The role of traditional architectural models in the first stages of education.
PublikacjaThe oldest architectural models discovered by scientists date from the Middle Ages, while models or 1:1 scale prototypes were used in ancient times. Architectural miniatures quickly evolved into an indispensable tool for designers that enabled them to creatively express their thoughts and ideas. Mock-ups became a way of helping a designer communicate a concept, and their educational value was also recognised. The method of modelling,...

Problemy mieszkaniowe w budującej się Gdyni, „mieście poszukiwaczy złota”
PublikacjaMiasto Gdynia, zbudowane zupełnie od podstaw w przeciągu kilkunastu lat, na przestrzeni lat 1923-1939, stanowiło jedno z najważniejszych przedsięwzięć inwestycyjnych II Rzeczypospolitej. Szybka budowa dwóch składowych tego nowoczesnego ośrodka, jakimi były port i miasto, wiązała się nierzadko z nowymi, wcześniej trudnymi do przewidzenia wyzwaniami natury planistycznej i organizacyjnej. W początkowych latach budowy Gdyni zapewnienie...

Glaciers as an Important Element of the World Glacier Monitoring Implemented in Svalbard
PublikacjaGlaciers are not only contributors to the sea level rise but also important players in the circulation of pollutants. Over a billion people apply glacial waters for domestic purposes; hence, both the quality and quantity of this water should be monitored. In this chapter, we concentrate on the archipelago Svalbard in the Arctic, a typical target area for xenobiotics from long range atmospheric transport (LRAT), holding an important share...

Constructing a map of an anonymous graph: applications of universal sequences
PublikacjaWe study the problem of mapping an unknown environmentrepresented as an unlabelled undirected graph. A robot (or automaton)starting at a single vertex of the graph G has to traverse the graph and return to its starting point building a map of the graph in the process. We are interested in the cost of achieving this task (whenever possible) in terms of the number of edge traversal made by the robot. Another optimization criteria...

Real-Time PCR: molecular technique of many applications
PublikacjaReal-Time PCR is a sensitive DNA amplification technique initially applied in genetics and molecular biology. It enables in vivo copying of the selected DNA fragment (flanked by two primers) by the thermostable polymerase (in the presence of magnesium ions and deoxynucleotide triphosphates) and simultaneous measurement of the fluorescence. For one or more specific sequences in a DNA sample, real-time PCR enables both detection...
