Determining the Seasonal Variability of the Territorial Sea Baseline in Poland (2018–2020) Using Integrated USV/GNSS/SBES Measurements
PublicationThe Territorial Sea Baseline (TSB) allows coastal states to define the maritime boundaries, such as: contiguous zone, continental shelf, exclusive economic zone and territorial sea. Their delimitations determine what rights (jurisdiction and sovereignty) a given coastal state is entitled to. For many years, the problem of delimiting baseline was considered in two aspects: legal (lack of clear-cut regulations and different interpretations)...

MutL protein as a constituent of vsp, ner and mmr repair systems
PublicationMutS and MutL proteins are renowned mostly for their functions in well-characterized, post-DNA replication mis- match repair system (MMR). However, there is growing evidence that MMR system is not the only field of action for these pro- teins. Moreover, the participation in MMR does not even have to be their primary function. There are some reports indicat- ing involvement of MutL in BER, NER and VSP (very short patch repair)....
