Description and Validation of Hydraulic Performance and Environmental Impacts of Sewer Systems
No full textDescription and validation of hydraulic performance and their environmental impacts on sewer systems
No full textThe functionality of municipal infrastructures is a primary determinant of the ecological, economic and social conditions of a city. The urban wastewater system (sewer network) provides an example of such an infrastructure. High sewer network reliability is an important and mandatory requirement that must be satisfied under field conditions. The reliability of a system is a measure of the probability that the system is functional through some entire period of time. A buried sewer pipe is subject to a large number of influences difficult to predict in advance, since they are random and characterized by significant variability. These factors adversely affect sewer network reliability
WaterMet<sup>2</sup>: a tool for integrated analysis of sustainability-based performance of urban water systems
No full textThis paper presents the "WaterMet2" model for long-term assessment of
urban water system (UWS) performance which will be used for strategic
planning of the integrated UWS. WaterMet2 quantifies the principal
water-related flows and other metabolism-based fluxes in the UWS such as
materials, chemicals, energy and greenhouse gas emissions. The suggested
model is demonstrated through sustainability-based assessment of an
integrated real-life UWS for a daily time-step over a 30-year planning
horizon. The integrated UWS modelled by WaterMet2 includes both water
supply and wastewater systems. Given a rapid population growth,
WaterMet2 calculates six quantitative sustainability-based indicators
of the UWS. The result of the water supply reliability (94%) shows the
need for appropriate intervention options over the planning horizon. Five
intervention strategies are analysed in WaterMet2 and their quantified
performance is compared with respect to the criteria. Multi-criteria
decision analysis is then used to rank the intervention strategies based on
different weights from the involved stakeholders' perspectives. The results
demonstrate that the best and robust strategies are those which improve the
performance of both water supply and wastewater systems
Self-assembly of noble metal monolayers on transition metal carbide nanoparticle catalysts
No full textWe demonstrated the self-assembly of transition metal carbide nanoparticles coated with atomically thin noble metal monolayers by carburizing mixtures of noble metal salts and transition metal oxides encapsulated in removable silica templates. This approach allows for control of the final core-shell architecture, including particle size, monolayer coverage, and heterometallic composition. Carbon-supported Ti[subscript 0.1]W[subscript 0.9]C nanoparticles coated with Pt or bimetallic PtRu monolayers exhibited enhanced resistance to sintering and CO poisoning, achieving an order of magnitude increase in specific activity over commercial catalysts for methanol electrooxidation after 10,000 cycles. These core-shell materials provide a new direction to reduce the loading, enhance the activity, and increase the stability of noble metal catalysts.United States. Dept. of Energy.

Umelecký preklad ako osobitný druh jazykovej a interkultúrnej komunikácie
No full textV prvej časti príspevku stručne charakterizujeme román srbského spisovateľa Milorada Pavića Drugo telo. V jeho druhej časti konfrontujeme srbský originál so slovenským prekladom Karola Chmela. Na základe ich analýzy konštatujeme, že preklad umeleckých textov nepozostáva iba z výmeny lingvistických prostriedkov medzi dvoma jazykovými systémami, ale ide o zložitý proces založený predovšetkým na všestrannej erudícii prekladateľa. Hoci genetická príbuznosť srbčiny a slovenčiny uľahčuje ich obojstrannú zrozumiteľnosť, bez potrebnej jazykovej prípravy nezaručuje mechanicky ich bezproblémovú preložiteľnosť.In the first part of the article we briefly introduce a novel written by Serbian author Milorad Pavić called Drugo telo. In the second part the Serbian original version is compared to its Slovak translation by Karol Chmel. Based on the analysis we observe that translation of a literary text does not consist only of the exchange of linguistic tools between two language systems, but it is a very complicated process based especially on the general erudition of the translator, too. Even though the genetic relation of the Serbian and Slovak languages makes their mutual understanding easier, an automatic translatability is not guaranteed without the necessary linguistic preparation.V prvej časti príspevku stručne charakterizujeme román srbského spisovateľa Milorada Pavića Drugo telo.

Adjectives denoting emotions in English and Serbian: a cognitive linguistic analysis ; Имена прилагательные со значением эмоций в английском и сербском языках: когнитивно-лингвистический анализ
No full textPredmet istraživanja u ovom radu su pridevi koji označavaju emocije u engleskom i srpskom
jeziku iz perspektive kognitivne lingvistike. Prvi cilj istraživanja bio je da se utvrdi
pojmovno- značenjska struktura kategorije prideva koji označavaju emocije u oba jezika što
uključuje utvrđivanje toga koji članovi kategorije su prototipični i kakva je pozicija ostalih
članova u odnosu na granice ovog leksičkog skupa. Drugi cilj istraživanja bio je da se utvrde
sličnosti i razlike u konceptualizaciji emocija u okviru ove vrste reči. U istraživanju je
korišćena građa iz tezaurusa i rečnika kao i korpusna građa, a obrađeno je ukupno 732
engleskih i 418 srpskih prideva koji označavaju emocije. Takođe, u radu je korišćena anketna
metoda i sproveden asocijativni test među 120 govornika engleskog i srpskog jezika.
Rezultati ankete su pokazali da su centralni članovi skupa prideva koji označavaju emocije
pridevi E happy i S srećan. Granice kategorije nisu jasno omeđene zbog toga što su u nju
uključeni i pridevi koji označavaju ljudske osobine. U radu su obrađeni kako pridevi koji
označavaju prototipične emocije: sreću, tugu, ljutnju i strah, tako i druga emocionalna stanja
kao što su: spokoj, zainteresovanost, privlačnost, želja, saosećanje, ljubav, ponos, zahvalnost,
stid itd. Jezička građa ukazuje na to da u lingvističkom smislu postoji kontinuum između
emocija, motivacije i raspoloženja, te da pridevi koji ih označavaju čine skup nejasnih
granica...This thesis is aimed at exploring adjectives denoting emotions in English and Serbian from a
cognitivelinguistic point of view. The first goal of the thesis was to determine the structure of
the category of adjectives denoting emotions in the two languages, with focus on the
prototypical members and the position of other members of the lexical set in the whole
category. The second goal of the research was to compare and contrast the conceptualization
of emotions as represented in this class of words. The research was based on the data from the
corpus, dictionaries and thesauri, and included 732 English adjectives and 418 Serbian
adjectives denoting emotions. Also, the thesis comprises results obtained through a survey
conducted among 120 native speakers of English and Serbian.
The results of the survey show that the central members of the category of adjectives denoting
emotions are the adjectives E happy and S srećan (“happy”). The boundaries of the category
are fuzzy as it also includes the adjectives denoting personalizy traits. The paper deals with
adjectives denoting prototypical emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger and fear, but also
other emotional states such as calmness, interest, attraction, desire, empathy, love, pride,
gratitude, shame etc. From the linguistic point of view it is noticable that there is a continuum
between emotions, motivational states and mood, and the adjectives denoting them form a set
with fuzzy boundaries..
