Multidimensional modelling of open-cycle process of OM355 engine was developed. Calculations for computational mesh were carried out. The results of the model were validated by experimentally measured in-cylinder pressure and the good agreement between calculations and measurements approved the trustworthy of numerical code. Results included pressure, temperature, emission and Rate of heat rel...

In many learning problems, we attempt to infer global structure in the interest of making local predictions. For example, we might try to infer the skills of the competitors in a tournament in order to predict who will win a match, or we might try to predict characteristics of users and films in order to predict which users will like which films. In even relatively simple settings of this type,...

The implementation of renewable energy policies is lagging behind in The Netherlands. While several Dutch cities have ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the implementation of renewable energy projects has been rather slow. The main reasons for this are the limited institutional capacities of local decision-makers, low levels of social acceptance of renewable-energy tec...

Ships transport large volumes of cargo, and are therefore major contributors to the global economy. Ship collisions can cause significant economic losses. Path-planning algorithms prevent such by suggesting optimal path for navigation. Conventional path-planning disadvantageous, because they do not consider navigation practices followed experienced navigators. Therefore, in this study, we devel...
