A way to face the challenge of moving towards a new greener aviation is exploit disruptive aircraft architectures; one most promising concept PrandtlPlane, box-wing based on Prandtl's studies multiplane lifting systems. designed accordingly Prandtl “best wing system” minimizes induced drag for given lift and span, thus it has potential reduce fuel consumption noxious emissions. For aerodynamic ...

Generating biped locomotion in robotic platforms is hard. It has to deal with the complexity of the tasks which requires the synchronization of several joints, while monitoring stability. Further, it is also expected to deal with the great heterogeneity of existing platforms. The generation of adaptable locomotion further increases the complexity of the task. In this paper, Genetic Programming ...

Beauty is produced much more abundantly at LHC energies compared to RHIC energies. The increase in production, coupled with the beauty large mass, makes it an interesting observable for the physic of the ALICE experiment[1]. Semi-electronic decay of beauty mesons offers a powerful tool to study beauty production in ALICE, attributed to its high tracking resolution (ITS, TPC, TRD) and vertexing ...

T. Lis, K. Nowacki, K. Łakomy Silesian University of Technology, Department of Production Engineering, Katowice, Poland In the European Union one of the most important activities is the recovery and recycling of waste including foundry waste. In the article waste arising from production of iron casting was presented. Selected physic-chemical properties of iron-bearing waste were defined. Opport...

The paper presents a set of strategies for addressing the parallelization of irregular problems in distributed memory machines. Our methods are targeted to data-parallel compilers, though some of them are also useful for manual parallelization. We treat the specii-cation of a broad range of irregular applications, like numerical algorithms, iterative and direct methods for the solution of linea...

In the growing field of rehabilitation robotics, the modelling of a real robot is a complex and passionate challenge. On the crossing point of mechanics, physics and computer-science, the development of a complete 3D model involves the knowledge of the different physic properties, for an accurate simulation. In this paper, it is proposed the design of an efficient three-dimensional model of the...

As an example of national and international effort on this field, and concrete model of solution, the author presents TELMAE Virtual Community Environment (VCE) and Learning Object Repository (LOR), developed at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague, for interactive online support of science education and educators. The virtual community of teachers was built mainly w...
