Nanoparticles used as potential carriers of biology active substances boosting the seed germination and growth of arugula (Eruca vesicaria L. Cav.) and lamb’s lettuce (Valerianella locusta latter. Em. Betcke) cultivated under artificial environmental cond

Nowadays, we see a lot of tendencies in the world: climate changes, widespread use of synthetic fertilizers which causes a decrease in soil fertility. We need more food, cultivated even in unfavorable conditions. Our solution to increase crop yields is NANOFERTILIZER which is based on nanoparticles and a plant hormone. Nanomaterials can easily cross biological membranes and stimulate many processes …

Development of small regeneratively cooled rocket propulsion systems

The possibility of mixed propellant regenerative cooling for small low cost liquid bi-propellant rocket engines is investigated. Thermochemical analysis have been performed to characterise propellant performance and numerical simulation software has been developed to estimate the thermal performance of a regeneratively cooled N2O ethanol rocket engine. A 100N thrust 3D printed aluminium rocket engine has been designed and tested. Martin …

A Novel Method of Constructing Block Ciphers Resistant to Linear and Differential Cryptanalysis

I have pioneered a groundbreaking method for creating ciphers that adeptly manage the encryption of large data chunks, an issue that was previously quite challenging. In the past, we faced a trade-off between efficiency and security when it came to ciphers with large block sizes. This cutting-edge approach not only offers faster performance, but is also mathematically proven to be …

Let There Be (Optimal) Light

Vertical farming, where crops are grown vertically indoors, uses more than 600% energy per kg of crops produced compared to traditional greenhouses. By reducing the amount of light exposed to the lettuce plant rocket, a reduction of this energy consumption could be achieved. By exposing rocket to 7 hours of light per day an energy saving of 10% per kg …

Caffeine as a medicine for apnea How relevant and useful is it to develop a TDM of caffeine?

Millions of premature babies suffer from breathing stops lasting more than twenty seconds, called apneas. These arise because the babies’ bodies are not developed enough. Sometimes their brain does not notice oxygen shortages and does not send impulses to stimulate breathing again, which could get lethal. The medicine caffeine is given to stimulate their brain, although caffeine does not always …

aquadynamic coating

Do you love saving money and becoming more climate and environmentally friendly in the process? Then this is the project for you! This project revolves around the amazing invention of “ship paint,” specifically top coats, and how they can be made more efficient and cost-effective. This type of paint repels living organisms from the ship’s hull, reducing unnecessary friction. The …

Developing and testing a Lagrangian model of the floating-arm trebuchet

The floating-arm trebuchet is a more energy-efficient modern variant of the medieval trebuchet that had received little treatment in literature. In this project, I improve an already-existing Lagrangian mathematical model of the floating-arm trebuchet and combine it with a numerical analysis of projectile motion with air resistance to predict the relationship between the hook angle and the range of the …

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 …

Study of the R38-K40 ribosome binding site in the Rack1 protein using the Morg1 protein model

Stress granules (SG) are the membraneless organelles which modulate the cells response to stress conditions. The transmission of protein Rack1 into the SG induces cancer cell resistance against some chemotherapeutics. The mechanism of its transfer is difficult to study because mammalian cell lines with mutated or depleted Rack1 are very unstable. Here we suggest using a similar protein Morg1 as …

Codeventure

Codeventure is an educational game designed to enhance algorithmic and programming skills in young school-aged children. While computer technology is pervasive in our world, we often overlook the importance of hands-on manipulation of real objects for children’s development. To address this, we have developed a game that incorporates tangible objects in the form of game cards. The implementation of the …
