The paper presents new methodology how to find and estimate the main features of time series to achieve the reduction of their components (dimensionality reduction) and so to provide the compression of information contained in it under keeping the selected features invariant. The presented compression algorithm is based on estimation of truncated time series components in such a way that the spectrum functions of both original and truncated time series are sufficiently close together. In the end, the set of examples is shown to demonstrate the algorithm performance and to indicate the applications of the presented methodology.
The aim of this paper is to show the complex thermal analyses used to design of aircraft electronic control unit. Control Power Supply for Jet (CPSJ). The goal is to examine thermal conditions of power and control electronics components. With respect to aircraft application a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is used for heat transfer coefficient determination. This method is compared to analytic solution based on Petuchov equation of Nusselt number. The temperature conditions inside the CPSI unit are presented as results. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The thermal resistance is one of the important behaviors of the construction and thermal insulating materials. This study describes foamed material made from fluidized bed ash (FBA) in combination with natural smectite having a filler function. The foaming effect was insured by addition of metallic aluminum to the FBA/smectite mixture. Highly calcareous FBA containing calcium oxide creates during slaking processes an alkali reaction and with aluminum develops foaming agent - hydrogen. Study of thermal resistance was a part of experiments directed on heat insulating materials and article presents test results of this life gardening material. Specific attention was focused on differences between the results of chemical analyses and the crystal phases identified by X-ray diffractions. The paper presents hypothesis of chained alumina-silicates acting as bonding agent confirmed by infra-red spectroscopy and assuring together with calcium sulfates high thermal resistance even under condition of direct flame attack., Tomáš Hanzlíček and Ivana Perná., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The article presents a liquid film instability model designed using results of the set of CFD simulations. The governing equations of the model are derived using a linear equation of motion. The stability analysis is carried out by imposing a liquid surface disturbance which growth rate is investigated in dependence on the geometrical and physical configuration. The gas effect parameters, which are decisive variables in the model, are derived using results of the set of CFD simulations of turbulent flow in channel with wavy surface. The agreement between predicted and measured critical gas velocities and wavelengths in dependence on the liquid film thickness is very good. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Optimization problems depending on a probability measure correspond to many applications. These problems can be static (single-stage), dynamic with finite (multi-stage) or infinite horizon, single- or multi-objective. It is necessary to have complete knowledge of the "underlying" probability measure if we are to solve the above-mentioned problems with precision. However this assumption is very rarely fulfilled (in applications) and consequently, problems have to be solved mostly on the basis of data. Stochastic estimates of an optimal value and an optimal solution can only be obtained using this approach. Properties of these estimates have been investigated many times. In this paper we intend to study one-stage problems under unusual (corresponding to reality, however) assumptions. In particular, we try to compare the achieved results under the assumptions of thin and heavy tails in the case of problems with linear and nonlinear dependence on the probability measure, problems with probability and risk measure constraints, and the case of stochastic dominance constraints. Heavy-tailed distributions quite often appear in financial problems \cite {Meer 2003)} while nonlinear dependence frequently appears in problems with risk measures \cite {Kan (2012a),Pflu (2007)}. The results we introduce follow mostly from the stability results based on the Wasserstein metric with the "underlying" L1 norm. Theoretical results are completed by a simulation investigation.
For a finite group $G$ denote by $N(G)$ the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$. In 1980s, J. G. Thompson posed the following conjecture: If $L$ is a finite nonabelian simple group, $G$ is a finite group with trivial center and $N(G) = N(L)$, then $G\cong L$. We prove this conjecture for an infinite class of simple groups. Let $p$ be an odd prime. We show that every finite group $G$ with the property $Z(G)=1$ and $N(G) = N(A_i)$ is necessarily isomorphic to $A_i$, where $i\in\{2p,2p+1\}$., Azam Babai, Ali Mahmoudifar., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Dendromonocotyle lotteri sp. n. is described from the dorsal skin surface of the stingray Himantura gerrardi (Gray) on exhibit in the public aquarium at the Atlantis resort in Dubai. It is differentiated from all other Dendromonocotyle species by the unique morphology of the distal portion of the sclerotised male copulatory organ. Dendromonocotyle lotteri is the second representative in the genus with 56 marginal haptoral papillae having a papillae to loculus association represented numerically as 6-6-8-8. We found Dendromonocotyle colorni Chisholm, Whittington et Kearn, 2001 on the same host specimens at the Atlantis resort public aquarium and Dendromonocotyle kuhlii Young, 1967 on Neotrygon kuhlii (Müller et Henle) kept at Burgers' Zoo Aquarium in Arnhem, The Netherlands. Supplemental information is provided for both D. colorni and D. kuhlii. The presence of Dendromonocotyle infections in public aquaria and host specificity are discussed. A key to the 17 species of Dendromonocotyle is also provided.
