The aim of this study is to analyse the impact of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect on temperature dynamics across various locations within the city of -ilina during the year 2024. The results reveal significant differences in temperature gradients between urban and rural areas, with urban zones such as Nemocnicna Street and the Vlcince housing estate exhibiting up to 16.6 % slower cooling rates on summer evenings compared to the rural locality of -ilinska Lehota. This phenomenon is attributed to the increased he...

In our study, we used the measurement of water potential using a pressure chamber, and we compared the collected data with the data from the Nove Zamky meteorological station for the period 21.6.2023 - 22.8.2023. The aim of the work was to compare the data collected using water potential measurements from two locations in the Nove Zamky area with the corresponding meteorological data collected from the meteorological station also located in Nove Zamky. After data collection, we then determined whether the technolo...

Climate change is not the future, it is a hard, tangible and uncompromising present. Globally, the risk of crop reduction is increasing. Production shocks that used to occur once every 100 years or so in the past may occur every 30 years or more in the future. The development of fruit growing, as part of agricultural activities in the countryside, must record the impacts caused by climate change and apply the species structure of fruit trees in the regions of Slovakia, which will fully respect the biological requi...

Climate change is a very serious threat, and its consequences affect many different aspects of our lives. In Slovakia, we will also have to get used to the faster onset of warm and dry weather in the spring. The year, from a temperature point of view, ended as the 2nd warmest since 1931. Statistically very significant (annual) deviations occurred in the entire territory of Slovakia, so we characterize it in terms of temperature as strongly to extremely above normal. We monitored the influence of climatic condition...

Pervasive environmental stressors, particularly water deficits, have a major impact on plant production, diverting necessary energy away from growth and development to mitigate stress effects. This study addresses the impact of several water regimes (irrigated and non-irrigated) on royal walnut individuals (Juglans regia L.) in an orchard in western Slovakia. Our analysis focused on sap flow measurements using the stem heat balancing method from July 13 to September 21, 2021. In the midday hours, the sap flow rate...

Rock typing is an essential tool for reservoir characterization and management in the petroleum industry. It is the process of grouping portions of a rock sample based on their physical and chemical properties. This process is currently done by experts in the industry, which consumes valuable industry resources. Precise and efficient rock typing can build accurate geological models, optimize exploration and production strategies, and reduce exploration and production risks. This work proposes a deep learning metho...

The oil and gas production complex plays a leading role in the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the development of which is associated with the exploration, development and exploitation of not only new, but also mature oil and gas fields. In recent years, the country's large and well-known oil and gas fields have entered the last stage of development, which is accompanied by water cut, deterioration of collector properties and reduction of production rates. One such field is Uzen. Under these conditions it i...

Several organizations warn of the increase in temperature and the associated extreme climatic conditions for life on Earth. The aim of this article is to point out the influence of climatic conditions on the development of walnut (Juglans regia L.) in the spring months (11.5. - 18.6.) in the years 2018 - 2019, which were above-normal to temperature-normal (compared to the climatic normal 1991 - 2020) and in the years 2021 - 2022, which were below normal temperatures. The impact of the amount of precipitation was a...

The aim of this study is to determine the prospects of the region for the identification of new objects. For this purpose, it was necessary to solve the tasks of analyzing and summarizing all available geological data on the Torgai trough and based on this, to make forecast maps and determine the prospects for identifying deposits. Analysis of extensive factual data and outcomes of the sedimentary cover minerals was followed by interpretation of sections at the basic outcrops and wells. All this work resulted in c...

The threat of climate change and its negative consequences is currently a very serious and immediate problem. Undoubtedly, the most striking manifestation of climate change is global warming, both on land and in the oceans. Increasing the average air temperature adversely affects natural ecosystems, which find it very difficult to adapt to this change. Significant consequence of climate change is also the fundamental impact on water resources. In this work we focused on the influence of climatic conditions on the ...
