Places of worship, spiritual healing and urban regeneration
PublicationMany researchers demonstrated that it is possible to help people achieve mental and physical regeneration with proper architecture, urban and landscape planning. The term therapeutic landscapes could also be applied to places of worship, where people gather for spiritual healing and renewal. Public space that they offer is inclusively open to all. Addition- ally, they serve to reinvigorate the places where they are located. Shrines...

Investigation of Air Quality beside a Municipal Landfill: The Fate of Malodour Compounds as a Model VOC
PublicationThis paper presents the results of an investigation on ambient air odour quality in the vicinity of a municipal landfill. The investigations were carried out during the spring–winter and the spring seasons using two types of the electronic nose instrument. The field olfactometers were employed to determine the mean odour concentration, which was from 2.1 to 32.2 ou/m3 depending on the measurement site and season of the year. In...

Sea spray as a secondary source of chlorinated persistent organic pollutants? - Conclusions from a comparison of seven fresh snowfall events in 2019 and 2021
PublicationSecondary sources of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) gain in importance worldwide as primary sources decline. In this work, we aim to determine whether sea spray may be a secondary source of chlorinated POPs to the terrestrial Arctic, since a similar mechanism was proposed there only for the more water-soluble POPs. To this end, we have determined polychlorinated biphenyls and organochlorine pesticides concentrations in fresh...

POM/EVA Blends with Future Utility in Fused Deposition Modeling
PublicationPolyoxymethylene (POM) is one of the most popular thermoplastic polymers used in the industry. Therefore, the interest in its potential applications in rapid prototyping is understandable. Nevertheless, its low dimensional stability causes the warping of 3D prints, limiting its applications. This research aimed to evaluate the effects of POM modification with ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) (2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 wt.%) on its processing...

The Maslov index and the spectral flow—revisited
PublicationWe give an elementary proof of a celebrated theorem of Cappell, Lee and Miller which relates the Maslov index of a pair of paths of Lagrangian subspaces to the spectral flow of an associated path of self-adjoint first-order operators. We particularly pay attention to the continuity of the latter path of operators, where we consider the gap-metric on the set of all closed operators on a Hilbert space. Finally, we obtain from Cappell,...

Galerkin formulations of isogeometric shell analysis: Alleviating locking with Greville quadratures and higher-order elements
PublicationWe propose new quadrature schemes that asymptotically require only four in-plane points for Reissner–Mindlin shell elements and nine in-plane points for Kirchhoff–Love shell elements in B-spline and NURBS-based isogeometric shell analysis, independent of the polynomial degree p of the elements. The quadrature points are Greville abscissae associated with pth-order B-spline basis functions whose continuities depend on the specific...

Algebraic periods and minimal number of periodic points for smooth self-maps of 1-connected 4-manifolds with definite intersection forms
PublicationLet M be a closed 1-connected smooth 4-manifolds, and let r be a non-negative integer.

Combinatorial scheme of finding minimal number of periodic points for smooth self-maps of simply connected manifolds
PublicationLet M be a closed smooth connected and simply connected manifold of dimension m at least 3, and let r be a fixed natural number. The topological invariant D^m_r [f], defined by the authors in [Forum Math. 21 (2009), 491-509], is equal to the minimal number of r-periodic points in the smooth homotopy class of f, a given self-map of M. In this paper, we present a general combinatorial scheme of computing D^m_r [f] for arbitrary dimension...

Periodic expansion in determining minimal sets of Lefschetz periods for Morse–Smale diffeomorphisms

Applying this approach we present an algorithmic method of finding the family of minimal sets of Lefschetz periods for Ng, a non-orientable compact surfaces without boundary of genus g. We also partially confirm the conjecture of Llibre and Sirvent (J Diff...
