Performance and emission characteristics of diesel engines running on gaseous fuels in dual-fuel mode
PublicationConventional fossil fuels are being substituted with alternative green fuels because of their greenhouse gas emissions and pollution problems, which pose a severe threat to the environment. Several studies have reported the usage of biodiesel and gaseous fuels in both single and dual-fuel modes. Gaseous fuels such as producer gas, biogas, syngas, and hydrogen produced from renewable biomass could potentially be used along with...

Performance and Energy Aware Training of a Deep Neural Network in a Multi-GPU Environment with Power Capping
PublicationIn this paper we demonstrate that it is possible to obtain considerable improvement of performance and energy aware metrics for training of deep neural networks using a modern parallel multi-GPU system, by enforcing selected, non-default power caps on the GPUs. We measure the power and energy consumption of the whole node using a professional, certified hardware power meter. For a high performance workstation with 8 GPUs, we were...

Performance Comparison of Automatically Generated Topologically Agnostic Patch Antennas
PublicationReal-world antenna design typically relies on empirical methods, where the development starts with structure synthesis followed by its iterative adjustments to achieve the desired performance. Although the outlined approach proved to be successful, it is also dependent on engineering experience. Alternatively, development can be performed automatically based on the specifications. In this work, an unsupervised design of topologically...

Performance of low-power underwater modem for shallow water communications
PublicationThe low-power underwater acoustic modem is usually an important component of the Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN). Network nodes have predetermined energy resources that will not be replenished during the life of the node. In shallow waters, multipath propagation is constantly occurring and for the modem to work effectively, solutions to overcome them must be used, which will also meet the important criterion of energy...

Performance of the Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Underwater Acoustic Communication System with Differential Detection in Strong Multipath Propagation Conditions
PublicationThe underwater acoustic communication (UAC) operating in very shallow-water should ensure reliable transmission in conditions of strong multipath propagation, significantly disturbing the received signal. One of the techniques to achieve this goal is the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technique, which consists in binary phase shift keying (BPSK) according to a pseudo-random spreading sequence. This paper describes the DSSS...

Performance of underwater data transmission using incoherent modulation MFSK in very shallow waters
PublicationEnsuring universal and stable underwater communication in shallow waters for various environmental conditions is a difficult scientific and engineering task. In particular, this applies to underwater communication systems that use acoustic waves in very shallow underwater channels, where multipath propagation permanently occurs. The article provides assumptions for a system working with incoherent M-ary Frequency Shift Keying (MFSK)...

Periodic Solutions of Generalized Lagrangian Systems with Small Perturbations
PublicationIn this paper we study the generalized Lagrangian system with a small perturbation. We assume the main term in the system to have a maximum, but do not suppose any condition for perturbation term. Then we prove the existence of a periodic solution via Ekeland’s principle. Moreover, we prove a convergence theorem for periodic solutions of perturbed systems.

Periodic solutions of Lagrangian systems under small perturbations
PublicationIn this paper we prove the existence of mountain pass periodic solutions of a certain class of generalized Lagrangian systems under small perturbations. We show that the found periodic solutions converge to a periodic solution of the unperturbed system if the perturbation tends to 0. The proof requires to work in a rather unusual (mixed) Orlicz–Sobolev space setting, which bears several challenges.

Perspectives of Fluctuation-Enhanced Gas Sensing by Two-Dimensional Materials
PublicationWe present the results of gas sensing using the fluctuation-enhanced sensing method in selected two-dimensional materials (2DMs). We claim that gas sensing selectivity can be improved further by considering semiconducting two-dimensional materials doped by noble metal nanoparticles. The 2DMs' structures exhibit some imperfections defined by their structure, occurring repeatedly there. These imperfections are adsorption-desorption...

Phosphanylphosphaalkenes as precursors for metallaphosphaalkene complexes
PublicationWe synthesized phosphanylphosphaalkenes (biph)2C=P-P(tBu)2 (2), Ph2CvP-P(NEt2)2 (3), and (biph)2CvP-P(NEt2)2 (4). The diaminophosphanyl derivatives reversibly dimerize head-to-head and react with a ruthenium complex, leading to P–P bond activation and the formation of a bridging phospaalkene complex under mild conditions.

Polarised light pollution on river water surfaces caused by artificial light at night from illuminated bridges and surroundings
PublicationLight is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye, and such electromagnetic waves can be polarised (Foster et al., 2018) (Supplementary Material). Generally, humans are not able to perceive polarised light, apart from some very specific situations (Haidinger, 1844), while several animals are able to perceive it (Foster et al., 2018). Polarisation can occur when unpolarised light is reflected or transmitted...
