- Description:
- An Adhesive bonded surface mechanical treatment is one of necessary steps in an adhesive bonding technology application. A grit blasting ranges among prospective adhesive bonded surface treatment technologies. A resulted surface structure depends on many factors. A grit blasting material grain size together with specific fraction size belongs to basic parameters. this paper deals with an influence of the grain on surface roughness parameters as well as on a charge of a adhesive bond strength. and Mechanická úprava lepeného povrchu je jedním z nezbytných kroků při aplikaci technologie lepení. Mezi perspektivní technologie úpravy lepeného povrchu patří tryskání. Výsledná textura povrchu je závislá na mnoha parametrech. Mezi základní parametry patří zrnitost tryskaného materiálu a s tím související měrný rozměr zrna. Článek pojednává o vlivu rozměru zrna na parametry drsnosti povrchu a rovněž i jejich vliv na změnu pevnosti lepeného spoje.

2324. Aspiration syndromes and associated lung injury: incidence, pathophysiology and management
- Creator:

- Format:

- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- aspiration syndromes, aspiration pneumonitis, aspiration pneumonia, acute lung injury, and pathophysiology
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- Aspiration is a common condition affecting healthy or sick patients which could create an acute or chronic inflammatory reaction in the lungs. Aspiration syndromes could be categorized according to a content entering the respiratory system into bacterial aspiration pneumonia with the gastric or oropharyngeal bacteria entering, aspiration chemical pneumonitis with bacteriafreegastric acid aspiration, or aspiration of a foreign body which causes an acute pulmonary emergency. There are differences in the clinical presentation of volume-dependent aspirations (microaspiration and macroaspiration): the higher is the volume of aspiration, the greater is the injury to the patient and more serious are the health consequences (with 70 % mortality rate for hospitalized patients). Aspiration syndromes can affect both the airways and pulmonary parenchyma, leading to acute lung injury, increased hospitalization rate and worse outcomes in critically ill patients. Impaired alveolar-capillary permeability, oedema formation, neutrophilic inflammatory response and pulmonary surfactant inactivation lead to reduced lung compliance and loss of aerated lung tissue and give rise to hypoxemia and respiratory failure. This review discusses the effect of aspiration events on the pulmonary tissue. The main focus is to distinguish the differences between bacterial and chemical pneumonia, their clinical presentation and symptoms, risk factors of developing the changes, possibilities of diagnostics and management as well as prevention of aspirations. Because of a risk of serious lung damage after the aspiration, pathophysiology and processes leading to lung tissue injury are discussed in detail.

2325. Assessement of possible diel and sex-related differences in round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) diet
- Creator:
- Všetičková, Lucie, Janáč, Michal, Roche, Kevin, and Jurajda, Pavel
- Type:
- article, model:article, and TEXT
- Subject:
- invasive species, diel feeding, inter-sex differences, nest-guarding, and breeding season
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- Several aspects of invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) biology are based on sporadic observations or anecdotal reports only, e.g. they are night feeders, they prey on eggs and larvae of native fish and male feeding ceases or is highly restricted during breeding due to nest-guarding. To test the general validity of such hypotheses, we assessed diel and inter-sex differences in diet and feeding intensity of 232 gobies (144 female [54 day:90 night] and 88 male [39 day:49 night]) caught during the breeding season. Gobies took primarily aquatic insect larvae and did not predate on eggs, larvae or juveniles of native fish. Unlike previous studies, we observed no diel difference in feeding intensity or diet composition; hence no universal diel pattern can be implied for round goby feeding. On the other hand, we observed significant inter-sex differences in both feeding intensity and diet composition, with males consuming less food than females, presumably due to restricted feeding activity during nest-guarding. Inter-sex shifts in both diet composition and amount of food were less than expected, however, suggesting that, under most conditions, there is no reason to expect a fatal decrease in male energy intake, as suggested by some earlier studies.

2326. Assessing flow regime alterations in a temporary river - the River Celone case study
- Creator:

- Format:

- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- natural hydrological regime, temporary stream, hydrological modelling, and indicators of hydrological alteration
- Language:
- Slovak
- Description:
- In this paper, we present an approach to evaluate the hydrological alterations of a temporary river. In these rivers, it is expected that anthropogenic pressures largely modify low-flow components of the flow regime with consequences for aquatic habitat and diversity in invertebrate species. First, by using a simple hydrological index (IARI) river segments of the Celone stream (southern Italy) whose hydrological regime is significantly influenced by anthropogenic activities have been identified. Hydrological alteration has been further classified through the analysis of two metrics: the degree (Mf) and the predictability of dry flow conditions (Sd6). Measured streamflow data were used to calculate the metrics in present conditions (impacted). Given the lack of data from pristine conditions, simulated streamflow time series were used to calculate the metrics in reference conditions. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was used to estimate daily natural streamflow. Hydrological alterations associated with water abstractions, point discharges and the presence of a reservoir were assessed by comparing the metrics (Mf, Sd6) before and after the impacts. The results show that the hydrological regime of the river segment located in the upper part of the basin is slightly altered, while the regime of the river segment downstream of the reservoir is heavily altered. This approach is intended for use with ecological metrics in defining the water quality status and in planning streamflow management activities.

