Political Sources of Government Redistribution in High-Income Countries
PublicationIn cross-national empirical work on income inequality and government redistribution, the greatest emphasis has been on the extremes of the income scale. Less work has been done on groups that are neither rich nor poor—the middle class. The lack of attention to this group is unfortunate for several reasons. Most obviously, the middle class, if defined as the three middle income quintile groups, is by far the largest income group,...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in bottom sediments: Identification of sources
PublicationPolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can enter the environment from various sources. They are synthetic chemicals and as such are present in the environment mainly as mixtures containing various amounts of PCB congeners. It is therefore difficult to pinpoint the source of PCB emissions into the environment and the pathways along which they migrate there. The situation is different where locating the emission sources of polycyclic aromatic...

Why is the cubic structure preferred in newly formed ice?
PublicationMolecular dynamics was employed to explain the preference for the cubic structure in newly formed crystals of ice. The results showed that in supercooled liquid water the molecules connected by hydrogen bonds are more likely to adopt relative orientations similar to the ones characteristic for cubic ice. The observed preference for certain relative orientations of molecules in the hydrogen-bonded pairs results in the higher probability...

Localization of sound sources with dual acoustic vector sensor
PublicationThe aim of the work is to estimate the position of sound sources. The proposed method uses a setup of two acoustic vector sensors (AVS). The intersection of azimuth rays from each AVS should indicate the position of a source. In practice, the result of position estimation using this method is an area rather than a point. This is a result of inaccuracy of the individual sensors, but more importantly, of the influence of a source...

Weak forms of shadowing in topological dynamics
PublicationWe consider continuous maps of compact metric spaces. It is proved that every pseudotrajectory with sufficiently small errors contains a subsequence of positive density that is point-wise close to a subsequence of an exact trajectory with the same indices. Also, we study homeomor- phisms such that any pseudotrajectory can be shadowed by a finite number of exact orbits. In terms of numerical methods this property (we call it multishadowing)...

Influence of sulphanilamide in wastewater on Anammox process
PublicationBadano wpływ krótko- oraz długookresowej ekspozycji mieszanej kultury Anammox na działanie sulfonamidu. Otrzymane wyniki potwierdziły, że sulfanilamid (SA)hamuje proces Anammox. Wyższe stężenia SA powodowały silniejszy efekt inhibicji usuwania związków azotu ze ścieków. Natomiast długookresowe testy potwierdziły hipotezę, że wydłużenie czasu ekspozycji mikroorganizmów Anammox na działanie SA skutkuje obniżeniem stopnia inhibicji...
