31. Treatment of condensation in sandwich panels without known vapour resistance of sealantGregor Vidmar, 2020, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: In order to calculate amount of interstitial condensation in a building envelope, water vapour resistance of each layer is of importance. Once having it, 1D calculation according to ISO 13788 with monthly average vapour pressures can be applied. In EN 14509 sandwich panels are considered to be impermeable for water vapour, thus (according to the standard) water vapour cannot enter from outside and condensate in the panels. But it is not always true for real sandwich panels, because joints between neighbouring panels can cause non-neglecting water vapour bridges. Although in measurements of linear water vapour transmittance of the joints (Ψv) stationary boundary vapour pressures can be applied, the measurements can be long lasting. We shortened time needed to get Ψv performing simulations in Delphin6.0. We simulated panels and steel sheets with joints using constant boundary vapour pressures and compared the results with the results of measurements on the equivalent systems.
In systems under consideration a sealant in built-in-state, located at a joint of a sandwich panel, is a compressed EPDM tube. It is impossible to directly measure its effective μ according to ISO 12572. In the paper we study to which precision it is possible to determine it using measurements and simulations. Once having effective μ of the sealant (if all other necessary material parameters available) one can simulate condensation in envelopes including sandwich panels in 2D according to EN 15026 using hourly climatic data. Another goal of the study was determination of differences in resulting Ψv values when varying narrowest part of the gap dGAP at the joint in the panels without any sealant. Results confirm significant sensibility of Ψv to variations of dGAP.

32. Reviewing the modeling aspects and practices of shallow geothermal energy systemsPaul Christodoulides, Ana Vieira, Stanislav Lenart, João Maranha, Gregor Vidmar, Rumen Popov, Aleksandar Georgiev, Lazaros Aresti, Georgios Florides, 2020, review article Abstract: Shallow geothermal energy systems (SGES) may take different forms and have recently taken considerable attention due to energy geo-structures (EGS) resulting from the integration of heat exchange elements in geotechnical structures. Still, there is a lack of systematic design guidelines of SGES. Hence, in order to contribute towards that direction, the current study aims at reviewing the available SGES modeling options along with their various aspects and practices. This is done by first presenting the main analytical and numerical models and methods related to the thermal behavior of SGES. Then, the most important supplementary factors affecting such modeling are discussed. These include: (i) the boundary conditions, in the form of temperature variation or heat flow, that majorly affect the predicted thermal behavior of SGES; (ii) the spatial dimensions that may be crucial when relaxing the infinite length assumption for short heat exchangers such as energy piles (EP); (iii) the determination of SGES parameters that may need employing specific techniques to overcome practical difficulties; (iv) a short-term vs. long-term analysis depending on the thermal storage characteristics of GHE of different sizes; (v) the influence of groundwater that can have a moderating effect on fluid temperatures in both heating and cooling modes. Subsequently, thermo-mechanical interactions modeling issues are addressed that may be crucial in EGS that exhibit a dual functioning of heat exchangers and structural elements. Finally, a quite lengthy overview of the main software tools related to thermal and thermo-hydro-mechanical analysis of SGES that may be useful for practical applications is given. A unified software package incorporating all related features of all SGES may be a future aim.

34. Kompoziti iz skorje: nova gozdarsko-lesarska vrednostna verigaSergej Medved, Grega Vilman, Urban Tajher, Mark Sever, Alan Antonović, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: Skorja je večopravilni (večfunkcijski) material, saj deluje kot zaščita (pred fizikalnimi in mehanskimi poškodbami, pa tudi pred biološko razgradnjo), omogoča transport vode in plinov, občasno pomaga pri fotosintezi in nudi podporo drevesu. Skorje je od 10 % do 20 % celotne mase drevesa, vendar je znaten delež ostane neizkoriščen. Da bi prikazali možnosti rabe skorje za izdelavo različnih kompozitov, smo izdelali in analizirali tri različne kompozite, in sicer lesno-plastični kompozit iz skorje in polietilena, trislojni ploščni kompozit iz skorje, zlepljene z melamin-urea-formaldehidnim lepilom, in enoslojni ploščni kompozit iz vlažnih iveri skorje, zlepljenih s taninskimi lepili.

