description: A recently proposed technique is described that provides improved nearside-farside (NF) decompositions of elastic scattering amplitudes. The technique, involving a new resummation formula for Legendre partial wave series, reduces the importance of unphysical contributions to NF subamplitudes, which can appear in more conventional NF decompositions. Applications are made to a strong absorption model that arises in chemical and nuclear physics, as well as to a 16O + 16O optical potential at Elab = 132 MeV.

description: In a structural health monitoring (SHM) system that uses digital cameras to monitor cracks of structural surfaces, techniques for reliable and effective data compression are essential to ensure a stable and energy efficient crack images transmission in wireless devices, e.g., drones and robots with high definition cameras installed. Compressive sensing (CS) is a signal processing technique that allows accurate recovery of a signal from a sampling rate much smaller than the limitation of the Nyquist sampling theorem. The conventional CS method is based on the principle that, through a regularized optimization, the sparsity property of the original signals in some domain can be exploited to get the exact reconstruction with a high probability. However, the strong assumption of the signals being highly sparse in an invertible space is relatively hard for real crack images. In this paper, we present a new approach of CS that replaces the sparsity regularization with a generative model that is able to effectively capture a low dimension representation of targeted images. We develop a recovery framework for automatic crack segmentation of compressed crack images based on this new CS method and demonstrate the remarkable performance of the method taking advantage of the strong capability of generative models to capture the necessary features required in the crack segmentation task even the backgrounds of the generated images are not well reconstructed. The superior performance of our recovery framework is illustrated by comparing with three existing CS algorithms. Furthermore, we show that our framework is extensible to other common problems in automatic crack segmentation, such as defect recovery from motion blurring and occlusion.

SAPD+: An Accelerated Stochastic Method for Nonconvex-Concave Minimax Problems

description: We propose a new stochastic method SAPD+ for solving nonconvex-concave minimax problems of the form $\min\max\mathcal{L}(x,y)=f(x)+Φ(x,y)-g(y)$, where $f,g$ are closed convex and $Φ(x,y)$ is a smooth function that is weakly convex in $x$, (strongly) concave in $y$. Let $δ^2$ denote the variance bound for the unbiased stochastic oracle used within SAPD+ to estimate $\nablaΦ$. When $δ>0$, for both strongly concave and merely concave settings, SAPD+ achieves the best known oracle complexities: $\mathcal{O}\Big(κ_y\max\Big\{1,\frac{δ^2}{ε^2}\Big\}\frac{L\mathcal{G}_0}{ε^{2}}\Big)$ for the strongly concave case without assuming compactness of the problem domain, and $\mathcal{O}\Big(\frac{L^3\mathcal{D}_y^2\mathcal{G}_0}{ε^{4}}\Big(1+\frac{δ^2}{ε^2}\Big)\Big)$ for the merely concave case, where $κ_y\geq 1$ is the condition number, $L$ is the Lipschitz constant of $\nabla Φ$, $\mathcal{G}_0$ is the primal-dual gap of the initial point, and $\mathcal{D}_y=\sup\{\|y\|:\ y\in\mathbf{dom} g\}$. We also propose SAPD+ with variance reduction, which enjoys $\mathcal{O}\Big(\max\Big\{κ_y,\sqrt{\fracδε}\Big\}\cdot (1+κ_y\fracδε)\frac{L\mathcal{G}_0}{ε^2}\Big)$ oracle complexity for weakly convex-strongly concave setting --this is the best known upper complexity bound in the literature for this setting and our paper establishes it for the first time. We demonstrate the efficiency of SAPD+ on a distributionally robust learning problem with a nonconvex regularizer and also on a multi-class classification problem in deep learning.
description: The complexity bound for SAPD+ with variance reduction is corrected in Theorem 4 and the related discussion in Remark 8 is also updated

