This volume presents easy-to-understand yet surprising properties obtained using topological, geometric and graph theoretic tools in the areas covered by the Geometry Conference that took place in Mulhouse, France from September 7–11, 2014 in honour of Tudor Zamfirescu on the occasion of his 70th anniversary. The contributions address subjects in convexity and discrete geometry, in distance geometry or with geometrical flavor in combinatorics, graph theory or non-linear analysis. Written by top experts, these papers highlight the close connections between these fields, as well as ties to other domains of geometry and their reciprocal influence. They offer an overview on recent developments in geometry and its border with discrete mathematics, and provide answers to several open questions. The volume addresses a large audience in mathematics, including researchers and graduate students interested in geometry and geometrical problems.
This book presents many valuable tips for making decisions related to road traffic in transport networks. The knowledge base in practical examples, as well as the decision support systems described in this volume, finds interest among people who face the daily challenge of searching for advanced solutions and practical applications in road traffic engineering. The publication is therefore addressed to local authorities related to the planning and development of development strategies for selected areas with regard to transport (both in the urban and regional dimension) and to representatives of business and industry, as people directly involved in the implementation of traffic engineering so...
W monografii przedstawiono wpływ akcesji Polski do Unii Europejskiej na główne rynki rolno-spożywcze. Badania dotyczyły lat 2004-2018. Główne cele autorów stanowiły analiza i ocena zmian zachodzących na poszczególnych rynkach – trendów i zmian strukturalnych – oraz poszukiwanie prawidłowości w zakresie podaży, popytu, cen oraz w handlu wybranymi produktami rolnymi i żywnościowymi. Podstawą analizy były dane publikowane przez GUS oraz opracowania Instytutu Ekonomiki Rolnictwa i Gospodarki Żywnościowej – Państwowego Instytutu Badawczego. Publikacja jest skierowana do studentów uczelni ekonomicznych, rolniczych i innych, a także do praktyków zajmujących się produkcją rolną, handlem i przetwórstwem produktów rolnych.
Title of the first 10 volumes of the series is Germans to America : lists of passengers arriving at U.S. ports 1850-1855.
This book presents many valuable research methods useful in conducting research in modern urban transportation systems and networks. The knowledge base in practical examples, as well as the decision support methods described in this book, is of interest to people who face the challenge of searching for solutions to the problems of contemporary transport networks and systems on a daily basis. The book is therefore addressed to local authorities related to the planning and development of strategies for selected areas with regard to transport (both in the urban and regional dimensions) and to representatives of business and industry, as people directly involved in the implementation of urban tr...
At least nine million Americans trace their roots to Poland, and Polish Americans have contributed greatly to American history and society. During the largest period of immigration to the United States, between 1870 and 1920, more Poles came to the United States than any other national group except Italians. Additional large-scale Polish migration occurred in the wake of World War II and during the period of Solidarity's rise to prominence. This encyclopedia features three types of entries: thematic essays, topical entries, and biographical profiles. The essays synthesize existing work to provide interpretations of, and insight into, important aspects of the Polish American experience. The topical entries discuss in detail specific places, events or organizations such as the Polish National Alliance, Polish American Saturday Schools, and the Latimer Massacre, among others. The biographical entries identify Polish Americans who have made significant contributions at the regional or national level either to the history and culture of the United States, or to the development of American Polonia.
Three million Polish Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, wiping out nearly 98 percent of the Jewish population who had lived and thrived there for generations. Night Without End tells the stories of their resistance, suffering, and death in unflinching, horrific detail. Based on meticulous research from across Poland, it concludes that those who were responsible for so many deaths included a not insignificant number of Polish villagers and townspeople who aided the Germans in locating and slaughtering Jews. When these findings were first published in a Polish edition in 2018, a storm of protest and lawsuits erupted from Holocaust deniers and from people who claimed the research was falsified and smeared the national character of the Polish people. Night Without End, translated and published for the first time in English in association with Yad Vashem, presents the critical facts, significant findings, and the unmistakable evidence of Polish collaboration in the genocide of Jews.
W książce podjęto problematykę zasobów osobistych i społecznych wychowanków młodzieżowych ośrodków wychowawczych i ustalenia ich związku z dobro-stanem psychicznym. Autorka omawia znaczenie zasobów psychospołecznych w życiu człowieka oraz przybliża ich resocjalizacyjny potencjał. Wskazuje także na sytuacji, w której wtórna socjalizacja osób dorastających odbywa się w separacji od zewnętrznych, naturalnych środowisk życia. Odwołując się do literatury przedmiotu, ukazuje niekorzystny wpływ izolacji instytucjonalnej na zdrowie psychiczne adolescentów. Na tej podstawie i z uwzględnieniem wyników badań własnych przedstawia nowe rozwiązania w pracy z młodzież...