2328. Assessing shade stress in leaves of turf-type tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.)
- Creator:
- He, Q. and Li, D.
- Format:
- počítač and online zdroj
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- lawn, low light, photosynthesis, senescence, and vegetation index
- Language:
- Multiple languages
- Description:
- Shade treatment was applied to tall fescue with 30% full light. The results showed that shade increased chlorophyll (Chl) content per unit leaf mass, decreased the Chl a/b ratio in the mature leaves, and decreased effective quantum yield based on Chl fluorescence compared to the full light treatment. Shade stress did not cause increased contents of malondiadehyde at the early stages of leaf development. However, normalized vegetation indices were able to detect shade stress. Chloroplasts in the shaded leaves are arranged tightly against the periclinal cell wall and are in a spindle shape. There were no differences in the number of grana per chloroplast or grana size (thylakoids per granum) between shade and full light treatment. In conclusion, tall fescue leaves showed unique ultrastructure changes. Turfgrass managers could use vegetation indices developed from the leaf light reflection spectrum as an effective tool to assess shade stress levels and make management decisions.

2329. Assessing temporal variation and autocorrelation in fish habitat use
- Creator:
- Vilizzi, Lorenzo, Copp, Gordon H., and Roussel, Jean-Marc
- Type:
- article and TEXT
- Subject:
- PHABSIM, fish behaviour, individual-based models (IBMs), PCA, semi-variogram, log-linear analysis, and pseudoreplication
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- We assessed the xtent of temporal variation and autocorrelation in fish habitat use based on an experimental study of individual 0+ juvenile barbel, Barbus barbus, in an artificial flume. Five treated and five control fish were individually subjected to an increase in discharege (intervention) hlfway through each experiment and kept at baseline discharge throughout, respectively. Preference surves for velocity were generated for each of 60 trials per experiment and for each combination of treated/control (fish) x before/after-intervention. There were large between- and within-individual differences in velocity preference, both in treated and in control fish. Most barbel explored the entire range of velocities, whereas some individuals used a more limited range. Temporal variation in behavioural responses was assessed by a PCA-based methodology. Autocorrelation (i.e. correlation between sequential trials) was diagnosed in most response profiles, supporting recent fidings that individuals may have a "memory" of their past velocity usage. The relevance of the results for numerical habitat models of fish habitat assessment is discussed, as well as the importance of incorporating temporal variability into fish habitat use models (e.g. PHABSIM), not only as ontogenetic intervals but also as longitudinal data of individual behaviours. A warning is also re-issued about the erroneous belief of "pseudoreplication" simly arising from repeated measurements in time.

- Subject:
- regulated river flow, floodplain ecosystem, environment conservation, regulovaný prietok riek, ekosystémy záplavových území, and ochrana životného prostredia
- Language:
- Slovak
- Description:
- The complex environmental research (hydrology, vegetation, soils and ground water) has been carried out in nature reserves, located on the Danube banks within the zone of broad-leaved forests in Germany. Under comparison were terrestrial ecosystems along the regulated and natural rivers. It was established that the weirs, dams with low head of water and small artificial reservoirs affects upon the vegetation and soils of floodplains to be manifested some decades later. A comprehensive analysis of trends in mean annual water level, water flow and the precipitation for the long period revealed the significant influence of natural long-term variability of the water content on the vegetation dynamics in floodplains. The methods, suggested by the authors made possible to assess the after-effects upon floodplain ecosystems due to changes in the river flow regime caused by different hydrotechnical constructions. and V prírodných rezerváciách v blízkosti Dunaja (v Nemecku) v oblasti pokrytej listnatými lesmi bol vykonaný komplexný environmentálny výskum (hydrológia, vegetácia, pôdy a podzemné vody). Porovnávali sa ekosystémy pozdĺž regulovaných a prirodzených tokov. Zistilo sa, že hate a priehrady s relatívne malým vzdutím, ako aj malé vodné nádrže ovplyvňovali vegetáciu a pôdy v záplavových územiach tak, že sa to prejavilo už o niekoľko desaťročí neskôr. Vyčerpávajúca analýza trendov priemernej ročnej výšky hladín, prietokov a zrážok počas dlhého obdobia pomohla objasniť významný vplyv prirodzenej dlhodobej variability obsahu vody na dynamiku vegetácie v zátopových územiach. Metóda navrhnutá autormi umožňuje určiť následné vplyvy zmien vodného režimu tokov spôsobených hydrotechnickými stavbami na ekosystém v záplavovom území.
