M. Łucarz, AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Foundry and Enginering, Kraków, Poland The application of thermogravimetric analysis can be very useful in the method since an extensive range of resins is used in founding. The thermal analysis performed for three different binders indicated the similar destruction mechanism. Along with the temperature increase the mass decrease o...

Eukaryotic genomes contain many conserved regions of unknown function. Accurately assessing the protein coding potential of these regions is a key step in annotation. We develop three protein coding measures that directly assess conserved regions in multiple sequence alignments of many species: one based on phase-shifts induced by alignment gaps, another based on the 3rd position mutation asymm...

K. Kaczmarska, B. Grabowska, D. Drożyński, AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Foundry Engineering, Krakow, Poland The results of preliminary tests of selected properties of the moulding sands with the binder in the form of a 5 % water solution of the sodium salt of carboxymethyl starch (with a degree of substitution (DS) of 0,2 and 0,87) are presented in this study. The mouldi...

Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science, AGH University of Science and Technology al. A. Mickiewicza 30, PL-30-059 Kraków, Poland Simulations are performed according to the Axelrod model of culture dissemination, with modi ed mechanism of repulsion. Previously, repulsion was considered by Radillo-Diaz et al. as dependent on a prede ned threshold. Here the probabilities of attraction and...

J. Zych, J. Kolczyk, Ł. Jamrozowicz, AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Foundry Engineering, Kraków, Poland Multi-layer ceramic moulds are built of slurry and a refractory material forming their matrices. From the moment when the European Union introduced regulations concerning the environment protection requiring substitution of alcoholic binders by aqueous binders, several d...

R. Klempka, AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatics, Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering, Krakow, Poland The article presents an example of power supply system modernization in one of Polish steelworks. For the existing power system containing 3rd harmonics filters it was necessary to design a C-type filter for the 2nd harmonics. Two desig...

Ł. Jamrozowicz, J. Zych, J. Kolczyk, AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Foundry Engineering, Kraków, Poland Investigation results of the drying rate of the selected protective coatings (water and alcohol) are presented in the article. Coating drying rate was determined for the first and second layers. The coating was applied to moulding sand cores. The rate of drying coatings ...
