Abstract

The model of odour intensity analyzer in a form of two layers of neurons. was proposed. The first layer consists of specific receptors of odorants, which are randomly distributed. The odorant influence on odour intensity of mixtures is depends on the number of suitable receptors and number of their connections with the second layer neurons (the degree of divergence). The second layer neuron is stimulated with the same power after receiving the signal from any receptor or receptors. Il was assumed that the odour intensity is directly proportional to the number of stimulated neurons in the second layer. The investigated model contained 1000 neurons in the first layer and 1456 neurons in the second layer. The first layer contained receptors A and B (RA and RB) in quantities 15% RA, IS% RB and 30% RA, 10% RB. Receptors A characterized the divergence I :9, receptors B - 1 :25. The stimulus were mixtures containing 5-100 molecules A and B per hundred (x , = 0.0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0). The general similarity of • the model reaction with that of the human smell reaction was found.

Abstract

The paper presents the toxicity changes of landfill leachate during landfill processes simulation as well as after Advanced Oxidation Processes implementation to the leachate. A bioluminescence toxicity test Toxalert®10 with the pure cultures of Vibrio fischeri was used. The significant difference in the leachate toxicity originating from acidogenic landfill phase in comparison to the methanogenic phase was noticed. The leachate ozonation led to the toxicity reductions. The hydrogen peroxide application caused the toxicity increase and slowed down the landfill processes.

Abstract

Chromium exists primarily in two oxidation states. The different toxicities and bioavailabilities of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) are public health concern and therefore require strict control. Some AAS/ICP methods work according to the so-called difference method and they do not allow the simultaneous determination of chromium(III) and (VI). The need of more accurate and rapid analysis of environmental samples has led to investigation of ion chromatography as an alternative to wet chemical chromium analyses. Conventional HPLC, photometric methods and atomic absorption spectroscopy analyse are less interference free than ion chromatography which has been used in a wide variety of chemical species. At present analytical chemists focus on alternative Cr(III)+Cr(Vl) methods which will be faster, more sensitive and cheaper than spectroscopic methods and which will allow to exclude many matrix interferences. This paper describes investigations of application of PDCA as a complexing agent of Cr (III) ions and its using in simultaneous determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in water by means of ion chromatography with UV detector.

Abstract

The material was sampled in the dam reservoir ,,Przeczyce" (the Silesian Upland, rnesoregion of the Garb Tarnogórski) and in 9 fish-culture ponds in the Gatine Region (Department Deux-Sevres) in west-central France. The dam reservoir in Przeczyce is a drinking water reservoir for inhabitants of the northern part of the Upper-Silesian Industrial Region. The surveyed ponds were utilized for extensive fish culture. A total of 218 tench, at the age of 1-6 years, were sampled from the dam reservoir, while 247 fish of the same species, representing the same age groups, were caught from the fish ponds studied. Prevalence of Ergasilus sieboldi in examined tench populations was respectively 42.1 % in the dam reservoir, and 42.4% in the ponds. No significant differences in the body weight and standard length were found between infected and non-infected fish representing the dam reservoir and the ponds with complete array of fish species. In those ponds where predatory fish were eliminated, as a result of the interventional fishing, infected tench were significantly (p < 0.01) lighter and shorter in comparison to non-infected individuals. A significant (p < 0.01), although relatively weak, positive con-elation was observed between infection intensity of Ergasilus sieboldi and the body weight and the standard length of the fish infected (r = 0.5956 and r = 0.7398, respectively). No significant relationship was found between intensity of the infection and the condition factor (K= 100*W*L'', where: W - body weight, L- standard length) in fish examined.

Abstract

In selected mining sinkhole ponds and sand-pits in the Upper-Silesian Industrial Region there were collected 346 sunbleak, in the age classes 1-5, with mean length and body weight 4.5 cm and 1.34 g, respectively. In the infected fish there were found: adult cestodes Caryophyllaeides Jennica, plerocercoids of Ligula intestinalis and Schistocephalus solidus, metacercariae of the trematode Posthodiplostomum cuticola, as well as two crustaceans Lernea cyprinacea and Argulusfoliaceus. In the case of the infection with plerocercoids of both cestodes distincly greater prevalence of the infection was observed in sand-pits, whereas maximal prevalence of the infection with the crustacean Argulus foliaceus - in examined sinkhole ponds. Authors discuss this phenomenon in the context of differences in temperature and oxygen conditions in both types of analyzed reservoirs.

