Rethinking the sGLOH Descriptor
2018
sGLOH (shifting GLOH) is a histogram-based keypoint descriptor that can be associated to multiple quantized rotations of the keypoint patch without any recomputation. This property can be exploited to define the best distance between two descriptor vectors, thus avoiding computing the dominant orientation. In addition, sGLOH can reject incongruous correspondences by adding a global constraint on the rotations either as an a priori knowledge or based on the data. This paper thoroughly reconsiders sGLOH and improves it in terms of robustness, speed and descriptor dimension. The revised sGLOH embeds more quantized rotations, thus yielding more correct matches. A novel fast matching scheme is a…

Otherness and self in latvian theatre: Changes at the turn of the nineteenth century
2015
In the article, political and historical interpretations of the first play in Latvian, an adapted translation of Ludvig Holberg’s Jeppe of the Hill (1723, Latvian version 1790) are explored. Although the play has been often interpreted as a work of anti-alcohol propaganda, the article argues that the political motives of the play are no less important. Translated into Latvian during the time of the French revolution, the play mirrors the tense atmosphere of the revolutionary years and reflects changes in Latvian peasant identity. While translating, Baltic German pastor Alexander Johann Stender changed the play’s setting to the late eighteenth century Courland and added new details, emphasiz…
Experimental observation of Electronic Metal support interaction: investigation of Au/Ceria catalysts by HERFD–XANES
2015
In this paper we report the result of a recent experiment of high resolution XANES (HERFD-XANES) which evidenced this modification suggesting that gold clusters with very similar size can have a modified electronic structure (the empty d-Density-of-states) when they are deposited on ceria and titania oxide
Dynamic Role of Gold d-Orbitals during CO Oxidation under Aerobic Conditions
2022
High-energy-resolution fluorescence detection-X-ray absorption near-edge structure (HERFD-XANES) at the Au L3 edge was used to study gold catalysts supported on ceria in order to unravel the role of gold 5d orbital modifications during the activation of molecular oxygen. The variations in the HERFD-XANES resonance peak, which are directly correlated with the d-band occupancy, were monitored in situ during the redox process of the CO oxidation at room temperature under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Interestingly, upon the oxidation treatment and also during the aerobic CO oxidation treatment, the gold d-band fluctuates around an average value, proving that the gold clusters are part…
The Polish Nation: From a Multiethnic to an Ethnically Homogenous Nation-State
2009
In Chapter 4 I focused on the stateless noble natio of partitioned Poland-Lithuania that sought to transform itself into a Polish nation. The Polish-Lithuanian noble leaders paid lip service to the French model of the nation-state but, apart from a few lonely dissenting voices, had no intention to broaden the confines of the planned Polish nation to embrace the ‘third estate,’ that is, the peasantry and burghers. The social barrier of serfdom alone kept the nobles from associating with peasants. In the cities, a large and sometimes predominant, segment of the population was made up of German-speakers and Yiddish-speaking Jews. Their idioms disqualified them from participation in the emergin…

2017
Właśnie w czasach oszczędności finansowych oraz postępującego procesu ekonomizacji kultury jest ważnym fakt, aby filolodzy angażowali się również kulturowo i politycznie dla swoich autorów, nad którymi sprawują opiekę naukową, oraz w zakresie tematyki dzieł. Artykuł opisuje przygotowywaną wystawę w Domu Literatury im. Johann-Heinrich-Voß'a w Penzlin, w miejscowości, w której Voß otrzymał pierwsze impulsy rozwoju. Voß wyjaśnia propozycje szkolno-pedagogiczne, w pewnym sensie skromne warsztaty literackie, które zostaną zrealizowane w ramach wystawy stałej zatytułowanej "Johann Heinrich Voß. Grek z Mecklenburii".
