- Description:
- This paper deals with the application of a fluidized layer of granular material (FLGM) for the direct separation of destabilized impurities during drinking water treatment. Further, it investigates the effect of operation parameters (fluidized layer grain size, technological arrangement, velocity gradient, retention time, dosage of destabilisation reagent and temperature) on the aggregation and separation efficiency of the layer. The tests were carried out in a pilot plant scale. Aluminium sulphate was used as the destabilisation reagent. The highest separation efficiencies were achieved, when the particles entered the fluidized layer immediately after the dosing of the destabilisation reagent, when they had the lowest degree of aggregation. The separation efficiency (ϕ) also increased with increasing velocity gradient and the maximal value was reached at the velocity gradient of about 250 s-1. The most efficient separation of aluminium was achieved at 5 °C, but the effect of temperature on the efficiency of organic matter separation (ϕTOC) was not very significant. The maximal efficiency of separation on the layer grains reached the values ϕAl = 0.81 at the optimal dosage DAl = 1.55 mg L-1 and ϕTOC = 0.31 at the optimal dosage DAl = 2.36 mg L-1. The indisputable advantage of using FLGM for the separation of impurities is that they are intercepted on the layer grains in a form of solid, water-free shell (or coat) with the density of 2450 kg m-3, and there is no need to deal with the sludge dewatering. and Příspěvek se zabývá využitím fluidní vrstvy zrnitého materiálu (FLGM) pro přímou separaci destabilizovaných nečistot při úpravě vody a vlivem provozních parametrů (velikost zrn náplně, technologické uspořádání, gradient rychlosti, doba zdržení, dávka destabilizačního činidla, teplota) na agregační a separační účinnost vrstvy. Testy byly prováděny na poloprovozním modelu fluidní vrstvy. Jako destabilizační činidlo byl použit síran hlinitý. Nejvyšší separační účinnosti byly dosahovány, pokud částice nečistot vstupovaly do fluidní vrstvy bezprostředně po nadávkování destabilizačního činidla, kdy byl jejich stupeň agregace nejnižší. Separační účinnost (ϕ) se také zvyšovala s narůstající hodnotou gradientu rychlosti ve fluidní vrstvě a maximální hodnoty dosáhla při gradientu kolem 250 s-1. Hliník byl nejúčinněji separován při nízké teplotě (5 °C), nicméně na účinnost separace organických látek (ϕTOC) teplota příliš velký vliv neměla. Maximální účinnost separace na zrnech fluidní vrstvy dosáhla hodnot ϕAl = 0,81 při optimální dávce DAl = 1,55 mg L-1 a ϕTOC = 0,31 při optimální dávce DAl = 2,36 mg L-1. Nespornou výhodou využití fluidní vrstvy jako separačního prvku je skutečnost, že nečistoty jsou na zrnech FLGM zachycovány ve formě pevné skořápky (hustota 2450 kg m-3), která neobsahuje kapalnou vodu, a kal tudíž nemusí být odvodňován.

655. A full characterization of multipliers for the strong $\rho$-integral in the euclidean space

- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- strong $\rho $-integral, multipliers, and dual space
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- We study a generalization of the classical Henstock-Kurzweil integral, known as the strong $\rho $-integral, introduced by Jarník and Kurzweil. Let $(\mathcal S_{\rho } (E), \Vert \cdot \Vert )$ be the space of all strongly $\rho $-integrable functions on a multidimensional compact interval $E$, equipped with the Alexiewicz norm $\Vert \cdot \Vert $. We show that each element in the dual space of $(\mathcal S_{\rho } (E), \Vert \cdot \Vert )$ can be represented as a strong $\rho $-integral. Consequently, we prove that $fg$ is strongly $\rho $-integrable on $E$ for each strongly $\rho $-integrable function $f$ if and only if $g$ is almost everywhere equal to a function of bounded variation (in the sense of Hardy-Krause) on $E$.

