This document describes study of distributed management of resources in the context of Smart City with support of multi-agent systems. The investigated points include theoretical concepts of Smart City and application of multi-agent systems, decentralized and centralized designs for agent-based solutions and aspects of interactions between different self-interested agents. The document explores ...

In this master thesis, a small rotary actuator with wire driveline intendent for space solutions is developed and tested. The replication of the environment with focus on surface friction, surface roughness, and more dynamical related features are considered. Features like temperature, vibration, radiation and more are excluded to limit the size. This because the field of interest in this iteration ...

We prove the boundedness of Potential operator in weighted generalized Morrey space in terms of Matuszewska-Orlicz indices of weights and apply this result to the Hemholtz equation in ℝ³ with a free term in such a space. We also give a short overview of some typical situations when Potential type operators arise when solving PDEs.

Each year about a third of the elderly aged 65 or older experience a fall. Many of these falls could be avoided if fall risk assessment and prevention tools where available in the daily living situation. Such tools would need to use the current context as input to predict an imminent fall. This paper presents an approach predicting imminent falls using data from a roof-mounted infrared array combined ...

This paper focuses on alternative grid tariffs for household customers with roof top PV-panels ("prosumers"), and evaluates how alternative grid tariffs might affect the benefit from investing in a roof top PV-panel. The paper further shows how different orientations of the PV-panels can affect the benefits for the prosumers subjected to different grid tariffs (for example a power grid tariff), where ...

In this paper homogenization of a mathematical model for plant tissue biomechanics is presented. The microscopic model constitutes a strongly coupled system of reaction-diffusion-convection equations for chemical processes in plant cells, the equations of poroelasticity for elastic deformations of plant cell walls and middle lamella, and Stokes equations for fluid flow inside the cells. The chemical ...

Interactive computer based geometry editing is very useful for designers and artists. Our goal has been to develop useful tools for geometry editing in a way that increases the ability for creative design. When we interactively editing geometry, we want to see the change happening gradually and smoothly on the screen. Pre-evaluation is a tool for increasing the speed of the graphics when doing ...

Some classical inequalities are known also in a more general form of Banach lattice norms and/or in continuous forms (i.e., for ‘continuous’ many functions are involved instead of finite many as in the classical situation). The main aim of this paper is to initiate a more consequent study of classical inequalities in this more general frame. We already here contribute by discussing some results of ...

In modern data analysis it is imperative to use well maintained data sources with curated content. This publication gives an approach for research areas, where there is no such central facility. The specific area used here is sea ice classification from images. The publication is split into two parts. The first part describes the integration of discontinuous sources for different aspects of data ...

Regression analysis allows us to track the dynamics of change in measured data and to investigate their properties. A sufficiently good model allows us to predict the behavior of dependent variables with higher accuracy, and to propose a more precise data generation hypothesis. By using polynomial approximation for big data sets with complex dependencies we get piecewise smooth functions. One way ...