35. General position polynomialsVesna Iršič, Sandi Klavžar, Gregor Rus, James Tuite, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: A subset of vertices of a graph $G$ is a general position set if no triple of vertices from the set lie on a common shortest path in $G$. In this paper we introduce the general position polynomial as $\sum_{i \geq 0} a_i x^i$, where $a_i$ is the number of distinct general position sets of $G$ with cardinality $i$. The polynomial is considered for several well-known classes of graphs and graph operations. It is shown that the polynomial is not unimodal in general, not even on trees. On the other hand, several classes of graphs, including Kneser graphs $K(n,2)$, with unimodal general position polynomials are presented.
Keywords: general position set, general position number, general position polynomial, unimodality, trees, Cartesian product of graphs, Kneser graphs

37. Assessment of differential expression of oncogenes in adenocarcinoma of stomach with fluorescent labeling and simultaneous amplification of gene transcriptsUroš Rajčević, Petra Hudler, Gordan Mijovski, Gregor Gorjanc, Georg Hölzl, Stanislav Repše, Robert Juvan, Milena Kovač, Christian G. Huber, Radovan Komel, 2007, original scientific article Abstract: Background. Gastric cancer is one of the leading malignancies with a poor prognosis and low survival rates. Although the mechanisms underlying its development are still unknown, there is a consensus that genetic instability, inactivation of tumor suppressor genes and over-expression of oncogenes are involved in the early and late stages of gastric carcinogenesis. In the present study we wanted to display differential expression of seven oncogenes,namely CCNE1, EGF, ERBB3, FGF4, HRG1, HGFR and TDGF1. Patients and methods. We employed a method based on the multiplex reverse transcription polymerase chain (RT-PCR) method with a fluorescence detection. Results. More than half of patients (74.3%) out of total 74 with gastric adenocarcinoma had over-expressed at least one oncogene, with the exception of FGF4, which was expressed in tumor tissue of less than one third of patients. 56.8% of the patients patients showed over-expression of two or more oncogenes. Conclusions. Patients with precancerous lesions had elevated levels of TDGF1 or cripto-1 (64.9%) and CCNE1 (57.1%), suggesting that they could be used as markers for an early detection of malignant changes in stomach. Finally, the fluorescent multiplex RT-PCR method could be of value for rapid assessment of oncogene mRNA levels in small samples of tumor or precancerous biopsies.

39. Quasi-copulas as linear combinations of copulasGregor Dolinar, Bojan Kuzma, Nik Stopar, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: We prove that every quasi-copula can be written as a uniformly converging infinite sum of multiples of copulas. Furthermore, we characterize those quasi-copulas which can be written as a finite sum of multiples of copulas, i.e., that are a linear combination of two copulas. This generalizes a recent result of Fernández-Sánchez, Quesada-Molina, and Úbeda-Flores who considered linear combinations of discrete copulas.

40. Electrochemotherapy of tumoursGregor Serša, Maja Čemažar, Damijan Miklavčič, Zvonimir Rudolf, 2006, review article Abstract: Electroehemotherapy consists of chemotherapy followed by local application of electrie pulses to the tumour to increase drug delivery into cells. Drug uptake can be inereased by electroporation for only those drugs whose transport through the plasma membrane is impeded. Among many drugs that have been tested so far, only bleomycin and cisplatin found their way from preclinical testing to clinical trials. In vitro studies demonstrated several fold inerease of their cytotoxicity after electroporation of cells. In vivo, electroporation of tumours after local or systemic administration of either ofthe drugs, i.e. electrochemotherapy, proved to be an effective antitumour treatment. In preclinical studies on several tumour models, electrochemotherapy either with bleomycin or cisplatin was elaborated and parameters for effective local tumour control were determined. In veterinary medicine, electrochemotherapy also proved to be effective in the treatment of primary tumours in cats, dogs and horses. In human clinical studies, electrochemotherapy was performed on the patients with progressive disease andaccessible tumour nodules of different malignancies. All clinical studies demonstrated that electrochemotherapy is an effective treatment for local tumour control in cancer patients.
