    This paper summarizes the methods and results of error modelling and propagation analyses in the Olše and Stonávka confluence area. In terrain analyses, the outputs of the aforementioned analysis are always a function of input. Two approaches according to the input data were used to generate field elevation errors which subsequently entered the error propagation analysis. The main goal solved in this research was to show the importance of input data in slope estimation and to estimate the elevation error propagation as well as to identify DEM errors and their consequences. Dependencies were investigated as well to achieve a better prediction of slope errors. Four different digital elevation model (DEM) resolutions (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 meters) were examined with the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) rating up to 0.317 meters (10 m DEM). They all originated from a LIDAR survey. In the analyses, a stochastic Monte Carlo simulation was performed with 250 iterations. The article focuses on the error propagation in a large-scale area using high quality input DEM and Monte Carlo methods. The DEM uncertainty (RMSE) was obtained by sampling and ground research (RTK GPS) and from subtraction of two DEMs. According to empirical error distribution a semivariogram was used to model spatially autocorrelated uncertainty in elevation. The second procedure modelled the uncertainty without autocorrelation using a random N(0,RMSE) error generator. Statistical summaries were drawn to investigate the expected hypothesis. As expected, the error in slopes increases with the increasing vertical error in the input DEM. According to similar studies the use of different DEM input data, high quality LIDAR input data decreases the output uncertainty. Errors modelled without spatial autocorrelation do not result in a greater variance in the resulting slope error. In this case, although the slope error results (comparing random uncorrelated and empirical autocorrelated error fields) did not show any statistical significant difference, the input elevation error pattern was not normally distributed and therefore the random error generator realization is not a suitable interpretation of the true state of elevation errors. The normal distribution was rejected because of the high kurtosis and extreme values (outliners). On the other hand, it can show an important insight into the expected elevation and slope errors. Geology does not influence the slope error in the study area.Táto práca zhŕňa metódu a výsledky modelovania chýb a analýzu šírenia chýb vo výpočte sklonov z DMR získaných LIDAR-om v skúmanej lokalite okolia sútoku riek Olše a Stonávka. V terénnych analýzach výstupy uvedenej analýzy sú vždy funkciou vstupu. Na generovania pola výškových chýb boli použité dve rozdielne metódy podľa vstupných dát. Modelované chyby v nadmorských výškach následne vstupovali do analýzy šírenia chýb. Hlavným cieľom práce bolo tak ako aj poukázanie na význam kvality vstupných dát vo výpočte sklonov a odhad šírenej chyby z nadmorských výšok v sklonoch tak aj identifikácia chýb v DMR a ich dopad. Závislosti chýb boli vyhodnotené hlavne pre lepší odhad chyby v sklonoch. V simuláciách boli použité 4 vstupné DMR s rozlíšením 0.5, 1, 5 a 10 metrov s RMSE chybou do 0.317 metra (10 m DMR). Všetky DMR boli získané z mračna bodov získaných LIDAR metódou zberu dát. Šírenie chýb bolo modelované pomocou stochastickej simulácie Monte Carlo s 250 iteráciami. Článok sa zameriava na šírenie chýb z vysoko presných vstupných dát na malom území. RMSE chyba bola získaná v prvom prípade z dát získaných terénnym prieskumom (RTK GPS) a v druhom prípade z porovnania dvoch kvalitatívne rozdielnych DMR. V prvom prípade sa vypočítali chyby vo výškach pomocou náhodného generátora chýb bez autokorelácie chýb. V druhom prípade sa s pomocou semivariogramu namodelovalo autokorelované pole chýb vo výškach. Použitím vhodných štatistík boli odvodené výsledky simulácie a overené stanovené hypotézy. Tak ako sa očakávalo chyby v sklonoch sú vyššie s zvyšujúcou sa chybou v nadmorských výškach. Tiež závislosti chýb od vypočítaných sklonov boli preskúmané, kde sa potvrdila závislosť chýb na sklonoch. Na druhej strane geológia nemala žiaden vplyv na chybu v sklonoch. Chyby namodelované bez autokorelácie nevedú vo väčšine prípadov k štatisticky významnej odchýlke. Vzhľadom však k rozmiestneniu chýb v priestore (vysoká autokorelácia, zamietnutie normálneho rozdelenia pre vysokú špicatosť a extrémne hodnoty) nie je táto metóda vhodná. Napriek tomu dáva dobrú možnosť nahliadnutia do očakávanej chyby v sklonoch a nadmorských výškach

