In this work, potentials, state-of-the-art and development of hybrid wind-solar plants in the eastern-North Africa zone have been studied. Since the use of the renewable energy sources requires an accurate evaluation and planning, an optimization procedure has been adopted: the protocol exploits data such as solar radiation and cumulative mean wind speedwhich are available for each node of the ...

Dendrochronological analysis was carried out for 13 historic icons from the collection of the Museum of the Folk Building in Sanok, painted on fir and spruce boards. Eleven sequences of the annual growth rings produced from the analysed fir boards were absolutely dated against the fir dendrochronological standard for S Poland, constructed by E. Szychowska-Krąpiec. Most of the analysed objects d...

In this paper, we present a survey of state-of-the-art systems for automatic processing of recognition of under-resourced languages of the Eastern Europe, in particular, East Slavic languages (Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian), which share some common prominent features including Cyrillic alphabet, phonetic classes, morphological structure of wordforms and relatively free grammar. A large voca...

This essay explores Ezekiel 23 as a text about art and aesthetics. As an aesthetic response to artistic endeavour, it argues that the description of Oholibah’s act viewing must be placed within context strategies for verbalizing visual phenomenon in biblical literature. And work art, carved Chaldean officers understood larger ancient Near Eastern conventions. The convergence these distinct but ...

A common theme in recent landscape studies is the comparison of riparian and watershed land use as predictors of stream health. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of reach-scale habitat and remotely assessed watershed-scale habitat as predictors of stream health over varying spatial extents. Stream health was measured with scores on a fish index of biotic integrity (IBI)...

The aim of this preliminary study was to estimate the proportions of seropositive horses on infected premises (IPs) in order to assess the attack risk of the disease. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the differences in attack risks between enterprise sizes and predefined spatial clusters/regions. The average attack risk experienced during the outbreak was 96.88% (median 1...
