Isolation of Bacteriocin-producing Staphylococcus spp. Strains from Human Skin Wounds, Soft Tissue Infections and Bovine Mastitis
PublicationA collection of 206 Staphylococcus spp. isolates was investigated for their ability to produce compounds exhibiting antistaphylococcal activity. This group included Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus xylosus strains recovered from bovine mastitis (n = 158) and human skin wounds and soft tissues infections (n = 48). Production of substances with antimicrobial activity was observed in six strains. Five...

Concentration levels of selected analytes in the gas phase of an e-cigarette aerosol
PublicationThe aerosols generated from e-cigarettes are composed of liquid and gas phases resulting from vapourized e-liquid. The apportioning of substances from e-liquid into the liquid and gas phases during e-cigarette use has not been extensively studied. Partitioning of e-liquid components between the gas and the liquid phase of the aerosol influences the substances inhaled and exhaled by the users, leading to second-hand exposure. It...

Total Completion Time Minimization for Scheduling with Incompatibility Cliques
PublicationThis paper considers parallel machine scheduling with incompatibilities between jobs. The jobs form a graph equivalent to a collection of disjoint cliques. No two jobs in a clique are allowed to be assigned to the same machine. Scheduling with incompatibilities between jobs represents a well-established line of research in scheduling theory and the case of disjoint cliques has received increasing attention in recent...

Sea surface temperature in the Baltic Sea derived from Landsat 8 satellite data - path 194
Open Research DataThe data set contains high resolution sea surface temperature (SST) maps estimated from Landsat 8 Level 1 Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) data using NLSST algorithm. SST was calculated only for granules (185 x 180 km) from satellite path number 194, that covered at least 2000 km2 of the cloud-free area of the Baltic Sea.

Społeczne koszty niealimentacji. The Social Costs of Default on Child Maintenance Payment.
Publication"Niniejszy artykuł opisuje historię kryminalizacji przestępstwa niealimentacji w polskich kodeksach karnych. We wszystkich polskich kodeksach karnych: kodeksie karnym z 1932 r., kodeksie karnym z 1969 r. oraz w kodeksie karnym z 1997 r. ujęto przestępstwo niealimentacji. Aktualna maksymalna sankcja z tytułu przestępstwa niealimentacji jest niższa niż w kodeksie karnym z 1932 r. Sankcje karne zawsze powinny być ostatecznością...

Dew Formation and Chemistry Near a Motorway in Poland
PublicationIn this study, the influence of traffic intensity on dewformation efficiency and chemistry is presented. The measurementswere conducted near the A4 motorway in SW Poland in almost flatland relief with intense agricultural activity. The dew/hoarfrost wascollected by means of insulated plain passive radiative condensersat three sites: AN and AS located in the close vicinity of themotorway (30 m) on the opposite sides of the road,...

Glucosinolates from lepidium peruvianum as potential antiamnestic drugs
PublicationLepidium peruvianum (maca) (Brassicaceae) is a naturally occurring plant mainly in the high Andes of Peru. In recent years, it has been intensively researched in terms of its influence on various diseases and towards health improvement. Alzheimer’s disease is an incurable disease that most often affects adults over the age of 60. As since 2003 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did not approve any new drug for Alzheimer’s...

Computer-Aided Diagnosis of COVID-19 from Chest X-ray Images Using Hybrid-Features and Random Forest Classifier
PublicationIn recent years, a lot of attention has been paid to using radiology imaging to automatically find COVID-19. (1) Background: There are now a number of computer-aided diagnostic schemes that help radiologists and doctors perform diagnostic COVID-19 tests quickly, accurately, and consistently. (2) Methods: Using chest X-ray images, this study proposed a cutting-edge scheme for the automatic recognition of COVID-19 and pneumonia....

Vehicle detector training with minimal supervision
PublicationRecently many efficient object detectors based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) have been developed and they achieved impressive performance on many computer vision tasks. However, in order to achieve practical results, CNNs require really large annotated datasets for training. While many such databases are available, many of them can only be used for research purposes. Also some problems exist where such datasets are not...

Wernsdorf - a biography of an 18th century scholar - transcription, photographs and partial translation
Open Research DataThe data set contains the transcription of a large passage of the Latin biography of the eighteenth-century philologist and theologian Gottlieb Wernsdorf (1717-1774), as well as photos of the entire print. A translation from Latin into English and Polish was added to the data set as well (that is, excerpts on the education of both Gottlieb himself,...

Architectural Symbols of a City – Case Study
PublicationThe identity of a city is understood as a collection of individual features, which give the city its individual character and distinguish it from other places; it undoubtedly constitutes a cultural value, which should be cherished. In the case of Sopot – a spa located on the Bay of Gdansk, the mosaic of its geographical location, landscape values, urban layout and historic architecture has created a unique image of a seaside resort....

Mikrofiltrowany koncentrat soku brzozowego jako innowacyjny, trwały środek spożywczy o wysokiej wartości odżywczej
PublicationIntroduction. The forest environment becomes an increasingly popular place of obtaining raw materials, and one of the most promising product is birch sap. The market for bottled birch sap in Poland is monotonous, relying exclusively on pasteurized, acidified and sweetened drinks. A chance to change this situation is to develop a birch sap concentrate obtained by reverse osmosis. It has a sweet taste desired by consumers and particularly...
