TRACERS OF ANTHROPOGENIC AND BIOGENIC SOURCES OF ORGANIC AEROSOL IN THE PM1 FRACTION AT THE KOŠETICE BACKGROUND STATION
Vodička, Petr ; Kawamura, K. ; Deshmukh, D.K. ; Pokorná, Petra ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Ždímal, Vladimír
In this study, we have examined in detail the seasonal changes in the concentration of sugars, dicarboxylic acids and their oxidation precursors in fine aerosol at a rural Central European background site. The aim of the study was to identify typical tracers for different sources of organic aerosol and to determine their contributions to organic PM1.We found a clear difference between winter and summer PM1 aerosol composition at the molecular level. Subsequently, we identified two biogenic factors (dominant in summer), two anthropogenic factors (major contribution in winter) and one background factor.\nMore details could be found in Vodička et. al (2023).

Windell, Laurence Christian ; Pokorná, Petra ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Lhotka, Radek ; Vodička, Petr ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Hopke, P.K. ; Ždímal, Vladimír
This work aims to quantify metal emissions from traffic at an urban traffic site in Prague, Czech Republic, identify key tracers of emissions, and investigate exhaust and non-exhaust emissions observable in fine particulate matter (PM2.5). This project signifies the first high-time resolution elemental analysis of Prague aerosols.

Bukovská, Z. ; Rukavičková, L. ; Chabr, T. ; Morávek, R. ; Levý, O. ; Sosna, K. ; Souček, Kamil ; Vavro, Martin ; Zelinková, T. ; Dobeš, P. ; Švagera, O. ; Kryl, J. ; Soejono, I. ; Řihošek, J. ; Holeček, J. ; Hanák, J. ; Čermák, F. ; Kašpar, R. ; Mareček, L. ; Nedvěd, J. ; Vavro, Leona ; Waclawik, Petr ; Staš, Lubomír ; Myška, O.
This report describes the work carried out in the second year of the public contract Geological and geotechnical characterisation of the rock environment – PVP Bukov II. The\ncharacterisation and descriptive works are directly related to the excavation of the premises for the future underground laboratory. These include in particular: geological and geotechnical documentation of the faces and walls of the workings, petrographic, mineralogical and structural geological documentation, hydrogeological characterisation of the environment, as well as determination of the physical and mechanical properties of the rock mass in situ and in the laboratory, geophysical characterisation and monitoring of the seismic effects of blasting and hydrogeological monitoring. An important part of this report is preparation of the classification system used to describe the rock mass. The report also includes a brief overview of the work planned for the third year of the project.

The Effect of temperature treatment TiO2 nanoparticles on antibacterial properties
Bytesnikova, Z. ; Valeckova, V. ; Švec, P. ; Richtera, L. ; Šmerková, K. ; Vítek, Petr ; Adam, V.
The synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) under various temperature treatments was described and TiO2 NPs was subsequently tested as an antibacterial agent. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, Dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to confirm structure of TiO2 NPs and detect differences between individual batches treated with different temperature. Antibacterial properties were tested on Escherichia coli (E. coli). TiO2 NPs as photocatalyst was incubated with bacterial cells under ambient light. Changes in temperature treatment can affect diameter size and crystal structure of TiO2 NPs as well as its antibacterial properties.

Chateau, city parks and gardens are perceived as harmonious parts of the landscape. Unfortunately, even these areas have to face various threats, and they can be a threat to the surrounding environment. The exhibition /catalogue presents a look at the organisms that threaten parks. These threats cover unwelcomed invaders covering invasive plants and small microorganisms in the soil, on facades, statues or in water. On the other hand, some species that are intentionally brought to the parks can be risky not only the gardens themselves but also their surroundings.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of the potentially biodegradable ternary system Zn-Mg0. 8-Ca0.2
Pinc, Jan ; Čapek, Jaroslav ; Kubásek, J. ; Veřtát, Petr ; Hosová, K.
Zinc and zinc alloys exhibit suitable corrosion properties for biodegradable implants. Insufficient mechanical properties (for some applications) or low biocompatible Zn2+ concentrations can be modified by the alloying by essential elements like magnesium, calcium or strontium. The alloying elements also enhance the biocompatibility of zinc due to a decrease of Zn2+ release which could be toxic in a concentration exceeding 100 µM. In this study, the microstructure and hardness of a potentially biodegradable alloy ZnMg0.8Ca0.2 were observed in relation to different cooling rates. It was found that zinc dendrites, Mg2Zn11 (MgZn2) and CaZn13 phases occur in the material structure. The micro-hardness measurements revealed constant hardness of the particular phases, however, the macro-harness slightly decreased with the decreasing cooling rate due to changes in phase sizes and distribution.

Final Report of the Project „Data Acquisition from the Deep Horizons of the Rožná Mine“ presents the results of the study of rock mass properties with respect to the presence of a significant tectonic zone. The study focused on the change of properties in the vicinity of the so-called first zone of the Rožná deposit, but also on the change of these properties with a depth of 12–24. floor of the former mine, 550-1200 m below the surface. Realized works included geological, petrographic, geochemical description of the rock environment, geophysical work (esp. seismics), study of physico-mechanical properties of rocks, transport experiments and deposit revalidation of the Rožná deposit. All work was carried out for the purpose of describing the studied zone and its manifestation with an emphasis on ensuring the safety of the potential location of the deep geological repository.
