SŁOWNIK HYDROGEOLOGICZNY. angielsko-polski, polsko-angielski

Author(s): Marek Rogoż / Language(s): English,Polish

Idea opracowania słownika powstała w wyniku doświadczeń autora, który przez ponad 40 lat, jako pracownik naukowy, zajmował się problematyką hydrogeologiczną, często korzystał z bardzo bogatej anglojęzycznej literatury naukowej i technicznej oraz współpracował z licznymi zagranicznymi placówkami badawczymi. W pracach tych poważnym utrudnieniem był brak dobrego, współczesnego słownika angielsko-polskiego i polsko-angielskiego terminologii hydrogeologicznej. Niniejszy słownik stanowi próbę uzupełnienia tego braku. Powinien on ułatwić polskim pracownikom naukowym oraz licznej rzeszy studentów hydrogeologii, górnictwa, ochrony środowiska i nauk pokrewnych korzystanie z anglojęzycznej literatury technicznej i naukowej, bez której ani poważnie traktowane studia, ani postęp naukowy nie wydają się możliwe.W słowniku uwzględniono nie tylko terminologię czysto hydrogeologiczną, ale również wykorzystywane w hydrogeologii terminy z nauk i dziedzin pokrewnych, jak matematyka, fizyka, geologia, ochrona środowiska itp. Ze zrozumiałych względów lista terminów z poszczególnych dziedzin nie jest pełna: przy ich doborze kierowano się doświadczeniem i intuicją autora. Słownik, zarówno w wersji angielsko-polskiej, jak i polsko-angielskiej, ma budowę gniazdową – do każdego hasła głównego włączono najczęściej występujące terminy złożone, zawierające to hasło. W obrębie danego gniazda wyraz hasłowy skracany jest do pierwszej litery. W celu zwiększenia funkcjonalności słownika zamieszczono w nim osobne zestawienia: ważniejszych skrótów i skrótowców stosowanych w pracach angielskich i polskich oraz jednostek miar stosowanych w krajach anglojęzycznych z przeliczeniem na jednostki Międzynarodowego Układu SI. W słowniku zastosowano ortografię brytyjską.

Експеримент с мобилна станция и дисперсионно моделиране в търсене на отговор на въпроса трафикът ли е източникът на пиковите обгазявания на Стара Загора с азотни оксиди

Author(s): Yanka Stoyanova,Nikolai Takuchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2018

Between 2006 and 2012, the stationary automatic air quality monitoring station in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria repeatedly registered peaks of the nitrogen dioxide concentration over-treshold levels (the highest so far in Bulgaria), with unknown origin. The main suspect was traffic оn the street near the measuring station. The behavior and intensity of air pollution with nitrogen oxides emitted by the motor vehicles crossing a city junction, with three times more intense traffic than that near the stationary station, was investigated. The study included vehicle counting and subsequent dispersion modeling. At the time of counting, total urban nitrogen pollution in the junction area was measured by a mobile station. Within seven years - 2010, 2011 and 2017 were conducted three studies of the junction. It was found that for 7 years in the city‘s car fleet only the number of small passenger cars is decreased (49 times). The maximum concentrations of nitrogen oxides, both measured and calculated, are close in magnitude and are several times smaller than the peak values measured by the stationary station. That is, the analysis of the experiment data showed that the traffic is not the source of the peak pollution with nitrogen dioxide over Stara Zagora. Nitrogen oxides pollution often concentrates around the southwestern corner of city junctions due to the prevailing wind direction from the north-northeast.

Faune cavernicole de la Grece

Author(s): Petar Beron / Language(s): French

Petar Beron Sc.D worked at the Institute of Zoology and the National Museum of Natural History at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences as a biologist from 1963 to 2010. Specializing in acarology and Biospeleology, he began exploring caves and cave fauna since 1955. He went on expeditions in New Guinea, Indonesia, Mexico, Cuba, China, Vietnam, on the Balkan Peninsula, in Corsica and South America. In his journeys, he discovered many new species of caves and animals. Author and co-author of many books and articles on speleology, zoogeography, and acarology. The second monograph of the series, devoted to the cave fauna of the Balkan Peninsula, treats Greece, a country full of caves (more than 10 miles) and only 240 caves have been the subject of biospeleological research. The 630 species of cavernicolous animals, published until 2015, are listed with their localities and notes on their biology. The caves of some animals are briefly described, and some observations have been made of the zoogeography of this fauna. The Greek fauna is compared with the cave faunas of neighboring countries. The bibliography contains more than 300 titles of works regarding the Greek fauna inhabiting the caves. This fauna is very different from the fauna of neighboring countries. During the author's field surveys (since 1968) he has found several new species such as Speleodentorcula, Telsonius, Titanophyllum, Thassoblaniulus, Alistratia, Maroniela, Jason and others.

Загадки на зоогеографията

Author(s): Petar Beron / Language(s): Bulgarian

The book explores contemporary trends in zoogeography. Hypotheses for the settlement of the islands of Madagascar, New Zealand, Fiji, New Caledonia and many other areas of the earth and oceans are discussed. This edition raises many questions, some of which about mysteries and real puzzles - how the moa came to New Zealand, why the Madagascar fauna is so different from the African one. There is evidence of the mysterious fauna of caves such as Movile and Ayalon. Along with the past of Sahara and Antarctica, the fauna of the Balkan Peninsula has not been missed. The separate chapters are accompanied by the most important literature on the issues at stake.

