Much progress has been made in the research of synchronization for chaotic real or complex nonlinear systems. In this paper we introduce a new type of synchronization which can be studied only for chaotic complex nonlinear systems. This type of synchronization may be called complex lag synchronization (CLS). A definition of CLS is introduced and investigated for two identical chaotic complex nonlinear systems. Based on Lyapunov function a scheme is designed to achieve CLS of chaotic attractors of these systems. The effectiveness of the obtained results is illustrated by a simulation example. Numerical results are plotted to show state variables, modulus errors and phase errors of these chaotic attractors after synchronization to prove that CLS is achieved.
The complexes of poly(ethyl methacrylate-co-N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (P(EMA-co-VP)) gel with poly- (ethylene glycol) (PEG) stabilized by the hydrogen bonds were prepared. It was found that both the concentration and the molecular weight of PEG have a strong effect on the P(EMA-co-VP) gel. When PEG was introduced into the P(EMA-co-VP) gel, the glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the complexes decreases with the decreasing of PEG molecular weight. In such a system, the maximum molecular weight of PEG required for the complex formation is no more than 2000, and P(EMA-co-VP)/PEG complexes are a homogeneous amorphous phase, which was studied by FTIR, XRD, TEM, and DSC.
The charge-transfer complexation reaction between iodine and dibenzopridino-18-crown-6 (DBPY18C6) has been investigated spectrophotomertically in chloroform solution at different temperatures. The resulting comlex was formulated as (DBPY18C6...I(+))I(-/3).The enthalpy and entropy of the complex formation were evaluated from the temperature dependence of the formation constant. The resulting charge-transfer complex is both enthalpy and entropy stabilized. The rate constants at various temperatures and the activation parameters were evaluated.
The Czech concept of betrayal as an element of the Munich mythThis article explores the cultural significance of the “Munich myth”, focusing on the concept of “Western betrayal” and its connotations associated with the idea of destiny and sacrifice. It also examines how the myth influenced the formation of Czech national identity, especially during and shortly after the Second World War. Opening with an analysis of a poem by František Halas written in the midst of the Munich Conference, it also reviews a number of writings which increased the popularity of the ideas of betrayal and sacrifice and, as a result, have made them synonymous with the “Czech fate”: excerpts from the memoirs of Zdeněk Štĕpánek and Edvard Beneš, essays by Karel Kosík and Milan Kundera, and Bedřich Fučík’s literary criticism. The article concludes with a discussion of the key findings of the book Mnichovský komplex (The Munich Complex) by Jan Tesař, a polemic study discrediting and deconstructing the myth of the “Munich betrayal”. Czeska koncepcja zdrady jako element mitu monachijskiegoArtykuł dotyczy fenomenów kulturowych zawartych w micie monachijskim, szczególnie takich, jak koncepcja zdrady i powiązane z nią konotacje (figura ofiary, losu, teatralizacja życia społecznego). Przedstawia także proces formowania się wojennej oraz powojennej czeskiej tożsamości narodowej pod wpływem tego mitu. W artykule poddano analizie wiersze Františka Halasa z okresu wydarzeń monachijskich, a także te fragmenty wspomnień (Zdenĕk Štĕpánek, Edvard Beneš), eseistyki (Karel Kosík, Milan Kundera) i krytyki literackiej (Bedřich Fučík), które przyczyniły się do rozpowszechnienia koncepcji zdrady i ofiary jako czynnika konstytuującego „czeski los”. Artykuł kończy prezentacja najważniejszych tez zawartych w książce pt. Monachijski kompleks autorstwa Jana Tesařa o charakterze polemicznym i dekonstrukcyjnym wobec mitu „zdrady monachijskiej”.
The paper is devoted to the control of operability of Peltier modules based on the analysis of transient modes of their operation. Advantages of using low-power thermoelectric modules for the development of thermoelectric plants with adaptive control systems for the needs of the agricultural complex, which significantly reduce their cost characteristics, are shown. The problem of using the stationary mode of their operation, associated with the low efficiency of the modules, as well as the dynamic mode, associated with the presence of transient processes, is indicated. It is noted that overcoming this problem requires solution of the task of automation of reliability providing the well-known approaches to its solution are shown, for which the key advantages and disadvantages are given. An approach is proposed to complex control of the operability and quality of thermoelectric modules during their expluatation in three components of the physical process of thermoelectric conversion (Peltier thermoelectric effect, electrical and thermal transfer phenomena) by analyzing transients in the system based on identification algorithms. To justify it, the necessary equations and mathematical relations are given. Aprobating of the proposed approach was carried out experimentally by determining the time constants for operable and defective commercially available modules and showed its significant advantages over the standard verification procedure.
The complex formation of Cu2+ with some recently synthesized methyl-substituted ethylenediimines in binary dimethylformamide-ethanol mixtures was studied by differential pulse voltammetry. The stoichiometry and the stability of the complexes were determined by monitoring the increasing complex peak current against the ligand concentration using nonlinear least squares-Excel solver. In all studied cases, it was found that the stability of the resulting 1:1 complex decreases by increasing the amount of ethanol in the binary mixtures. The observed stability order is discussed in terms of the solvent binary mixtures and the nature of the substituted ethylenediimine structure.
The study presents the analysis of representative images in Stanisław Piętak’s writing. The methodology is based on Gaston Bachelard’s psychoanalysis of fundamental material elements of poetic imagination. The first part of article reminds main theses of French philosopher’s conception, formed by ancient Greek philosophy and modified ideas of Freud and Jung. The next parts of the text concern three sets of literary motifs and images characteristic of Piętak. The analysis included: a great complex: water – woman – moon – mirror – death; selected descriptions of sky, flight and birds; a few poetic visions of home. The research leads to the conclusion that discussed creations correlate with Bachelard’s theory and proves that Piętak’s poetic imagination was dominated by archetypal material imaginations, connected with three of the four Empedocles’ classical elements: water, air and earth.

