Papal Economics corrects the record about one of the most important—but least u00adunderstood—authorities on capitalism and democracy: the Catholic Church. Maciej Zieba, OP—a leading interpreter of the thought of Pope John Paul II—takes readers on an enlightening tour through the Catholic Church’s social teaching on economics and governance. Examining papal pronouncements from the late nineteenth century to the present, Zieba shows that the Church displays a profound understanding of democracy and support for free markets. But this praise is not unqualiu00adfied—a major reason why secular commentators of all stripes misinterpret Catholic social teaching. Updated with a brand-new afterword explaining the controversial economic teachings of Pope Francis, Papal u00adEconomics is the essential book for understanding the proper path forward.

Andrzej Wajda stands as one of the leading film-makers in contemporary European cinema, although his equally important theatrical achievements have remained less well-known. This book provides the first account and critical evaluation of this Polish director''s work for the theatre. Maciej Karpinski examines Wajda''s theatrical career focusing especially on such milestone productions as his internationally acclaimed adaptations of Dostoyevsky. Through an analysis of Wajda''s aesthetic views and resultant productions, the study also reveals the vital link between his art and contemporary Polish culture. Karpinski is in a unique position to present a study of Wajda. Since 1974 he has collaborated with the director on a number of productions including The Affair, The Emigrants, and Nastasya Filippovna. As the most complete study of Wajda in the theatre, this book will enable students and teachers to have a fuller knowledge of this important twentieth-century director. The book also contains a full chronology of his theatrical career as well as photographs from productions.

Computational Materials Engineering: Achieving High Accuracy and Efficiency in Metals Processing Simulations describes the most common computer modeling and simulation techniques used in metals processing, from so-called "fast" models to more advanced multiscale models, also evaluating possible methods for improving computational accuracy and efficiency. Beginning with a discussion of conventional fast models like internal variable models for flow stress and microstructure evolution, the book moves on to advanced multiscale models, such as the CAFÉ method, which give insights into the phenomena occurring in materials in lower dimensional scales. The book then delves into the various methods that have been developed to deal with problems, including long computing times, lack of proof of the uniqueness of the solution, difficulties with convergence of numerical procedures, local minima in the objective function, and ill-posed problems. It then concludes with suggestions on how to improve accuracy and efficiency in computational materials modeling, and a best practices guide for selecting the best model for a particular application. - Presents the numerical approaches for high-accuracy calculations - Provides researchers with essential information on the methods capable of exact representation of microstructure morphology - Helpful to those working on model classification, computing costs, heterogeneous hardware, modeling efficiency, numerical algorithms, metamodeling, sensitivity analysis, inverse method, clusters, heterogeneous architectures, grid environments, finite element, flow stress, internal variable method, microstructure evolution, and more - Discusses several techniques to overcome modeling and simulation limitations, including distributed computing methods, (hyper) reduced-order-modeling techniques, regularization, statistical representation of material microstructure, and the Gaussian process - Covers both software and hardware capabilities in the area of improved computer efficiency and reduction of computing time

Quantum computers, though not yet available on the market, will revolutionize the future of information processing. Quantum computers for special purposes like quantum simulators are already within reach. The physics of ultracold atoms, ions and molecules offer unprecedented possibilities of control of quantum many body systems and novel possibilities of applications to quantum information processing and quantum metrology. Particularly fascinating is the possibility of using ultracold atoms in lattices to simulate condensed matter or even high energy physics. This book provides a complete and comprehensive overview of ultracold lattice gases as quantum simulators. It opens up an interdisciplinary field involving atomic, molecular and optical physics, quantum optics, quantum information, condensed matter and high energy physics. The book includes some introductory chapters on basic concepts and methods, and then focuses on the physics of spinor, dipolar, disordered, and frustrated lattice gases. It reviews in detail the physics of artificial lattice gauge fields with ultracold gases. The last part of the book covers simulators of quantum computers. After a brief course in quantum information theory, the implementations of quantum computation with ultracold gases are discussed, as well as our current understanding of condensed matter from a quantum information perspective.