Centrální Českomoravská vrchovina na prahu vrcholného středověku. Archeologie, geochemie a rozbory sedimentárních výplní niv.

Author(s): Petr Hrubý,Petr Hejhal,Karel Malý,Petr Kočár,Libor Petr / Language(s): Czech

The book presents the synthesis of the environmental and archaeological approaches which can answer a principally historical questions related to the uprise of the high mediaeval settlement structure but also of the beginnings of the gold and silver exploitation in the project base area. The book offers structured data to the mediaeval development in the region which is still lacking direct archaelogical evidence in many areas. A low and sometimes difficult detectability of early deforestation, settlement and a whole spectre of the mining activities is compensated by archaeoenvironmental, geochemical and archaeometallurgical analytics of the alluvial sediments in this territory.

This study presents the possibilities for using different colour models for visual interpretation of satellite imagery. Using the RGB model to visualise different spectral bands as a false colour composite image make it possible for different types of objects and features on the Earth surface to be highlighted and easily discerned based on their specific colour. Examples are shown based on satellite imagery from several free sources, e.g. the USGS’s Earth Explorer, the ESA’s Copernicus Open Access Hub, etc.

Иновативни образователни практики и политики чрез прилагане на геоинформационни системи и технологии

Author(s): Kliment Naydenov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2021

Modern global education is characterized by an active transition to the use of new geographic information technologies. The new educational policy orients teachers and university professors towards the introduction of modern teaching methods based on the use of geoinformation and communication technologies. Modern educational technologies provide an opportunity for maximum solution of the problems for the development of education and its individualization. The system for retraining and in-service training of teachers (and teachers in pedagogical universities)also does not sufficiently take into account the vital need to master information technology by working teachers. So far, the processes of self-education predominate in the development of such technologies. Information and communication technologies(ICT) are evolving rapidly on a daily basis. Geographic information technologies, such as geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS) or global positioning systems (GPS) are important parts of ICT. They are used especially in geography education, but are not limited to this. Geographic information technologies provide such new methods and means of information processing that provide high visibility for displaying diverse information and an accessible set of tools for reality analysis. GIS has great potential for information analysis in order to make management decisions in the socio-economic sphere. The publication reveals the problems of higher and secondary education related to modern geoinformation technologies for searching, interpreting and demonstrating various geographical data. Basic guidelines for the development of the implementation of geoinformation technologies in the learning environment are presented.

LEGAL REGIME OF PROPERTY OF LAND IN ROMAN PROVINCES

Author(s): Stoyan P. Ivanov / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

The paper considers the specific problem of the land property outside Italy in the Roman provinces during the period of the late Roman Republic and the early Principate. The author studies how the Roman government faced the new problems that the conquest created and what Rome actually did when first met the Hellenistic concepts of the land property in the conquered territories and how they were applied or modified according to the traditional Roman law principles and regulations. It is emphasized that the need to organize the territory and to define the property of the people who lived on that territory or the rights which they had to the land for a very first time occurred in Sicily which the Romans organized as the first Roman provincia. The article examines the organization of Sicily according to Lex Hieronica, it considers the exemptions and immunities of some cities from the general legal regime of the province, and studies the collection of public revenues and the payments for the taxes for the exploitation of the land – vectigal et vectigalia publica. Key notions and terms like possessio, dominium, mancipatio, vectigal, vectigalia, tributum, stipendium are cleared and special attention is paid to the correct use of the Latin legal terminology. Some of the most important fragments from the Institutes of Gaius about the provincial property are examined and is made a carefully study of his language and the legal aspects of his consideration of the rights that the individuals had over the provincial lands. The research presents in details the organization of other provinces in the late Roman Republic and the early Principate and deals with the richest Roman province – Asia, which brings huge revenues to the Roman budget. Central part of the study is dedicated to the legal regime of the provincial land and the author considers the main opinions on this topic in the recent Roman legal doctrine and translates and analyzes the relevant classical Latin texts in the sources and provides an important bibliography on the problem, he tries also to define the Roman concept for „provincial property“ which for sure was not identical with the dominium ex iure Quiritium in Italy.

MAPOVÁNÍ VIRTUÁLNÍCH INFRASTRUKTUR PRO REGIONÁLNÍ SHLUKOVÉ ANALÝZY

Author(s): Josef Botlík,Milena Botlíková / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The aim of this paper is to present results of modeling of regional infrastructures. The paper is based on research into customer relationship management in SMEs. Part of this research was the identification of the influence of foreigners with long-term residence in the Czechia on supplier-customer relationships given by the region of origin of foreigners. The research was focused on regional geospatial relations, associated with dislocation of source countries of which 185 have been identified. The aim of the analysis was to identify spatial relationships (clusters of areas with increasing, decreasing and constant distribution of the number of foreigners) using a virtual infrastructure modeled using minimal distances. To identify relationships, a model has been developed to model infrastructure at different regional levels. Infrastructure properties were set using additional parameters. However, this modeled infrastructure shows disproportions which need to be identified and eliminated, and in this sense, the generation of infrastructure. Comparison method, exploratory analysis, multiagent systems simulation, incidence and precedence matrix and geostatistics were used to identify infrastructure characteristics. The research proved the importance of individual infrastructure parameters, especially the number of minimum edges for individual states.