W artykule dokonano analizy obrazów literackich reprezentatywnych dla twórczości Stanisława Piętaka, opierając się na psychoanalitycznej koncepcji wyobraźni poetyckiej Gastona Bachelarda, nawiązującej do koncepcji czterech żywiołów. Pierwsza część pracy stanowi przypomnienie głównych tez francuskiego uczonego, ukształtowanych przez filozofię starożytnej Grecji oraz zmodyfikowane idee Freuda i Junga. Kolejne partie tekstu dotyczą trzech układów motywów i obrazów literackich charakterystycznych dla Piętaka. Analizie poddano egzemplifikację wielkiego zespołu obrazowego: woda – kobieta – księżyc – lustro – śmierć, a także wybrane opisy nieba, lotu i ptaków oraz niektóre poetyckie wizje rodzinnego domu. Badania prowadzą do konkluzji na temat związku między omawianymi kreacjami literackimi a teorią Bachelarda, dowodząc, iż poetycką wyobraźnię Piętaka zdominowały archetypowe obrazy, powiązane z trzema z czterech Empedoklesowych żywiołów: wodą, powietrzem i ziemią.
Octahedral [Cu(2-benzoylpyridine)2 (H20)2] complexes in the Cu(2-Bzpy)2-(NO3)2 .2H2O are very dynamical and Cu(II) ions are very weakly coupled as it is shown by the single crystal EPR measurements in the temperature range 4.2-300 K. Rigid lattice limit (9 K) of spin-Hamiltonian parameters are: gx = 2.137, gy = 2.014, gz = 2.306 as determined by decoupling of exchange merged EPR lines. The ground state is predominantly Ix(2) -y(2)) with 8% of the Iz(2)) state. This mixing is produced by zero-point motions in the ground vibrational state and results in g x > gy with strong lowering of the gy-value. The decoupling procedure gave superexchange coupling parameter J = 0.0040 cm(1), which unexpectedly is temperature independent in contrast to other weakly coupled Cu(II) paramagnets. The g-factors show relatively strong temperature variations with gy practically not affected by temperature and a tendency to averaging of the g x and gz with room tem-perature parameters: g x = 2.161, gy = 2.013, gz = 2.285. This is explained as the pseudo Jahn-1eller effect with dynamical transitions between two elongated octahedral axes, i.e. O-Cu-O (x-axis) and H2O-Cu-H2O (z-axis) with N-Cu-N (y-axis) direction ill the in-plane coordination with pyridine nitrogen not affected by vibronic dynamics. The vibronic effect can be described by two-well model in the temperature range 80-150 K only with energy difference between the ground vibronic state in the well being 220 cm-l. At lower temperatures Cu(II) complexes are strongly localized in the deepest potential well, whereas at higher temperatures, the vibronic g-factor averaging is dominated by the other mechanism.
The optimal methodology to prepare the novel modified enzyme, polymer-enzyme complex, was developed to give a high catalytic activity in aqueous solution. The non-covalent complexes of two different enzymes (horseradish peroxidase and glucose oxidase) were prepared with various molar ratios (nD/nE 0,05; 0,1; 1; 5; 10; 15; 20) by using 75kDa dextran. The thermal stabilities of the obtained complexes were evaluated with the activities determined at different temperatures (25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80°C) applying 60 minutes incubation time for pH 7. The complexes with the molar ratio nD/nHRP: 10 and nD/nGOD: 5 showed the highest thermal stability. Its activity was very high (ca. 1,5-fold higher activity than pure enzyme for HRP-dextran complexes) and almost the same between applying one hour incubation time and without incubation, and could also be measured at high temperatures (70, 80 °C). We finally succeeded in preparing dextran-enzyme complexes which showed higher activity than pure enzyme in aqueos solution at all temperatures for pH 7. In addition, the mentioned complexes at pH 7 had very long storage lifetime compared to purified enzyme at +4 °C; which is considered as a good feature for the usage in practice.