    No full text
    The essential oil of Jasminum grandiflorum has very good biological activity. The present study aimed to analyze the chemical composition and biological activity of J. grandiflorum. The main constituents of J. grandiflorum essential oil were benzyl acetate (37%), benzyl benzoate (34.7%) and linalool (9.6%). The antioxidant activity was 58.47%, which corresponds to 220.93 TEAC. The antimicrobial activity was weak to moderate, with inhibition zones ranging from 2.33 to 5.33 mm. The lowest MIC value was against Candida glabrata. The antimicrobial activity of the vapor phase of the essential oil was significantly stronger than that of the contact application. Biofilm analysis using a MALDI-TOF MS Biotyper showed changes in the protein profile of Pseudomonas fluorescens that confirmed the inhibitory effect of J. grandiflorum. The insecticidal potential of the essential oil against Oxycarenus lavatera and Brassicogethes aeneus was also demonstrated. Due to the properties of J. grandiflorum essential oil, it could find application as a biofilm control agent for the shelf-life extension and storage of fruits and vegetables and as a possible insecticidal agent

    The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the biological activity of Citrus aurantifolia essential oil (CAEO) with emphasis on antioxidant, antimicrobial, and insecticidal activity, chemical composition, and the antimicrobial effect of its vapor phase in situ on various food models. We determined the main volatile components of CAEO as α-phellandrene (48.5%) and p-cymene (16.5%). The antioxidant activity was high and reached 74.5 ± 0.5%, which corresponds to 442 ± 2.3 TEAC. The antimicrobial activity in the contact phase was most pronounced against Gram-negative bacteria, with inhibition zones of 12.66–15.33 mm and a minimal inhibition concentration of 2.36–8.26 µL/mL. The antimicrobial activity of the CAEO vapor phase was high at the highest concentration tested (500 µL/mL), but the inhibitory effect was seen at all concentrations tested. The effect was observed on all types of microorganisms and all types of model foods. Based on the findings, CAEO could find use in storing and extending the shelf life of agricultural products. Insecticidal activity reached 10–90% depending on the concentration used. The significant insecticidal effect provides the possibility of using CAEO as a natural insecticidal, larvicidal, or repellent preparation

    The essential oil from Litsea cubeba (LCEO) has good antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-insect properties, which gives it the potential for use as a natural additive to food resources and food products in order to prevent spoilage and extend shelf life. In this study the biological activity related to food preservation was observed. The main volatile organic compounds were geranial (39.4%), neral (29.5%), and limonene (14.3%). Antioxidant activity was 30.9%, which was equal to 167.94 µg of Trolox per mL of sample. Antimicrobial activity showed the strongest inhibition against Serratia marcescens by disk diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentrations MIC 50 and MIC 90 were the lowest for Micrococcus luteus with values 1.46 and 3.52 µL/mL, respectively. Antimicrobial activity of the LCEO vapor phase showed strong inhibition of microorganisms on apples, pears, potatoes, and kohlrabies. Over 50% of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and yeasts were inhibited by a concentration of 500 µL/mL. The inhibition of microorganisms was concentration dependent. Anti-insect activity was also strong, with 100% lethality of Pyrrhocoris apterus at a concentration of 25%. These results suggest that LCEO could be potentially used as a food preservative

    Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a commonly used herb; it also contains essential oils and other valuable compounds. The basil oil obtained has a pleasant aroma, but also a broad spectrum of biological activity. This work reports on the chemical composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-insect activity in vitro and in situ of Ocimum basilicum essential oil (OBEO) obtained by steam distillation of fresh flowering plants. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, DPPH, agar and disc diffusion and vapor phase methods were used to analyze the OBEO properties. The analysis of the chemical composition of OBEO showed that its main components were methyl chavicol (88.6%), 1,8-cineole (4.2%) and α-trans-bergamotene (1.7%). A strong antioxidant effect was demonstrated at the level of 77.3%. The analysis of antimicrobial properties showed that OBEO exerts variable strength of inhibiting activity against various groups of microorganisms. The growth inhibition zones ranged from 9.67 to 15.33 mm in Gram-positive (G+) and Gram-negative (G−) bacteria and from 5.33 to 7.33 mm in yeast. The lowest measured minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) was 3.21 µL/mL against Gram-negative Azotobacter chrococcum and Gram-positive Micrococcus luteus. The antimicrobial activity of in situ vapor phase of OBEO was also confirmed on apples, pears, potatoes and kohlrabi. The highest insecticidal activity against Pyrrhocorisapterus, observed at the concentration of 100%, caused the death of 80% of individuals. Due to its broad spectrum of activity, OBEO seems an ideal candidate for preserving fruit and vegetables