description: The aim of the article was to present the genesis and the evolution of the European Neighbourhood Policy (EPS) and the assessment of its impact on the development of euroregions located on the external borders of the EU in Poland. The implementation of the aim was based on literature analysis, strategic documents of the EU, desk research and diagnostic survey using a questionnaire addressed to the directors of the secretariats of the euroregions: Bug, Karpacki, Puszcza Białowieska, Niemen. The anticipated effects of the implementation of the EPS with respect to cross-border regions are strengthening of cross-border interactions, improving the quality of life and the development of border infrastructure. In practice, especially in the case of euroregions situated on the eastern border of the EU, social orientation of projects is predominant. Low expenditure on EPS prevents the reduction of asymmetries in access to funding of cooperation on the external side of the border and makes it difficult to undertake joint projects and obtain significant results of cooperation, which contributes to the lack of acceptance of the perception of the border as a development opportunity. /Synopsis. Celem artykułu było przedstawienie genezy i ewolucji Europejskiej Polityki Sąsiedztwa (EPS) oraz oceny jej wpływu na rozwój euroregionów położonych na zewnętrznych granicach UE w Polsce. Realizacji celu służyła analiza literatury przedmiotu, dokumentów strategicznych UE, desk research oraz sondaż diagnostyczny z wykorzystaniem kwestionariusza ankiety skierowanej do dyrektorów sekretariatów euroregionów: Bug, Karpackiego, Puszcza Białowieska i Niemen. Wśród zakładanych przez UE efektów wdrażania EPS w odniesieniu do regionów transgranicznych można wymienić m.in.: wzmocnienie interakcji transgranicznych, poprawę jakości życia mieszkańców czy rozwój infrastruktury granicznej. W praktyce, zwłaszcza w przypadku euroregionów położonych na wschodniej granicy UE, przeważa orientacja społeczna projektów. Niskie nakłady na EPS uniemożliwiają redukcję asymetrii w dostępie do środków finansowania współpracy po zewnętrznej stronie granicy i utrudniają podejmowanie wspólnych projektów i uzyskiwanie znaczących efektów współpracy, co przyczynia się do braku akceptacji pojmowania granicy jako szansy rozwojowej.

description: We extend the study of BPS equations in ${\cal N}=1/2$ super Yang-Mills theory to the case of models with gauge symmetry breaking. We first consider an Abelian gauge-Higgs supersymmetric Lagrangian in $d=4$ dimensional Euclidean space obtained by deforming ${\cal N} = 1$ superspace. The supermultiplets include chiral and vector superfields and its bosonic content coincides with that of the Abelian Higgs model where vortex solutions to the BPS equation are known to exist in the undeformed case. We also consider the $d=3$ dimensional reduction of a non-Abelian $d=4$ deformed model and study its deformed BPS equations, showing the existence of new monopole solutions which depend on the deformation parameter.

Fine mapping of the spatial relationship between acute ischemia and dendritic structure indicates a selective vulnerability of layer V neuronal dendritic tufts within single neurons on vivo
Creators: name: Enright, Lauren
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: We have evaluated the spatial relationship between local blood flow and the structural integrity of layer 5 cortical neurons in YFP-H transgenic mice 2-10 h after stroke. Fortuitously, ischemic zones could be finely mapped with respect to dysmorphic YFP labelled axons and dendrites using histology since texas-red dextran used to measure blood flow in vivo was trapped within fixed ischemic vessels. Ischemic damage to layer 5 neurons located at the border of ischemia was contained within apical tuft dendrites and did not propagate to deeper dendrites despite the potential for diffusion of released cytotoxic factors. Dendritic damage decayed sharply with distance from the edge of ischemia (50% reduction in beaded dendrites within ~100 μm) and increased with time up to 6 h after stroke but not thereafter. Axonal damage also increased with time after the infarct but extended further laterally than dendritic damage, up to 600 μm from the stroke core. Apoptotic and necrotic cell death cascades were activated 6 h after stroke, however, only within 300 μm of the ischemic core. These data suggest that the axonal and dendritic circuitry of neurons located 300 μm outside of an ischemic zone can be relatively free of damage or commitment to cell death pathways suggesting that they may be in an ideal position to contribute to functional recovery. Given that ischemic damage may have a larger effect on circuitry involving superficial dendrites and projecting axons it is conceivable that surviving peri-infarct neurons may have unique structural and functional properties.
Fate of a multiple-band Fermi liquid that is coupled with critical $ϕ^4$ bosons

description: Multiple-band nature of electronic energy bands leads to novel physical effects in solids. In this paper, we clarify physical properties of a Fermi system with a pair of electron and hole Fermi surfaces (FSs), whose coupling is mediated by a critical U(1) boson field. By using a one-loop renormalization group analysis, we show that when the boson field undergoes a quantum phase transition with broken U(1) symmetry, the multiple-band Fermi system shows a non-Fermi liquid (non-FL) behaviour in its thermodynamic and magnetic properties. At a quantum critical point (QCP), Fermi velocities of the two FSs are renormalized into a same critical velocity as a boson velocity, and the fermion's density of states (DOS) shows a pseudo-gap behaviour with a logarithmic energy dependence at the QCP.

