Let's take math to heart. Entropy in cardiac research

ECG
More than 11 million new cases of cardiovascular disease are reported annually in Europe. Also in Poland, these diseases constitute a large social problem and are the greatest threat to the health of the inhabitants of our country. One of the basic diagnostic tools in cardiology is an ECG - a non-invasive test that shows the bioelectric activity of the heart. It is the ECG records that provide valuable data for scientists from Gdańsk University of Technology who want to use sophisticated mathematics to assist cardiologists in even more effective diagnostics.

The ECG records of a healthy person and a sick person look different. It is, of course, the doctor's job to spot these, sometimes quite subtle, differences. However, the electrocardiogram provides a great deal of data. Some of them are not analyzed as part of standard medical procedures because more advanced methods are needed for their characterization. This is where mathematics comes in handy, and more precisely - the theory of chaos and the theory of dynamical systems.

PESEL Number

What is the Polish Identification Number number (PESEL)?

The PESEL number is an eleven-digit numeric symbol that allows for easy identification of its holder. The PESEL number includes the date of birth, serial number, gender and a control number. Every Polish citizen has it.

Cosmetics based on carrot pomace extracts. This is how biomass can be used

Hay on the field
Natural cosmetics based on carrot pomace extracts or bioplastics from potato leftovers - such can be the use of biomass, so far considered useless waste. This is the result of the research carried out under the project BioBIGG: Bioeconomics in the South Baltic Area: Innovations based on the use of biomass and the development of green areas.

Gdańsk University of Technology was one of the participants in the project. The project manager on behalf of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology was prof. Dariusz Mikielewicz from the Institute of Energy, vice-rector for development and organization.

PhD Hanna Obracht-Prondzyńska
A graduate of the Faculty of Architecture of Gdańsk University of Technology, Hanna Obracht-Prondzyńska, PhD won a competition under the patronage of the National Spatial Development Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences for the best doctoral thesis in the field of spatial management.

The National Spatial Development Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences announced the settlement of the competition for the best doctoral dissertations in the field of spatial management. Two equal main prizes were awarded, one for the third place and two honorable mentions.

Einsteinium IDUB

Europium Short-Term Incoming Visits is a programme which fulfils the tasks of IDUB (the Polish acronym for The Excellence Initiative – Research University) when it comes to increasing the quality of research activities at the university as part of Action IV.2. (Construction and development of international research teams at Gdańsk University of Technology).

Erasmus+

Types of trips

As part of the Erasmus + program, employees of foreign universities can come to Gdańsk Tech:
1. to participate in training
2. in order to conduct didactic classes
3. to participate in training and teaching (mixed mobility)

Students are sending a balloon into ... the stratosphere to study "mysterious" bacteria.

A baloon in the sky
The stratospheric experiment by the SimLE research club, operating at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology and by the Gdańsk Tech Biotechnology Students Club, is getting closer to the final in the REXUS/BEXUS program (Rocket/Balloon Experiments for University Students). Recently, the students have successfully undergone the EAR (Experiment Acceptance Review), and in less than a week the experiment will be sent to Sweden.

The SimLE Research Club and the Gdańsk Tech Biotechnology Students Club jointly carry out the Stardust project, i.e. the missions of stratospheric balloons. The aim of this latest project is to study microorganisms in the stratosphere that have not been described yet. These microorganisms can be used in industry in the future, e.g. in pharmaceuticals.
