Fabrication of FeAl Intermetallic Foams by Tartaric Acid-Assisted Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis
No full textIron aluminides are intermetallics with interesting applications in porous form thanks to their mechanical and corrosion resistance properties. However, making porous forms of these materials is not easy due to their high melting points. We formed FeAl foams by elemental iron and aluminum powders sintering with tartaric acid additive. Tartaric acid worked as an in situ gas-releasing agent during the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of FeAl intermetallic alloy, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction measurements. The porosity of the formed foams was up to 36 ± 4%. In the core of the sample, the average equivalent circle diameter was found to be 47 ± 20 µm, while on the surface, it was 35 ± 16 µm; thus, the spread of the pore size was smaller than reported previously. To investigate functional applications of the formed FeAl foam, the pressure drop of air during penetration of the foam was examined. It was found that increased porosity of the material increased the flow of the air through the metallic foam

Amino Acids Aided Sintering for the Formation of Highly Porous FeAl Intermetallic Alloys
No full textFabrication of metallic foams by sintering metal powders mixed with thermally degradable compounds is of interest for numerous applications. Compounds releasing gaseous nitrogen, minimizing interactions between the formed gases and metallic foam by diluting other combustion products, were applied. Cysteine and phenylalanine, were used as gas releasing agents during the sintering of elemental Fe and Al powders in order to obtain metallic foams. Characterization was carried out by optical microscopy with image analysis, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, and gas permeability tests. Porosity of the foams was up to 42 ± 3% and 46 ± 2% for sintering conducted with 5 wt % cysteine and phenylalanine, respectively. Chemical analyses of the formed foams revealed that the oxygen content was below 0.14 wt % and the carbon content was below 0.3 wt %. Therefore, no brittle phases could be formed that would spoil the mechanical stability of the FeAl intermetallic foams. The gas permeability tests revealed that only the foams formed in the presence of cysteine have enough interconnections between the pores, thanks to the improved air flow through the porous materials. The foams formed with cysteine can be applied as filters and industrial catalysts

ISSN 0239-3271.The article emphasizes the need of learning from one’s own history mistakes and the success of other countries such as Japan and China. The author presented the current situation of Poland in both skeptical and optimistic perspectives. The transformation of 1989 is indicated as the genesis of current challenges of the country. In the next part of the article there are suggested actions that could be taken after the transformation in the field of state and organization management in order to realize the idea of Poland as the “second Japan”. The last part of the article is devoted to describing what can still be learned from the Far East countries in the field of economy and management

Percepcja różnych form składniowych zdań generycznych: badanie eksperymentalne
No full textGenerics are statements that express generalizations about categories rather than individuals (e.g., “a tiger is striped,” “mosquitoes carry the West Nile Virus,” or “the dinosaur is extinct”). In English, some generics can assume more than one syntactic form, i.e., bare plural, definite singular, and indefinite singular, while others seem acceptable in the bare plural form only. Experimental findings (Karczewski 2015) speak in favour of a claim that plural generics represent a prototypical construction in English and Polish. Thus, we sought to explore – relying on a conceptually based approach to generics (Prasada et al. 2013) – the extent to which adult speakers of Polish accept various predication types (majority characteristic, minority characteristic, majority statistical, or striking) in the singular form. The primary goal of the article is to replicate Leslie et al.’s studies (2009), while introducing a different research method and using the data from Polish sources. Overall, the results of the study indicate that the singular form in Polish selects generic statements that express principled information concerning the kind and, as such, our results confirm the findings from Leslie et al. (2009) and Prasada et al. (2013).Zdania generyczne to stwierdzenia, które wyrażają uogólnienia dotyczące całych kategorii, a nie ich konkretnych przedstawicieli (np. „tygrys jest w paski”, „komary przenoszą malarię” czy „dinozaury wymarły”). W języku angielskim niektóre zdania generyczne mogą przyjąć więcej niż jedną formę składniową, wyrażoną w obrębie grupy nominalnej, to jest: liczby mnogiej bez przedimka, liczby pojedynczej z przedimkiem określonym i liczby pojedynczej z przedimkiem nieokreślonym. Wyniki badań eksperymentalnych (Karczewski 2015) przemawiają za twierdzeniem, że zdania generyczne wyrażone w liczbie mnogiej stanowią konstrukcję prototypową w języku angielskim i polskim. Dlatego też podjęliśmy próbę zbadania – opierając się na pojęciowym modelu opisu zdań generycznych (Prasada i in. 2013) – w jakim zakresie dorośli rodzimi użytkownicy języka polskiego przyjmują za poprawne użycie liczby pojedynczej w różnych rodzajach predykatów generycznych (takich jak cecha reprezentatywna przypisywana większości, cecha reprezentatywna przypisywana znacznej części, cecha statystycznie typowa, cecha uderzająca). Głównym celem prezentowanych badań jest replika badań Leslie i in. (2009), ale z zastosowaniem odmiennej metodologii i z użyciem polskich danych. Wyniki eksperymentu wskazują, że w języku polskim grupa nominalna w liczbie pojedynczej jest akceptowalna w tych zdaniach generycznych, które wyrażają powiązanie oparte na cesze regularnej. Obserwacja ta potwierdza wnioski wynikające z badań Leslie i in. (2009) i Prasady i in. (2013).Daniel Karczewski: [email protected] Wajda: [email protected] Karczewski - Uniwersytet w BiałymstokuEdyta Wajda - Uniwersytet w BiałymstokuCarlson, Gregory N. 1980.

