Two Complementary Approaches toward Geodetic Monitoring of a Historic Wooden Church to Inspect Its Static and Dynamic Behavior.

To support the conservation efforts regarding a wooden church in Domachowo, extensive research and design work was required to strengthen its weakened structure. A variety of data and analyses are necessary to make an accurate assessment, including obtaining a dimensional model, monitoring the behavior of the structure and its response to external forces, and also performing strength analyses and verifying them with measurement data. For accurate geometric evaluation, static and dynamic measurements were required.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy in patients with diabetes mellitus - treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins: A systematic review.

Background: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare disease, but it is one of the most common inflammatory neuropathies in the population. It is particularly common among patients with diabetes mellitus. This raises many problems, both with the differential diagnosis of diabetic and inflammatory neuropathy, as well as the choice of treatment.

Identification of the Fractional Zener Model Parameters for a Viscoelastic Material over a Wide Range of Frequencies and Temperatures.

The paper presents an analysis of the rheological properties of a selected viscoelastic material, which is dedicated to the reduction of vibrations in structures subjected to dynamic loads. A four-parameter, fractional Zener model was used to describe the dynamic behavior of the tested material. The model parameters were identified on the basis of laboratory tests performed at different temperatures and for different vibration frequencies.

Identification of Fungi Isolated from Oral Cavity of Patients with HIV Using MALDI-TOF MS.

Background: A growing incidence of invasive fungal infections, especially among immunocompromised patients, has given increased significance to microbiological diagnostics of yeast-like fungi. More accurate and faster fungi identification methods that can compete with classical methods are being searched for. In this paper, classical microbiological methods are compared to MALDI-TOF MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry).
