In this article, we present a novel application domain for human computation, specifically crowdsourcing, which can help in understanding particle-tracking problems. Through an interdisciplinary inquiry, built crowdsourcing system designed to detect tracer particles industrial tomographic images, and applied it the problem of bulk solid flow silos. As images from silo-sensing systems cannot be adequately analyzed using currently available computational methods, intelligence is required....

Abstract This paper presents a new approach to teaching programming undergraduate computer science students. A dedicated Arduino board along with custom application interface (API) was introduced into classes view strengthen students’ engagement and improving the attractiveness of course. The students were presented basic functionalities board, which gave them possibility accomplish their own projects—typically video games—without any background in electronics. level participants observed by...

The increasing availability of drones produces a number opportunities for integrating them in everyday settings and using to create engaging experiences users. In this paper, we investigate how can support amateur runners their endeavours. We explore the possible roles during running races. Through two field studies multiple semi-structured interviews, gain new insights on could augment experience both supporters organised Finally, contribute set future directions into sports experience.

When a non-contact and remote temperature measurement is of importance, several environmental factors must be considered. Of these, two are crucial importance — the surface emissivity observed object directional in object–sensor relationship. This paper proposes FDEM Fuzzy Directional Emissivity Model built with assumption that cylindrically shaped. The model consists submodels for vertical horizontal directions separately. main contribution this formalization linguistic description...

The following article presents an electronic education board based on popular Arduino microcomputer. Its purpose is to make programming learning more attractive by expanding the possibilities of interaction with a computer number input/output devices, such as joysticks, graphic and alphanumeric displays, light emitting elements, keyboards radio communication. Due its affordable price availability, students that do not have any practical skills or knowledge in field electronics can build...

The topic raised in this paper concerns an important aspect regarding the possibilities of combustion and co-combustion biomass substrates (energetic willow/sewage sludge), light renewable energy source (RES) regulations, with fuel from waste defined here as RDF. Particular interest these fuels their mixtures results a search by thermal power engineering sector for whose will be associated benefits, e.g., acquisition origin licenses, availability lower cost obtaining (RDF), well moderate...

This paper presents a novel approach to complex process of electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) measurement data analysis. ECT is frequently employed for non-invasive monitoring industrial phenomena. Proposed methodology based on the premeditated integration spatial and temporal relations inherent in records into workflow analysis procedure. We propose concept interactive timeline that enables arranging visualization according user's current focus along evaluated proposed method using...

The amount of generated waste, which increases every year, is a serious problem the modern world. In particular, attention should be paid to hazardous waste and methods its disposal. One most used in this context thermal treatment dedicated incinerators equipped with rotary kiln. Conducting process requires, inter alia, supplying furnace batch material appropriate parameters. Improper operation regard may cause negative environmental effects operational problems. key here select different...
