Krzyżtopór Castle is located in Ujazd, Poland. It was constructed between 1621-1644 by Krzysztof Ossoliński to be the largest castle in Poland and Europe. The castle's unique design included a pentagonal bastion and connections between the palace, fortifications, and garden. It was destroyed in 1770 during a rebellion. Today only ruins remain, though the castle continues to attract visitors with its unusual features and annual knight tournaments.

The Hole: Another look at the sinking of the Estonia ferry on September 28, 1994
In September 1994, the passenger ferry Estonia set out on an overnight cruise from Tallinn, Estonia to Stockholm, Sweden and sank in the Baltic Sea, killing nearly 1000 people in 35 minutes. It was the worst peacetime sea catastrophe in European waters in the 20th century. A controversial government investigation blamed the ship s design and high waves. But the Estonia was the only intact ship in maritime history to sink in less than one hour -- faster than some torpedoed ships. This disturbing fact is the core of the tragedy and was left unexplained. The victims still remain in the shipwreck in shallow depth just off the coast of Finland, a spot militarily guarded by Sweden. The Hole: Another look at the sinking of the Estonia ferry on September 28, 1994 examines alternative explanations in view of post-Soviet chaos, proceeding from the theory that the Estonia had a hole -- from a collision or an explosion.

The use of pro-active versus re-active risk management practices for managing...
This document is a master's thesis submitted by Pieterjan Tilleman to the University of Ghent in 2013-2014. The thesis examines the use of proactive versus reactive risk management practices for managing supply chains. It includes a literature review on risk management, supply chain management, and supply chain risk management. The thesis presents a conceptual framework analyzing the influence of proactive and reactive risk strategies, moderated by supply chain management practices, design complexity, and other factors. Primary data was collected through a survey of Belgian companies and analyzed using statistical techniques including factor analysis and hypothesis testing. The results provide insight into how different approaches to risk management impact supply chain performance.
Study of Java Card and its Application
Sun Microsystems defined a set of specifications for a subset of Java technology to create applications for them, Java Card applets. A device that supports these specifications is referred to as a Java Card platform. On a Java Card platform, multiple applications from different vendors can coexist securely. The Java Card platform is the tiniest of Java targeted for embedded devices. It is an open, interoperable platform for smart cards and secure tokens. The technology is widely used in SIM cards (it's used in GSM mobile phones) and ATM cards. Java Card gives users the ability to program a device and make it application specific and lets smart card developers use a common card platform. Smart cards, unlike magnetic stripe cards, can carry all necessary functions and information on the card; therefore, they do not require access to remote databases at the time of the transaction.
A Study of Iris Recognition
This document summarizes a study on iris recognition. It discusses how iris recognition works by capturing high-resolution images of a person's iris and extracting distinguishing features to create biometric templates for identification. The key steps described are iris localization to isolate the iris region, feature extraction using filters to encode patterns into binary codes, and template matching using Hamming distance to compare templates and identify matches. Advantages of iris recognition include very high accuracy and verification time under 5 seconds. Disadvantages include its intrusive nature and high memory requirements. Applications discussed include security for ATMs, computers, buildings, and airports.
