Seals of Bishop Henryk of Wierzbna (1301–1319)
Did Bishop Henryk of Wierzbna use his seals only for legal and political purposes? Establishing this is the purpose of the article. For this purpose, the extant seals were analysed for the sealed image and legend. When analysing Bishop Henryk’s seals, we

Annular Seals of High Energy Centrifugal Pumps: Presentation of Full Scale Measurement [PDF]
Prediction of rotordynamic behavior for high energy concentration centrifugal pumps is a challenging task which still imposes considerable difficulties. While the mechanical modeling of the rotor is solved most satisfactorily by finite element techniques,

Summing the strokes: energy economy in northern elephant seals during large-scale foraging migrations. [PDF]
BackgroundThe energy requirements of free-ranging marine mammals are challenging to measure due to cryptic and far-ranging feeding habits, but are important to quantify given the potential impacts of high-level predators on ecosystems.
