Although a considerable amount of research has addressed the use building information modelling (BIM) in facilities management (FM) within past years, there is limited systematic review on investigating potentials BIM operation and maintenance (O&M) life cycle phase. Yet, this phase could account for approximately 60% total costs assets. The purpose paper to conduct literature application O...

The Arno River seasonal discharge as an index of climate variability: trends and connections to the larger scale variability. The research of the historical record of ice falls brings together many cases that are apparently similar (1–3). Practically all clear-sky ice falls were not appropriately researched because they were routinely assigned, without verification, to aircraft icing processes,...

Saunders & van Brakel’s criticism of Berlin & Kay’s methodology misunderstands the fact that scientific hypotheses are tested by generating new, replicable data with novel explanatory power. Thus, although Berlin and Kay studied differences in colour words between languages, the same patterns are also present in colour word usage within languages, in a range of literary and other textual databa...

The purpose of this study was to establish the dynamics and kinetics of the aromatic hydrocarbons breakdown in aqueous environment. The investigated compounds were: benzene, toluene, m-xylene, p-xylene and styrene. These substances even in low concentrations threaten surface waters taken for municipal purposes because of their toxicity and also mutagenic and tumorigenic properties. The study wa...