Electrochemical studies of the fraras-dichloro-bis (diphenylphosphino) methane rhenium in tetrabutylammonium perchlorate/dichloromethane have been performed using cyclic and convolution potential sweep voltammetry. At room temperature, it was found that the complex isomerises on oxidation from the irons- to the cis-isomer and returns back to the original complex form on reduction at lower potentials. The electrode mechanisms were proposed and discussed on the basis of the "square-scheme". Upon cooling to 233 K, the cyclic voltammetric behaviour shows a single reversible couple in the region expected for the oxidation of trans-[ReC\2 (dppm)2]. Furthermore, the homogeneous and heterogeneous rate constants of the isomerisation reaction were evaluated.
The proposed methodology is worked out for the aims of oil and gas geology and can be used at investigation of terrigenous, terrigenous-carbonate and carbonate sections. It can also be used at prospecting and exploration of coal, ore, diamond deposits and underground water, as well as at the solving the tasks that need the detailed knowledge of the section structure (gas storages, slide dangerous zones etc.). The methodology includes the new methods and techniques of processing and interpretation of geophysical data. It is realized as a programme-methodical complex (PMC) "Seismocyclit" and "AFCM" - amplitude-frequency characteristic of medium, computed according to the noise constituent of wave field. It is based on the theory of sedimentary cyclicity - lithology (the teaching about rock-formations associations) and on the assumption of discompaction and compaction zones existence (the zones of reservoirs and cap rocks development). The uniting of the known geophysical methods and techniques, which were tested by time with the worked out by us techniques of processing and interpretation have led to creation of the new instrument for geological investigations. The advantages of our methodology in comparison with the commonly used methods consist in the possibility of obtaining the new qualitative data as to geological structure of the studied areas, which permit to carry out the forecast of hydrocarbons pools.

W praktyce przyjmuje to postać kompleksu programowo-metodycznego "Seismocyclit" oraz charakterystyki amplitudowo-częstotliwościowej ośrodka "AFCM", obliczonej zgodnie ze składową hałasu pola fal. Podstawą jest teoria sedymentacyjnej cykliczności litologicznej (nauki o związkach skał i formacji) oraz założenie istnienia stref dekompakcji i kompakcji (stref rozwoju zbiornika i nadkładu skalnego). Połączenie znanych metod i technik geofizycznych, które zostały sprawdzone za pomocą opracowanych przez autorów technik przetwarzania i interpretacji doprowadziło do stworzenia nowego instrumentu do badań geologicznych. W porównaniu z innymi, powszechnie stosowanymi metodami, przedstawiona autorska metoda ma zaletę polegającą na możliwości otrzymywania nowych danych jakościowych na temat struktury geologicznej badanych obszarów, umożliwiających wykonanie prognoz dotyczących złóż węglowodorów.

An ion-pair chromatographic (IP-HPLC) method was developed for the selective and sensitive determination of sulfite. The proposed method is based on the pre-column derivatiza-tion of sulfite with iron(III)-l,10-phenathroline complex (Fe(phen)(3+/(3) and direct photometric detection of Fe(phen)(2+)(3) formed. The optimized separations were carried out on a C(18) column using acetonitrile-water (60:40) mobile phase containing 50 mmol L(-1) NaClO4 and 5 mmol L(-1) acetate buffer (pH 5.0) and direct photometric detection at 510 nm. The optimal conditions for the derivatization reaction were established by varying pH, concentration of Fe(phen)(3+)/3 and reaction temperature. Valid calibration (r2 = 0.998) is demonstrated in the range 2 x 10(-6)-5 x 10(-4) mol L(-4) of sulfite. The detection limit (S/N = 3) was 5 x 10(-7) mol L(-1). The proposed system was applied to the determination of free sulfite in wines. The recovery tests established for wine samples were within the range 94-105%. The IP-HPLC results agree with those obtained by iodometric titration technique.

The synthesis and physicochemical properties of three new complexes of vanadium at +5, +4 and +3 oxidation state are described and discussed. The octahedral surrounding of vanadium for V(III) complexes of [V(L1)(HL1)] general formula is filled with two ONO tridentate ligand L, for V(IV) one ONO ligand L, oxido ligand and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) as a co-ligand are presented in complexes of [VO(L2)(phen)]. For V(V) the complexes of [VO2(L1)(solv)] type were formed. As ligands, the H2L Schiff bases were formed in reaction between 5-hydroxysalcylaldehyde and phenylacetic hydrazide (H2L1) and 3,5- dichlorosalicyaldehyde and 4-hydroxybenzhydrazide (L2). The magnetic moment measurements, in 8 year period, show, that V(III) complexes slowly oxidise to V(IV) with preservation of the nonoxido character of the complexes, while V(IV) complexes were found to be stable. The TG and SDTA measurements indicate, that thermal stability depends mainly on the oxidation state of vanadium. The less thermally stable are the V(V) complexes, while V(IV) and V(III) are stable up to ca. 200oC. In solution, at pH 2 (similar to that in human digestion system), again the V(IV) are the most stable, only at pH 7.0 V(III) complexes had higher stability. The most stable, thus best for pharmaceutical use, are V(IV) complexes.
