This project proposes a comprehensive approach to detect gravitational waves and monitor seismic events and environmental changes. It leverages Lagrange points, a MASER interferometer, and microwave technology for enhanced accuracy and reduced errors. The proposed model can predict seismic events and monitor environmental changes by analyzing wave signal interference patterns. LIDAR technology is incorporated to identify air composition in various …
Effects of Compounds in Life on Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
Chemical stress on compounds was pointed out as one of the causes of bacterial antibiotic-resistance and observed in S. aureus whether various substances in daily life affect changes in the antibiotic-resistance. It has been confirmed that pesticides and heavy metal ions such as Cr ion affect antibiotic resistance. In addition, even though each of the two substances that does not …
Remediation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and heavy metals via sustainable removal techniques
The escalating pollution by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and heavy metals highlights the urgency of finding sustainable remediation methods. Our research therefore aimed to investigate sorption and phytoremediation techniques. Our results indicate the necessity of a complex geochemical survey in contaminated areas. In the most affected sites, we suggest the use of activated charcoal, optimal for both PCBs (98.14%), and heavy …
The Stimulation of Germination of Bean Seeds Using Plasma Activated Water
The primary goal of this research is to examine the expression of a few genes related to bean growth under two distinct experimental conditions: distilled water and PAW irrigation. The amount of chlorophyll, carotenoids, also the expression of some genes involved in the germination process, the rate, speed of germination and the phenotypic analysis of the samples were determined . …
Revitalization of the Libechov castle area – architectural studies of new buildings
As cities age and population density increases there is a need for sustainable use of historic town centres for 21st century needs. Demolish historic architecture? Or rather complement it with modern architecture that respects its surroundings and the ever-increasing demands for sustainability? Our project shows that this is possible and proves it by applying it to a specific example. We …
Natural seagrass residues transformed into a phosphorous absorbing ally by becoming a fertilizer
This project aims to investigate the potential use of thermally treated seagrass P. Oceanica to recover phosphate from wastewater and the production of a fertilizer substitute. Posidonia Oceanica residues were thermally treated at 550o C for 15 minutes and were tested as an adsorbent of phosphate for water collected from Finikaria dam. Results shows that thermally treated seagrass could be …
Investigating the effect of sulphur dioxide on fruticose lichens in Luxembourg
My research focused on searching whether sulphur dioxide from factory and road emissions affect fruticose lichens species in Luxembourg. By doing a belt transect with 100 meter intervals for 1 kilometer as well as measuring abiotic factors and height and diameter, I then did a statistical test to confirmy my hypothesis that pollution has an effect on fruticose lichen species. …
Reduction of Perchlorate Ion Concentrations in Martian Soil using Azospira oryzae
The colonization of Mars is being considered more and more as the human population continues to grow. For people to start living on Mars it is necessary to grow food as independent of planet Earth as possible, local resources, including soil, must be used. However, perchlorates are widely distributed in Martian soil and high concentrations of them are harmful to …
Research of the quality of water and sediments in the Silistra region of the Danube
The Danube River, spanning 19 countries, faces pollution risks from various sources. Its importance extends beyond fishing, serving as recreation and sustenance. Despite the seriousness of pollution, community awareness is lacking. Monitoring efforts near Silistra focus on water quality, ignoring sediment evaluation. Analysis revealed high cadmium levels. Lack of Bulgarian sediment standards led to reliance on American and European data. …
