Romuald Traugutt’s Cup
No full textThe author describes an object unknown in source literature – a souvenir which may have belonged to Romuald Traugutt, the dictator of the 1863 insurrection, who is still surrounded by a living cult. It is a silver cup with the engraved initials “R.T.”, made by a goldsmith from Moscow in 1860. According to family tradition written down by Irena Sosnowska, nee Szarecka, Romuald Traugutt exchanged glasses with Franciszek Jundziłło, commander of the neighbouring district, after the victorious battle of Horki (currently in Belarus). In 1865, Jundziłło’s widow is said to have given the souvenir to Stanisław Szarecki, her godson, who was a son of one of her husband’s comrades-in arm. The cup was inherited by Stanisław’s daughter, Irena Sosnowska, who handed it down to the author of the text, Stanisław Szarecki’s great-grandson. The author investigates the consist- ency of the family tale with the facts, and concludes that it is highly probably true. The detachments of Traugutt and Jundziłł, both former officers of the tsar’s army, fought near each other, in the area in which the Szarecki family’s manor – Strzałów (currently in Belarus) – was located
THEORY OF OPERATION AND ACT BY ROMUALD HUBE
No full textThe article presents the silhouette of eminent Polish scholar - Romuald Hube (1803 - 1890),
one of the most merited Polish lawyers of XlXth century - historian of the law, theoretician and
philosopher of the law, known also as scientific father of Polish penal law science. The Author
presents his biography and scientific work of R. Hube against the background o f the fate o f Polish
nationals within this period. The impact of fundamental publications of this scholar on the
development of Polish juridical ideas is then described and, more particularly — on the theory and
philosophy of penal law. In this respect his most important work was a handbook entitled Ogólne
zasady prawa karnego (1830) - (in English: General Principles o f Penal Law) Focusing mainly on
the theory of operation and act as adopted by R. Hube, the Author of the article presents methodological
opinions of this scholar - as a synthesis and accumulation of methodological tendencies
present in European science of the law of the epoch. When analysing minutely the sense and
assumptions of the theory of operation and act by R. Hube, the Author supports his own considerations
with numerous quotations from the work o f the great scholar
E-construction: in relation of implementation in local authorities / Romuald Kuha Pius Kuha
No full textConstruction is the most important industry that contributes towards the development of our nation. Physically all the effort should be provided in order to cater for the best quality of buildings being constructed. Construction plays a big role as the measurement of the growth and modernisation of the nation. However, construction doesn’t only involve on the matter of bricks and concretes. There are aspects in the construction we have not overview in details. The laymen would say construction is a rough industry when people standing in the middle of the construction field doing their job. As the world approach to the era of globalisation, every things changes and evolving in order to “survive”. And as time passes, constructions industry is still left behind due to the mindset as mentioned above. Bring the computer technology is the approach towards creating and enhancing the industry to a new platform. The question will arise to what extend will the industry uses the technology? Thinking of what to come and to expect of the industry in the near future, the most intruding word is e-construction. Over the years, all sort of “e” or electronic phases had been spreading around to introduce the new technology of electronic based application. We are quite familiar with the phases e-banking as it is practised in the financial businesses. How about e-construction? Being in one of “the citizen” in the constructions industry’s community, the idea of understanding more and gain view of knowledge about e-constructions was the first initiatives in developing the research. Along the way, the author try to focus on the area which e-construction have strong base of development, the author directed the study to the main player of the industry- Local Authorities. Regardless to the still new and young on information upon the topic, the dissertation intended to reveal the current scenarios of e-construction implementation in the local authorities. Giving information based on the author direction in seeing findings on the effectiveness of ICT application, the research came up with the result of ICT application on their daily tasks in Local Authority and view the planning and steps taking towards the vision of computerisation era

Romuald Węgłowski (1876-1935) – Orthopaedic Surgeon, Forgotten Pioneer of Limb Saving Tumour Surgery
No full text
On May 16, 1914, The Lancet Journal published a paper by Romuald Węgłowski, a Polish-born professor of Moscow University, entitled „Malignant tumours of bones: a new method in conservative operative treatment.” The idea of biological resection presented in the paper consisted in thermocoagulation of the apparently cancerous part of a bone with a jet of steam. According to the author, dead bone rid of live malignant cells reconstructed itself quickly, which helped to preserve the functionality of the organ without considerable limitations. The events of the First World War, political changes in tsarist Russia and the recovery of independence by Poland greatly complicated Węgłowski’s professional career. We thought it would be interesting to present the life story of the great Polish surgeon in the context of his own method of bone cancer treatment, which without doubt marked the beginning of Polish orthopaedic oncology aimed at limb-saving surgery.

Theoretical simulations can address several properties of organometallic nanoparticles: the morphology of the metal core, the surface composition under realistic thermodynamic conditions, the relationship between adsorption energies and predictive descriptors of reactivity. It is in such context that an integrated package has been developed or adapted in our group: (i) one tool aims at building a wide variety of the typical shapes exhibited by nanoparticles. Using Reverse Monte Carlo modeling, a given shape can be optimized in order to fit pair distribution function data obtained from X-ray diffraction measurements; (ii) trends in density functional theory (DFT) adsorption energies of surface species can be rationalized and predicted by making use of simple descriptors. This is why we have proposed an extension of the d-band center model, that leads to the formulation of a generalized ligand-field theory. A comparison between cobalt and ruthenium is proposed in the case of a 55-atoms nanocluster. The accuracy of the generalized coordination number [ Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 2014, 53, 8316], a very simple coordination-activity criterion, is also assessed; (iii) the builder package is completed by the steric-driven grafting of ligands on the surface of metal NPs. It easily generates structures with adjustable surface composition values and coordination modes; (iv) after a local optimization at the DFT level of theory, DFT energies and normal modes of vibration can feed a general tool based on the ab initio thermodynamics method. This method aims at easily calculating an optimal surface composition under realistic temperature and pressure conditions. In addition to that, we also show to what extent knowledge of the density of states (DOS) and of the crystal overlap Hamilton population (COHP), both projected from a plane-wave basis set to a local basis set, sheds light on metal core-ligand chemical bonding

