Wokół rekodyfikacji prawa cywilnego. Prace jubileuszowe

Praca recenzowana / Peer-reviewed paperPrezentowana książka to głos w debacie nad stanem naszej kodyfikacji cywilnej. Jubileusz 50-lecia uchwalenia Kodeksu cywilnego, Kodeksu rodzinnego i opiekuńczego oraz Kodeksu postępowania cywilnego zbiega się z jubileuszem Profesora Janusza Szwai1. Profesor, wybitny cywilista, obchodzi swoje 80. urodziny, mija także 50 lat od obrony przez Niego doktoratu. Jest to doskonała okazja by przyjrzeć się propozycjom zmian prawa cywilnego płynących z różnych środowisk akademickich. Wszak dużą część swojego życia Profesor Szwaja poświęcił pracom legislacyjnym, ich komentowaniu czy krytykowaniu. Sam aktywnie w zmianach różnych kodyfikacji uczestniczył. Jego poglądy zawsze były wyważone. Dziś właśnie taki wyważony głos w dyskusji nad kształtem polskiego prawa cywilnego stał się niezbędny

Magnetic Angle Changer for Studies of Electronically Excited Long-Living Atomic States

A new geometry of a magnetic angle changer (MAC) device is proposed, which allows experiments to be run on electron impact excitation of long-lived states of target atoms. The details of the device’s design are presented and discussed together with a numerical analysis of its magnetic field

Using Machine Learning in Electrical Tomography for Building Energy Efficiency through Moisture Detection

Wet foundations and walls of buildings significantly increase the energy consumption of buildings, and the drying of walls is one of the priority activities as part of thermal modernization, along with the insulation of the facades. This article discusses the research findings of detecting moisture decomposition within building walls utilizing electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and deep learning techniques. In particular, the focus was on algorithmic models whose task is transforming voltage measurements into spatial EIT images. Two homogeneous deep learning networks were used: CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and LSTM (Long-Short Term Memory). In addition, a new heterogeneous (hybrid) network was built with LSTM and CNN layers. Based on the reference reconstructions’ simulation data, three separate neural network algorithmic models: CNN, LSTM, and the hybrid model (CNN+LSTM), were trained. Then, based on popular measures such as mean square error or correlation coefficient, the quality of the models was assessed with the reference images. The obtained research results showed that hybrid deep neural networks have great potential for solving the tomographic inverse problem. Furthermore, it has been proven that the proper joining of CNN and LSTM layers can improve the effect of EIT reconstructions

Fluorescent imaging of heavy charged particle tracks with LiF single crystals

Radiophotoluminescence of F2 and F3 + color centers in LiF was exploited for imaging tracks of energetic heavy charged particles. LiF crystals were irradiated with helium, carbon, neon, silicon and iron ions at the HIMAC accelerator in Chiba, Japan. The patterns created by radiation were visualized with a wide-field fluorescent microscope under blue-light excitation. The shape of the visible tracks was found not to depend on ion type and energy. The full width at half maximum of track profiles was in all cases around 500 nm, what corresponds with the resolution limit of the microscope, which was estimated to be 420 nm. On the other hand the fluorescent intensity of tracks was found to increase in a linear manner with the increasing LET. This indicates possibility of obtaining some spectrometric information on the radiation field

Luminescent dosimetry: review of methods, detectors and their applications

W artykule, po krótkim opisie rozwoju historycznego, przedstawiono teorię termoluminescencji (TL). Omówiono i porównano trzy metody stymulowania luminescencji termiczną (TSL), optyczną (OSL) i radiową (RPL). Przedstawiono i opisano szeroki zakres zastosowań detektorów TL w dozymetrii indywidualnej i środowiskowej z naciskiem na pomiary ultrawysokich dawek. Jako szczególnie ważne w dozymetrii klinicznej do radioterapii nowotworów oka, opracowano termoluminescencyjne detektory planarne 2D. Opisano udział zespołu z Instytutu Fizyki Jądrowej (IFJ) w kosmicznym eksperymencie MATROSHKA. Przedstawiono również nowe materiały TL i nowe metody pomiarowe.In the paper, after a brief description of historical development, the theory of thermoluminescence (TL) is presented. Three methods of thermally (TSL), optically (OSL) and radio (RPL) stimulated luminescence are discussed and compared. A wide range of applications of TL detectors in individual and environmental dosimetry with an attention put on ultra-high dose measurements is presented and described. As particularly important in clinical dosimetry for eye-tumor radiotherapy, the planar 2D detectors TL were developed. The participation of the Institute of Nuclear Physics (IFJ) group in the Cosmos MATROSHKA experiment is described. Also, the new TL materials and measurement methods are presented

Application of the LPE-Grown LuAG: Ce Film/YAG Crystal Composite Thermoluminescence Detector for Distinguishing the Components of the Mixed Radiation Field

Single-crystalline films (SCFs) of the LuAG: Ce garnet grown using the liquid-phase epitaxy method onto YAG single-crystal (SC) substrates were investigated for possible applications as composite thermoluminescent (TL) detectors. Such detectors may help to register the different components of ionizing radiation fields with various penetration depths, e.g., heavy charged particles and gamma or beta rays. It was found that the TL signal of LuAG: Ce SCF sufficiently differs from that of the YAG substrate concerning both the temperature and wavelength of emissions. Furthermore, even by analyzing TL glow curves, it was possible to distinguish the difference between weakly and deeply penetrating types of radiation. Within a test involving the exposure of detectors with the mixed alpha/beta radiations, the doses of both components were determined with an accuracy of a few percent
