W artykule przedstawiono próbę odczytania w szkole opowiadania Brunona Schulza Sierpień kontekście innego utworu – e-tekstu Leszka Onaka zatytułowanego Cierniste diody. Autorka postuluje potrzebę wprowadzania literatury najnowszej na lekcje języka polskiego. Pokazuje sposoby oswajania trudnego tekstu i e-literatury. Główny pomysł przedstawionej interpretacji bazuje tym, aby uwidocznić różnicę m...

We obtain an analytic expression for the full distribution of conductance for a strongly disordered threedimensional conductor within a perturbative approach based on transfer-matrix formulation. Our results confirm the numerical evidence that the log-normal limit of the distribution is not reached even in the deeply insulating regime. We show that the variance of the logarithm of the conductan...

Taking into account that a proper description of disordered systems should focus on distribution functions, the authors develop a powerful numerical scheme for the determination of the probability distribution of the local density of states (LDOS), which is based on a Chebyshev expansion with kernel polynomial refinement and allows the study of large finite clusters (up to 100). For the threedi...

The equilibrium structure and dynamics of a single polymer chain in a thermal solvent is by now well-understood in terms of scaling laws. Here, we consider a polymer in a bacterial bath, i.e., in a solvent consisting of active particles which bring in nonequilibrium fluctuations. Using computer simulations of a self-avoiding polymer chain in two dimensions which is exposed to a dilute bath of a...

We report measurements of the inelastic neutron scattering spectrum for the anisotropic intermediate valence system Yb2Rh3Ga9. Calculations for the Anderson impurity model with crystal field terms within an approach based on the non-crossing approximation have been performed for the inelastic neutron scattering spectrum as well as other thermodynamic quantities. These results corroborate the im...

PURPOSE This study evaluated a variety of downhill slopes in an effort to determine the optimal slope for overspeed running. METHODS Thirteen NCAA Division III college athletes who participated in soccer, track, and football ran 40-yd (36.6-m) sprints, on downhill slopes of 2.1 degrees , 3.3 degrees , 4.7 degrees , 5.8 degrees , and 6.9 degrees in random order. All sprints were timed using th...

In the fall of 2006 I joined the Department of Pharmacology, University of Alberta as a PhD graduate student under the supervision of Dr. Richard Schulz. The Schulz lab studies ischemic and inflammatory heart diseases and investigates the role of specific molecules contributing to oxidative stress injury of the heart. Being in the first laboratory to discover that matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)...
