A multi-objective location-allocation optimization for sustainable management of municipal solid waste
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-02-13)
The location problem of treatment and service facilities in municipal solid waste (MSW) management system is of significant importance due to the socioeconomic and environmental concerns. The consideration of waste treatment costs, environmental impact, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, social fairness as well as other relevant aspects should be simultaneously taken into account when a MSW management ...
On geometric construction of some power means
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-27)
In the homogenization theory, there are many examples where the effective conductivities of composite structures are power means of the local conductivities. The main aim of this paper is to initiate research concerning geometric construction of some power means of three or more variables. We contribute by giving methods for the geometric construction of the harmonic mean $ P_{-1} $ and the arithmetic ...
Fejér and Hermite-Hadamard Type Inequalities for N-Quasiconvex Functions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-12-28)
Some new extensions and re finements of Hermite – Hadamard and Fejer type inequalities for functions which are N -quasiconvex are derived and discussed.
Potential type operators in PDEs and their applications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-01)
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 ℝ<sup>3</sup> 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.
Study of the required thermal insulation (IREQ) of clothing using infrared imaging
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
The sense of cold develops due to the increase in heat loss from a human body. Excessive cold can be a health hazard, since excessive heat loss from the body may result in hypothermia/frostbite. Decreased body temperature due to heat loss also affects the physical, manual and perceptive performance of individuals. Therefore, protective measures are taken through clothing that controls and regulates ...
Simulation of the HDPE Pyrolysis Process
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018)
Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic compounds such as High-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastics. The product of the HDPE pyrolysis is usually diesel with other wastes (such as carbon black, etc.). A pyrolysis reaction is essentially a decomposition reaction performed at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen.
There are many other complex reactions taking place in pyrolysis, ...
Local Flexibility Market Design for Aggregators Providing Multiple Flexibility Services at Distribution Network Level
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-02)
This paper presents a general description of local flexibility markets as a market-based management mechanism for aggregators. The high penetration of distributed energy resources introduces new flexibility services like prosumer or community self-balancing, congestion management and time-of-use optimization. This work is focused on the flexibility framework to enable multiple participants to compete ...
Periodic homogenization of nonlocal operators with a convolution-type kernel
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017)
The paper deals with a homogenization problem for a nonlocal linear operator with a kernel of convolution type in a medium with a periodic structure. We consider the natural diffusive scaling of this operator and study the limit behavior of the rescaled operators as the scaling parameter tends to 0. More precisely we show that in the topology of resolvent convergence the family of rescaled operators ...
Underactuated Control of Quadrotors with Collision Avoidance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2013)
In this paper a saturated controller is derived that solves the translational control problem for underactuated quadrotors. The controller is applied to multiple quadrotors during a formation reconfiguration where the quadrotors move from an initial position to a desired position. The null-space-based behavioral control method is a popular method for avoiding collisions between mobile agents, and ...
Real-Time Particle Tracking using a Formation of UAVs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2013)
In this paper the problem of real-time particle tracking is studied. Using sensor measurements, a formation of UAVs autonomously find the closest point with high particle density where they enter a holding pattern. After converging to the holding pattern, one UAV will remain, while the rest will go looking for other maxima. To avoid collisions between the UAVs during the mission, a controller is ...
