    Notes: Abstract This paper demonstrates the ability of Polish agriculture to adapt to predicted climate change according to GISS and GFDL scenarios. Both climate-change scenarios will significantly affect farming conditions in Poland through water deficit, shifts in planting and harvesting seasons, changes in crop yields and crop structure. Neither scenario seems to endanger the self-sufficiency of Poland as long as preventative measures are taken. Moreover, the realization of GISS creates the possibility of a surplus in production. It must be emphasized that regardless of the scenario, the adaptation of agriculture to an expected climate change cannot be handled by the farming community itself.

    Notes: The mechanical properties of poly(urethaneimides) (PUI) were compared with known biomedical polyurethanes. The resistance of PUI to extraction with hexane and water and to sterilization with ethylene oxide or water vapor was stated. Water sorption and the permeability of water vapor, oxygen, and carbon dioxide through PUI foils were investigated. In blood compatibility, the PUI foils were similar to cellulose material Cuprophane, used in dialysis. Preliminary in vivo testing of PUI implanted in rats indicated good biocompatibility of this polymer. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