description: We prove concentration inequalities and associated PAC bounds for continuous- and discrete-time additive functionals for possibly unbounded functions of multivariate, nonreversible diffusion processes. Our analysis relies on an approach via the Poisson equation allowing us to consider a very broad class of subexponentially ergodic processes. These results add to existing concentration inequalities for additive functionals of diffusion processes which have so far been only available for either bounded functions or for unbounded functions of processes from a significantly smaller class. We demonstrate the power of these exponential inequalities by two examples of very different areas. Considering a possibly high-dimensional parametric nonlinear drift model under sparsity constraints, we apply the continuous-time concentration results to validate the restricted eigenvalue condition for Lasso estimation, which is fundamental for the derivation of oracle inequalities. The results for discrete additive functionals are used to investigate the unadjusted Langevin MCMC algorithm for sampling of moderately heavy-tailed densities $π$. In particular, we provide PAC bounds for the sample Monte Carlo estimator of integrals $π(f)$ for polynomially growing functions $f$ that quantify sufficient sample and step sizes for approximation within a prescribed margin with high probability.

description: The paper presents issues related to the ecological safety of the country with regard to legal documents aimed at the improvement of ecological conditions. The author, based on empirical research conducted in the dairy enterprises, presented which methods are carried out for environmental protection in this industry. Production enterprises, by implementing water and sewage waste management and atmosphere protection, do so mainly for reasons of legislation, but also because there are abilities to increase production capacity and increase operating efficiency. The enterprises economize water and reduce the amount of waste water, wastes and pollutions emitted into the atmosphere. In this way the companies improve the environmental performance of the production process, as well as have a positive impact on their economic situation and the ecological security of the country. / Synopsis. W pracy zaprezentowano zagadnienia związane z bezpieczeństwem ekologicznym państwa, z uwzględnieniem dokumentów prawnych mających przyczynić się do poprawy takiego stanu. Głównym celem opracowania jest zaprezentowanie działań związanych z ochroną środowiska prowadzonych w przedsiębiorstwach mleczarskich, które wpływają na zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa ekologicznego kraju. Autorka na podstawie badań empirycznych prowadzonych w przedsiębiorstwach mleczarskich przedstawiła, jakimi metodami jest prowadzona ochrona środowiska w tej branży. Zakłady produkcyjne wdrażając gospodarkę wodno-ściekową, gospodarkę odpadami oraz działania mające na celu ochronę atmosfery czynią to głównie ze względów legislacyjnych, ale także z powodu możliwości zwiększenia wydajności produkcji i wzrostu efektywności działania. Oszczędzając wodę oraz minimalizując ilość ścieków, odpadów oraz zanieczyszczeń emitowanych do atmosfery, przedsiębiorstwa poprawiają parametry środowiskowe procesu produkcji, a także pozytywnie wpływają na swoją sytuację ekonomiczną oraz bezpieczeństwo ekologiczne kraju.

description: The importance of biodiversity for agriculture is huge, among others, due to the productivity of agricultural land and crops stability. Agriculture can have positive or negative impact on ensuring biodiversity. The decisive factor is the state, which through mechanisms may promote agricultural supply of public goods, including biodiversity. One of the instruments of state influence on agriculture is the "greening" of the CAP. The aim of the article is an attempt to assess the importance of this instrument for ensuring biodiversity. It is estimated that the impact will be uneven due to the large diversity of agriculture in the EU. The result will be dependent on the decision of farmers due to the high flexibility of the requirements. The negative impact on biodiversity of the greening is also possible in countries exporting food to the EU. / Synopsis. Rolnictwo dostarcza społeczeństwu zarówno dóbr wycenianych przez rynek (produkcja żywności) jak i dóbr publicznych, które nie są wycenione w rachunku ekonomicznym rolnictwa. Przykładem takich dóbr jest zachowanie bioróżnorodności, krajobrazu rolniczego, bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego. Aby rolnictwo dostarczało wyżej wymienionych dóbr publicznych oraz społecznych niezbędne wydaje się oddziaływanie państwa. Konieczność ingerencji państwa w tym zakresie należy łączyć z zawodnością rynku oraz z prywatnością czynników produkcji. Sposób gospodarowania tymi czynnikami (wodą, ziemią) jest uzależniony od rolnika, który zazwyczaj kieruje się uzyskaniem maksymalnego zysku z posiadanych zasobów. Aby zminimalizować krótkowzroczne podejście do produkcji rolniczej, wprowadzono szereg ograniczeń dotyczących praktyk rolniczych w tym służących zapewnieniu bioróżnorodności. Celem artykułu jest próba określenia wpływu mechanizmu "zazielenienia" na zapewnienie różnorodności biologicznej.

