AN EXAMINATION OF LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS FOR NEWLY-GRADUATED STUDENTS BY QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

Nowadays the rising unemployment rate for newly-graduated students poses a considerable problem. Although obtaining a degree and certificate are not enough on the labour market, it is a fact that college graduates' unemployment rates over all are still lower than the national average. These days the successful graduate job applicant has to (fluently) speak foreign language(s). In order to ensure that candidates can fulfil this requirement, universities and colleges have to modify the language teaching strategy according to the needs of the labour market

Application of some lactic acid bacteria strains to improve fermentation and aerobic stability of maize silage

The object of the trial was to study the effect of some lactic acid bacteria strains on the fermentation and aerobic stability of whole plant maize silages.The whole plant maize raw material was 32% DM, in soft cheddar stage of grain ripeness. It was ensiled in 4.2 litre capacity glass micro-size silos in 5 replicates /each treatment and stored on constant air conditioned room temperature (22 oC) during 95 days. The average packing density of raw material was 211 kg DM/m3.The applied treatments: 1. Untreated control maize, 2. Enterococcus faecium 100,000 CFU/g fresh maize (FM), 3. Lactobacillus plantarum 50,000 CFU/g FM + Enterococcus faecium 50,000 CFU/g FM, 4. Lactococcus lactis 100,000 CFU/g FM, 5. Lactobacillus plantarum 50,000 CFU/g FM + Lactococcus lactis 50,000 CFU/g FM, 6. Lactobacillus plantarum 100,000 CFU/g FM.Aerobic stability study:  Applied Honig (1990 system).The main experiences are the following: Applied lactic acid bacteria strains improved the quality of fermentation of maize in general compare to untreated control one.Lactic acid bacteria strains significantly stimulated lactic acid production and decreased propionic and butyric acid production. The origin of ammonia decreased also under influence of lactic acid bacteria strains in unaerobic conditions.Enterococcus faecium and.Lactococcus lactis are not able to protect the maize silages against the aerobic deterioration with the applied dosage.  Lactobacillus plantarum itself produced the most favourable fermentation characteristics and protected the aerobic stability of silage the most effectively (during 4 day) compare to all other treated maize silages

Deformability Tests of Pure Niobium

research team at the University of Miskolc's Faculty of Materials Science and Technology has signed a cooperation agreement with the Geneva-based European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) for testing of the materials employed in the Crab Cavities will be installed in the next generation of the LHC (the so-called High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider – HL-LHC). At the University of Miskolc, high purity niobium rolling experiments were carried out in conventional (unidirectional) and cross-rolled manners in order to increase the deep drawability of the final sheet. The deformability of niobium was measured by Watts- Ford and compression tests. The microstructure and anisotropy (texture) results of the initial material and the straight-rolled products are reported

Prediction of Earing of Hot-Rolled Al Sheets from Pole Figures

The formation of uneven cup heights during deep drawing is called earing. This phenomenon is caused by the planar anisotropy of formability in sheets, which is the result of crystallographic texture. In addition to analytical and finite element methods, a simple and quick method was developed recently to predict the earing profile of Al sheets solely from the data of {200} pole figures. So far, the method was applied on final state sheets cold rolled to 0.3–3 mm thickness and subsequently annealed. Within this manuscript, the earing prediction method is applied on 3003 type Al sheets with the thickness of ~6 mm, being in the hot-rolled state. Texture examinations were performed at different depths, from which earing profiles were calculated. For comparison, earing profiles were calculated from Lankford values that were determined by tensile tests. It is shown that in the case of hot-rolled Al sheets, if the grain structure is uniform across the thickness of the sheet, the earing profile can be appropriately calculated from the full {200} pole figure obtained from surface X-ray Diffraction (XRD) texture measurements

Ellipsometry monitoring of sensor processes based on gold nanoparticle bonded proteins

The aim of our work is to develop a heavy metal detection sensor that can be used in the field to easily and accurately test water samples at the range of the strict concentration levels set by international standards. The sensor is based on a gold thin-film electrode on a silicon substrate and a genetically modified bacterial flagellin protein deposited onto the gold thin-film electrode. To ensure that the surface is adequately covered, and the protein is attached to the electrode, additional gold nanoparticles were deposited to the surface. Changes on the sensor surface were investigated by in-situ ellipsometry and cyclic voltammetry. The determination of the exact surface morphology, as well as the validation of the ellipsometric measurements were done by using scanning electron microscope