Tema con variazioni by Romuald Twardowski — a contribution to the history of organ music in the Polish People’s Republic
No full textThis paper discusses Tema con variazioni by Romuald Twardowski, composed in 1981, which deserves special attention as an example of breaking with the main stream of organ music of the era. Polish organ music history has largely remained unexamined, mainly due to the shortage of sources — handwritten pieces have either been destroyed or hard to find, whereas the number of printed works is quite small. More organ pieces appeared at the end of the 19th century, thanks to Stefan and Mieczysław Surzyński. The interwar period did not bring significant interest in or-gan music — the major composers were Feliks Nowowiejski and Aleksander Karczyński living in America; the only younger composer of achievement was Kazimierz Jurdziński. A quite large number of important organ works appeared during the Nazi occupation. The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part the author discusses the condition and typical features of organ music in the years of the Polish People’s Republic, i.e. after the 2nd World War, when professional organ music was separated from its natural background, i.e. performance in the church. As a symptomatic example Zbiór preludiów na organy bez pedału by Feliks Rączkowski is indicated — one of the only two books published then containing church cere-mony organ music. The article also provides information on R. Twardowski — a leading Polish composer of the 2nd half of the 20th century, born in 1930 in Wilno, with critical attitude towards the avant-garde trends. The main part of the paper deals with Tema con variazioni. After the presentation of its sec-tions, devices used by the composer are discussed. Special attention is paid to the harmony deriving from the late-Romantic tradition. Finally, the author tries the “economical” approach to the organ concert repertoire and under-lines the advantages of the piece which, although short and simple, deserves attention
MUZIKA I PATNJA: PRIMER PASIJE IZ ŠKOFJE LOKE. PASIJA IZ ŠKOFJE LOKE U SAVREMENOM MEĐURELIGIJSKOM KONTEKSTU
No full textThe rudimentary beginnings of the Škofja Loka Passion Play (ŠLPP) can be found in Slovene Lenten songs. Each year’s procession of the ŠLPP, was seen on Good Friday or at the end of the time of fasting within the frame of the church calendar. The repertoire of Slovene folk and art songs is very rich, therefore it is not strange that the author, Father Romuald Štandreški,, a Capuchin, (1715–1721) was to be the author of the ŠLPP who would be familiar to the Slovene folk songs.Nastanak Pasije iz Škofje Loke vezuje se za pesme koje su se pevale tokom velikog posta. Svake godine procesija prilikom izvođenja Pasije iz Škofje Loke odvijala na Veliki petak ili na kraju uskršnjeg posta. Repertoar slovenačkih narodnih i umetničkih pesama koje su se pevale za vreme velikog posta bio je veoma raznovrstan, ali je moguće da ih autor Pasije iz Škofje Loke, kapucinski monah otac Romuald Marušič (1715–1721) rodom iz Sant Andrea (Goricija, Italija), nije poznavao.
Methodology and applications of high resolution solid-state NMR to structure determination of proteins
No full textThesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Chemistry, 2008.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Vita.Includes bibliographical references.A number of methodological developments and applications of solid-state NMR for assignment and high resolution structure determination of microcrystalline proteins and amyloid fibrils are presented. Magic angle spinning spectroscopy on uniformly and selectively "C and '5N labeled samples is performed at magnetic fields from 11.7 to 21.1 T and spinning frequencies from 9 to 65 kHz.Dynamic Nuclear Polarization on nanocrystals of amyloidogenic peptide GNNQQNY is presented demonstrating that 'H-'H spin diffusion can efficiently transfer the enhanced polarization across the solute that is not in an intimate contact with the polarizing agent.An improved theoretical treatment of Rotational Resonance Width (R2W) experiments and its application to determination of precise 13C-13C distance is presented. A general theory of second averaging in modulation frame for designing solid-state NMR experiments is introduced and discussed in the context of two methods: Cosine Modulated Rotary Resonance (CMpRR) for performing a broadband double-quantum 13C-13C recoupling without the need for additional 'H decoupling and Cosine Modulated recoupling with Chemical Shift reintroduction (COMICS) that provides a general frequency selective method for measuring precise 13C-13C distances in uniformly labeled solids. Cosine Modulated Adiabatic Recoupling (CMAR) - an adiabatic extension of the CMpRR, that is particularly robust with respect to rf inhomogeneity, is also introduced. A number of applications CMpRR at 21.1 T to proteins with varying degrees of macroscopic order are presented. A second order Third Spin Assisted Recoupling (TSAR) mechanism is introduced and discussed in detail. The heteronuclear TSAR - Proton Assisted Insensitive Nuclei Cross-Polarization (PAIN-CP) and homonuclear Proton Assisted Recoupling (PAR) yield long distance 13C_1-N, 3C-_13C and 15N- 5N restraints in uniformly labeled systems with spinning frequencies up to 65 kHz that are used for protein structure calculation. Structure, dynamics and polymorphism of amyloidogenic peptide GNNQQNY from the yeast protein sup35p are investigated. Finally, PAIN-CP and '3C-13C PAR are used for high resolution de novo structure determination of 10.4 kDa Crh protein dimer.by Józef Romuald Lewandowski.Ph.D