As applications, we show that 1. if a $\mathbb{Z}^2$-system with positive directional measure-theoretic entropy then it is multivariant directional mean Li-Yorke chaotic along the corresponding direction; 2. for any ergodic measure on a $\mathbb{Z}^2$-system, the intersection of the set of directional measure-theoretic entropy tuples with the set of directional asymptotic tuples is dense in the set of directional measure-theoretic entropy tuples.

description: We report the growth of noncollinear antiferromagnetic (AFM) Mn$_3$Ni$_{0.35}$Cu$_{0.65}$N films and the orientation-dependent anomalous Hall effect (AHE) of (001) and (111) films due to nonzero Berry curvature. We found that post-annealing at 500$^\circ$C can significantly improve the AHE signals, though using the appropriate post-annealing conditions is important. The AHE and magnetization loops show sharp flipping at the coercive field in (111) films, while (001) films are hard to saturate by a magnetic field. The anomalous Hall conductivity of (111) films is an order of magnitude larger than that of (001) films. The present results provide not only a better understanding of the AHE in Mn$_3X$N systems but also further opportunities to study the unique phenomena related to noncollinear AFM.

description: Hadron production at forward rapidities in d+Au collisions is studied in the framework of parton recombination in the final state. Multiple scattering and gluon saturation in the initial state are not explicitly considered. The recombination of soft and shower partons is found to be important. The soft parton densities are determined by extrapolation from the parametrization fixed at η=0 with no unconstrained adjustments. The suppression of R_{CP} observed at high ηis understood as the simple consequence of the reduction of the soft parton density on the deuteron side compared to that on the gold side. The effect of momentum degradation responsible for baryon stopping is also considered. The asymmetry of backward-to-forward spectra can be reproduced within the same framework without any change in the basic physics.

Slowly rotating Einstein-bumblebee black hole solution and its greybody factor in a Lorentz violation model

description: We obtain an exact slowly rotating Einstein-bumblebee black hole solution by solving the corresponding $rr$ and $tϕ$ components of the gravitational field equations in both cases: A, $b_μ=(0,b(r),0,0)$; B, $b_μ=(0,b(r),\mathfrak{b}(θ),0)$. Then we check the other gravitational field equations and the bumblebee field motion equations by using this solution. We find that in the case A, there exists a slowly rotating black hole solution indeed for arbitrary LV (Lorentz violation) coupling constant $\ell$; however as in the case B, there exists this slowly rotating solution if and only if the coupling constant $\ell$ is as small as or smaller than the angular momentum $a$. Till now there seems to be no full rotating black hole solution, so one can't use the Newman-Janis algorithm to generate a rotating solution in Einstein-bumblebee theory. It is similar as that in Einstein-aether theory where there exists only some slowly rotating black hole solutions. In order to study the effects of this Lorentz symmetry broken, we consider the black hole greybody factor and find that when angular index $l=0$, the LV constant $\ell$ decreases the effective potential and enhances the absorption probability, which is similar to that of the non-minimal derivative coupling theory.

description: Jack was conscripted in March 1917. Although he later claimed the government owed him a year's pension because his birth registration was a year late, it possibly saved his life. He trained as a machine gunner at Clipstone, Notts. When fitted out with a great coat he complained it was too large. NCO i/c was having none of it, retorting "it was a perfect bloody fit." This has become a family byword for ill-fitting garments. Recounted later how they "fished" for carp at Clipstone by throwing Mills bombs in the lake. Also related that the supper menu always listed "Cocoa and Chips." When Jack commented to OIC catering that there were never any chips he was told rather theatrically "Yes, but it rounds the menu off beautifully."In 1918 he served as guard with German PoWs on Cannock Chase. "They were dying like flies of influenza." Jack recalled feeling helpless and unable to save them. There is a German war grave nearby. In 1919 he should have been sent to fight the Bolsheviks in Murmansk but a dock strike at Liverpool put paid to that venture.

