Documented spatial data set containing the subdivision of the basins into groundwater systems and subsystems, the selected locations per subsystem and a description of these sites, available data and projected additional measurements and equipment

The establishment of tools for trends analysis in groundwater is essential for the prediction and evaluation of measures taken within context of the Water Framework Directive and the draft Groundwater Directive. This report describes the spatial data sets which will be used for the purpose of detection, aggregation and extrapolation of temporal trends in groundwater quality. Trend analysis methods will be applied and tested at various scales and in various hydrogeological situations. The report contains a description of the studied sub-basins in TREND 2, including information on hydrogeology, land use and pressures, available data and projected additional measurements. Major differences between the sub-basins and the data sets are described to examine consequences for the work on trend detection. One of the challenges for TREND 2 is to define criteria for the application of various statistical and deterministic trend approaches for a range of hydrogeological conditions, spatial scales and types of groundwater monitoring. An overview of these conditions, scales and monitoring types is provided in the present report.FP6 Integrated Project AquaTerra Integrated Modelling of the river-sediment-soil-groundwater system; advanced tools for the management of catchment areas and river basins in the context of global change (Project no. 505428 - GOCE

The difficulties in integrating mathematics with other teaching subjects

In contemporary concepts of school education one suggests a far-reaching integration of teaching contents. The integration is aimed to help school children to gain a comprehensive world picture, stimulate their activeness, develop some creative attitudes of the school children toward mathematics and elaborate various forms of organizing classes. According to the experience with integrating mathematics with other teaching subjects, there are difficulties in realizing the aims mentioned above. In this article some reasons for these difficulties will be discussed at large

Workshops as a significant vocational education component of students specializing in teaching fields

The post modern social processes have somehow destroyed the institutional role of teachers over the past two decades. It is currently necessary to give would-be teachers new, different competencies than the present ones. The tendency to make the teacher education adequate for contemporary needs imposes a number of new tasks on the institutions of teacher education. There is, among other things, a need for organizing innovative classes in terms of both their content and form. The article will contain a practically verified concept of workshops as an important form of improving and completing the education of mathematics teachers

Assessment of body posture and feet load distribution in sport shooters

Sport od zawsze identyfikowany był jako czynnik działający prozdrowotnie na organizm. Jednak uprawianie sportu na poziomie zawodowym od najmłodszych lat, wiąże się także z negatywnymi skutkami, najczęściej dotykającymi aparat ruchu. Celem niniejszej pracy była ocena wpływu wyczynowego strzelectwa sportowego na zmiany powstające w obrębie postawy ciała oraz zaburzenia w rozkładzie obciążeń przenoszonych przez kończyny dolne.Physical activities has wide range of positive effects on health, however in some cases it may cause negative influence regarding musculoskeletal system. The aim of this study was to evaluate body posture and changes in distribution of loading under the foot occurring during sport shooting

Numerical study of gas - liquid flow in an external-loop air-lift column

Celem badań była analiza numeryczna zawartości gazu w cieczy i rozkładu wielkości pęcherzyków w reaktorze air-lift z cyrkulacją zewnętrzną. Symulacje nieustalone w czasie prowadzono, stosując podejście Euler - Euler. Fazą ciągłą były roztwory wodne sacharozy, fazą rozproszoną powietrze o stałym natężeniu przepływu. W obliczeniach uwzględniono zjawisko ko- alescencji i rozpadu pęcherzy gazowych. Wyniki symulacji zaprezentowano w postaci lokalnych rozkładów oraz konturów analizowanych parametrówAim of this study was a numerical analysis of gas holdup and bubble size distributions in an external-loop air-lift reactor. The Eulerian-Eulerian approach was employed to carry out transient simulation. Sucrose solutions were used as the continuous phase, whereas air with constant input flow rate as the dispersed one. Bubble coalescence and breakup phenomena were taken into account in the simulations. Numerical results were worked out in a form of local profiles and contours of parameters

The effect of various cytokinins and other factors on the protonemal celi divisions and the induction of gametophores in Ceratodon purpureus

The cytokinins specifically induce formation of gametophore buds in the protonema of Ceratodon purpureus. The responsein this species is less sensitive than in Funaria hygrometrica, but is independent of light. The cytokinins also stimulate protonemal cell divisions, this response, however, is not specific and affected by many other factors
