Farming on the Edge in Poland. Options for Improving Farm Incomes for the Main Types of Farms after Joining the EU
No full textThe aim of the paper is to examine the financial impacts of introducing the Common Agricultural Policy into the Polish farming sector after the accession to the EU. Aggregated results from farm level modelling using linear programming for 210 farm types representing the variety of Polish farms, and 90% of the agricultural sector are presented. The benefits of the negotiated subsidy arrangements are unequally distributed and only a partial solution to low farm family incomes.EU accession, Polish Agriculture, direct payments, typical farms, farm model., Farm Management,
Model based defect characterization in composites
No full textWork is reported on model-based defect characterization in CFRP composites. The work utilizes computational models of the interaction of NDE probing energy fields (ultrasound and thermography), to determine 1) the measured signal dependence on material and defect properties (forward problem), and 2) an assessment of performance-critical defect properties from analysis of measured NDE signals (inverse problem). Work is reported on model implementation for inspection of CFRP laminates containing multi-ply impact-induced delamination, with application in this paper focusing on ultrasound. A companion paper in these proceedings summarizes corresponding activity in thermography. Inversion of ultrasound data is demonstrated showing the quantitative extraction of damage properties.This proceeding may be downloaded for personal use only.

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

Intelligent opinion mining and sentiment analysis using artificial neural networks
No full textThe article formulates a rigorously developed concept of opinion mining and sentiment analysis using hybrid neural networks. This conceptual method for processing natural-language text enables a variety of analyses of the subjective content of texts. It is a methodology based on hybrid neural networks for detecting subjective content and potential opinions, as well as a method which allows us to classify different opinion type and sentiment score classes. Moreover, a general processing scheme, using neural networks, for sentiment and opinion analysis has been presented. Furthermore, a methodology which allows us to determine sentiment regression has been devised. The paper proposes a method for classification of the text being examined based on the amount of positive, neutral or negative opinion it contains. The research presented here offers the possibility of motivating and inspiring further development of the methods that have been elaborated in this paper.Stuart, KDC.; Majewski, M. (2015).

Old open clusters in the outer Galactic disk
No full textContext.The outer parts of the Milky Way disk are believed to be one of the main arenas
where the accretion of external material in the form of dwarf
galaxies and subsequent formation of
streams is taking place. The Monoceros stream and
the Canis Major and Argo over-densities are notorious examples.
Understanding whether what we detect is the signature of accretion
or, more conservatively, simply the intrinsic nature of the disk,
represents one of the
major goals of modern Galactic astronomy.
Aims.We try to shed more light on the properties of the outer disk by
exploring the properties of distant anti-center old open clusters. We want to verify
whether distant clusters follow the chemical and dynamical
behavior of the solar vicinity disk, or whether their properties
can be better explained in terms of an extra-galactic population.
Methods.VLT high resolution spectra have been acquired for five distant open
clusters: Ruprecht 4, Ruprecht 7, Berkeley 25, Berkeley 73 and
Berkeley 75. We derive accurate radial velocities to distinguish field
interlopers and cluster members.
For the latter we perform a detailed abundance analysis and derive the
iron abundance [Fe/H] and the abundance ratios of several α elements.
Results.Our analysis confirms previous indications that the radial
abundance gradient in the outer Galactic disk does not follow the
expectations extrapolated from
the solar vicinity, but exhibits a shallower slope.
By combining the metallicity of the
five program clusters with eight more clusters for which high resolution
spectroscopy is available, we find that the mean metallicity in the
outer disk between 12 and 21 kpc from the Galactic center is [Fe/H] ≈ -0.35, with only marginal indications for a radial variation.
In addition, all the program clusters exhibit solar scaled or
slightly enhanced α elements, similar to open clusters in the solar
vicinity and thin disk stars.
Conclusions.We investigate whether
this outer disk cluster sample might belong to an
extra-galactic population, like the Monoceros ring.
However, close scrutiny of their properties –
location, kinematics and chemistry – does not convincingly favor this hypothesis.
On the contrary, they appear more likely genuine Galactic disk
clusters. We finally stress the importance to obtain
proper motion measurements for these clusters
to constrain their orbits

Dilemmas in educating and improving officers in the field of leadership competences
No full textThere is a need to educate and improve army officers in leadership. Leadership is a factor that increases the likelihood of efficient action and in difficult moments can decide about the results of action. The right choice of goals and content of leadership education, as well as the selection of teachers who have relevant competences are important when designing studies. When choosing the content of education, one should pay attention to the multitude of dilemmas related to leadership. Several of them, discussed in the article, are particularly relevant. They relate to the list of leadership competences that should be shaped, loyalty to subordinates and superiors, the adequacy of the use of forces to the tasks received, the selection of teachers and the phenomenon of captainism. The teacher plays a special role, especially since the process of shaping leadership is a difficult task, which requires acquiring new knowledge, intentional, thought-out didactic activities, and reflection on mistakes and successes.Tomasz Majewski – prof. dr hab., Akademia Sztuki Wojennej w WarszawieDorota Kurek – dr, Akademia Sztuki Wojennej w WarszawieAdair J., Anatomia biznesu.
