(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)Sustainable urban development is one of the most pressing issues in urban planning, and such development requires the promotion of sustainable traffic and the use of non-motorised means of transport. The main problem ... -
Temporal patterns of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) traffic accidents in Lithuania: effects of daytime, season and lunar phase
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)In many countries road safety and animal protection pose a serious problem due to wildlife-related accidents. Profound information of temporal and spatial patterns of deer-vehicle accidents is necessary for safe mitigation ... -
Experimental studies and numerical validation of sound insulation of plastic acoustic metamaterial composed of perforated layers and resonators
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)Noise – messy loud noises of different frequencies, which have various types of pressure, which can be felt as air vibrations or sounds that interfere with human comfort. This kind of noise can be transferred through ... -
Bacteria from wastewater: potential producers of polyhydroxyalkanoates in Vilnius, Lithuania
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)Polymers are currently used as a major raw material in industry, but they are quickly discharged into the environment and cause significant pollution. To tackle this environmental pollution problem, particular attention ... -
Influence of low noise barrier height on sound insertion loss
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)Ensuring the best possible quality of the living environment is the worldwide aim. One of the very important factors strongly affecting people’s health is the traffic produced noise, the reduction of which to permissible ... -
Modelling of sound reduction of sound insulating enclosure with recycled rubber covered walls
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)The excessive noise of machines and devices could be reduced with the use of acoustic enclosures. Additional requirement for enclosures: free air circulation through construction walls, which is important for device ... -
Evaluation of biofiltration materials for H2S removal
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)H2S concentrations in Biogas are limited by environmental regulations. Hence, there are multiple purification methods as biological filtration are developed to meet the standards. In a typical biofiltration process, a bed ... -