description: Before a quantum-mechanical calculation involving electromagnetic interactions is performed, a choice must be made of the gauge to be used in expressing the potentials. If the calculation is done exactly, the observable results it predicts will be independent of the choice of gauge. However, in most practical calculations approximations are made, which can destroy the gauge invariance of the predictions. We compare here the results of coupled-channel time-dependent relativistic Coulomb excitation calculations, as performed in either Lorentz or Coulomb gauges. We find significant differences when the bombarding energy per nucleon is $\geq$ 2 GeV, which indicates that the common practice of relying completely on the Lorentz gauge can be dangerous.

description: The story concerns two families united by marriage but also the loss they suffered in the First World War. They lived in the rural village of The Lee, Buckinghamshire. Canon Phipps, who was the father of Jim and Charles, was the Vicar of St. John's at The Lee.This account is drawn from the family collection of photographs and letters compiled by Fenella Tillier, of her great uncles, Charles and Jim Phipps and her grandfather Ivor Stewart-Liberty.Ivor, brother-in-law to Jim and Charles Phipps, was the heir of Sir Arthur Liberty, who founded the eponymous retail business, Libertys, in Regent Street in London. Educated at Winchester and Oxford.Charles was educated at Cornwallis School, Maidenhead and at Winchester. During an attack on German lines at The Battle of Fromelles, a bullet broke his leg. Rescued initially by Private Damant of Marlow, both were killed by machine gun fire during their attempt to regain the British lines on 19th July 1916. Charles is remembered on the Loos memorial, panels 83-85.Jim was educated at Cornwallis School and Winchester. Jim saw service at Mons, where he was wounded in the foot, and at Givenchy, where he was wounded in the chest. Jim was mentioned in dispatches 3 times and was subsequently awarded the MC and DSO. Following attachment to the RE Jim died of influenza and pneumonia at Duren, near Cologne on 19th February 1919.Ivor saw action at the Battle of Fromelles 20th-21st July 1916. This was an attack on the German front lines at a position near Aubers Ridge, devised as a plan to distract German troops from the Somme. He was wounded in the attack and having been rescued by his batman subsequently lost his leg as a result of his injuries. Ivor was awarded the MC in August 1916, and survived the war.The original letters contained in this file can be found in the Bucks County Archives in Aylesbury.The second attachment concerns a fascinating and moving account of Fenella's visit to France in April 2010, as part of the making of the Channel 4 documentary "Finding the Lost Battalions." The documentary covers the discovery and exhumation of mass graves resulting from the Battle of Fromelles, the identification of the missing through DNA sampling, and their reburial at the new CWG site at Pheasants Wood Cemetery. Fenella recounts her experience and her visit to the battle where her grandfather was injured.She also visit the memorial to her uncle Charles Phipps at Loos. More background to this story can be found in the works of historian Peter Barton, who makes a significant contribution to the documentary.Further background to the experience of The Lee in WW1 can be found in Mike Senior's book "No Finer Courage, The Loss of an English Village."

description: The large $N$ limit of the four-dimensional superconformal index was computed and successfully compared to the entropy of a class of AdS$_5$ black holes only in the particular case of equal angular momenta. Using the Bethe Ansatz formulation, we compute the index at large $N$ with arbitrary chemical potentials for all charges and angular momenta, for general $\mathcal{N}=1$ four-dimensional conformal theories with a holographic dual. We conjecture and bring some evidence that a particular universal contribution to the sum over Bethe vacua dominates the index at large $N$. For $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM, this contribution correctly leads to the entropy of BPS Kerr-Newman black holes in AdS$_5 \times S^5$ for arbitrary values of the conserved charges, thus completing the microscopic derivation of their microstates. We also consider theories dual to AdS$_5 \times \mathrm{SE}_5$, where SE$_5$ is a Sasaki-Einstein manifold. We first check our results against the so-called universal black hole. We then explicitly construct the near-horizon geometry of BPS Kerr-Newman black holes in AdS$_5 \times T^{1,1}$, charged under the baryonic symmetry of the conifold theory and with equal angular momenta. We compute the entropy of these black holes using the attractor mechanism and find complete agreement with the field theory predictions.

