Akaike's final prediction error criterion revisited
PublicationWhen local identification of a nonstationary ARX system is carried out, two important decisions must be taken. First, one should decide upon the number of estimated parameters, i.e., on the model order.

Inequalities formulated at level k ∈ Z are violated by probabilities at level k+1. We are inclined to think that k=0 corresponds to the classical world, while k=1 — to the quantum one. However, as the k=0 inequalities are violated by k=1 probabilities, the same relation holds between k=1 inequalities violated...

Bell-Type Inequalities from the Perspective of Non-Newtonian Calculus

The model generalizes spin-1/2 singlet state probabilities discussed in Czachor (Acta Physica Polonica:139 70–83, 2021) to arbitrary spins s. For s → ∞ the formalism reduces to ordinary arithmetic and calculus. Accordingly, the limit “non-Newtonian to Newtonian” becomes analogous to the classical limit of a quantum theory

It targets three different directions, namely: network planning, failure modeling, and survivable routing. The steady state network planning is tackled by upgrading a sub-network (a set of links termed...

Application of theory of semi-Markov processes to determining distribution of probabilistic process of marine accidents resulting from colission of ships
PublicationIn this paper is presented possible application of the theory of semi-Markov processes to elaborating an eight-state model of the process of occurrence of serviceability state and unserviceability states of sea-going ships making critical manoeuvres during their entering and leaving the ports. In the analysis it was taken into account that sea-going ships are in service for a very long time t (t → ∞). The model was elaborated to...

Maritime Communication and Sea Safety of the Future - Machnine-type 5G Communication Concept
PublicationThe article presents the concept of a system based on 5G network and M2M communication increasing maritime safety. Generally, the focus was on presenting a proposal for a hierarchical, hybrid, cooperative system with M2M communication coordinated with BAN networks. The possi-ble applications of M2M communication at sea were also presented.

THE PROBLEM OF THE CALCULATION OF THE FREQUENCY OF DIAGNOSTIC EXAMINATIONS BASED ON DEVICE’S PROPER OPERATION TIME
PublicationThe paper presents the proposal to apply the normal distribution to solve the problem of the frequency of diagnostic tests. Particular emphasis is placed on simplicity of the method. This method may be useful for the average user technical system. The method reduces the number of assumptions to a minimum. The results do not raise of serious doubts but they require verification of course.

Music Information Retrieval in Music Repositories
PublicationThis chapter reviews the key concepts associated with automated Music Information Retrieval (MIR). First, current research trends and system solutions in terms of music retrieval and music recommendation are discussed. Next, experiments performed on a constructed music database are presented. A proposal for music retrieval and annotation aided by gaze tracking is also discussed.

Suitability study of hybrid model of electrodynamic actuator
PublicationThis paper presents the proposal of the hybrid circuit-field model of an electrodynamic actuator. The field model uses the inductor current as the input data which is obtained from the circuit model or experimentally. The field model implemented using the FLUX program makes it possible to easily determine the pressure distribution acting on the disc. The results have been verified experimentally.

Concept of Compatibility Region for the Evaluation of IR UWB Electromagnetic Compatibility
PublicationThis paper presents a new proposal for the unified evaluation of ultra wideband and narrowband radio communication systems electromagnetic compatibility, called “compatibility region”. The idea of compatibility region is based on the relation between the ratio of narrowband to ultra wideband signal power in a receiver and some transmission quality indicators (bit error rate, effective data rate).

Modulo N Backoff Scheme for effective QoS differentiation and increased bandwidth utilization in IEEE 802.11 networks
PublicationThe paper presents a new "modulo N" channel access scheme for wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). The novel solution derives from the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) of the IEEE 802.11 standard, further elaborated as Enhanced Distribution Channel Access (EDCA) by the 802.11e draft specification. The main innovation concerns improvement of the binary exponential backoff scheme used for collision avoidance in 802.11 networks....

The analysis of soil resistance during screw displacement pile installation
PublicationThe analysis of soil resistances during screw displacement pile installation based on model and field tests. The investigations were carried out as a part of research project, financed by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. A proposal of empirical method for prediction of rotation resistance (torque) during screw auger penetration in non-cohesive subsoil based on CPT result.

Should Polish banks be domesticated?
PublicationThe financial crisis revealed vulnerabilities in the regulation and supervision of the banking system. The overarching goal of the proposal (Bazylea III and CRD IV) is to strengthen the resilience of the EU banking sector. The effects of these regulations will be detrimental to the Polish banking system and economy. This follows from the fact that listed banks in Poland are subsidiaries of international banking groups. The article...

Gesture recognition framework for multimedia content viewer controlling
PublicationIn the paper a system for controlling a multimedia content viewer by hand gestures is presented. First, selected methods used for gesture recognition are described. Two different application cases of the system, i.e. for multimedia presentation purposes and for multimedia content viewing are outlined. Moreover, a proposal of improvement of the system combining these approaches is also given. The system work cycle is reviewed. The...

Noninvasive method for rotor fault diagnosis in inverter fed induction motor drive
PublicationThis article presents a proposal, simulation and experimental results of a noninvasive rotor fault diagnosis method for the inverter fed induction motor drive. Comparing to reported methods the proposed one does not require any load, rotor brake, slip, mechanical or electrical system physical modification e.g. machine disassembly and can be applied regardless the rotor speed measurement or estimation method.
