Development trends (Research Trends) in scientific research on the methods of Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) in agriculture are analyzed. Established bibliometric techniques are applied. MCDA/MCDM methods are being very intensively developed in recent years, as evidenced by the number of scientific papers published annually in renowned scientific...
The presented experimental and digital examinations of a two-dimensional turbulent free jet are a first phase of in the study of the Coandă effect and its hysteresis. Additionally, basing on theoretical analyses, selected results for a turbulent jest have been also mentioned, considering theoretical assumptions for the wall layer. As the result, on the basis of experimental, digital, and analytical...
In the present work, we have studied an unsteady, two-dimensional boundary layer flow of a magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) Oldroyd-B fluid over an oscillatory stretching surface. The problem is modeled by using constitutive equations. The number of independent variables in the governing equations are reduced by using appropriate dimensionless variables. The analytical solution is computed by using homotopy...
In the paper, functions describing different porosity-tortuosity relations were collected, and then the tortuosity values were calculated for a one granular bed consisting of spherical particles with normal distribution of diameters. Information about the bed porosity and particle sizes was obtained from measurements conducted for an artificial granular bed, consisting of glass marbles. The results...
This paper discusses the method used to identify the process involving fatigue cracking of samples on the basis of selected vibration signal characteristics. Acceleration of vibrations has been chosen as a diagnostic signal in the analysis of sample cross section. Signal characteristics in form of change in vibration amplitudes and corresponding changes in FFT spectrum have been indicated for the...
The purpose of this paper was presentation of the value of cores electrification during their flow in the modified Wurster apparatus, applied for dry encapsulation of pharmaceutical materials. Previous works of the authors dealt with vulnerability of the particles of different diameter, produced by SYNTAPHARM (Cellets 1000, 700 and 100) on electrification in laboratory conditions. The presented work...
Rapid information search in large data sets is one of the most important issues. Quite often it leads sorting strings stored in different cultures, languages. In this work the author presents a modified triple heap algorithm to sort strings for large data sets. Triple heap algorithm is the subject of research and demonstrating its usefulness in applications.
The paper presents the results of a fractal analysis of the cross-sections of a porous mineral deposit consisting of spherical elements which formed a spatial system with varying porosity (0.4 to 0.95). The virtual deposit was generated using the Discrete Element Method in the YADE code by means of the so-called Radius Expansion Method. The fractal analysis was carried out using the structure function...
It is discussed the using of dynamic programming method to optimize the parameters of the cascade of ideal mixing reactors, which is held isothermal first order reaction. It is found, that the minimum volume of the cascade of reactors corresponds to the minimum residence time of substance in this cascade. The optimum value of residence time for all reactors are equal and all ratio of input and output...
The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) is the first pan-European satellite navigation system. EGNOS makes GPS suitable for safety critical applications such as flying and landing an aircraft. To use EGNOS in aviation the system monitoring and validation in certain localization in needed, as well as official flight procedure design and certification. According to these rules,...
The aim of the study was to determine the effects of time and temperature during the pre-treatment in hot water semi-products obtained from potatoes. This treatment results in leaching of reducing sugars and influences on the texture of fried potato products. Studies were carried out on samples of potatoes in the form of slices (having a diameter of 57 mm and a thickness of 4 mm) and sticks having...
We compare two SAT-based bounded model checking algorithms for the properties expressed in the existential fragment of a soft real-time computation tree logic (RTECTL) and in the existential fragment of computation tree logic (ECTL). To this end, we use the generic pipeline paradigm (GPP) and the train controller system (TC), the classic concurrency problems, which we formalise by means of a finite...
Within the road investments the very important element determining repeatedly the success of the whole project is an adequate information about the characteristics of the site, its load capacity, stability and the possible impact of geological characteristics that may interfere with subsequent service life, not only for the road surface itself, but also for the surrounded objects. The surface is incessantly...
The article presents the use of BIM design method in geotechnical issues. BIM was used in the modeling of high building “Mogilska Tower” in Cracow. The object, as one of the few in Cracow, will have three underground storeys. High building with underground levels requires checking the impact of the implementation of a deep excavation on existing buildings. Analysis of settlement impact caused by deep...
Searching for relations between the level of production intensity, land efficiency and work performance, comparative analyses were carried out on international scale taking into consideration 45 countries from around the world with the use of the Statistical Yearbook (2013) and International Statistics Yearbook (2015). The research covered basic qualification criteria of sustainable agriculture, i...
A simplified mathematical model of hydraulic drive of container upturning during loading of solid domestic wastes into a dustcart is proposed. Approximated analytical time dependencies of pressure in a delivery pipe of a hydrocylinder, angular velocity and the angle of container upturning are obtained. Approximated duration dependence of container upturning from main parameters of hydraulic drive...
The paper presents two approaches of determining S-N fatigue characteristics. The first is a commonly used and well-documented approach based on the least squares method and staircase method for limited fatigue life and fatigue limit, accordingly. The other approach employs the maximum likelihood method. The analysis of the parameters obtained through both approaches exhibited minor differences. The...
The process of adapting a screen separator to seeds of a given species and variety requires a corresponding set of replaceable screens. Screen replacement is a time-consuming process. Screens are often selected from the available size range, therefore, cleaning and separation processes are not always optimized. This study proposes a design concept of a new device for cleaning and separating seeds,...
The paper contains results of the studies on X-ray diffraction analysis XRD (studying the phase composition, crystallite sizes) of oxide layers on 10CrMo9-10 steel, operated for a long time at an elevated temperature (T = 525°C, t = 200,000 h). The oxide layer was studied on a surface and a cross-section at the outer on the inlet both on the fire and counter-fire side of the tube wall surface. X-ray...
The accuracy of the available from the literature models for the dew point temperature determination was compared. The proposal of the modelling using artificial neural networks was also given. The experimental data were taken from the psychrometric tables. The accuracies of the models were measured using the mean bias error MBE, root mean square error RMSE, correlation coefficient R, and reduced...
