Quantum structure in competing lizard communities
PublicationAlmost two decades of research on applications of the mathematical formalism of quantum theory as a modeling tool in domains different from the micro-world has given rise to many successful applications in situations related to human behavior and thought, more specifically in cognitive processes of decision-making and the ways concepts are combined into sentences. In this article, we extend this approach to animal behavior, showing...

Wirtualna rekonstrukcja Jaszczurki Gierłowskiej = Virtual reconstruction of Gierłowska’s Lizard
PublicationGdańsk znany jest z posiadania wielu osobliwości. Jedną z nich jest niewielka, choć licząca aż 44 miliony lat jaszczurka (podrząd Sauria, rodzina Lacertidae) zatopiona w trzyipółcentymetrowej bryłce bursztynu bałtyckiego – sukcynitu. Określa się ją mianem Jaszczurki Gierłowskiej, jako że w czerwcu 1997 r. znalazła ją na gdańskich Stogach bursztynniczka Gabriela Gierłowska. Obecnie bursztyn z jaszczurką oglądać można w Muzeum Bursztynu...

Electric shock hazard in circuits with variable-speed drives
PublicationThe conventional approach to electrical safety under fault condition in typical power systems considers earth fault currents of sinusoidal waveform and frequency of 50/60 Hz. However, in circuits with variable-speed drives, there is earth fault current flow with harmonics, and these harmonics influence the threshold of ventricular fibrillation. The paper presents earth fault current waveforms in circuits with variable-speed drives...

Why are trees still such a major hazard to drivers in Poland?
PublicationRoadside trees are one of Poland's most serious road safety issues. Since 2009 more than 2800 people have been killed as a result of tree collisions; this represents about 15% of all of Poland's accident fatalities between 2009 and 2013. In some of the country's regions striking a tree caused more than 30% of all road accident fatalities. With no proper regulations, guidelines or examples of good practice, roadside environments...

The OptD-multi method in LiDAR processing
PublicationNew and constantly developing technology for acquiring spatial data, such as LiDAR (light detection and ranging), is a source for large volume of data. However, such amount of data is not always needed for developing the most popular LiDAR products: digital terrain model (DTM) or digital surface model. Therefore, in many cases, the number of contained points are reduced in the pre-processing stage. The degree of reduction is determined...

Sulfurization of phosphanylphosphinidene ligand: Access to phosphinothioyltrithiophosphonato platinum(II) complexes
PublicationThe reactivity of phosphanylphosphinidene Pt(0) complexes [DppePt(η2-P–PtBu2)] (1) and [(pTol3P)2Pt(η2-P–PtBu2)] (2) toward sulfur was studied. Reactions of 1 and 2 with an excess of sulfur led to the formation of the first transition metal complexes 3 and 4 with phosphinothioyltrithiophosphonato ligands with the formula [tBu2P(=S)–P(=S)S2]2-. In contrast to previous reports on the phosphanylphosphinidene moiety sulfurization,...
