Reliable and rapid identification of phyto-pathogens causing plant diseases is playing an important role in their control strategies. The available methods for identification of fungi are time consuming and not always very specific. MALDI-TOF and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) microscopy are proved to be comprehensive and sensitive analytical me...

A fluid bed dryer with inert particles represents a very attractive alternative to other drying technologies according to the main efficiency criteria, i.e. specific water evaporation rate, specific heat consumption and specific air consumption. A high drying efficiency results from the large contact area and from the large temperature difference b...

The co-deposition of silver with less noble metals results at low current densities in pure silver coatings or solid solutions of these metals in silver. At high current densities, after saturation of the silver lattice with the alloying metal a new richer in this element phase is formed and heterogeneous coatings are obtained. The spontaneous depo...

Spindle is one of the most important member in turning machines, so that its precision determines the dimensional tolerances of machined parts. In this paper, the spindle’s response to standard input parameters has been analyzed via Finite Element Method (FEM).From this point of view, the spindle of LZ330VS turning type machine is modeled wit...

Nowadays, due to using many rare metals in the most advanced technologies, the demand for these metals is increasing. Rare metals, however, mostly don’t show the property of creating their own mineral deposits, making their production more complicated. Some rare metals, e.g. gallium, germanium, indium and thallium usually accompany zinc ore. ...

Investigations, conducted in this study showed that waste phosphogypsum-dihydrate represents a burden which even must not be kept in deposits because of its large quantity in relation to the main product – phosphoric acid, as well as because of great impact of a phosphogypsum deposit on the environment. By the proposed procedure, calcium-sulp...