The book was prepared by the academics and doctoral students of the Faculty of International Business and Economics of the Poznań University of Economics and Business to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the University and the 10th anniversary of the Faculty itself. The subject of this Volume reflects the variety of issues that are researched by academics from all departments of the Faculty. The rationale for publishing this Volume was to signal current work and research progress in the area of international economics, business and management. As the title of the Volume suggests, we need to anticipate changes and implement a new approach to face the challenges in the world economy for it is transforming in an unprecedented way now, at a fast pace, and the global economic map is constantly redrawing. Papers published in this Volume are written by individual authors and workgroups. They are results of research conducted in departments and have been assigned to eight chapters discussing crucial aspects of the world economy. The deliberations are held on a micro- and macroeconomic level in both theoretical and empirical terms. We hope that the contents of individual papers will inspire both readers and authors themselves to make further studies, to carry out follow-up research, to network with one another in order to find answers to the most important problems of the world economy and international business.

Focusing on the issue of power as the main building block of relationships between business buyers and sellers, this book explains the complex nature of power with its multidimensional and multi-directional character. As a complex construct, inter-firm power is treated as a matter of perception as well as in terms of total and relative power. The book analyses extensively the issue of power asymmetry with its dynamics and its consequences for business-to-business (B2B) relationships, particularly analyzing the dynamic mechanism of power. Various theoretical domains or research streams regarding managing an asymmetrical business relationship by the weaker partner are also examined. Based on the studies of other scholars as well as on the authors'' own research, this book shows how weaker suppliers or buyers deal with high-power partners in business relationships and the approaches of more powerful parties to asymmetrical relationship development. Additionally, the book presents the specific nature of power in international B2B relationships, including its connection to culture and conflict, as well as how to handle power in managing export performance within international B2B relationships. It is written for scholars and students who are interested in academic research concerning B2B marketing and B2B relationship marketing domains, specifically those who are interested in literature dealing with supply chain management, key account management, relationship portfolio management, distribution channel management and the network approach.

"This book lays out the argument against the labelling of a skeleton found in Indonesia (the ''Hobbit'') a ''new species'' of human. Maciej Henneberg, international scientist and palaeo-anthropologist, writes of his reaction to the extraordinary claims of a ''new species'' find, his quick conclusion that the skeleton is not a new species, and his theory - along with other colleagues - that the skeleton is not only not a new species, but is that of a modern human with a growth disorder, and may only be around 40-50 years old. Based on studies of the teeth, Maciej Henneberg and other scientists believe the ''Hobbit'' may have had modern dental work."--Provided by publisher.

The physics of strongly interacting many-body systems known as nuclear physics is a mature discipline which has achieved a remarkably quantitative success. It has explained with an impressive accuracy the properties of nuclei from the deuteron to heavy nuclei containing several hundreds of nucleons. This is the more remarkable when one realizes that in no way did the success depend on the existence of, or knowledge derived from, the fundamental theory of strong interactions now believed to be quantum chromodynamics (QCD).This monograph is a first, albeit embryonic, attempt to explain how a nucleus can be understood without invoking the explicit degrees of freedom of quarks and gluons while still staying within the basic premise of QCD and furthermore why do quark-gluon signatures not show up prominently in nuclear processes, including those processes involving short-distance encounters within nuclei. Such an understanding is largely based on the modern concepts of broken chiral symmetry and is believed to be essential in uncovering new physics expected to figure in the hadronic environment under extreme conditions of high temperature and/or high density.

