The paper presents research results on ECT (Electrostatic Charge Tendency) of cyclohexane and hexane mixtures, that is dielectric liquids of a simple chemical structure and high purity (Pro analysi). The research tests are carried out in a spinning disk system, where the factors affecting the value of the electrification current registered are a varying composition of the mixture and the rotational speed of the disk. In the next stage physicochemical parameters are measured in order to determine the relationship between the properties of the mixtures under study and the electrification current generated. The research results show that the ECT of the mixture depends, to a large extent, on the proper selection of particular components.

Coatings on dental implants are still being developed in order to obtain an ideal balance between their cytocompatibility and antibacterial properties. This paper presents the bacteriostatic and biological properties of oxide-polymer layers with clindamycin on titanium dental implants. A layer was formed on the surface of titanium implants, which was composed of poly(lactic- co -glycolic acid) (PLGA) and clindamycin. The surface morphology was analyzed using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Clindamycin loaded into the polymer was successfully found to inhibit S. aureus and slightly inhibit E. coli bacteria. The average inhibition zone obtained for S. aureus was 14 mm. Only single bacteria were found to be adhered to the implant surface, and changes in their morphology were observed (SEM analysis). The cytocompatibility of the implant extracts was evaluated via the Alamar Blue test and by using cytometry techniques. More than 95 % of L929 cells were found to be living after 24 h of their culture with extracts collected from the implants with hybrid coatings. Additionally, the stability of different concentrations of clindamycin in aqueous solutions at various temperatures was analyzed. It was found that the storage of clindamycin at 4 °C caused the lowest changes in concentration. The concentration of clindamycin influenced both the L929 cells’ viability and bacterial inhibition.

The paper deals with the PI and PID controllers settings. The research includes an overview of the most commonly used control quality criteria. It was assumed that the controlled system can be approximated by first order inertia with dead time. The control systems that includes the model as well as the PI and PID controllers were analyzed in context of control quality taking into account ITAE criterion. The research involved an analysis of the Nyquist diagrams. It enabled us to formulate a new method of tuning of PI and PID controllers. The results obtained with the proposed method were compared to the settings obtained with Ziegler-Nichols method. To illustrate the advantages of the proposed method the system step responses as well as their time and frequency indexes were compared and presented. The proposed method of the PI and PID controller tuning makes it possible to obtain a significant increase of the control quality.

The paper deals with an analysis of features of on-off controllers. It was assumed that the control quality can be described by three distinctive indexes: the period, the amplitude and the mean value of the controlled signal in the steady state. The on-off controller with positive hysteresis was a basic form of the controller that was analyzed. To eliminate the disadvantages of this basic form the controller structure was augmented by inertia corrector. Its impact on mentioned above indicators was shown and described. To compensate the negative influence of inertia corrector on the mean value of the controlled signal, an additional proportional corrector was proposed. Its influence on control quality was shown and discussed. To show how easy it is to build the proposed structure of the controller, its exemplary implementation in the ladder logic language of the S7-1200 PLC was described.

BACKGROUND: Continuous Test-Driven Development (CTDD) is, proposed by the authors, enhancement of the well-established Test-Driven Development (TDD) agile software development and design practice. CTDD combines TDD with continuous testing (CT) that essentially perform background testing. The idea is to eliminate the need to execute tests manually by a TDD-inspired developer. OBJECTIVE: The objective is to compare the efficiency of CTDD vs TDD measured by the red-to-green time (RTG time), i.e., time from the moment when the project is rendered not compiling or any of the tests is failing, up until the moment when the project compiles and all the tests are passing. We consider the RTG time to be a possible measurement of efficiency because the shorter the RTG time, the quicker the developer is advancing to the next phase of the TDD cycle. METHOD: We perform single case and small-n experiments in industrial settings presenting how our idea of Agile Experimentation materialise in practice. We analyse professional developers in a real-world software development project employing ***. We extend the contribution presented in our earlier paper by: 1) performing additional experimental evaluation of CTDD and thus collecting additional empirical evidence, 2) giving an extended, detailed example how to use and analyse both a single case and small-n experimental designs to evaluate a new practice (CTDD) in industrial settings taking into account natural constraints one may observe (e.g., a limited number of developers available for research purposes) and presenting how to reach more reliable conclusions using effect size measures, especially PEM and PAND which are more appropriate when data are not normally distributed or there is a large variation between or within phases. RESULTS: We observed reduced variance and trimmed means of the RTG time in CTDD in comparison to TDD. Various effect size measures (including ES, d-index, PEM, and PAND) indicate small, albeit non-
