Zróżnicowanie uzębienia u nornika zwyczajnego Microtus arvalis Pallas, 1778 z okolic Częstochowy (Wyżyna Śląska)
2021
An analysis of the diversity in the dentition of the common vole, Microtus arvalis, from three localities near Częstochowa (Panki, Przystajń and Mstów) is provided. Populations from these areas were compared to each other in these terms. The teeth were analyzed – the first lower molar (M1) and the upper third molar of the maxilla (M3). Four basic forms of Simplex, Typica, Duplicata and Variabilis were used to study the diversity of the upper tooth. We developed our own model for studying the differentiation of the lower tooth. The present research and a comparison with literature data confirm that the subspecies M. a. duplicatus does occur in the study area.
Vaya valla! The phenomenon of "yeísmo" in oral Spanish in Valencia
2016
En los últimos años, el fenómeno del yeísmo ha sido abordado desde diferentes perspectivas; una de ellas es la sociolingüística, a la que nuestro trabajo pretende contribuir. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar cómo evoluciona el proceso fonético de deslateralización del fonema /ʎ/ a favor de /ʝ/ en el castellano de la comunidad de habla bilingüe de Valencia y su área metropolitana. Tradicionalmente se ha señalado que Valencia mantenía la diferenciación entre la lateral y fricativa palatales, pero estudios recientes dan cuenta de la introducción y expansión del yeísmo en determinadas comarcas bilingües de la Comunidad Valenciana. En el análisis sociolingüístico realizado actúan grupos…
A Stieltjes Approach to Static Hedges
2014
Static hedging of complicated payoff structures by standard instruments becomes increasingly popular in finance. The classical approach is developed for quite regular functions, while for less regular cases, generalized functions and approximation arguments are used. In this note, we discuss the regularity conditions in the classical decomposition formula due to P. Carr and D. Madan (in Jarrow ed, Volatility, pp. 417–427, Risk Publ., London, 1998) if the integrals in this formula are interpreted as Lebesgue integrals with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Furthermore, we show that if we replace these integrals by Lebesgue–Stieltjes integrals, the family of representable functions can be exte…
Determining the number of sources in high-density EEG recordings of event-related potentials by model order selection
2011
To high-density electroencephalography (EEG) recordings, determining the number of sources to separate the signal and the noise subspace is very important. A mostly used criterion is that percentage of variance of raw data explained by the selected principal components composing the signal space should be over 90%. Recently, a model order selection method named as GAP has been proposed. We investigated the two methods by performing independent component analysis (ICA) on the estimated signal subspace, assuming the number of selected principal components composing the signal subspace is equal to the number of sources of brain activities. Through examining wavelet-filtered EEG recordings (128…
Wariantywność stylu tekstu w perspektywie edukacyjnej
2018
The article presents the results of an educational diagnosis. The study it describes analyses the style of invitations prepared by the Polish middle school pupils and its significant variation despite the fact that the subjects did identical tasks in identical conditions. The author is interested in the pupils’ awareness of style, which is why the study analyses only the texts whose writers have made a deliberate and conscious choice of stylistic models. The diversity of style has turned out to be the most pronounced on the level of register, and the main reason behind the style variation among the texts was rooted in the clash between opposing stylistic systems (formality vs. informality) …
The variation of the law applicable to the family property regime in EU regulations n. 2016/1103 and 1104
2021
The essay examines the discipline of EU regulations n. 2016/1103 and 1104 concerning the identification of the law applicable to the family property regime. Specifically, the work reflects on problems arising after a change, during the relationship, of the substantial law applicable to the couple?s property regime.
On elliptic equations involving the 1-Laplacian operator
2018
El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral es dar a conocer los resultados obtenidos sobre existencia, unicidad y regularidad de las soluciones de diferentes ecuaciones elípticas regidas por el operador 1-laplaciano. El primer capítulo está dedicado al estudio de la ecuación - div (Du/|Du|) + g(u) |Du| = f(x) en un subconjunto abierto y acotado U de R^N con frontera Lipschitz, con la condición de Dirichlet u=0 en la frontera, tomando una función f positiva y siendo g una función real, continua y positiva. Por un lado, obtenemos soluciones no acotadas cuando el dato f pertenece al espacio de Marcinkiewicz L^{N,\infty}(U), por lo que debemos introducir la definición apropiada para este tipo de soluci…
A Band Model of Cambium Development: Opportunities and Prospects
2021
More than 60% of tree phytomass is concentrated in stem wood, which is the result of periodic activity of the cambium. Nevertheless, there are few attempts to quantitatively describe cambium dynamics. In this study, we develop a state-of-the-art band model of cambium development, based on the kinetic heterogeneity of the cambial zone and the connectivity of the cell structure. The model describes seasonal cambium development based on an exponential function under climate forcing which can be effectively used to estimate the seasonal cell production for individual trees. It was shown that the model is able to simulate different cell production for fast-, middle- and slow-growing trees under …
Situational factors shape moral judgements in the trolley dilemma in Eastern, Southern and Western countries in a culturally diverse sample
2022
The study of moral judgements often centres on moral dilemmas in which options consistent with deontological perspectives (that is, emphasizing rules, individual rights and duties) are in conflict with options consistent with utilitarian judgements (that is, following the greater good based on consequences). Greene et al. (2009) showed that psychological and situational factors (for example, the intent of the agent or the presence of physical contact between the agent and the victim) can play an important role in moral dilemma judgements (for example, the trolley problem). Our knowledge is limited concerning both the universality of these effects outside the United States and the impact of …
Regulation of type 1 fimbriae synthesis and biofilm formation by the transcriptional regulator LrhA of Escherichia coli
2005
Type 1 fimbriae ofEscherichia colifacilitate attachment to the host mucosa and promote biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces. The transcriptional regulator LrhA, which is known as a repressor of flagellar, motility and chemotaxis genes, regulates biofilm formation and expression of type 1 fimbriae. Whole-genome expression profiling revealed that inactivation oflrhAresults in an increased expression of structural components of type 1 fimbriae.In vitro, LrhA bound to the promoter regions of the twofimrecombinases (FimB and FimE) that catalyse the inversion of thefimApromoter, and to the invertible element itself.
