AIM The study aimed at providing the psychometric properties of Polish version of Peters et al. Delusion Inventory (PPDI) (1999) and assessing the prevalence of delusion-like experiences among healthy subjects in the Polish population. METHODS Polish version of PDI was developed on the basis of back translation procedure. The scale was completed by 421 adult subjects. On the basis of the scor...

The aim of this paper is to compare clitic climbing (CC) in Polish and Romance and then provide an HPSG account of CC in Polish. We discuss CC in the complementizerless verbal complexes, which we call verb clusters (VC). Both the behaviour of Polish clitics and properties of VC are different in Polish and Romance. Although we apply (‘standard’ for HPSG) lexical encoding to account for CC, our a...

MRI magnets generates strong and uniform magnetic fields within the field of wiev, but spatial field gradients are present outside this central region, and as consequence people moving within magnet room experience time-varying magnetic field inducing electric fields and currents in tissues. Aim of this study is the assessment, through direct static field measurements and model based calculatio...

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...

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...

plWordNet, the wordnet of Polish, has become a very comprehensive description of the Polish lexical system. This paper presents a plan of its semi-automated integration with thesauri, terminological databases and ontologies, as a further necessary step in its development. This will improve linking of plWordNet into Linked Open Data, and facilitate applications in, e.g., WSD, keyword extraction ...

LetG be a Polish group, τ a Polish topology on a spaceX, G acting continuously on (X, τ), with B ⊂ X G-invariant and in the Borel algebra generated by τ . Then there is a larger Polish topology τ ⊃ τ on X so that B is open with respect to τ, G still acts continuously on (X, τ), and τ has a basis consisting of sets that are of the same Borel rank as B relative to τ . 1
