  • The ability of microspores or young pollen grains (male gametophytes) to undergo developmetal switch to embryogenic (sporophytic) pathway exemplifies the concept of totipotency as applied to haploid posmeiotic cells. As a first step pollen is devoid of positional information provided in situ by the intact anther - by isolation and cultivation in vitro in artificial media. This is inevitably accompanied by some degree of stress response in microspore/pollen. It has been shown in both monocots and dicots that intentional stress treatment (mostly starvation or heat shock) greatly stimulates embryo induction rate. Using transgenic sHSP antisense Nicotiana tabacum we show that expression of small heat shock proteins is an integral part of successful embryo and later haploid plant production from pollen grains. Our recently published data show that sHSP chaperone function is optimal in the absence of ATP.

  • The calculation of short-circuit currents is important for power systems operation and restoration, and for determining the means to protect human lives and properties. In this paper, a part of a power system network, around the D$\breve{e}$tmarovice power station in Czech Republic, was simulated by the well known program EMTP-ATPDraw (Electromagnetic Transients Program-Alternative Transient Program), and short-circuit currents and voltages were calculated at different points in the electric network and presented as a time function by the PlotXY program. Calculations were done just for phase-to-ground, and for the three-phase short-circuit at the Kun$\check{c}$ice substation. The results were important for determining the characteristics of the equipment required to withstand or break the short-circuit current; for this reason, the calculations were repeated using earth-fault resistances only for the case of busbar KUN shown in Figs. 5 and 6.

  • In the article, an analysis of solutions to six problems of geometrical character at the begining of school attendance is shown. Problems were assigned to students individually and were evaluated from different points of view. The previous research was focused mainly on their arithmetical competence. But geometry also belongs in primary education. Therefore we prepared an analogous investigation which was focused on geometrical competence. The experiment confirms that our children have, at the beginning of school attendance, a good level of visual appreciation of their surrounding world. Our schools do not systematically develop further this skill.

  • Railway wheel is the important element of rolling-stock in the viewpoint of running safety. Thus, the material properties of strength, fatigue crack, durability are needed, and the standards for test and criteria of whee] are established to guarantee quality of wheel. In the meantime, the suppliers for wheel in domestic are varied from domestic monopolization to diverse company of China, Russia, Czech Republic, etc. The uniform quality of wheel is important from a maintenance point of view. We collected wheel samples of diverse vendors to analyze the uniformity of wheel on the basis of korea national standard. We tested material properties and analyzed the test data statistically.

  • The thermal performance degradation of heat pipes is caused by the non-condensable gas generation mainly due to the electrochemical corrosion which results from the reaction of working fluids with tube materials. In this study, a simplified method described below was proposed to estimate the life of heat pipes concerning the non-condensable gas generation. The temperature distributions at the outer surface of heat pipes was measured, and based on them the amount of non-condensable gas of hydrogen was estimated. Applying it to the Arrhenius model, the mass generation of hydrogen and the volume occupied by the gas In heat pipes could be estimated for an operating temperature and time. Moreover, this simplified method was applied to the accelerated life test of nine methanol-stainless steel heat pipe samples.

  • Luminescence and scintillation properties of $PbWO_{4},\;XAIO_{3}$ (X = Y, Lu, Y-Lu) and $LiBaF_{3}$ based scintillators are reported. The effect of present and often not understood defect states is demonstrated in different scintillator parameters and related measurements are discussed. Importance of understanding of defect states participating in the processes of energy transfer and storage in the scintillating materials is emphasised.

  • This short communication reports on the experiment which demonstrates that superhard nanostructured films with hardness of about 40 GPa and greater can be composed not only of two or more nanocrystalline and/or amorphous phases of different materials, as it is in the case of nanocomposite coatings, but also that can be formed by a mixture of small (<10 nm) nanocrystalline grains of the same material with different crystallographic orientation and/or lattice structures. This finding opens new possibilities to develop advanced nanostructured materials with enhanced physical and functional properties.

  • In contrast to the $\pi$ -conjugated polymers which typically absorb light only in the visible spectral region, the $\sigma$-conjugated polymers can be used as efficient material absorbing light in the UV region. In this work, the electronic and optical properties of I$_2$-doped $\sigma$ -conjugated poly (methyl-phenylsilylene) (PMPSi) polymer were investigated. DC conductivity up to 1.2$\times$10$^{-4}$ S/cm was obtained by I$_2$-doping. In UV/Vis absorbance spectrum, a new peak was observed near 370 nm, which was explained by polaron model. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity decreased with increasing degree of I$_2$-doping, and the Infrared (IR) spectrum analysis revealed that the dopants are not directly coupled to the polymer, but effect motions of the methyl and phenyl groups.

  • The purpose of this study is to derive the type by examining and analyzing the integrated cases of the Cadastral System (hereafter as CS.) and the Land Registration System (hereafter as LRS.) except for France, the Netherlands, Japan, and Taiwan introduced in Korea. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the CS. and LRS. were integrated in Turkey, Indonesia, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Lithuania, and the following three types were drawn as a result of analyzing the integration case. First, the French type, the CS. and LRS. has been integrated since the establishment of the system, and the central and state governments are managed by one Administrative Agency, The basic municipalities include France and Turkey, which are managed by two separate agencies. Second, the Dutch type, there are Netherlands, Indonesia, and Lithuania, which are integrated and managed by one Administrative Agency since the creation of the CS. and LRS. Third, the Japanese type, there are Japan, Taiwan, Hungary, and Czech Republic which was separated from the creation of the CS. and the LRS. and the CS. was managed by the Administrative Agency and the LRS. was managed by the Judicial Agency. but after integrated both systems were managed by one Administrative Agency, Furthermore, CS. was managed by the Administrative Agency in all countries but LRS. was managed by the Judicial Agency in some countries. but after integrated both systems were managed by one Administrative Agency. I hope that active research on the integration of the CS. and LRS. will be carried out in the future, and hope that the results of this study will be used as basic data for research on how to integrate the CS. and LRS. in Korea.

  • This study investigates a new organic based material and its dielectric and mechanical properties. It is a comprehensive nanocomposite comprising a combination of various types of nanofillers with hydrophobic silica nanoparticles (AEROSIL R 974) as a matrix modifier and a polyamide nano nonwoven textile, Ultramid-Polyamide 6, pulped in the electrostatic field as a dielectric barrier. The polymer matrix is an epoxy network based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and cycloaliphatic diamine (Laromine C260). The designed nanocomposite material is an alternative to the conventional three-component composites containing fiberglass and mica with properties that exceed current electroinsulating systems (volume resistivity on the order of $10^{16}{\Omega}{\cdot}m$, dissipation factor tan ${\delta}=4.7{\cdot}10^{-3}$, dielectric strength 39 kV/mm).
