Abstract: Adulteration of polycarbonate (PC) drinking bottles with postconsumer recycled PC materials was considerably difficult to identify due to similar chemical compositions and minute differences between virgin and recycled PC materials. In the present study, UV/Vis spectroscopy coupled with GC-MS analysis was carried out to identify the adulteration with recycled materials in PC drinking bottles. The minimum adulterating level which could be detected was 20 %. This strategy represents a rapid and promising analytical method for screening the adulteration of PC drinking bottles with postconsumer recycled plastics.

Abstract: For materials, science it is important to study the structure and behavior of matter at the deepest level. Currently, modern microscopes allow one to see the atomic structure of matter. Materials should be prepared in a special way, for research in the microscope, but thus the natural structure of the material may changed. Especially, the processes at the atomic level are difficult to explore. In a computer model of matter, one can account the properties of atoms and even its electron structure. In this paper, by molecular dynamics method the structure and evolution of the palladium and its compounds with hydrogen are investigated. In the work equilibrium structure of the crystal lattice of palladium was obtained and determined the equilibrium lattice parameter at different temperatures. The behavior of the hydrogen atom inside the crystal lattice of palladium was studied. The structural and diffusion properties system palladium-hydrogen were obtained

Abstract: The primary aim of the research, whose results are presented in this article, was to investigate the process of visual identification of objects. The objects recognised under this research were passenger seats for mass transit applications. The system presented in this paper is intended to be incorporated in the production process control system. The problem under analysis is based on the need to recognise (identify) an object located in the process area of the machine before proceeding with the process. Neural network was chosen as the adaptive element due to a high degree of similarity between the semi-products. The function of the network was to check if correct element had been fed. The input data fed to the network was the information from processing the photo images of these elements. The results of research as presented in this article are based on a limited set of elements and present the method used for solving the task of identification.

Abstract: Some unfortunate accidents of large amount of oil hydrocarbons have been reported in Mediterranean Sea which has caused severe environmental damage to the area. To safeguard the Libyan coastline and marine ecologysince thousands of human activity such as fishing largely depends on the healthycoastal environment.Twenty crude oil-degrading bacterial isolates were obtained from oil-contaminated sites at Al Hariga Oil Terminal and Nafoora Oilfield. Based on a high growth rate in crude oil and hydrocarbon degradation efficiency, two isolates were selected from the twenty isolates for further analysis. The nucleotide sequence of 16S rRNA gene showed that these isolates are likely Pseudomonas aeruginosa andKocuriapastrius. One of the isolates is a potential Gram-negative Pseudomonas bacterium based on petroleum hydrocarbon degradation efficiency and potent emulsifying activity; thus, this isolate is identified as P. aeruginosa NAF1; the other isolate K. pastrius SAR3 is identified as a Gram-positive bacterium. Corn steep liquor (CSL) and solid waste date (SWD) were used for an in situ molasses technique to enhance bacterial growth and biodegradation efficiency. P. aeruginosa NAF1 exhibited 70% and 76% crude oil degradation in 0.2% (w/v) CSL and SWD in 28 d, respectively. Likewise, K. pastrius SAR3 yielded 68% and 70% crude oil degradation in 0.2% (w/v) CSL and SWD in 28 d, respectively.

Abstract: A damage model for thin adhesively bonded joints is presented, which predicts the time to creep-fatigue failure of the joint subjected to combined static and cyclic sustained loadings with constant or variable amplitudes. The influences of particular model parameters on the predicted lifetime are elaborated suggesting the proposed stepwise parameter identification strategy by means of creep and Wöhler fatigue tests until rupture. The parameters are identified and computationally optimized. As a conclusion, the model prediction is verified and validated.

Abstract: The paper deals with the identification of material model based on the internal variable. The model with one internal variable, which was average dislocation density, was considered. Identification was performed using inverse analysis (IA) of uniaxial compression tests. In this work IA was transformed to an optimization task and the goal function was defined as difference (in Euclid's norm) between measured and calculated parameters: loads in plastometric tests (used to identify flow stress) and stresses in stress relaxation tests (used to identify recrystallization kinetics). Exploring a possibility of making the identification more reliable by application the Sensitivity Analysis (SA) was the main objective of the work. The IA was preceded by SA of the model output with respect to the model parameters to select an efficient optimization algorithm and/or eliminate local minima. Selected results of identification for different materials are presented in the paper, as well.
