…versity, mentioned as particularly important for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.   “We are striving for the resumption of active international cooperation, as we believe that our wartime experience can prove particularly valuable. The University of Warsaw, which was destroyed during the Second World War, is now an example of an intensely developing institution. We hope that such future also awaits our University in Kharkiv,” Prof. Tetyana…

…imarily to contribute actively to nature conservation. Today, we have opened a teaching and research centre that will also contribute to nature protection. The University must shape the life culture and cooperation,” said Prof. Alojzy Z. Nowak, the Rector of the University of Warsaw, at the opening ceremony of the KUMAK Masurian Center for Biodiversity and Nature Education in Urwitałt. Conservation through education is one of the most important as…

…cs, Informatics and Mechanics, University of Warsaw, will run the Limits of Structural Tractability (BUKA) project. The aim of the project is to combine sparsity theory and twin-width theory into a unified theory of structural tractability. As a result, all tractable classes will be characterised. This requires developing a systematic understanding of the logical structure, which underlies algorithmic tractability. The research team will apply and…

…vanished.   To further investigate the abrupt rebrightening, the researchers engaged partners who contributed observations from more than a dozen other telescopes, including one equipped with a high-speed camera. The team examined earlier data and worked to rule out other possible light sources. Their analysis ultimately confirmed at least fourteen irregular light pulses over a 120-day period, likely only a fraction of the total number.   What pr…

…properties. The Japanese scientist is considered a leading figure in the world of spintronics, the science dedicated to the study of spin-dependent properties of condensed matter and the search for phenomena that can be used to build instruments for the next generation of information and communication technologies.   Prof. Ohno received his doctoral degree from the University of Tokyo in 1982. Between 1982 and 1983, he was a lecturer at the School…
