Survey of applications of discrete vortex method in civil engineering.

This paper includes an introduction to Discrete Vortex Method (DVM) and its comparison with other methods of computer fluid dynamics. In its second part it focuses on the most important applications of DVM from the civil engineering point of view. Some examples known form literature are presented theoretical as well as experimental.This paper includes an introduction to Discrete Vortex Method (DVM) and its comparison with other methods of computer fluid dynamics.

The insulin activity model based on insulin profiles

The purpose of the research was to propound an insulin activity model in a human body after a subcutaneous injection. A deterministic model in the form of a mathematical function was formulated. The research was based on pharmaceutic publicly available drug information published by the manufactures. The paper presents in detail the model. The obtained results can be used in computer simulations of diabetes mellitus therapy. They suggest that activity models may be assigned to types of insulin instead of separate products

Absorbing Cantor sets in dynamical systems: Fibonacci maps

In this paper we shall show that there exists a polynomial unimodal map f: [0,1] -> [0,1] which is 1) non-renormalizable(therefore for each x from a residual set, $\omega(x)$ is equal to an interval), 2) for which $\omega(c)$ is a Cantor set, and 3) for which $\omega(x)=\omega(c)$ for Lebesgue almost all x. So the topological and the metric attractor of such a map do not coincide. This gives the answer to a question posed by Milnor

Advancement level of mobile applications intended for type 1 diabetes therapy supporting

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycaemia due to defective secretion and/or action of insulin. Chronic hyperglycaemia is associated with damage, dysfunction, and failure of various organs, in particular eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels.  It is estimated that the number of patients with type 1 diabetes accounts for about 10% of all diabetics, even more children and young adults i.e. under 30 constitute between 85 – 90 % of morbidities.  The fundamental part of type 1 diabetes therapy is providingpatient with an external insulin therapy. The objective of this research was to formulate requirements concerning mobile applications for diabetes 1 therapy as well as an overview and a classification of such applications currently available. This paper includes a set of 20 requirementsfor mobile applications intended for type 1 diabetes patients. Some of them are beyond the possibilities of the modern-day IT industry. Nowadays there is no applications that meets all of the criteria. However, the tendency to fulfill all of them can be noticed
