A pilot study of the novel J-PET plastic scintillator with 2-(4-styrylphenyl)benzoxazole as a wavelength shifter

For the first time a molecule of 2-(4-styrylphenyl)benzoxazole containing benzoxazole and stilbene groups is applied as a scintillator dopant acting as a wavelength shifter. In this article a light yield of the plastic scintillator, prepared from styrene doped with 2 wt% of 2,5-diphenylbenzoxazole and 0.03 wt% of 2-(4-styrylphenyl)benzoxazole, is determined to be as large as 60% $\pm$ 2% of the anthracene light output. There is a potential to improve this value in the future by the optimization of the additives concentrations

Monitoring port regulations and traffic violations on the Szczecin-Swinoujscie fairway

In this paper a method of utilising expert system technology for monitoring violations of chosen port regulations on the Szczecin-Swinoujście fairway is presented. The new algorithm developed by authors has been implemented into the program NEXPERT OBJECT. Information contained in this article may be useful while dealing with problems of decision support in VTS systems
