The Palais–Smale condition for the Hamiltonian action on a mixed regularity space of loops in cotangent bundles and applications
PublicationWe show that the Hamiltonian action satisfies the Palais-Smale condition over a “mixed regular- ity” space of loops in cotangent bundles, namely the space of loops with regularity H^s, s ∈ (1/2, 1), in the baseand H^{1−s} in the fiber direction. As an application, we give a simplified proof of a theorem of Hofer-Viterbo on the existence of closed characteristic leaves for certain contact type hypersufaces in cotangent bundles.

The mechanism of grouting action under the base of bored pile
PublicationThe grouting under the base of bored pile is carried out in order to reduce pile settlement and improve its bearing capacity. The principal aim of grouting is to introduce an initial force between the soil and the pile base. In non-cohesive soil, the grouting can also enlarge the pile base area and therefore improve the base resistance. The example of static load tests on instrumented bored piles installed with and without grouting...

Action Research - przygotowanie sądu do zmiany poprzez uczenie się - współpraca praktyków i badaczy
PublicationW praktyce zarządzanie sądem na ogół jest oddalone od teorii zarządzania. Prezesi sądów rzadko zwracają się do naukowców z prośbą o rozwiązanie ich problemów w zarządzaniu. W sądach brakuje nie tylko stałych form współpracy z naukowcami zajmującymi się zarządzaniem, ale także z innymi interesariuszami. Jedyną formą komunikacji, i to z ograniczoną liczbą interesariuszy, są formalne środki wyznaczone przez procedurę cywilną lub karną....
