Sequential extraction protocol was performed to assess mobility and bioavailability of 238U, 234U, 230Th and 226Ra in soils from the uranium waste pile at Žirovski vrh and its surrounding. In non-contaminated locations, about 80 % of all radionuclides were in the residual fraction. Considering activity concentrations, 238U and 234U are the most mobile. Mobility of 226Ra is suppressed by high sulphate concentrations and is similar to mobility of 230Th.

Seven transformation products of carbamazepine (antiepileptic, analgesic, sedative drug) generated by at least one of three common water treatment technologies: UV-radiation, oxidation with chlorine dioxide and biological treatment with activated sludge, were identified by complementary use of three mass analysers. This study also compared the treatment technologies according to the removal of carbamazepine, and the production and decay of its transformation products, and proposed a coupled treatment that could satisfactorily remove both, the parent compound and transformation products.

Designing a fire safety measures can be achieved either by prescriptive conservative or performance based design. Simulation of fire and its consequences constitutes modern fire safety engineering with respect to a wide range of fire safety objectives including safety of life, neighboring property, infrastructure and the environment. Each simulation needs to be based on a realistic fire scenario what is real technical problem. It is found that fire scenario inputs can be statistical weighted. Important is to perform performance-based fire design using a realistic simple zone or CFD models.

The main strategic goals of EU and Slovenia are reduction of the emissions of greenhouse gases, increasing the share and electricity production from renewable energy sources (RES) and decreasing the energy dependency. Bio-energy sources in Slovenia play an important role in achieving the goals of the energy strategy of Slovenia and fulfilling its obligations from EU Directives and international documents. A clear picture (of potential and energy policy) about the utilization of bio-energy sources in Slovenia is a basis for new action plans for their utilization.

Target of the EU is a 20% increase in energy efficiency by 2020. The goal of Slovenian energy strategy is to improve the energy efficiency in all sectors of activities. A review and analysis of energy efficiency policy and measures in Slovenia are described in the work. An indicator of energy efficiency trends, called “ODEX”, has been developed and used to measure the improvement of energy efficiency on sector and country level. The work analyses trends of energy efficiency within the period of 1997-2007 by sectors of all economic activity and country level.
