Abstract

Władysław Kunicki-Goldfinger devoted his professional career to studying the smallest organisms. Yet while scrutinizing the world under the microscope, he maintained extremely broad perspectives about the world at large. Of himself he used to say modestly: "I am a so-called scientist".

Abstract

A pioneering research project on Polish Sign Language (PJM) aims to thoroughly study this language's grammar and to develop a dictionary for it, so as to make the world of deaf individuals who use PJM more accessible. Such research is also helping us garner a better understanding of the most elementary mechanisms of the human language faculty.

Abstract

Nanotechnology is now rising to the fore of the most rapidly-developing fields of research. Nanomaterials frequently manifest new properties that differ from those characteristic for the morphology of bulk solids. Moreover, nanomaterials demonstrate certain micro-scale phenomena that are unknown for microcrystal objects.

Abstract

In this modern era of fast-paced economic changes, it is extremely important to evaluate what condition companies are in, i.e. to what extent they are exposed to the risk of bankruptcy. Based on a study of 500 companies in Poland, the Institute of Economics has developed a precise tool for estimating both the bankruptcy danger faced by companies, and their developmental potential.

Abstract

Knowing the full sequence of the chicken genome will not only help us to breed more productive and healthier birds and to keep avian-borne diseases, such as bird flu, under control. By comparing the human and chicken genomes, we will also gain a better understanding of our own biology.
