W artykule tym omówiona została struktura i uzbrojenie konnego oddziału zacieżnego dowodzonego przez hetmana polnego koronnego Mikołaja Sieniawskiego (1489–1569). Praca ta powstała w oparciu o rejestr 200-konnej roty spisany 3 sierpnia 1557 r. pod Terembowlą. Pod względem posiadanego uzbrojenia można wyróżnić trzy kategorie żołnierzy: husarzy, kopijników kozaków. Najliczniej reprezentowana była...

Abstract Stepovers have been widely suggested to be important structural boundaries that control earthquake rupture extent and therefore the size of earthquakes. Previous studies ~4-5 km wide stepovers are likely arrest fault rupture. However, recent cases show even much wider (e.g., ≥7-8 wide) sometimes may not effectively impede seismic propagation, which requires us further explore cascading...

Abstract The use of ‘cut-and-carry’ (the mechanical harvesting and feeding fresh grass) has increased in some temperate regions recent years evidence suggests that sward management practices this system differ to conventional grazing. In order investigate further, a 2 × 3 factorial experiment was used examine the effect low (1489 kg dry matter (DM)/ha; LHM) high (2142 DM/ha; HHM) pre-cutting he...

We analyse the impact of recent solar and atmospheric data in the determination of the neutrino oscillation parameters, taking into account that both the solar νe and the atmospheric νμ may convert to a mixture of active and sterile neutrinos. In addition to the recent SNO neutral current (NC), spectral and day/night data we add the latest 1496day solar and 1489-day atmospheric Super-K neutrino...

The Mer des hystoires is a universal chronicle printed in Paris 1488 (1st tome) and 1489 (2nd by Pierre Le Rouge for the publisher Vincent Commin. In spite of being known as one most beautiful French incunabula its lavish illustrations, this book still remains neglected. Our contribution focussed on comparison between woodcuts Mdh Rudimentum noviciorum, Lübeck 14751.

Spectral properties of sign symmetric matrices are studied. A criterion for sign symmetry of shifted basic circulant permutation matrices is proven, and is then used to answer the question which complex numbers can serve as eigenvalues of sign symmetric 3 × 3 matrices. The results are applied in the discussion of the eigenvalues of QM -matrices. In particular, it is shown that for every positiv...

We consider classes of models related to those introduced by Lehmann in 1953 and Sklar in 1959. Recently developed algorithms for finding profile NP likelihood procedures are discussed, extended and implemented for such models by combining them with the MM algorithm. In particular we consider statistical procedures for a regression model with proportional expected hazard rates, and for transfor...

Gravity models are widely used to explain patterns of trade. However, two stylized features of trade data, sample selection and heteroskedasticity, challenge the estimation of gravity models. We propose a Two-Step Method of Moments (TS-MM) estimator that deals with both issues. The Monte-Carlo experiments show that the TS-MM estimates are resistant to various combinations of sample selection an...
