In flow boiling, the nucleate and convective components are superimposed by a very complex mechanism, which so far is not well understood. Two models exist in present literature, one Chen [3] (1963), using addition of two with suppression factor; Shah [8] (1976), "greater of" Bo-number simplified correlation. Neither model presents satisfactory solution, as attested numerous methods published since then, mostly based only on regression analysis-derived correction factors. this article new...
A new yet little understood threat to our ecosystems is microplastics.
Abstract Sustainable production aims at creating products from processes that minimize environmental impact, energy consumption and natural resources. Customers markets are ever more leaning towards digital, custom, flexible solutions with lower impact. Hence, Industry 4.0 (I4.0) increasingly including social sustainability aspects. We focus on the realization of an infrastructure integrating industrially relevant application modules by combining system reconfigurability artificial...
NOTAMs are time- and safety-critical announcements of temporary changes to global flight conditions essential personnel concerned with operations. In this paper we introduce SemNOTAM, a knowledge-based framework that enables fine-grained intelligent semantic filtering provides formal, explicit, machine-readable representation Digital associated business rules. Filtering functionalities for time, space, aircraft, user-defined aspects, any combination thereof supported. Furthermore, SemNOTAM...
Pre-Flight Information Briefings (PIBs) provide current Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) information pilots prior a flight. Pilots suffer from overload as PIBs offer limited structuring possibilities. In this paper, we present system for semantic enrichment of Digital NOTAMs (DNOTAMs) which has been developed in cooperation with and aeronautical experts. Semantic enrichments can be used additional We introduce classifications DNOTAMs based on their importance, location flight phase, event scenario....
A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) is a safety- and time-critical announcement of temporary changes flight conditions, for example, an airspace closure, thus essential operations personnel. Reducing the number irrelevant NOTAMs presented personnel critical decrease information overload stress level In this paper we present multi-level knowledge model as well corresponding system architecture knowledge-based NOTAM filter query which has been developed part Semantic (Sem-NOTAM) research project. We...
We present a novel mobile robot manipulator named BALTO, which can precisely and autonomously disinfect critical items of buildings, yet be easily deployed in different environments by non-expert operators. Conventional approaches based on greedy disinfection actions dangerous for surrounding humans, or provide non-controlled coverage such as door-handles, push-bars switches. Other robotic solutions providing precision require time-consuming geometric semantic mapping the environment,...
Many companies are confronted with an increasingly large number of business rules. Consequently, means for efficient and effective management these rules necessary. However, Business Rule Management Systems (BRMS) frequently provide only simple rule organization techniques such as collecting into sets according to a single criterion. fields organize information by contexts that may be hierarchically structured. Similarly, we propose the use manage associated vocabulary. We survey context...
ATM data in the upcoming SWIM originates from different authoritative sources (such as Eurocontrol) and is combined enriched by providers GroupEAD). It further filtered, specifically organizations (Airlines, ANSPs, Manufacturers) provided to end-users for accomplishment of specific tasks an EFB a pilot conducting flight). The relationships between these products are hidden APIs or non-standardized interfaces web services. This makes discovery combination intricate task requiring intervention...
The quality and content of data regarding certain types information can vary over time. Such may be weather data, news reports, demographic health data. To effectively utilize such it has to gathered, processed, stored, provided consumers in different formats. In case sources, the must also processed taking formats update frequencies into account. An agent-based system supports deploying provisioning processing services where they are best suited - at source, warehouse, broker, or consumer....
Most attempts at devising an index of continentality have stressed temperature range. Recent work based on air mass concept has basic flaws, particularly with regard to scale. Instead, a factor-analytic approach is applied here North American data and obtained which includes not only range but measure winter severity, seasonal precipitation.
