Land use planning strategies on regional and local level have in the last time gained a special consideration in connection to debates about shaping human activities in such a way that their environmental impacts are as low as possible, as such strategies are actually playing a decisive role in this regard. Taking into account technical aspects in connection with environmental and social ones, special attention has to be paid to the field of land use. A proper land use planning, beside land administration and mana...

Waste and the landfills have been accompanying man for centuries. Although modern technologies limit the impact of landfills on the environment, the landfills where waste materials used to be buried still have an impact on the environment. The studies into the waste itself are performed on small samples, mainly with static leaching tests. These are quick and relatively cheap methods. However, conducting leaching tests on small samples may result in failing to detect some leached substances. Lysimeter studies, due ...

Magnesium deficiency is on the rise due to intensive industrialized farming practices, food processing and evolution of human diets. Human nutrition needs great amount of magnesium, Mg deficiencies being rampant in many developed and developing countries mostly due to dietary reliance on vegetal food with low Mg concentrations. Magnesium is an element that we might describe today as an ancient mineral but essential to life, being a vital factor within our cells, helping to maintain balance, achieve performance und...

We performed a study of the anomalous magnetic field features of the Nether-Polar and Polar sectors of the Urals (48-72В° E and 60-68В° N). We identified and mapped magnetic anomalies due to the Earth's crust layers. The calculated local magnetic anomalies map allows allocating basic-ultrabasic massifs in the upper parts of the basement within the sedimentary basins. After regional magnetic anomalies interpretation and deep seismic sounding data along profiles, located in the study area we build an Earth's crust s...

The Panensk? Creek has been impacted by Pb pollution from local factories in the period of little environmental concern, which has not yet been documented completely in state registry of environmental risks in the Czech Republic. A lead-glass processing factory in Jablonn? v Podje?t?d? was one of the main industrial Pb pollution sources in the Panensk? Creek catchment. It was in operation in 1955-2002. To localize the original and still active pollution source in this area, we used geographical information systems...

The role-oriented concept of programming is becoming more common in recent times. Expanding the traditional object-oriented paradigm, it allows us to apply a more flexible approach to the development of the information system and simplify the task of the developer. The use of role-oriented structures in modern applications raises the question of storing them in a database. The task of extracting homogeneous semantic entities from structured documents has a high potential for solving with the use of roles or their ...

Prediction and monitoring of earthquakes and human-induced seismicity is still a crucial issue primarily due to the random nature of that phenomena. The continuous monitoring of earthquakes made by seismology is well known and developed. The remaining effects of earthquakes ? ground displacements, are much more problematic in measurement. Moreover, estimation of the scale and extend of ground movements caused by that phenomena often requires a combination of several measuring and analytical techniques. Currently, ...
