We present methods and procedures designed for cost-efficient adaptation of an existing speech recognition system to Polish. The system (originally built for Czech language) is adapted using common texts and speech recordings accessible from Polish web-pages. The most critical part, an acoustic model (AM) for Polish, is built in several steps, which include: a) an initial bootstrapping phase th...

An NPN-based temperature sensor with digital output transistors has been realized in a 65-nm CMOS process. It achieves a batch-calibrated inaccuracy of ±0.5 C (3σ) and a trimmed inaccuracy of ±0.2 C (3σ) over the temperature range from −70 C to 125 C. This performance is obtained by the use of NPN transistors as sensing elements, the use of dynamic techniques, i.e. correlated double sampling an...

We consider the equivalence relation of isometry of separable, complete metric spaces, and show that any equivalence relation induced by a Borel action of a Polish group on a Polish space is Borel reducible to this isometry relation. We also consider the isometry relation restricted to various classes of metric spaces, and produce lower bounds for the complexity in terms of the Borel reducibili...

There have been important changes in the United Kingdom’s (UK) fertility and immigration in the past decade, with a large share contributed by migrants from Poland. A detailed understanding of Polish migrant fertility is lacking, however, because the relevant data are not routinely collected. This paper provides new insights into the fertility patterns of Polish migrants in the UK, and compares...

Over three thousand specimens representing the superfamily Trochoidea Rafinesque, 1815 [Trochidae and Calliostomatidae Thiele, 1924 (1847)] from upper Upper Badenian = Kosovian lower Serravallian (middle Miocene) marine deposits of Ukraine, housed in collections Polish Academy Sciences Museum Earth Warsaw (MZ), are studied herein. The abundant material has allowed for investigations intraspecif...

The aim of this paper is to present recent and ongoing work on adorning the IPI PAN Corpus of Polish (Przepiórkowski 2004, 2006a) with partial syntactic annotation, with the ultimate aim of building a treebank of Polish. The work described here is a part of the project Automatic extraction of linguistic knowledge from a large corpus of Polish (a Ministry of Education and Science grant number 3T...
