Popsány jsou možné varianty pohonu, tj. použitelné druhy motorů a způsoby řízení otáček; diskutovány jsou rovněž aplikovatelné technologie akumulátorů. Závěrečná část práce je věnována ekonomickému pos...
The assessment of the catalytic performance of &ldquo / hybrid&rdquo / metal/zeolite catalysts (based on FER or MFI structure and CuZnZr metal complexes) in the methanol dehydration step to DME has been studied in this work. The results clearly show that there is an important effect of the interaction between metal and acid sites affecting the acid...
The effect of modification of MFI zeolite 1&ndash / 5 wt.% ZnO activated by plasma on acid and catalytic properties in the conversion of the propane&ndash / butane fraction into arenes was investigated. The high-silica zeolites with silicate module 45 were synthesized from alkaline alumina&ndash / silica gels in the presence of an &lsquo / X-oil&rs...

A construction contract is a mechanism to bind a project owner and a contractor in a legal agreement to construct a project against a designated monitory consideration. However, projects are usually assembled over a long period with high uncertainty and complexity. Under such a dynamic business transaction, current static contracts fail to arrange ...

Background: Modifications in Jaffe serum creatinine (sCr) assays question the suitability of the results for direct comparison. Methods: sCr in adult in-patients was routinely measured either by SRM 909-standardized/noncompensated (method A) or isotope dilution mass spectrometry traceable/compensated method (reference). We converted values by metho...

One of the hypotheses about mental representation of conversion (i.e., zero-derivation) claims that converted forms are a product of a costly mental process that converts a word’s category into another one when needed, i.e., depending on the syntactic context in which the word appears. The empirical evidence for the claim is based primarily on self...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disorder manifested as Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) characterized by intestinal inflammation and involves a dysregulated immune response against commensal microbiota through the activation of CD4 T helper cells. T helper cell differentiation to effector or regulatory phenotypes is co...
The process of converting individuals to a particular religious community is one of the issues addressed by the Sociology of Religion. In the post-socialist Montenegrin society, there have been research works related to dominant religious communities, the Orthodox, the Roman Catholic, and the Islamic, while science has shown no interest in small re...

Background The major limitations of widespread use of non-intubated thoracic surgery (NITS) is the fear of managing complications. Here we present our practice of converting from uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) NITS to open NITS in cases of surgical complications. Methods The study period was from January 26, 2017, to November 30, ...
