Cathodic Activation of Titania-Fly Ash Cenospheres for Efficient Electrochemical Hydrogen Production: A Proposed Solution to Treat Fly Ash Waste
PublicationFly ash (FA) is a waste product generated in huge amounts by coal-fired electric and steam-generating plants. As a result, the use of FA alone or in conjunction with other materials is an intriguing study topic worth exploring. Herein, we used FA waste in conjunction with titanium oxide (TiO2) to create (FA-TiO2) nanocomposites. For the first time, a cathodic polarization pre-treatment regime was applied to such nanocomposites...

Critical Case Stochastic Phylogenetic Tree Model via the Laplace Transform
PublicationBirth–and–death models are now a common mathematical tool to describe branching patterns observed in real–world phylogenetic trees. Liggett and Schinazi (2009) is one such example. The authors propose a simple birth–and–death model that is compatible with phylogenetic trees of both influenza and HIV, depending on the birth rate parameter. An interesting special case of this model is the critical case where the birth rate equals the...

Degree of entaglement as a physically ill-posted problem: The case of entaglement with vacuum
PublicationAnalizujemy przypadek fotonu w superpozycji różnych modów i zadajemy pytanie o stopień ich splątania z próżnią. Problem okazuje się być źle postawiony, gdyż nie wiemy którą reprezentację algebry CCR wybrać dla kwantowania pola. Gdy dokonamy wyboru jednoznacznie możemy rozwiązać zagadnienie splątania. Tak więc trudność nie leży w matematyce lecz w fizyce problemu.

A Formal Approach to Model the Expansion of Natural Events: The Case of Infectious Diseases
PublicationA formal approach to modeling the expansion of natural events is presented in this paper. Since the mathematical, statistical or computational methods used are not relevant for development, a modular framework is carried out that guides from the external observation down to the innermost level of the variables that have to appear in the future mathematical-computational formalization. As an example we analyze the expansion of Covid-19....
