Jak historia odkłada się w pamięci, jak pamięć odkłada się w języku
2019
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"> </p><p>Tematem artykułu jest zakreślenie ram pola badawczego tworzonego przez trzy tytułowe pojęcia: historia, pamięć, język. Ponieważ każde z nich jest wieloznaczne, a na dodatek w różnych sytuacjach odnoszone są do różnych porządków ontologicznych (do rzeczywistości pozajęzykowej i do rzeczywistości tekstowej, narracyjnej), autor stara się doprecyzować znaczenia odnośnych wyrazów i pokazać złożone relacje, jakie występują zarówno między poszczególnymi znaczeniami każdego z wyrazów oddzielnie (a więc pomiędzy „historią1” i „historią2” z jednej strony oraz między „pamięcią1” i „pamięcią2” – z drugiej)…
Experimental limits of the observation of thermally activated phase-slip mechanism in superconducting nanowires
2007
The shape of experimentally observed $R(T)$ transition of thin superconducting wires is analyzed. From theoretical point of view, broadening of the transition in quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channels is typically associated with phase-slip mechanism. It is shown that such interpretation can be misleading if to consider geometrical inhomogeneity and finite dimensions of real samples studied in experiments. The analysis is based on experimental fact that for many superconducting materials the critical temperature depends on the characteristic dimension of a sample: film thickness or wire cross section.
Phase Slip Phenomena in Ultra-Thin Superconducting Wires
2006
We present results on phase-slip phenomena in a superconducting wire which can be considered as quasi-one dimensional (1D) if its characteristic transverse dimension \( \sqrt \sigma\) (√ being the cross section) is smaller than the coherence length Λ(T). The shape of the bottom part of the resistive transition R(T) of a 1D superconducting strip is described by the model of phase slips activation. If the wire is infinitely long, then there is always a finite probability that a small part of the sample is instantly driven normal.
GEPOL: An improved description of molecular surfaces II. Computing the molecular area and volume
1991
The algorithm used by the program GEPOL for a finer description of molecular surface (for a fast calculation of molecular area and volume and for an efficient selection of sampling points) is presented in detail. Different types of surfaces such as van der Waals and Richard's molecular surfaces can be computed. As we described in the first article (J.L. Pascual-Ahuir and E. Silla, J. Comp. Chem., 11, 1047(1990)), GEPOL begins by building a set of spherical surfaces which fill the space which is not solvent accessible. In this second article, a triangular tessellation approach to select the parts of these spherical surfaces which form the molecular surface is described. By using a data coded…
Topological classification of 4-dimensional complete intersections
1996
Let X,,(d) C C P "+r denote a complete intersection, the transversal intersection of r hypersurfaces in C P ~+r defined by r homogeneous polynomials of degrees (d l , . . . ,dr) =: d, with dld2...d,. =: d the total degree. It is well-known that the diffeomorphism type of X,,(d) is determined by n and d. In [7] and [8], Libgober and Wood showed that in dimension n -~ 2, there exist k distinct multidegrees ibr any integer k 6 N such that the corresponding complete intersections are all diffeomorphic. For n = 1,3, the diffeomorphism classification of Xn(d) is well-known by surface theory and the classification of 1-connected six-manifolds [12] respectively. For 7z = 2, at least the topological…
Measuring Multiple Residual-Stress Components using the Contour Method and Multiple Cuts
2009
The conventional contour method determines one component of residual stress over the cross section of a part. The part is cut into two, the contour (topographic shape) of the exposed surface is measured, and Bueckner’s superposition principle is analytically applied to calculate stresses. In this paper, the contour method is extended to the measurement of multiple residual-stress components by making multiple cuts with subsequent applications of superposition. The theory and limitations are described. The theory is experimentally tested on a 316L stainless steel disk with residual stresses induced by plastically indenting the central portion of the disk. The multiple-cut contour method resu…
Subdivisions of Ring Dupin Cyclides Using Bézier Curves with Mass Points
2021
Dupin cyclides are algebraic surfaces introduced for the first time in 1822 by the French mathematician Pierre-Charles Dupin. A Dupin cyclide can be defined as the envelope of a one-parameter family of oriented spheres, in two different ways. R. Martin is the first author who thought to use these surfaces in CAD/CAM and geometric modeling. The Minkowski-Lorentz space is a generalization of the space-time used in Einstein’s theory, equipped of the non-degenerate indefinite quadratic form $$Q_{M} ( \vec{u} ) = x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2} - c^{2} t^{2}$$ where (x, y, z) are the spacial components of the vector $$ \vec{u}$$ and t is the time component of $$ \vec{u}$$ and c is the constant of the spee…
Pharmacological Neuroenhancement, Perceived Stress, and Resilience in Spine Surgeons–A Cross-Sectional Survey
2022
Background Spine surgeons are usually exposed to high workload and demanding work conditions. Although the relationship between pharmacological neuroenhancement (PNE) and resilience (i.e., the ability to recover from stress), as well as perceived stress and resilience-enhancing factors, has been investigated in the general population, less is known about the impact of those factors in spine surgeons. This study aimed to close that gap by investigating the relationship between PNE use and resilience, perceived stress, or resilience-enhancing factors in spine surgeons. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey in a sample of 582 spine surgeons in German-speaking countries (Austria, German…
Italian survey on the residents' surgical level in gynecology and obstetrics
2020
Purpose: The present study aims to investigate the number of surgical procedures performed by Italian residents and their confidence to carry out different surgeries in obstetrics and gynecology. Methods: The present study is a national survey including all Italian gynecology and obstetrics senior residents. A questionnaire including 25 questions was provided. The free Google Forms site was used to create the survey. The study was conducted from April to October 2019. The survey started from the University Hospital of Parma, a tertiary hospital, and was sent to all the Italian post-graduation medical school in gynecology and obstetrics. An e-mail was sent to all representative residents in …
