Enhanced chain dynamics in loop-sorting-systems by means of layout optimization and a kinematic model of the polygon action
2012
Published version of an article in the journal: Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00158-011-0743-7 Poor dynamics owing to polygon action is a known concern in mechanical applications of closed articulated chains. In this paper a kinematic model of the polygon action in large chains of loop-sorting-systems is proposed. Through optimization techniques the chain dynamics is improved by minimizing the polygon action using a parametric model of the track layout as design variables. Three formulations of the kinematic polygon action are tested on an average sized planer tracks layout to find a superior model. Verificati…
Impact of Separator Thickness on Temperature Distribution in Single Cell of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Operated at Higher Temperature of 90 °C and…
2022
The New Energy and Industry Technology Development Organization (NEDO) road map (Japan, 2017) has proposed that a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) system, which operates at a temperature of 90 °C and 100 °C, be applied for stationary and mobility usage, respectively. This study suggests using a thin polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) and a thin gas diffusion layer (GDL), at the same time, to achieve better power-generation performance, at a higher temperature than usual. The focus of this paper is to clarify the effect of separator thickness on the distribution of temperature at the reaction surface (Treact), with the relative humidity (RH) of the supply gasses and initial operation tem…
Spór o wybory powszechne na stanowiska sędziowskie w amerykańskim dyskursie publicznym w okresie „demokracji jacksonowskiej”
2021
Artykuł przedstawia debatę, jaka odbyła się pomiędzy zwolennikami i przeciwnikami obsadza-nia stanowisk sędziowskich w drodze wyborów powszechnych w Stanach Zjednoczonych w okre-sie tzw. „demokracji jakcsonowskiej” (zwaną także populistyczną) od początku lat trzydziestych XIX wieku do wybuchu wojny secesyjnej. Począwszy od prezydentury Andrew Jacksona nasiliła się w USA walka polityczna pomiędzy ludem reprezentowanym przez Partię Demokratyczną a eli-tami, których interesów broniła Partia Wigów. Przedmiotem sporu stało się żądanie szerszego do-puszczenia ludu do sprawowania władzy oraz demokratyzacja dotychczasowej oligarchicznej re-publiki poprzez rozszerzenie praw wyborczych oraz wyborów p…
Interactively Learning the Preferences of a Decision Maker in Multi-objective Optimization Utilizing Belief-rules
2020
Many real life problems can be modelled as multiobjective optimization problems. Such problems often consist of multiple conflicting objectives to be optimized simultaneously. Multiple optimal solutions exist to these problems, and a single solution cannot be said to be the best without preferences given by a domain expert. Preferences can be used to find satisfying solutions: optimal solutions, which best match the expert’s preferences. To model the preferences of the expert, and aid him/her in finding satisfying solutions, a novel method is proposed. The method utilizes machine learning combined with belief-rule based systems to adaptively train a belief rule based system to learn a domai…
Il prisma del crimine di Henry e Lanier
2021
Al fine di esemplificare la tensione verso modelli integrati, il lavoro di Stuart Henry e Mark M. Lanier: Essential Criminology (2009) permette di valutare le opportunità che derivano dall’uso di un modello euristico che integra le diverse dimensioni che determinano il crimine. In order to exemplify the tension towards integrated models, the work of Stuart Henry and Mark M.: Lanier Essential Criminology (2009) allows us to evaluate the opportunities that arise from the use of a heuristic model that integrates the different dimensions that determine crime.
Racjonalizacja planowania rozwoju miast w aspekcie teoretycznym i praktycznym
2021
Punktem wyjścia w dyskusji o ewolucji systemu zarządzania rozwojem miast jest zazwyczaj analiza jego braków i słabości. Rzadziej są nim stosowane przez gminy praktyki planistyczne, które zwiększają skuteczność i racjonalność podejmowanych działań. Artykuł stanowi esencjonalny przegląd aktualnych dobrych praktyk z obszarów planowania przestrzennego i strategicznego, obrazujących oddolne i nieskodyfikowane działania samorządów lokalnych.Przykłady zostały osadzone w teoretycznych ramach holistycznego ujęcia problemu rozwoju miast. Celem artykułu, poza ilustracją zagadnień wraz z ich teoretyczną podbudową, jest inspiracja do zmian w kształcie opisanej przepisami prawa ustawowej części systemu p…

Scheduling under the network of temporo-spatial proximity relationships
2017
We discuss and introduce to the schedulingeld a novel, qualitative optimization model - scheduling under the network of temporo-spatial proximity relationships.We introduce a half perimeter proximity measure as an objective of scheduling.We present and evaluate an incremental Sequence Pair neighborhood evaluation algorithm, applicable to both scheduling and rectangle packing problems in VLSI industry. In this paper, we discuss and introduce to the scheduling field a novel optimization objective - half perimeter proximity measure in scheduling under the network of temporo-spatial proximity relationships. The presented approach enables to qualitatively express various reasons of scheduling ce…

Optimizing management to enhance multifunctionality in a boreal forest landscape
2017
The boreal biome, representing approximately one-third of remaining global forests, provides a number of crucial ecosystem services. A particular challenge in forest ecosystems is to reconcile demand for an increased timber production with provisioning of other ecosystem services and biodiversity. However, there is still little knowledge about how forest management could help solve this challenge. Hence, studies that investigate how to manage forests to reduce trade-offs between ecosystem services and biodiversity are urgently needed to help forest owners and policy makers take informed decisions. We applied seven alternative forest management regimes using a forest growth simulator in a la…