description: Bus routes are typically updated every 3-5 years to meet constantly changing travel demands. However, identifying deficient bus routes and finding their optimal replacements remain challenging due to the difficulties in analyzing a complex bus network and the large solution space comprising alternative routes. Most of the automated approaches cannot produce satisfactory results in real-world settings without laborious inspection and evaluation of the candidates. The limitations observed in these approaches motivate us to collaborate with domain experts and propose a visual analytics solution for the performance analysis and incremental planning of bus routes based on an existing bus network. Developing such a solution involves three major challenges, namely, a) the in-depth analysis of complex bus route networks, b) the interactive generation of improved route candidates, and c) the effective evaluation of alternative bus routes. For challenge a, we employ an overview-to-detail approach by dividing the analysis of a complex bus network into three levels to facilitate the efficient identification of deficient routes. For challenge b, we improve a route generation model and interpret the performance of the generation with tailored visualizations. For challenge c, we incorporate a conflict resolution strategy in the progressive decision-making process to assist users in evaluating the alternative routes and finding the most optimal one. The proposed system is evaluated with two usage scenarios based on real-world data and received positive feedback from the experts.

description: We investigate the possibility of extending the Ashtekar theory to eight dimensions. Our approach relies on two notions: the octonionic structure and the MacDowell-Mansouri formalism generalized to a spacetime of signature 1+7. The key mathematical tool for our construction is the self-dual (antiself-dual) four-rank fully antisymmetric octonionic tensor. Our results may be of particular interest in connection with a possible formulation of M-theory via matroid theory.

description: Social learning and life history interact in human adaptation, but nearly all models of the evolution of social learning omit age structure and population regulation. Further progress is hindered by a poor appreciation of how life history affects selection on learning. We discuss why life history and age structure are important for social learning and present an exemplary model of the evolution of social learning in which demographic properties of the population arise endogenously from assumptions about per capita vital rates and different forms of population regulation. We find that, counterintuitively, a stronger reliance on social learning is favoured in organisms characterized by ‘fast’ life histories with high mortality and fertility rates compared to ‘slower’ life histories typical of primates. Long life spans make early investment in learning more profitable and increase the probability that the environment switches within generations. Both effects favour more individual learning. Additionally, under fertility regulation (as opposed to mortality regulation), more juveniles are born shortly after switches in the environment when many adults are not adapted creating selection for more individual learning. To explain the empirical association between social learning and long life spans and to appreciate the implications for human evolution, we need further modelling frameworks allowing strategic learning and cumulative culture.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Life history and learning: how childhood, caregiving and old age shape cognition and culture in humans and other animals’.

description: We study experimentally the longitudinal and transverse wakefields driven by a highly relativistic proton bunch during self-modulation in plasma. We show that the wakefields' growth and amplitude increase with increasing seed amplitude as well as with the proton bunch charge in the plasma. We study transverse wakefields using the maximum radius of the proton bunch distribution measured on a screen downstream from the plasma. We study longitudinal wakefields by externally injecting electrons and measuring their final energy. Measurements agree with trends predicted by theory and numerical simulations and validate our understanding of the development of self-modulation. Experiments were performed in the context of the Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE).

description: The aim of the study was to present changes in the Polish foreign trade of fruit and fruit preserves in the years 2001-2015. The quantity and the value of the export and the import of fresh fruit and their preserves were researched. The balance of foreign trade was also calculated. To illustrate the changes the analyzed period was divided into four sub-periods, for which the dynamics of changes was calculated. Within the sub-periods the export and import was presented in terms of their quantity, values and geographical structure. It was found out that in the analyzed period the volume and especially the value of the export and the import increased. The increase in export was higher and the biggest growth was seen in the export of apples. In the geographical structure of the export the importance of the EU-15 dropped and the share of the export of the CIS states grew. There were no major changes in the geographical structure of the import. / Synopsis. Celem opracowania było przedstawienie i ocena zmian w handlu zagranicznym owocami i ich przetworami w latach 2001-2015. Zbadano wielkość oraz wartość eksportu i importu owoców świeżych i ich przetworów oraz obliczono saldo handlu zagranicznego tymi produktami. W celu zobrazowania zmian analizowany okres podzielono na cztery podokresy. Przy zastosowaniu wskaźników dynamiki określono zmiany jakie zaszły w ilości i wartości eksportu i importu w kolejnych podokresach w stosunku do lat ich poprzedzających. Wydzielenie czterech podokresów umożliwiło również zdefiniowanie zmian w strukturze towarowej i geograficznej handlu zagranicznego. Stwierdzono wzrost wielkości, a w szczególności wartości eksportu i importu. Wyższy wzrost zaobserwowano jednak w przypadku eksportu, a w szczególności w przypadku sprzedaży zagranicznej jabłek. W strukturze geograficznej eksportu spadło znaczenie krajów UE-15, natomiast wzrósł udział Wspólnoty Niepodległych Państw. Nie odnotowano natomiast znaczących zmian w strukturze geograficznej importu.
