The work presents a two-step method of iron red synthesis based on waste iron(II) sulfate. The synthesis was carried out using purified waste iron sulfate from titanium dioxide production. The study investigated the influence of factors such as temperature, pressure, concentration of solutions and synthesis time on the physicochemical properties of pigments. Obtained pigments were tested by instrumental analytical methods, e.g. X-ray Diffraction or BET surface area analysis. The pigments were analyzed for color, praticles size as well as for oil number. The results of the research showed a change in the physicochemical properties of the obtained pigments depending on the conditions of synthesis. It was shown that increasing the synthesis time in most cases increased the degree of crystallization of hematite in the pigments. High specific surface area, low agglomeration of pigments or low oil absorption are directly related to the crystallinity of the pigments obtained. Laboratory pigments have been found to be different from commercial pigments. The difference in properties speaks in favor of synthesized materials.

In the article publications have been analyzed and summarized on this topic: studied the experience of implementing building information models and geographic information models for administrative and economic management of transport infrastructure facilities on the example of the regional airport activity. After the stage of collecting geospatial data from various sources and sensors, the data is imported into CAD-systems or GIS-systems. Different software products are used to work with both of these models. The processes of data organization in the process of creating building information models and geographic information models differ to some extent. The issues of integration of such models are not yet fully addressed and need to be addressed. In the process of integration of spatial data, solutions to the integration of semantics, topology, formats and standards of geospatial data are needed. An important task is to develop and study the experience of creating software modules that allow you to integrate BIM-models into geographic information systems. Based on the research, it is established that the current area of research is the development of technologies that allow the generation of information from BIM and GIS to create a more interconnected infrastructure. The integration of BIM and GIS information to create a spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is a perspective direction.

The serpulid tube worm Laqueoserpula reussi (Weinzettl, 1910), originally introduced as a gastropod named Burtinella(?) reussi, is described from the Upper Cenomanian and Lower Turonian of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin. It had usually been confused with other species and genera before 2008. Comparison with specimens from the type locality of the type species of the genus Laqueoserpula Lommerzheim, 1979 confirms the affiliation of the Bohemian species to this genus. The simple prismatic (SP) ultrastructure of the tube wall of L. reussi agrees with an assignment to the tribe Serpulini Rafinesque, 1815. In the Upper Cretaceous, representatives of Laqueoserpula are exclusively found in nearshore deposits, where they are accompanied by a high diverse marine invertebrate fauna. By its compact, large and robust tube forming a spiral and extremely thick tube wall, L. reussi was well-adapted to live in nearshore high energy environments, where its tube could be encrusted by bryozoans, brachiopods and oysters, and infested by hydroids and borers.
