Basic methods of the sensitivity analysis applicable in combination with numerical Monte Carlo type simulation methods are presented in the paper. An example of the influence of a plane steel fame initial imperfections on its load-carrying capacity variability is given there. It is shown in this paper that basic sensitivity analysis methods can be inaccurate in some cases. The updated modification of the procedures mentioned is proposed so that it were possible to apply them to the most various structure types solved by means of simulation methods. The influence of initial imperfections on the load-carrying capacity of steel plane frame is analysed by auxiliary sensitivity analysis. The realisations of input random quantities were simulated by the Latin Hypercube Sampling method. The load-carrying capacity was solved by geometrically and materially nonlinear solution. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The effects of awn removal on ear gas exchange in four barley lines (Morex, Harrington, Steptoe, and TR306) were studied under a controlled environment using a Before-After Control-Impact Paired (BACIP) experimental design. From ear emergence to grain maturity, plants were grown in pots at either 60 or 90 % of soil water holding capacity. Gas-exchange measurements of ears were made 9 and 10 d after anthesis (DAA). On 11 DAA, awn removal was performed on half of the ears in each pot, followed by measurements on both intact and de-awned ears on 12 and 13 DAA. Net photosynthetic (PN) and transpiration (E) rates decreased significantly with awn removal, but dark respiration (RD) rate was not affected. We estimated for each ear a temperature-adjusted respiration rate (Ra) from RD. When we corrected PN with Ra, we found that rates of spikelet photosynthesis were largely underestimated. Moderate water stress had minimal effect on gas exchange of bracts and awns of the barley ear. Barley lines did not differ for any individual gas-exchange parameter. and Q. Z. Jiang ... [et al.].
Monstrozní, obří, tajemné, vražedné, vymykající se známým fyzikálním zákonům, přímo nepozorovatelné brány do jiných vesmírů... Jen málokteré objekty v kosmu se honosí tak barvitými a rozpruplnými označeními jako černé díry. A současně málokteré tolik dráždí zvědavost nejen veřejnosti, ale také astronomů, kosmologů a (astro)fyziků, kteří se snaží kousek po kousku odrhrnout roušku jejich tajemství. Černé díry se však nehodlají vzdát a vzdorovitě připravují jedno překvapení za druhým. and Jana Olivová, Michal Švanda.
A method for B-spline filtration of data measured on a very precisely manufactured sphere is described in this paper. The method has been developed to decrease the uncertainty of measurement which can be obtained by least squares method commonly used when processing the measured data. The B-spline filtration is realised as a B-spline surface approximating the data measured on 3D coordinate measuring machine and transformed into the parametric space of the sphere. This transformaton eliminates the undesirable consequences of convex hull property of B-spline surfaces when processing convex data. Furthermore, the B-spline representation of the measured sphere can be considered as a certain replacement of the original sphere. Subsequently, the B-spline representation can be used for a new more precise measuring strategy in iterative measuring process. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
