Evaluation of selected nutritional factors in Aposeris foetida (L.) Less. during the harvesting period

Aposeris foetida (L.) Less. is a plant native to central European forests. In Slovenia it is known as an early spring wild food. Considering the total absence of studies of the leaves of Aposeris regarding its use as food, the present study was made to investigate its nutritional value concerning important vitamins and antioxidants. Foliar contents of ascorbic acid, α-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol, α-carotene, β-carotene, neoxanthin, violaxanthin, antheraxanthin, zeaxanthin, lutein, and chlorophyll in young edible plants during the harvesting period are reported. Comparison of Aposeris with supermarket lettuce analysed in our study and with numerous cultivated and wild edible plants from other studies showed that Aposeris is one of the best sources of ascorbic acid, tocopherol and carotenoids. The results of our study justify its use in the early spring wild food cuisine and may stimulate consumption of this nutritious plant

Development of mobile application for assistance in study organisation for university students

In this thesis we described the motivation for and development of a mobile application for study organising. The result of the thesis is a mobile application prototype for Android and iOS. This prototype allows students and staff access to interactive timetable, messages, study index and general information about the faculty and staff. It also serves as a platform for communication between staff and students. To define key developed functionalities of the prototype we conducted a market analysis in which we analysed similar mobile applications. Based on the information gathered through the market analysis we determined which functionalities are important and which are unnecessary. The application was made with HTML5 technologies (HTML, CSS, javascript). A backend service was made on Amazon AWS platform for communication purposes between the mobile application and server. The backend server was developed on node.js software stack which is also written in javascript

Scaling resistance of concrete surfaces exposed to deicing chemicals

This graduation thesis covers the area of concrete resistance to external influences, especially the effects of freezing and thawing in presence of deicing salts (resistance to salt frost scaling). We investigated the effect of chloride salts on scaling of concrete. In addition\ud to etalon sample of concrete with cement CEM I, we also included mineral additive fly ash as a replacement of part of the cement in concrete. To determine the resistance of each concrete mixture to salt frost scaling by using different types of chloride salts we implemented standard test method according to the SIST 1026 standard. We investigated resistance of different types of aerated concrete in combination with various types of deicing salts in different concentrations. In the context of this thesis we also performed some additional tests. Initial tests on fresh concretes were carried out primarily to ensure approximately the same consistency of all concrete mixtures tested. On the hardened concrete we finally performed an investigation of penetration depth of chlorides and carried\ud out linear microscopy for easier interpretation of the results obtained

Hierarchical Superquadric Decomposition with Implicit Space Separation

We introduce a new method to reconstruct 3D objects using a set of volumetric primitives, i.e., superquadrics. The method hierarchically decomposes a target 3D object into pairs of superquadrics recovering finer and finer details. While such hierarchical methods have been studied before, we introduce a new way of splitting the object space using only properties of the predicted superquadrics. The method is trained and evaluated on the ShapeNet dataset. The results of our experiments suggest that reasonable reconstructions can be obtained with the proposed approach for a diverse set of objects with complex geometry