This book is an excellent, comprehensive introduction to semiclassical analysis. I believe it will become a standard reference for the subject. —Alejandro Uribe, University of Michigan Semiclassical analysis provides PDE techniques based on the classical-quantum (particle-wave) correspondence. These techniques include such well-known tools as geometric optics and the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin approximation. Examples of problems studied in this subject are high energy eigenvalue asymptotics and effective dynamics for solutions of evolution equations. From the mathematical point of view, semiclassical analysis is a branch of microlocal analysis which, broadly speaking, applies harmonic analysis and symplectic geometry to the study of linear and nonlinear PDE. The book is intended to be a graduate level text introducing readers to semiclassical and microlocal methods in PDE. It is augmented in later chapters with many specialized advanced topics which provide a link to current research literature.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important oxidant, used in various fields of industry, such as paper manufacturing, production of polymers, detergents, and cosmetics. Considering that the molecule degrades only to H2O and O2, it is regarded as a green chemical. Unfortunately, the incumbent method of H2O2 synthesis, based on anthraquinone oxidation, although efficient, is not environmentally friendly, as it requires fossil fuels and significant energy input. Therefore, there are efforts underway to reduce the ecological impact of hydrogen peroxide production. Some of the most promising approaches involve catalytic reduction of O2 to H2O2 in an aqueous environment. This can be coupled with water oxidation. As the required energy could be delivered in different ways, hydrogen peroxide synthesis can be achieved by electrocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, or photocatalysis. This thesis explores the possibility of using organic electronic materials as catalysts for H2O2 evolution in oxygenated water solutions. Organic electronics is a field of materials science focused on conducting and semiconducting organic molecules. These materials offer many possible advantages, related to low cost, flexibility, and good optoelectronic properties. Huge progress in the field over the last years led to their commercial applications in e.g. organic light emitting diodes and photovoltaics. Only very recently have organic electronics begun to be considered from the point of view of catalysis. In the first two papers, we investigate electrocatalytic activity of an organic pigment (PTCDI) and a conducting polymer (PEDOT) towards oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide. Both types of catalysts are chemically stable and able to operate in a wide pH range. In paper 3, we demonstrate that H2O2-evolving photocathodes can be based on an organic PN heterojunction, giving devices of a record-breaking performance. In the first part of paper 4, the same concept was tested for a naturally-occurring semiconductor, eumelanin, leading to a first report of photoelectrocatalytic properties of this material. In the second part of paper 4, as well as in papers 5 and 6, we explore, respectively, photochemical hydrogen peroxide synthesis with eumelanin, organic semiconductors, and organic dyes. We show that the photostability of catalysts is higher for materials with low-lying HOMO level and it can be increased by an addition of a reducing agent to the reaction system. Our findings prove that already existing organic electronic materials can be successfully applied in H2O2 evolution for environmentally friendly chemical synthesis, suggesting their use in harvesting of solar energy and in situ generation of hydrogen peroxide for biomedical applications. Väteperoxid (H2O2) är en viktig oxidant som används inom olika industrier, såsom papperstillverkning och produktion av polymerer, tvättmedel och kosmetika. Med tanke på att molekylen bryts ner till vatten (H2O) och syre (O2) betraktas den som en grön kemikalie. Tyvärr är den befintliga metoden för framställning av H2O2 baserad på oxidation av en antrakinon, en metod som är effektiv, men inte miljövänlig eftersom den kräver fossila bränslen och betydande energitillförsel. Det pågår därför ansträngningar för att minska den ekologiska effekten av väteperoxidproduktionen. Några av de mest lovande metoderna involverar katalytisk O2 till H2O2-reduktion i vattenlösning, kombinerat med vattenoxidation. Eftersom den nödvändiga energin kan levereras på olika sätt kan väteperoxidsyntesen uppnås genom elektrokatalys, fotoelektrokatalys eller fotokatalys. Denna avhandling undersöker möjligheten att använda organiska elektroniska material som katalysatorer för framställning av H2O2i syresatta vattenlösningar. Organisk elektronik är ett område inom materialvetenskap med fokus på ledande och halvledande organiska molekyler. Dessa material erbjuder många fördelar, såsom låg kostnad, flexibilitet och goda optoelektroniska egenskaper. Enorma framsteg på området har under de senaste åren lett till deras kommersiella tillämpningar i till exempel organiska ljusemitterande dioder och fotovoltaik. Nyligen har också organisk elektronik börjat övervägas ur katalysens synvinkel. I de två första artiklarna undersöker vi en elektrokatalytisk aktivitet av ett organiskt pigment (PTCDI) och en ledande polymer (PEDOT) i respekt till syrereduktion och väteperoxidproduktion. Båda typerna av katalysatorer är kemiskt stabila och kan arbeta inom ett brett pH-område. I artikel 3 visar vi att H2O2-producerande fotokatoder kan baseras på en organisk PN-gränsyta, vilket ger enheter med en rekordbrytande kapacitet. I den första delen av artikel 4 testades samma koncept för en naturligt förekommande halvledare, eumelanin, vilket ledde till en första rapport om fotoelektrokatalytiska egenskaper hos detta material. I den andra delen av artikel 4, samt i artikel 5 och 6, undersöker vi fotokemisk väteperoxidsyntes med eumelanin, organiska halvledare och organiska färgämnen. Vi visar att fotostabiliteten hos katalysatorer är högre för material med lågt liggande HOMO-nivå och att den kan ökas genom en tillsats av ett reduktionsmedel till reaktionssystemet. Våra fynd visar att redan befintliga organiska elektroniska material framgångsrikt kan tillämpas i H2O2-utvecklingen för miljövänlig kemisk syntes, vilket antyder att de kan användas för att ta tillvara på solenergi och för produktion av väteperoxid inom biomedicin.