Abstract

The aim of the research was to study the influence of different tree stands on topsoil magnetic susceptibility and heavy metal contamination in the soil. The study was performed in the old park in Pruhonice (near Prague) in the Czech Republic. On the relatively small area of Pruhonice Park, five different coniferous tree species (pine, spruce, blue spruce, fir, Douglas fir) and five deciduous species (beech, red oak, common oak, hornbeam, birch) were found, growing in small clusters on the same geological background. Also other natural and anthropogenic factors such as distance from industrial and urban sources of pollution, type of soil, climate, etc. were similar. The magnetic susceptibility was measured directly in the field. Twenty topsoil cores 0.3 m long (2 under each tree species) were collected and also soil samples from under each tree (litter horizon) were taken. The magnetic susceptibility values of the topsoil profiles and of litter layer samples were obtained. Heavy metal analyses of surface samples (litter horizon) were also carried out. The field magnetic susceptibility (K) data are more or less comparable to the laboratory data (x). High heavy metal contents corresponding to high magnetic susceptibility values are observed in the litter horizon. A positive correlation between magnetic susceptibility and some heavy metals was observed. The results suggest that the type of forest may also influence the values of magnetic susceptibility and heavy metal content. Generally higher magnetic susceptibility values were observed in the coniferous forest, except for the surface layer (litter horizon) where the K values are lower than in the deciduous forest.

Abstract

Physical analysis of the 15-cm top layer of the Rzuno lake bottom sediments showed that their properties changed adequate by depth. They changed from granular structure, in the lakes shallow parts, to amorphic structure, in the lakes deeper parts, from light color to almost black and from loose to gelatinous consistence. Chemical investigation of this lake bottoms sediments showed that their main components is silica (more than 50% of dry matter of sediments), therefore these bottom sediments were classified as silicate sediments. Organic matter was another essential component of these sediments. The content of organic matter increased adequate by depth from 7% to 36%. The investigated sediments exhibited small contents of nitrogen (about 0.6%), with predominance of organic nitrogen. They make up are characterized by small phosphorus contents (about 0.06%), with similar amount of inorganic and organic phosphorus. The content of metals (Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, Mn) was also small in the investigated sediments. Correlation analysis showed that iron ions precipitate phosphate phosphorus from water and accumulate it in sediments. The material deposited in bottom sediments of Rzuno lake in mainly of an autochthonous origin. The chemical composition of bottom sediments of Rzuno lake, as well as its comparison with other lakes, show that this lake is moderately eutrophic.

Abstract

This paper is content of brief review of the problems of uptake, translocation and distribution of zinc in grass (Agros1is capillarisi. Grasses as well as other plant species growing on metal contaminated soil have been selected for metal resistance for a long time. An increase in heavy metals like Zn, Pb and Cd in soil caused changes in root morphology and physiology as well as the tolerance of different plant species. The uptake and transport of zinc in plants is higher in older plants parts, like old or dead leaves, than in younger parts. There were measured the zinc resistance of the grass and bioaccurnularion in different parts of grasses.

  • autonomous opinion,
  • the lack of interests conflict – especially the lack of personal and business relations with the Authors of the paper,
  • the preservation of confidentiality about the paper content and the Reviewer opinion about the paper.

2) After the Reviewers selection, Assistant Editor send them (via e-mail) requests to review the paper. Reviewers receive the full text of the paper (without Author personal data) qualified for the reviewing process and referee form, sometimes supplemented with the additional questions connected with the article. In the e-mail Assistant Editor also determine the extent of the review and the deadline (usually a month).

3) The personal data of Reviewers are not open (double-blind review). It can be declassify only on Author’s special request and after the Reviewer agreement. It sometimes happen when the review outcome is: manuscript rejection or when the paper contain controversial issues.

4) The reviewer send the review to the Editorial Office via e-mail. After receiving the review the Assistant Editor:

  • inform Authors about it (in the case of the review without corrections or when there are only small, editorial changes needed),
  • send the reviews to Authors. Authors have to correct the paper according to Reviewers comment and prepare the reply to Reviewers,
  • send the paper corrected by Authors to Reviewers again – when Reviewer wanted to review it again.

5) The final decision about manuscript is made by the Editorial Board on the basis of the analysis of remarks contained in the review and the final version of the paper send by Authors. 6) The final version of the paper, after typesetting and text makeup is being sent to Authors, who make an author’s corrections. Afterwards the paper is ready to be printed in the specific issue.
