• Probability analysis of life Raft capsizing on rough sea

  Publication

  • J. Bielański

  - Year 2006

  Artykuł przedstawia metodę obliczania prawdopodobieństwa przewrócenia się tratwy ratunkowej za pomocą symulacji ruchu na fali nieregularnej. Przedstawiono obliczenia ruchów tratwy na falowaniu nieregularnym, którego symulacje wykonano dla znanej funkcji gęstości widmowej falowania dla Bałtyku oraz niedeterministycznego (stochastycznego) rozkładu amplitudy fali.

• Simulation of Life Raft Motions on Irregular Wave - An Analysis of Situations Leading to Raft Capsizing

  Publication

  • O. Kazimierska

  - Polish Maritime Research - Year 2018

  Successful rescue action at sea is based on a. o. a correct choice of rescue means and their reliability. Operational characteristics of life-saving appliances determine their performance in a given water area. Therefore they affect duration time of rescue action and decide this way on survival time of shipwrecked persons. This paper presents impact of characteristics of circular inflatable life rafts on their dynamics in a...

  - Polish Maritime Research - Year 2021

  Ensuring the safety of ship crews at sea is of the utmost importance. Life rafts are one of the basic components of any seagoing vessel and ensuring their stability is an important component of maritime research. This study concerns the determination of the aerodynamic drag coefficients of pneumatic life rafts in a full range of wind speed and directions. The drag coefficients are based on full-scale experimental studies and numerical...

  Publication

  • B. Kostek

  - Year 2018

  This paper presents first a short review on music recommendation systems based on social collaborative filtering. A dictionary of terms related to music recommendation systems, such as music information retrieval (MIR), Query-by-Example (QBE), Query-by-Category (QBC), music content, music annotating, music tagging, bridging the semantic gap in music domain, etc. is introduced. Bases of music recommender systems are shortly presented,...

  Publication

  • A. Drapińska

  - Handel Wewnętrzny - Year 2017

  High level of consumption, driven by marketing activities, the pleasure and joy of possession and the accumulation of material goods are often associated with prosperity, sense of happiness and fulfilment in life. On a broader scale, economic indicators related to production and consumption are used to define the well-being and quality of life in societies. Unfortunately, the phenomenon of consumerism entails negative social and...