The specific knowledge included in the content will enable the reader to understand and then to prepare appropriate programming softwares that will allow them to evaluate quality parameters of cellular networks, i.e. blocking probabilities or call losses. Additionally, the book presents models for the analysis and dimensioning of the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) radio interface and the Iub interface, both carrying a mixture of Release 99 traffic (R99) and High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) traffic streams. Finally, the analytical models presented in the book can be also used in the process of modeling and optimization of LTE networks. Key Features: Describes the architecture and the modes of operation of the cellular 2/3/4G systems and the LTE network Covers the traffic theory and engineering within the context of mobile networks Presents original analytical methods that enable their users to dimension selected interfaces of cellular networks Discusses models for the analysis and dimensioning of the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) radio interface and the Iub interface, both carrying a mixture of Release 99 traffic (R99) and High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) traffic streams Includes problems as well as an accompanying website containing solutions, software tools and interactive flash animations (http://wiley.teletraffic.pl) This book will be an invaluable guide for professional engineers (radio planning engineers, optimization engineers, transmission engineers, core network engineers, Service Management engineers) working in the areas of mobile wireless networks technology, not only in optimization process, but also in profitability assessment of newly implemented services (i.e. in NPV - Net Present Value analysis), and researchers and scientists. Advanced students in the fields of mobile communications networks and systems will also find this book insightful.

Since the very beginning of European integration, electricity has been within the legal sphere of the EU. Much of this is found within the binding European acts making up the framework of the Energy Packages. The established legal institutions have had a significant impact on the shape of the energy market in Europe. Nevertheless, the European energy market still seems to be developing, as demonstrated by the current lively discussion about the state of the Energy Union. Regulation in the European Electricity Sector delves into European energy law and reflects on some of the primary issues related to the public legal impact on the European energy sector. The book offers a brief explanation of the background operation of the electricity sector, as well as liberalisation within the area, and traces the evolution of the EU’s approach towards the issue of public law regulation within the electricity sector. Finally, the book presents an analysis of European and national laws, considering their interpretation, and explores the future of public law regulation. Aimed at giving the reader a deep insight into a nature of the state’s presence in the power sector, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of EU energy law and policy.

This paper introduces Prediction-at-Risk (PaR) methodology for assessing machine learning (AI/ML) inference risk. PaR is an adaptation of the Value-at-Risk (VaR) technique used in market risk management. In contrast to the VaR measure, where estimates are based on a quantile distribution of a stochastic process, the PaR estimates are based on a quantile distribution of a model’s output. The proposed methodology aims to provide an intuitive risk figure that identifies a true risk of the model performance and a solid measure for model backtesting. Formally PaR is defined as “the minimum potential metric value of a model with a given probability over a certain dataset”. This methodology provides an intrinsic view of a model’s robustness and its metrics’ risk with a given probability level. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the PaR concept, paying particular attention to the formal definition of the methodology along with real world implementation. This concept addresses both individual and systemic risk allowing to construct a risk management framework for AI/ML models. Conducted experiments provided a solid applicability proof of proposed approach on different kinds of assessing risk.

Rok 1966. Jerzy Ostrowski, konstruktor samochodów i mistrz szachowy, zostaje uprowadzony przez tajniaków. Jest przekonany, że czeka go egzekucja z zemsty za brata, ułana AK, który naraził się nowym władzom Polski. Rok 1943. Ludwik Kalkstein, gwiazda podziemnego wywiadu, zmienia front i doprowadza do aresztowania dowódcy AK. Wanda Kuryło, jeszcze niedawno współpracownica Kalksteina, rozpoczyna misję, która może odmienić powojenne losy Polski i Europy. W tym czasie w Oświęcimiu umiera jedyny człowiek, który może jej pomóc. Co łączy losy mistrza szachowego, zdrajcy i dziewczyny o niezwykłej urodzie, która po wojnie stanie się agentką MI6, a potem amerykańskiego kontrwywiadu? Gdzie ukryty jest bezcenny skarb, do którego chcą dotrzeć za wszelką cenę szpiedzy Hitlera, Stalina, Churchilla i Roosevelta? Czy Wandzie uda się poznać tajemnicę człowieka, którego kochała? Czy powiedzie się jej zemsta?
