The input data of the daylight simulation were: CIE overcast sky model with the gradation of sky luminance 1:3 from horizon to zenith; the light reflectance of inner surfaces: walls ρ = 0.5, ceiling ρ = 0.7, floor ρ = 0.3; window: double glazed, clear glass, the light transmittance of the glazing: 0.75, the coefficient of the window construction: 0.70; the maintenance factor for the interior: 0.95; the maintenance factor for the exterior: 0.90.
A reduction in the average Daylight Factor DFave ranges from 0.12 to 0.16 p. p.
A designed change of optical properties of a façade (e.g. colour change) of an existing building resulting in a decrease in the light reflectance of the façade often is not assessed from the point of view of the impact on the Daylight Factor DFw on neighbouring buildings despite the fact that this change can cause a reduction in the criterion DFw.

Nowadays, Taguchi design method and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) are widely used in investigating the optimal parameters in experimental process because of they allow to quickly optimize and analyze the data in a controlled way before and after the experiments [1].
Further, the cause behind minimum wear loss observed in tribopair2 compared to tribopair1 may also attributed to considerable reduction in the temperature in tribopair2 (Fig. 4(b)).

Because of the hydrogen evolution before the reduction of the metals, electrodeposition of such elements can not be done in the traditional aqueous solution [5].
By comparing the data of Tab. 1 and considering the microstructures reported in Fig. 4 four different situations related to the surface of the samples can be identified.
Additionally, for the sample holder, as highlighted in Fig. 2b, there is a significant reduction of the section (circled region) with an evident sign of corrosion.

In 90s the reduction in steel production took place, while reaching in 1990 the level of 8.8 million tons (MT).
Before the restructuring process steelworks used to produce over 9 kg of dust per 1 ton of crude steel (data from 1989).
Dust emission and slag in Polish steel industry in 1989-2014 [9] Summary The analysis of changes that was carried out in the environment scope confirmed that a significant reduction in pollution emission from steelworks was achieved.

Potential mechanisms of probiotic action include: maintenance of mucosal intestinal resistance to infectious diseases; prevention of vaginitis; production of antimicrobial metabolites and nutriceuticals; immunomodulation; relief of constipation and prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea; metal detoxification; serum cholesterol and blood pressure reduction; prevention and alleviation of allergic diseases; management of a topic dermatitis; prevention of surgical wound infection and tooth decay; regression of tumors and reduction in carcinogen and mutagen production [2–9].
The experiment was completed in triplicate and means were calculated for each treatment group at each data collection point.

As promising candidates, SrFeCoO3-δ oxides may be applied in sorbents for air separation and oxygen removal [2,3], and production of oxygen-enriched carbon dioxide stream [4], membrane reactor for catalytic partial oxidation of methane to syngas [5], solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and new cathode materials for oxygen reduction [6,7].
From the data obtained by XRD, the main crystalline phase can be indexed on the basis of a perovskite-type SrFe0.5Co0.5O3, cubic structure (JCPDS 46-0335).
While β-oxygen desorption is ascribable to the reduction of B cations to lower valence [18].

Powder XRD data were collected between 3 and 40º 2θ on a X´Pert MPD Philips diffractometer using Cu-Kα radiation (λ = 1.54178 Å).
Concerning the bands for the host framework, no significant changes occurred in the Si-O bands (at about 1025 cm -1), while on the other hand the Ti-O stretching mode at 727 cm-1 underwent a drastic reduction in all of the ETS-10/Fc + samples.
The ion exchange treatments cause a drastic reduction in the intensity of the IR/Raman band at about 727 cm-1 for the Ti-O stretching mode of the host framework.

Electroless nickel-boron plating is a chemical reduction process which depends upon the catalytic reduction of nickel ions by a chemical agent in aqueous solution and the subsequent deposition of nickel metal without the use of electrical energy [2-3].
EIS measurements were carried out in the frequency range 105 - 10-2 Hz, with a sinusoidal signal perturbation of 5 mV and 50 data points taken per interval.

The conductance below room temperature down to -200°C decreased with increasing Ca content according to a reduction of the Ni oxidation state.
The data of electrical conductance measured in air by a four-probe DC method were collected from 50°C to 800°C with a heating rate of 4°C/min.
Their explanation concerned a decrease of the Ni(Co)-O covalent interactions, resulting in a reduction of their electronic conductivity.

Given the joining partners, only the reduction of brazing temperature is possible.
Simulation results The results of the simulations of the cooling process are in good agreement with experimental data.
Since the reduction of residual stresses through plastic deformations is more effective than a lower brazing temperature, a designer should choose a filler metal with a lower yield stress.
