Determination Of Kinetic Parameters From The Thermogravimetric Data Set Of Biomass Samples, Karol Postawa, Wojciech M. Budzianowski Dec 2012

Determination Of Kinetic Parameters From The Thermogravimetric Data Set Of Biomass Samples, Karol Postawa, Wojciech M. Budzianowski

Wojciech Budzianowski

This article describes methods of the determination of kinetic parameters from the thermogravimetric data set of biomass samples. It presents the methodology of the research, description of the needed equipment, and the method of analysis of thermogravimetric data. It describes both methodology of obtaining quantitative data such as kinetic parameters as well as of obtaining qualitative data like the composition of biomass. The study is focused mainly on plant biomass because it is easy in harvesting and preparation. Methodology is shown on the sample containing corn stover which is subsequently pyrolysed. The investigated sample show the kinetic of first order …


Novel Constructions Of Improved Square Complex Orthogonal Designs For Eight Transmit Antennas, Le Chung Tran, Tadeusz Wysocki, Jennifer Seberry, Alfred Mertins, Sarah Adams Dec 2012

Novel Constructions Of Improved Square Complex Orthogonal Designs For Eight Transmit Antennas, Le Chung Tran, Tadeusz Wysocki, Jennifer Seberry, Alfred Mertins, Sarah Adams

Dr Le Chung Tran

Constructions of square, maximum rate complex orthogonal space-time block codes (CO STBCs) are well known, however codes constructed via the known methods include numerous zeros, which impede their practical implementation. By modifying the Williamson and Wallis-Whiteman arrays to apply to complex matrices, we propose two methods of construction of square, order-4n CO STBCs from square, order-n codes which satisfy certain properties. Applying the proposed methods, we construct square, maximum rate, order-8 CO STBCs with no zeros, such that the transmitted symbols are equally dispersed through transmit antennas. Those codes, referred to as the improved square CO STBCs, have the advantages …


On An Orthogonal Space-Time-Polarization Block Code, Beata Wysocki, Tadeusz Wysocki, Sarah Adams Jul 2012

On An Orthogonal Space-Time-Polarization Block Code, Beata Wysocki, Tadeusz Wysocki, Sarah Adams

Sarah Spence Adams

Over the past several years, diversity methods such as space, time, and polarization diversity have been successfully implemented in wireless communications systems. Orthogonal space-time block codes efficiently combine space and time diversity, and they have been studied in detail. Polarization diversity has also been studied, however it is usually considered in a simple concatenation with other coding methods. In this paper, an efficient method for incorporating polarization diversity with space and time diversity is studied. The simple yet highly efficient technique is based on extending orthogonal space-time block codes into the quaternion domain and utilizing a description of the dual-polarized …

An Extension Of The Channel-Assignment Problem: L(2, 1)-Labelings Of Generalized Petersen Graphs, Sarah Adams, Jonathan Cass, Denise Troxell Jul 2012

An Extension Of The Channel-Assignment Problem: L(2, 1)-Labelings Of Generalized Petersen Graphs, Sarah Adams, Jonathan Cass, Denise Troxell

Sarah Spence Adams

The channel-assignment problem involves assigning frequencies represented by nonnegative integers to radio transmitters such that transmitters in close proximity receive frequencies that are sufficiently far apart to avoid interference. In one of its variations, the problem is commonly quantified as follows: transmitters separated bythe smallest unit distance must be assigned frequencies that are at least two apart and transmitters separated by twice the smallest unit distance must be assigned frequencies that are at least one apart. Naturally, thischannel-assignment problem can be modeled with vertex labelings of graphs. An L(2, 1)-labeling of a graph G is a function f from the …


Quaternion Orthogonal Designs From Complex Companion Designs, Sarah Adams, Jennifer Seberry, Nathaniel Karst, Jonathan Pollack, Tadeusz Wysocki Jul 2012

Quaternion Orthogonal Designs From Complex Companion Designs, Sarah Adams, Jennifer Seberry, Nathaniel Karst, Jonathan Pollack, Tadeusz Wysocki

Sarah Spence Adams

The success of applying generalized complex orthogonal designs as space–time block codes recently motivated the definition of quaternion orthogonal designs as potential building blocks for space–time-polarization block codes. This paper offers techniques for constructing quaternion orthogonal designs via combinations of specially chosen complex orthogonal designs. One technique is used to build quaternion orthogonal designs on complex variables for any even number of columns. A second related technique is applied to maximum rate complex orthogonal designs to generate an infinite family of quaternion orthogonal designs on complex variables such that the resulting designs have no zero entries. This second technique is …


The Final Case Of The Decoding Delay Problem For Maximum Rate Complex Orthogonal Designs, Sarah Adams, Nathaniel Karst, Mathav Murugan Jul 2012

The Final Case Of The Decoding Delay Problem For Maximum Rate Complex Orthogonal Designs, Sarah Adams, Nathaniel Karst, Mathav Murugan

Sarah Spence Adams

Complex orthogonal space-time block codes (COSTBCs) based on generalized complex orthogonal designs (CODs) have been successfully implemented in wireless systems with multiple transmit antennas and single or multiple receive antennas. It has been shown that for a maximum rate COD with 2m-1 or 2m columns, a lower bound on decoding delay is (m-1 2m) and this delay is achievable when the number of columns is congruent to 0, 1 , or 3 modulo 4. In this paper, the final case is addressed, and it is shown that when the number of columns is congruent to 2 modulo 4, the lower …


Optimal Synthesis Of Mite Translinear Loops, Shyam Subramanian, David Anderson, Paul Hasler, Bradley Minch Jul 2012

Optimal Synthesis Of Mite Translinear Loops, Shyam Subramanian, David Anderson, Paul Hasler, Bradley Minch

Bradley Minch

A procedure for synthesizing multiple-input translinear element (MITE) networks that implement a given system of translinear-loop equations (STLE) is presented. The minimum number of MITEs required for implementing the STLE, which is equal to the number of current variables in the STLE, is attained. The number of input gates ofthe MITEs is minimal amongst those MITE networks that satisfy the STLE and have the minimum number of MITEs. The synthesized MITE networks have a unique operating point and, in many cases, the network is guaranteed to be stable in a particular sense. This synthesis procedure exploits the relationship between MITEproduct-of-power-law …


Hydrogen Production From Biogas By Oxy-Reforming: Reaction System Analysis, Aleksandra Terlecka, Wojciech M. Budzianowski Dec 2011

Hydrogen Production From Biogas By Oxy-Reforming: Reaction System Analysis, Aleksandra Terlecka, Wojciech M. Budzianowski

Wojciech Budzianowski

Oxy-reforming is emerging as an interesting alternative to conventional methods of hydrogen generation. The current article characterises this process through analysis of individual reactions: SMR (steam methane reforming), WGS (water gas shift) and CPO (catalytic partial oxidation). Analyses relate to optimisation of thermal conditions thus enabling cost-effectivenes of the process.
