AIM OF THE STUDY In Poland testicular tumours are the most frequent cancer among men aged 20-44 years. Testicular tumour incidence since the 1980s and 1990s has been diversified geographically, with an increased risk of mortality in Wielkopolska Province, which was highlighted at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s. The aim of the study was the comparative analysis of the tendencies in incidence an...

The Poland-Scheraga (PS) Model is one of the most celebrated applications of statistical physics to biology. By relying on basic laws of statistical phase transitions the PS model describes the denaturation of DNA strands as a function of temperature according to a minimal set of assumptions. The basic model makes the prediction of a second-order phase transition in the order parameter of the s...

The perpetuation of life on planet Earth is presently threatened by innumerable pressures derived from human activities. As we strive to predict and control the damages humans continue to inflict upon the Earth, a key factor that will prove immeasurably valuable is knowledge about the various forms of life, including where and how they live. The word “science” is derived from the Latin verb “sc...
