Od druhé poloviny dvacátého století jsme svědky tvořivého prolínání fyziky a biologie. Tato symbióza je patrná v různých oborech fyziky. Občas i molekulová fyzika zaměřená na detailní porozumění jednoduchým strukturám dokáže vědy o životě inspirovat. V našem příspěvku se podíváme, jak lze nahlédnout do evolučních procesů pomocí molekulových paprsků, laserových experimentů a kvantové chemie., We discuss the role of UV radiation and molecular photostability in the evolution of life. The molecular building blocks of life (nucleic acid bases, aminoacids) are typically stable with respect to UV radiation, yet many questions remain unanswered. In particular, the role of intermolecular interactions is poorly understood. We demonstrate how a combination of photodissociation experiments in molecular clusters with advanced ab initio calculations helps in understanding biological photochemistry., Michal Fárník, Petr Slavíček., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Sunlight is the source of energy for most of the processes on the Earth‘s surface and it represents also the ulitmate renewable energy source for human civilisation. The invention of photovoltaic solar cells and their development to the present highly sophisticated forms represent a story worth telling. The history of photovoltaics contains surprising and dramatic moments as well as steady progress, on a par with the rise of microelectronics. Further, there may still be some surprising new paths, similar to the recent development of hybrid perovskite solar cells., Antonín Fejfar, Martin Ledinský., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Four new Dactylogyrus species (Dactylogyrus pallicirrus sp. n. from Cyprinion macrostomum and Cyprinion watsoni, D. rohdeianus sp. n. and D. capoetae sp. n. from Capotta damascina, and D. schizocypris sp. n. from Schizocypris hrucei) are described from endemic Iranian freshwater fishes. Comments on the monogenean fauna of Iranian freshwater fishes are presented.
Four species of adult digeneans arc reported from freshwater fishes of two lakes in Neuquén, Patagonia, Argentina. Allocreadium patagonicum sp. n. (Allocreadiidae) is described from the intestine of Percichthys colhuapiensis MacDonagh and Percichthys trucha (Cuvier et Valenciennes) (Percichthyidae) from Lago Aluminé. Three species rcdescribed are: Acanthostomoides apophalliformis Szidat, 1956 (Acanthostomidac) from the intestine of P. colhuapiensis and P. trucha from Lago Aluminé and of Salmo trutta (Linnaeus) (Salmonidae) from Lapo Muechulafquén; Deropegus patagonicus (Szidat, 1956) comb. n. (= Genarches patagonicus Szidat, 1956) (Derogenidae) from the stomach of P. colhuapiensis, P. trucha, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum) (Salmonidae) and Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill) (Salmonidae) from Lago Aluminé and of S. trutta from Lago l luechulafquén; and Austrocreadium papilliferum Szidat, 1956 from the intestine of P. trucha from Lago Aluminé. The genus Polylekithum Arnold, 1934 is considered a synonym of the genus Allocreadium Looss, 1900. The genus Austrocreadium Szidat, 1956 is removed to the family Homalomelridae.
Selected mechanical properties of unidirectional composites with polysiloxane-derived matrix and continuous basalt fibres reinforcement are presented. A special attention is devoted to the impact of long term exposition in hot air (aimed as a simulation of the anticipated operating conditions) to the composite failure under flexural load. The investigated composites worsened their properties after treatment in air at elevated temperature (650 - 750 °C). The originally non-catastrophic flexural failure changed to a brittle fracture, which was accompanied with a flexural strength decrease. The coalescence of fibres and their strong interaction with the matrix are probably the main reasons for the onset of brittleness. Unless these drawbacks are resolved the service temperature of the composites in air will probably not exceed approximately 500 °C., Petr Glogar, Martin Černý and Zdeněk Tolde., and Obsahuje bibliografii
