In this doctoral thesis influence of different temperatures (5 °C - 60 °C) on the hydration of belite-ye’elimite-ferrite cement was studied. Fluctuations in temperature can cause changes in the phase assemblage, kinetics of hydration and mechanical properties. Besides temperature, other factors such as the cement clinker phase composition, calcium sulfate …

Plants are constantly exposed to various environmental stressors. Pathogen infections causing disease can affect economically important crops and impact global food production. To counter disease development and spread, it is imperative that we acquire a thorough knowledge of its pathogenesis, as well as of the mechanisms underlying plant immune response. …

We are speeding full throttle towards a climate catastrophe and we have only until 2030 to take action to avoid the most devastating and unimaginable consequences. The lack of political and corporate will to change the status quo of “business as usual” is causing mass protests and civil disobedience globally. …

A 3-year systematic investigation (2007–2010) of water chemistry using conventional and stable isotope tracers helped us delineate hydro-biogeochemical processes in the karstic Krka River watershed. By mineralogical and stable isotopic examination of tufa deposits and combining the results with water chemistry, we were able to evaluate the suitability of tufa …

Measurement of ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) and extremely high vacuum (XHV) is important in many advanced research and technology fields such as: equipment for surface analysis, particle accelerators, simulation of interstellar space, processing of advanced semiconductors, electron tubes, FE displays, etc. For traceable calibrations of UHV and XHV gauges we need …