657. A fundamental proof for the equivalence of transformations with respect to fixed and moving coordinates in reverse order
- Creator:
- Hariri, Mahdiar and Mahzoon, Mojtaba
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- transformations, rigid body motion, Euler angles, fixed coordinate, moving coordinate, and RPY
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- In elementary robotics, it is very well known that the rotation of an object by the angles respectively Ψ (x), Θ (y), Φ (z) wrt** a fixed coordinate system (RPY) results in the same angular position for the object as the position achieved by the rotation of that object by the angles respectively Φ (z), Θ (y), Ψ (x) wrt a moving (with the object) coordinate system (euler angles). The proofs given up to now for such consequences are not general and for any such problem usually involve the calculation of the transformation matrix for both cases and observing the equivalence of the two matrices [1, 2, 3]. In this paper a fundamental and at the same time general proof is given for such results. It is shown that this equivalence in reverse order can be extended to the general class of transformations which keep the local relations constant (i.e., each transformation should keep the local relations constant). For example, rotation, translation and scaling are 3 types of transformations which can be located in this general class.

658. A fuzzy logic based system for detection of car driver's vigilance level
- Creator:
- Coufal, David
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- EEG spectrograms, implicate fuzzy system, and micro-sleeps detection
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- The paper presents an application of fuzzy logic modeling techniques for design and development of a classification system for car driver's vigilance level detection. Especially, the micro-sleeps detection is of our primary interest. Detection is based on a pattern analysis of EEG signal spectrograms, which are acquired by monitoring the driver during a driving process. The system is based on the concept of radial implicative fuzzy system, which can be treated as a logical system accommodating acquired knowledge in a structured form.

659. A fuzzy-logic generalization of a data mining approach

- Subject:
- data analysis, vague hypotheses, vague significance level, fuzzy predicate calculus, basic fuzzy logic, generalized quantifiers, and method Guha
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- Data mining nowadays belongs to the most prominent Information technologies, experiencing a boom of interest from users and software producers. Traditionally, extracting knowledge from data has been a domain of statisticians, and the largest variety of rnethods encountered in commercial data mining systems are actually methods for statistical data analysis tasks. One of the most important ones among them is testing hypotheses about the probability distribution underlying the data. Basically, it consists in checking the null hypothesis that the probability distribution, a priori cissumed to belong to a broad set of distributions, actually belongs to one of its narrow subsets, which must be precisely delimited in advance. However, in a situation in which the data mining is performed, there are seldom enough clues for such a precise delimitation. That is why the generalizations of statistical hypotheses testing to vague hypotheses háve been investigated for more than a decade, so far following the most straightforward way - to replace the set defining the null hypothesis by a fuzzy set. In this páper, a principally different generalization is proposed, based on the observational-logic approach to data mining, and in particular to hypotheses testing. Its key idea is to view statistical testing of a fuzzy hypothesis cis an application of an appropriate generalized quantifier of a fuzzy predicate calculus to predicates describing the data. The theoretical principles of the approach are elaborated for both crisp and fuzzy significance levels, and illustrated on the quantifier lower critical implication, well known from the data mining system Guha. Finally, the implementation of the approach is briefly sketched.

- Subject:
- Expert system (ES), Fuzzy expert system (FES), Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), and rule support and confidence
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- Over the years, one of the challenges of a rule based expert system is the possibility of evolving a compact and consistent knowledge-base with a fewer numbers of rules that are relevant to the application domain, in order to enhance the comprehensibility of the expert system. In this paper, the hybrid of fuzzy rule mining interestingness measures and fuzzy expert system is exploited as a means of solving the problem of unwieldiness and maintenance complication in the rule based expert system. This negatively increases the knowledge-base space complexity and reduces rule access rate which impedes system response time. To validate this concept, the Coronary Heart Disease risk ratio determination is used as the case study. Results of fuzzy expert system with a fewer numbers of rules and fuzzy expert system with a large numbers of rules are presented for comparison. Moreover, the effect of fuzzy linguistic variable risk ratio is investigated. This makes the expert system recommendation close to human perception.
