This paper is concerned with unconventional water cooling that is primarily intended for medium-power synchronous generators. A configuration of the proposed cooling was briefly described here. A way how to estimate the main thermal resistance related to the new water cooling system was presented here. A small induction motor was selected for practical verification of the proposed cooling concept. Measurements extended on this motor showed correctness of water cooling parameters design and superiority of this cooling method comparing to another traditional methods of cooling. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
This paper presents the results of investigations on changes of the parameters of coal and surrounding rocks in the fault zones in the Upper Silesia Coal Basin. It has been shown that these zones, in relation to the undisturbed coal seams, reveal a n enrichment with some substances that pose a threat to the natural environment and that they also show a deterioration in the strength parameter values of rocks which threaten the safety of the operation. The greatest threat for the environment constituted sulphur and the ash. In the zone of the fault, it wa s observed that sulphur behaved in two ways. In the first case, the total sulphur and pyritic sulphur increased significantly by 192.3 and 823.5 %, respectively, and a small quantity of sulphate sulphur was found here, whereas in the other case, the total sulphur and pyritic sulphur decreased by 31.6 an d 35.3 %, respectively, and sulp hate sulphur increased considerably and reached up to 600 %. The mean content of ash increased by 171.8 %. The mechanical strenght of the rocks under uniaxial compressive strength in the fault zones decreased by 67 %, the microhardness of coal decreased to zero, and the intensity of cracks in coal grains increased by 359.1 %., Stanisław Roman Cmiel., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
For a nontrivial connected graph $G$ of order $n$ and a linear ordering $s\: v_1, v_2, \ldots , v_n$ of vertices of $G$, define $d(s) = \sum _{i=1}^{n-1} d(v_i, v_{i+1})$. The traceable number $t(G)$ of a graph $G$ is $t(G) = \min \lbrace d(s)\rbrace $ and the upper traceable number $t^+(G)$ of $G$ is $t^+(G) = \max \lbrace d(s)\rbrace ,$ where the minimum and maximum are taken over all linear orderings $s$ of vertices of $G$. We study upper traceable numbers of several classes of graphs and the relationship between the traceable number and upper traceable number of a graph. All connected graphs $G$ for which $t^+(G)- t(G) = 1$ are characterized and a formula for the upper traceable number of a tree is established.
The practicality of the portable, non-destructive type nitrogen meter (Agriexpert PPW-3000) was tested on ten forest species. Also investigated was the potential relationship between leaf nitrogen and chlorophyll (Chl) contents and the readings taken with the PPW-3000 and a Chl meter (SPAD-502). There was a significantly positive correlation between the readings of PPW-3000 and N content in the same leaves, whereas the correlation between leaf Chl content and the PPW-3000 values was less positive. Similarly there was a significant positive correlation between actual Chl content and the SPAD-502 readings and the less positive correlation between actual N content and the SPAD-502 readings. Thus using both the PPW-3000 and SPAD-502 enables to determine leaf N and Chl contents simply and non-destructively in the field. and T. Ichie ... [et al.].
Digital Watermarking (DW) based on computational intelligence (CI) is currently attracting considerable interest from the research community. This article provides an overview of the research progress in applying CI methods to the problem of DW. The scope of this review will encompass core methods of CI, including rough sets (RS), fuzzy logic (FL), artificial neural networks (ANNs), genetic algorithms (GA), swarm intelligence (SI), and hybrid intelligent systems. The research contributions in each field are systematically summarized and compared to highlight promising new research directions. The findings of this review should provide useful insights into the current DW literature and be a good source for anyone who is interested in the application of CI approaches to DW systems or related fields. In addition, hybrid intelligent systems are a growing research area in CI.
The dissociation between egocentric and allocentric reference frames is well established. Spatial coding relative to oneself has been associated with a brain network distinct from spatial coding using a cognitive map independently of the actual position. These differences were, however, revealed by a variety of tasks from both static conditions, using a series of images, and dynamic conditions, using movements through space. We aimed to clarify how these paradigms correspond to each other concerning the neural correlates of the use of egocentric and allocentric reference frames. We review here studies of allocentric and egocentric judgments used in static two- and three-dimensional tasks and compare their results with the findings from spatial navigation studies. We argue that neural correlates of allocentric coding in static conditions but using complex three-dimensional scenes and involving spatial memory of participants resemble those in spatial navigation studies, while allocentric representations in two-dimensional tasks are connected with other perceptual and attentional processes. In contrast, the brain networks associated with the egocentric reference frame in static two-dimensional and three-dimensional tasks and spatial navigation tasks are, with some limitations, more similar. Our review demonstrates the heterogeneity of experimental designs focused on spatial reference frames. At the same time, it indicates similarities in brain activation during reference frame use despite this heterogeneity., Sofiia Moraresku, Kamil Vlcek., and Obsahuje bibliografii
This paper formulates a unit commitment optimization problem for renewable energy sources distributed in a micro-grid formed by a complex of intelligent buildings of both office and residential characters, including a wide range of amenities. We present a general description of the solution of this task using the simulated annealing heuristic optimization technique. The experiment was processed in the specialized computer program. For comparison, Appendix A of the article describes the Lagrange multipliers optimization method as the conventional alternative to the used heuristic technique. A description of the concept of intelligent buildings is provided in Appendix B.
A short review of analytical and semi-analytical theories of geosynchronous satellite motion is presented. The intermediary orbit, where geopotential harmonic coefficients C20, C22, S22, C31, S31, C33, S33, C44, S44, C55, S55 as well as the second term in the series of luni-solar disturbing functions are incorporated, is applied. The given intermediate orbit can be used not only to compute preliminary epnemeris of the geosynchronous satellites (for time intervals as long as one year at least) but also for defining the conditional equations with respect to corrections to parameters of the geopotential.
The latter application on *22, λ22, *31, λ31, *33, λ33 results in the following minimum requirement of the observational data: data for 4 passive satellites, moving in the vicinity of both libration points (λ = 75° E, 105° W) having various libration amplitudes, for time intervals equivalent to a half of libration periods. and na místě nesrozumitelných řeckých znaků použity třikrát *
The importance of GIS detailed data for geomorphostructural study is discussed. This paper is a case study in the area of Inowrocław (central Poland). This small area is a place being a concentration of geological processes and its relief depicted by a number of height points (with determined elevations of satisfying accuracy required in the analysis) demonstrates their effects. The invented approach is based on a numerical analysis of actual and theoretical relief surfaces. Considering the area type this study involves a high resolution model of the relief. There are specified examples of correlation between morphological features and tectonic structures. The presented results prove a role of structural elements (faults) in development of geomorphostructural features and a tectonic mobility as a significant factor forming the area relief., Zbigniew Szczerbowski., and Obsahuje bibliografii
