Effect of Pollution Level on Size Distributions and Mixing State of Ambient Black Carbon Particles in an Urban Area during Wintertime by Kangning Li, XiaoFei Wang, Xiaohui Lu, Hong Chen, Xin Yang

“…Interestingly, the BC particles in the clean air masses contained V more frequently and generated intense mass spectrum signals for Ca+, suggesting that these particles probably arose from heavy machinery emissions near ports. Our real-time single particle data indicates that the sources of BC aerosol can be easily identified by measuring the size distribution and mixing state of the particles.…”

Dyskryminacja dzieci pozamałżeńskich w ustawodawstwie cywilnym w Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej i próby jej przezwyciężenia w projektach kodyfikacyjnych by Leonard Górnicki

“…The author argues that the drafts in Stanisław Gołąb’s original version were more progressive, since at their core was the fundamental equality of rights between children born during marriage and non marital children, while the Subcommittee gave this a more declarative form by assuming that a child born out of wedlock could be equated with a marital child by order of the court (office) of guardianship, issued at the request of the authorized subjects and with the consent of the persons indicated therein. At the same time, the author stresses that the new thoughts expressed in Stanisław Gołąb’s original draft, which constituted an important legislative advance, also found expression in the version passed and still being amended by the Subcommittee, in particular the idea of essentially equating children born out of wedlock with marital children, the care of the court (office) of guardianship and social welfare authorities over children born out of wedlock, as well as the principle of exercising parental rights solely in the interests of the child, including those born out of wedlock. …”
