Extraction of information from born-digital PDF documents for reproducible research
PublicationBorn-digital PDF electronic documents might reasonably be expected to preserve useful data units of their source originals that suffice to produce executable papers for reproducible research. Unfortunately, developers of authoring tools may adopt arbitrary PDF generation strategies, producing a plethora of internal data representations. Such common information units as text paragraphs, tables, function graphs and flow diagrams,...

Multi-objective antenna design by means of sequential domain patching
PublicationA simple yet robust methodology for rapid multiobjective design optimization of antenna structures has been presented. The key component of our approach is sequential domain patching of the design space which is a stencil-based search that aims at creating a path that connects the extreme Pareto-optimal designs, obtained by means of single-objective optimization runs. The patching process yields the initial approximation of the...

Receiver of Doppler multistatic system for moving target detection and tracking
PublicationThe article presents a method for solving major structural problems that occur in the receiver used in the multistatic Doppler system, aimed at determination of the trajectory and velocity of a moving target. In the system two transmitters emit acoustic continuous sinusoidal waves at different frequencies. The signals, scattered from a moving target are received by four hydrophones. Beside of the echoes, much larger signals coming...

Estimating the Cost of Cybersecurity Activities with CAsPeA: A Case Study and Comparative Analysis
PublicationContemporary approaches to the estimation of cybersecurity costs in organisations tend to focus on the cost of incidents or technological investments. However, there are other, less transparent costs related to cybersecurity management that need to be properly recognised in order to get a complete picture. These costs are associated with everyday activities and the time spent by employees on cybersecurity-related actions. Such...

Public Perception of Digital Contact Tracing App and Implications for Technology Acceptance and Use Models
PublicationGovernments are increasingly adopting digital contact tracing applications (DCT) as a key component of their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, governments are struggling to achieve widespread adoption of DCT necessary for obtaining the expected individual and public benefits associated with its use. Consequently, studies on DCT have focused on the barriers to DCT adoption in different contexts and possible ways of overcoming...

Multi-Aspect Quality Assessment Of Mobile Image Classifiers For Companion Applications In The Publishing Sector
PublicationThe paper presents the problem of quality assessment of image classifiers used in mobile phones for complimentary companion applications. The advantages of using this kind of applications have been described and a Narrator on Demand (NoD) functionality has been described as one of the examples, where the application plays an audio file related to a book page that is physically in front of the phone's camera. For such a NoD application,...

Polarimetric studies of L-arginine-doped potassium dihydrogen phosphate single crystals
PublicationConoscopic interference patterns, channelled spectra and polarimetric techniques have been used for the characterization of pure and doped (with L-arginine amino acid) potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) single crystals. Experimental polarimetric data have been obtained for the frequently used wavelength of 633 nm and for two close wavelengths of 532 and 543 nm in a high-accuracy dual-wavelength polarimeter. The measurement of...

Toward Safe and Efficient Recovery of Gas Munitions Dumped at Sea
PublicationThe proposal of a system for the safe recovery of unexploded ordnance (UXO), chemical weapons (CW) and chemicalwarfare agents (CWA) dumped at sea mainly after WWI and WWII is described in this work. The proposed solutionaddresses the tasks required to neutralise thousands of tons of dumped material and the currently available solutionsand proposed ideas. Requirements concerning the features of a recovery system are defined and...

The evolution of education spaces - from plan as generator to regenerative architecture, virtual rooms and green campuses
PublicationThe study programmes are often considered the main formative factors in the process of educating future architects. Another highly influential component is the architectural characteristics of learning spaces, and consequently the impact of the physical built environment on the quality of education has been widely discussed. However, not often do we realise that the characteristics of education spaces correlate with the organisational...

The Revitalization Processes of the Port Structures in Gdynia and Gdansk on the Background of Contemporary Port Changes
PublicationTransformations of the port facilities against the modernization of the port structures are present in many city-port centers since more than 50 years. The modernization taking place in the ports located in Gdynia-Gdansk mainly concerns communication availability and adapted to the multimodal technology of transport and transshipment. Developing specialized tech-terminals serving a specific type of load, causes development of the...

Chemical and biological stability of polyene macrolides
PublicationThe polyene macrolide antibiotics have been used in an-tifungal therapy since first o f them were discovered in 1950's. Up to now, four polyene macrolides are being used in medical practice, namely amphotericin B, nystatin, candi-cidin and pimaricin.The antifungal activity and mode of ac-tion of polyene macrolides is determined by their structure, chemical and physical properties.The main fragment of polyene...

The role of isolated farmsteads in the open landscape protection on the example of Kashubia
PublicationAs a result of the social and economic transformation of rural areas, open landscapes are disappearing. Former farmsteads are being devastated or beginning to lose their landscape context due to the spread of residential building development. At the same time, in many places, the farmstead form is clearly legible and remains an element with which the view is structured and enriched. The article was aimed at drawing attention to...

Detekcja i lokalizacja nieprzewodzenia tranzystorów falownika napięcia na podstawie analizy prądu obciążenia
PublicationPrzedstawiono nową metodę detekcji i lokalizacji nieprzewodzenia tranzystorów w falownikach napięcia zasilających silniki indukcyjne małej mocy. Metoda bazuje na monitorowaniu wartości dwóch sygnałów dia-gnostycznych. Pierwszy z nich, wskaźnik braku przepływu prądu, wykorzystano w celu detekcji uszkodzeń. Drugi, stosunek wartości średniej prądu do wartości średniej bezwzględnej, zawiera informacje umożliwiające lokalizację uszkodzonych...
