Abstract: Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor in men, whose incidence is significantly different geographically and increases with age. For rapid diagnostics, new tumor markers with higher prognostic relevance are still being sought. [..] Read more

Abstract: Electrorheological (ER) suspension are special class of systems, those physical properties, such as viscosity can be tuned using external electric field strength. Generally, they are two-phase systems consisting of solid polarizable particles and liquid insulating medium. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the paper customer preferences regarding copper wires were determined, special attention to the technical characteristics of wires were focused, that would meet customer expectations. To build a quality house, information from direct production employees as well as technologists and constructors were used. [..] Read more

Abstract: This study is focused on the synthesis of core-shell type of magnetic particles, where magnetic core is carbonyl iron (CI) microparticles and conducting shell is poly(2-(1H-pyrrole-1-yl)ethyl methacrylate) (PPEMA) synthesized using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technique. In order to obtain core-shell particles the surface-initiated (SI)-ATRP is used, where both benefits, magnetic behaviour of core and conducting behaviour of shell, are advantages for their intended application as materials for electromagnetic shielding of piezo-resistors.

Abstract: Increase of surface wettability on glass was observed after atmospheric pressure plasma treatment using two different plasma sources. First used plasma source was Diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD) and second was commercial gliding arc. [..] Read more

Abstract: Presented works investigates a possibility of using modeling based on artificial neural network for prediction of liquidus temperatures of low-alloyed steels. Paper describes the methodology of creating such model by tools incorporated in commercial software MATLAB. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article presents the way of improving usable properties of cast irons by producing titanate coats in founding process, introducing titanium insert directly before pouring molten metal. It is presented an innovative way to use 3D technology applying SLS method in order to obtain local reinforcement of cast iron. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper concerns the possibility of the use of modern non-contact measurement techniques in a die forges, like application a measuring arms with integrated linear scanners to analyze wear of forging instrumentation. In particular, to assess the progress of tool wear forging - punch used in the second forging operation of the forging type cover. [..] Read more

Abstract: The residual lifetime assessment and the risk of a possible service components failure are critical issues in the safety and reliability analyses of industrial plants. The residual lifetime can be evaluated by the standard mechanical test techniques, such as the tensile test, uniaxial creep test, the Charpy or the fracture toughness test. [..] Read more

Abstract: The effectiveness of simulation techniques in the design of logistics systems is becoming increasingly emphasized nowadays. With this in mind, a system design procedure, including simulation research, is proposed in this article. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper deals with evaluation of bending fatigue behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in high-cycle area. The microstructural changes under cyclic loading have been investigated using acoustic emission method. [..] Read more

Abstract: With increasing interest in lightweight construction and cost-efficient sheet production methods, the twin roll casting of non-ferrous metals is constantly developing, due to the combination of several different process steps into one process. However, its challenge is the impossibility of direct recording of important process parameters such as temperature and pressure distribution in the rolling gap, in order to control product properties, due to the difficult process conditions. [..] Read more

Abstract: The presented research was focused on optimizing the internal equipment of the tundish with respect to residence times between the middle (No. 2) and two lateral casting strands (No. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article will deal with the determination of austenite decomposition temperatures using the available SW FactSage. The determination of austenite decomposition temperatures is one of the basic information that can provide the technologist and subsequently help to change the properties of steel during steel processing.