Sensitivity to extralinguistic cues to identify generic and non-generic meaning
No full textThe authors are thankful to Anna Bakłażec who designed pictorial stimuli for the study.Generic sentences convey generalizations about kinds. In contrast, non-generics express facts about specific individuals or groups of individuals. However, to identify generic meaning, we have to integrate multiple cues. This study tested whether the discrepancy between the noun phrase and the number of objects (extralinguistic cues) present should force a generic interpretation whereas the match between the noun phrase and the number of objects present would give rise to a non-generic interpretation. Results demonstrated that adults are sensitive to the match and the mismatch situations in three out of four conditions tested. The data also indicate the importance of world knowledge cues in construing sentences as generic.The study was supported by the Erasmus Mundus Action 2 project Aurora II (2013-2521) grant to Karczewski.Daniel Karczewski: [email protected] Buivolova: [email protected] Karczewski holds a PhD in linguistics, and works in the Institute of Modern Languages at the University of Białystok.

Listy do siedmiu Kościołów w „Johannes Offenbarung” Johanna Gottfrieda Herdera
No full textThe Article Messages to the Seven Churches in “Johannes Offenbarung” by Johann Gottfried Herder refers to the publication in Polish Siedem bram. Komentarz do Apokalipsy 2–3 według “Johannes Offenbarung” Johanna Gottfrieda Herdera, in: Veritatem revelare. Księga Pamiątkowa dedykowana ks. dr. hab. S. Ewertowskiemu, prof. UWM. W 40-lecie święceń kapłańskich i 65-lecie urodzin, ed. M. Karczewski, S. Mikołajczak, J. Ruciński, Faculty of Theology University of Warmia and Mazury, Olsztyn 2017, p. 107–118. However in the English-language article significantly expanded the number of quotes from the original source, the scientific bibliography has been supplemented, the theological conclusion were refined, the content of the publication has been extended. The article is a contribution too further research on the biblical hermeneutic of Johann Gottfried Herder. Scientific discussion on this subject is not free from simplifications and opinions not entirely legitimate. The article contains an introduction, two main parts and conclusion. The main parts contain: 1) a short description of the scientific and ecclesiastical career of J.G. Herder; discussion of his theological works; characteristics of J.G. Herder as a biblist and 2) analysis of the Messages to the Seven Churches contained in his commentary on the Revelation. The basic source is Maran atha. Das Buch von der Zukunft des Herrn. Des Neuen Testaments Siegel. 1779 issued originally in Riga and in the edition of J.G. Müller in Stuttgart and Tübingen in the Johann Gottfried von Herder’s Sämtliche Werke. Zur Religion und Theologie. Zwölfter Theilseries, 1829, pp. 8–291 along with additional texts on the Revelation of St. John from 1773–1778. A biblical commentary to Rev. 2–3, along with its unusual scientific style and preaching, is a valuable source of knowledge about Herder’s biblical interpretation. This allows you to get acquainted with Herder’s original theology, which, flowing from the Word of God, is based on three pillars: Christology, pneumatology and ecclesiology. Theological message of J.G. Herder contained in the discussed part of the commentary on the Revelation has, over many points, the value above the confessional and timeless.Artykuł Messages to the Seven Churches in Johannes Offenbarung by Johann Gottfried Herder nawiązuje do publikacji w języku polskim Siedem bram.

Jednak w artykule angielskojęzycznym poszerzono znacznie ilość cytatów z oryginalnego źródła, uzupełniono bibliografię naukową, dopracowano wnioski teologiczne, poszerzono zasadniczą treść publikacji. Artykuł stanowi przyczynek do dalszych badań nad hermeneutyką biblijną Johanna Gottfrieda Herdera. W dyskusji naukowej na ten temat nie brakuje bowiem uproszczeń i opinii nie do końca uprawnionych. Artykuł zawiera wstęp, dwie części główne oraz zakończenie. Części główne są dedykowane odpowiednio: (1) krótkiej charakterystyce rozwoju naukowego oraz kariery kościelnej J.G. Herdera; omówieniu jego twórczości teologicznej; charakterystyce twórczości J.G. Herdera jako biblisty oraz (2) analizie Listów do Kościołów zawartych w jego komentarzu do Apokalipsy. Źródło podstawowe stanowi tekst Maran atha. Das Buch von der Zukunft des Herrn. Des Neuen Testaments Siegel. 1779 wydany pierwotnie w Rydze oraz w edycji J. G. Müllera w Stuttgarcie i Tybindze w serii Johann Gottfried von Herder’s Sämtliche Werke. Zur Religion und Theologie. Zwölfter Theil w roku 1829, s. 8 – 291 wraz z dodatkowymi tekstami dotyczącymi Apokalipsy św. Jana z lat 1773 – 1778. Komentarz biblijny do Ap 2 – 3, wraz z jego niezwykłym stylem naukowym i kaznodziejskim zarazem stanowi cenne źródło informacji o sposobach interpretacji tekstu biblijnego stosowanych przez J. G. Herdera. Jednocześnie pozwala zapoznać się bliżej oryginalną teologią Herdera, która wypływając ze Słowa Boga zdaje się bazować na trzech filarach: chrystologii, pneumatologii oraz eklezjologii. Przesłanie teologiczne J. G. Herdera zawarte w omawianej części komentarza do Apokalipsy św. Jana posiada w wielu punktach walor ponad konfesyjny i ponadczasowy
