  • Salinity enhances high optically active L-lactate production from co-fermentation of food waste and waste activated sludge: Unveiling the response of microbial community shift and functional profiling

    Publication

    - BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY - Year 2020

    Lactic acid (LA), a versatile platform molecule, can be fermented from organic wastes, such as food waste and waste activated sludge. In this study, an efficient approach using salt, a component of food waste as an additive, was proposed to increase LA production. The LA productivity was increased at 10 g NaCl/L and optical pure L-lactate was obtained at 30 g NaCl/L. The enhancement of LA was in accordance with the increased solubilization...

  • Convergence or divergence in the European Union

    Publication

    - Year 2007

    The disparities in economic prosperity revealed both from inter-country and inter-region perspective are one of the main problem in the modern economy. They consist of the dispersion in the real values such as incomes, GDP or productivity, but also nominal values such as prices and costs. The European Union is aware of this problem hence the role of the regional and structural policy aiming enhancing the cohesion between member...

  • The occurence and diagnosis of biomarkers of ethyl alcohol consumption

    Publication

    - UWM Law Review - Year 2015

    Ethyl alcohol is a legal and a widely available psychoactive drug. However, its excessive consumption causes addiction. This leads to aggressive behaviors, family battery, difficulties in interpersonal relations, legal offences, suicides, car accidents and deterioration in labor productivity, what causes financial problems. Despite many social actions against alcohol consumption, this problem is still unresolved. Therefore, fast...

  • Modeling of luminance distribution in CAVE-type virtual reality systems

    Publication

    At present, one of the most advanced virtual reality systems are CAVE-type (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) installations. Such systems are usually consisted of four, five or six projection screens and in case of six screens arranged in form of a cube. Providing the user with a high level of immersion feeling in such systems is largely dependent of optical properties of the system. The modeling of physical phenomena plays nowadays...

  • Simulation model for evaluation of QOS dynamic routing

    Publication

    - Year 2009

    Current informational networks use a large variety of technologies to support data exchange. Most of them are focused on IP protocol and include mechanisms which by definition should supply demanded QoS. One of those mechanisms is efficient path calculation - routing. Traffic offered to the network can change very rapidly in short term. Routing should support such traffic changes and all the time calculate valid paths in terms...

  • Minimizing Distribution and Data Loading Overheads in Parallel Training of DNN Acoustic Models with Frequent Parameter Averaging

    Publication

    In the paper we investigate the performance of parallel deep neural network training with parameter averaging for acoustic modeling in Kaldi, a popular automatic speech recognition toolkit. We describe experiments based on training a recurrent neural network with 4 layers of 800 LSTM hidden states on a 100-hour corpora of annotated Polish speech data. We propose a MPI-based modification of the training program which minimizes the...

    Publication

    This paper contains research results of the diagnostics of induction motor bearings based on measurement of the supply current with usage of artificial neural networks. Bearing failure amount is greater than 40% of all engine failures, which makes their damage-free operation crucial. Tests were performed on motors with intentionally made bearings defects. Chapter 2 introduces the concept of artificial neural networks. It presents...

  • Neural modelling of dynamic systems with time delays based on an adjusted NEAT algorithm

    Publication

    A problem related to the development of an algorithm designed to find an architecture of artificial neural network used for black-box modelling of dynamic systems with time delays has been addressed in this paper. The proposed algorithm is based on a well-known NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) algorithm. The NEAT algorithm has been adjusted by allowing additional connections within an artificial neural network and...

  • Distributed protection against non-cooperative node behavior in multi-hop wireless networks

    Publication

    An important security problem in today's distributed data networks is the prevention of non-cooperative behavior i.e., attacks consisting in the modification of standard node operation to gain unfair advantage over other system nodes. Such a behavior is currently feasible in many types of computer networks whose communication protocols are designed to maximize the network performance assuming full node cooperation. Moreover, it...

  • Dynamic unattended measurement based routing algorithm for diffServ architecture

    Publication

    - Year 2010

    Dynamic routing is very important in terms of assuring QoS in today's packet networks especially for streaming and elastic services. Existing solutions dedicated to dynamic routing are often too complicated and seem to be not usable in real time traffic scenarios where transferred traffic may vary significantly. This was the main reason for research and new routing mechanism proposal which should apply to today's packet networks....

    Disaster-based failures can seriously disrupt any communication network, making its services unavailable. Such disruptions may be caused by natural disasters, technology-related failures, or malicious attacks, and they are observably increasing in number, intensity and scale. When network services that are a part of critical infrastructure become unavailable, commercial and/or societal problems are inevitable. The issue of limiting...

  • Multi-task Video Enhancement for Dental Interventions

    A microcamera firmly attached to a dental handpiece allows dentists to continuously monitor the progress of conservative dental procedures. Video enhancement in video-assisted dental interventions alleviates low-light, noise, blur, and camera handshakes that collectively degrade visual comfort. To this end, we introduce a novel deep network for multi-task video enhancement that enables macro-visualization of dental scenes. In particular,...
