu H2O2 na analizowanym katali…
