Abstract: The paper is focused on interchange nodes between trains and regional buses. Sometimes it is necessary to use railway station and bus terminal located at different positions in the municipality. [..] Read more

Abstract: In Europe, intermodal transport is an indispensable element of transport policy, mainly because of the reduction of the negative effects of road transport on the environment, fuel and energy consumption, highway and road maintenance costs, land take and road safety. The geographic location of the Slovak Republic predetermines and accentuates the importance of transit transport in the west-east and north-south directions. [..] Read more

Abstract: The issue of distribution logistics including all sub-processes is very topical. E-commerce experiencing a great expansion every year, which has been exacerbated by the ongoing pandemic. [..] Read more

Abstract: The relationship between logistics and transport is very close, as transport ensures the physical movement of the product from the place of production to the place of consumption. Transport is a significant factor of time, it is the bearer of the speed and reliability of product relocation, it is one of the most important elements of the logistics system. [..] Read more

Abstract: Road bypasses of cities are built primarily for the purpose of detouring transit traffic from cities to their periphery. Urban roads are then released and used primarily by traffic flows with origin or destination in the city and inner-city individual and public transport. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper presents an approach and corresponding software to model demand for transport services on the grounds of the requests flow model. The authors propose the models of demand simulation for different types of transport systems – a freight forwarding company, a public transport network, and a parking lot. [..] Read more

Abstract: The weather can easily affect human activities. Therefore, it is very important to plan our activities so that the weather does not affect the safety of them. [..] Read more

Abstract: Increasing the efficiency of processes in warehouse facilities is now required in every industry. One of the important decision-making problems is the proper utilization of storage space. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper deals with the quality and logistics of transport services provided during a two-year pandemic period. It sets out key evaluation indicators when choosing delivery transport services. [..] Read more

Abstract: In logistics processes, we are currently observing trends related to reducing people's work in favor of the implementation of automated systems. It is influenced by the changes in the organization's environment and enterprises. [..] Read more

Abstract: High-power infrared lasers are the heart of modern equipment in telecommunications, tracking and navigation systems, etc. The increasing power of lasers places high demands on the materials used as active laser media, which must exhibit high thermal stability and luminescence efficiency.

Abstract: As previously reported, arrays of Nb2O5 nanocolumns on substrates may be synthesized by anodizing Al-on-Nb bilayers in oxalic, sulfuric, malonic, or phosphoric acids. Here, for the first time, we employed a new anodizing electrolyte - selenic acid (H2SeO4) due to a unique morphology of porous anodic alumina (PAA) formed in this electrolyte featuring extremely narrow pores and therefore, the minimal possible porosity (~3%) among the PAA films prepared in the usual solutions.

Abstract: Irrespective of all affirmative physiochemical properties of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hollow fiber (HF) membrane, its promotion to be served for water purification function is significantly threatened by biofouling which is known as the primary problem in the membrane technology. The hydrophobic nature of PTFE attracts biofoulants leading to the pore blockage and lowering of the flux and functional life. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper investigates the geopolymers with metal microparticles (metal powder) as additives and assesses the antimicrobial effect on these composites. Samples of geopolymers were prepared with 4 % silver, copper, or nickel microparticle additive. [..] Read more

Abstract: Controlled drug release is the transport of an active compound of biologically active agents with a defined time-concentration function. The release of these active compounds from materials is currently achieved by numerical models, based on simple kinetics of the first order, that are used to analyze experimental processes.In this contribution, we propose a model that enables us to design complex, multi-layered material and define the desired time-concentration function for the release. [..] Read more

Abstract: The fine control of mono- or bi-metallic nanoparticles‘ (NPs) chemical composition is one of the most critical concerns in nanomaterial manufacturing; however, when metals holding dissimilar characteristics form bi-metallic NPs, this becomes an unresolved matter. Herein we present the successful control of doping two different magnetic elements - nickel and iron- into bismuth to produce magnetic NPs with optical characteristics of semiconductors. [..] Read more

Abstract: The Plasma-Assisted Vapour Thermal Deposition (PAVTD) is thin-film deposition technique utilizing a classical polymer as a source of material. The polymer is heated to fragmentation/evaporation under low pressure. [..] Read more

Abstract: We theoretically investigate the effects of the surrounding media and sizes on the optical absorbance of a periodic square array of GaAs nanowires (NWs) as a candidate of photovoltaic solar cells. The filling media considered are: PMMA, Polycarbonate, Polystyrene and PVP, commonly used in the science and technology of semiconductors. [..] Read more

Abstract: The main purpose of this work is to explore the possibilities of preparing conducting composite containing graphite or graphene from anilinium/montmorillonite intercalates. The use of only a precursor (without polymerization) is a fundamental difference compared to earlier research devoted to the preparation of graphite/graphene-silicate composites from polyaniline/montmorillonite intercalates. [..] Read more

Abstract: Open-source software, devices, and systems allow other researchers and investigators to replicate, develop and enhance the reported systems in the literature. This paper introduces an open-source system for optical fiber grinding and polishing, which facilitates and speeds up the polishing and grinding process. [..] Read more
