Technical Limitations in Merging Secular and Sacred Functions in Monumental Churches
PublicationThe abandonment of churches and their adaptation for secular purposes is a current subject in Europe and worldwide. Most cases involve objects that were desacralized and then rebuilt as a whole object for alternative functions. Thus far, the merging of secular and sacred functions in one monumental Catholic church has not raised any issues. The paper describes the case of St. Catherine’s Church in Gdansk, Poland, where sacred function...

The use of spectrometric diagnostics in identification of the technical condition of tribological systems
PublicationThe paper presents, as an effect of the analysis of investigation results, a possibility of using the spectrometric diagnostics in the tribological system technical condition supervision arrangement. A model, based on the emission of solid particles in tribological system operation, allows to identify the system technical condition. After the analysis of tests carried out with the use of that model, it has been found that the content...
