3D POINT-CLOUD SPATIAL EXPANSION BY TOTAL LEAST-SQUARES LINE FITTING
PublicationPoint-cloud spatial expansion (PCSE) allows the creation of a new pointcloud form that presents an alternative geometry of an entire object in a single spatial view. Spatial expansion facilitates the analysis process and introduces an additional spatial parameter describing the point cloud. An important element of the PCSE method is determining the position of the axis of symmetry of a symmetrical object: the procedure for determining...

Assessing historical church tower asymmetry using point cloud spatial expansion
PublicationChurch towers are key cultural heritage. In theory, towers are vertical, while facade elements are symmetrically positioned around the tower axis. However, during service of a structure, building and lifetime conditions cause deviations, with associated risks. Laser scanning point clouds can be used to assess the structural state but a universal approach was missing. The proposed algorithm first estimates the tower inclination,...

Impact of cross-section centers estimation on the accuracy of the Point cloud spatial expansion using robust M-estimation and Monte Carlo simulation
PublicationThe point cloud spatial expansion (PCSE) method creates an alternative form of representing the shape of symmetrical objects and introduces additional descriptive geometric parameters. An important element of the procedure is determining the course of the axis of symmetry of cylindrical objects based on cross-sections of point clouds. Outliers occurring in laser measurements are of great importance in this case. In this study,...

Structure and thermal expansion of liquid bismuth
PublicationExperimental structural data for liquid Bi were used for estimation of the main structure parameters as well as the thermal expansion coefficient both in supercooled and superheated temperature ranges. It was shown that the equilibrium melt had a positive thermal expansion coefficient within a temperature range upon melting and a negative one at higher temperatures. The former was related to structure changes upon melting, whereas...

Subcritical Thermodynamic Cycles with Organic Medium and Isothermal Expansion
PublicationThe efffciencies of the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) are not very high and only very seldom do they exceed 20%. The increase and optimization of initial parameters and certain modifications of the thermodynamic cycle make it possible to overcome these drawbacks. A new modified cycle has been described and analyzed in detail in the paper. Similarly to the Ericsson cycle for gas turbines, isothermal expansion in the turbine is suggested...

Cavity-expansion approximation for projectile impact and penetration into sand
PublicationA one-dimensional problem of a spherical cavity expanding at a constant velocity from zero initial radius in an infinite granular medium, which has the first-kind self-similar solution, is considered. We are solving this dynamic spherical cavity-expansion problem to model rigid spheres penetrating into a granular media. Elastic–plastic deformation of the granular media is described in a barotropic approximation, using the high-pressure...

Interactive Query Expansion with the Use of Clustering by Directions Algorithm
PublicationThis paper concerns Clustering by Directions algorithm. The algorithm introduces a novel approach to interactive query expansion. It is designed to support users of search engines in forming web search queries. When a user executes a query, the algorithm shows potential directions in which the search can be continued. This paper describes the algorithm and it presents an enhancement which reduces the computational complexity of...

Robustness of quantum-randomness expansion protocols in the presence of noise
PublicationIn this paper we investigate properties of several randomness generation protocols in the device independent framework. Using Bell-type inequalities it is possible to certify that the numbers generated by an untrusted device are indeed random. We present a selection of certificates which guarantee two bits of randomness for each run of the experiment in the noiseless case and require the parties to share a maximally entangled state....

An extension of the method of quasilinearization
PublicationMetodę kwazilinearyzacji zastosowano do problemów początkowych gdy prawą stronę zagadnienia można przedstawić za pomocą nieliniowej funkcji "rozszerzenia", zakładając o niej pewną regularność. Pokazano, że odpowiednio skonstruowane ciągi monotoniczne są zbieżne kwadratowo do rozwiązania problemu. Praca uogólnia odpowiednie wyniki, gdy prawa strona jest sumą funkcji wklęsłych i wypukłych ze względu na ostatni argument.

Application of Illuminating Modes concept in modal expansion of elliptical resonator
PublicationIn the paper an IlluminatingModes (IM) approach as an extension of Spectral Domain Approach (SDA) is presented. IM concept is applied to the case of open microstrip planar elliptical resonator. A modal expansion of currents induced in the structures during illuminating them by a single plane wave is the novelty of the method. As an example of application of the method, we present the results obtained by an examination of two resonators...

Thermal and Chemical Expansion in Proton Ceramic Electrolytes and Compatible Electrodes
PublicationThis review paper focuses on the phenomenon of thermochemical expansion of two specific categories of conducting ceramics: Proton Conducting Ceramics (PCC) and Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conductors (MIEC). The theory of thermal expansion of ceramics is underlined from microscopic to macroscopic points of view while the chemical expansion is explained based on crystallography and defect chemistry. Modelling methods are used to predict...

Impact of interface heterogeneity on joint fracture
PublicationThe effects of heterogeneities (weak zones in particular) inadhesive joints and their importance on overall fracture propertiesare relatively unknown, but doubtlessly they may be crucial inmany applications. Using a model heterogeneous adhesive bond,represented by a given mixture of regions of strong and weakadhesion, we have studied the influence of interface variabilityon overall fracture energy (global energy release rate)....

Container port expansion towards the sea in the context of maritime spatial planning
PublicationThe growth of ships causes a significant increase in demand for new port surfaces and demands for the depths of water bodies in the ports. Due to technological changes in the transshipment and development pressure ports lacks space and they move towards the sea with their activities. The paper discusses the reasons for the phenomenon of expansion of ports towards the sea and its effects on maritime spatial planning.

Asymptotic Expansion Method with Respect to Small Parameter for Ternary Diffusion Models
PublicationTernary diffusion models lead to strongly coupled systems of PDEs. We choose the smallest diffusion coefficient as a small parameter in a power series expansion whose components fulfill relatively simple equations. Although this series is divergent, one can use its finite sums to derive feasible numerical approximations, e.g. finite difference methods (FDMs).
