A Group-Permutation Algorithm To Solve The Generalized Sudoku, Florentin Smarandache Jun 2011

A Group-Permutation Algorithm To Solve The Generalized Sudoku, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Sudoku can be generalized to squares whose dimensions are n^2 × n^2 , where n ≥ 2, using various symbols (numbers, letters, mathematical symbols, etc.), written just one time on each row and on each column; and the large square is divided into n 2 small squares with the side n × n and each will contain all n 2 symbols written only once. In this paper we present an elementary solution for the generalized sudoku based on a group-permutation algorithm.


Finding The Beat In Music: Using Adaptive Oscillators, Kate M. Burgers May 2011

Finding The Beat In Music: Using Adaptive Oscillators, Kate M. Burgers

HMC Senior Theses

The task of finding the beat in music is simple for most people, but surprisingly difficult to replicate in a robot. Progress in this problem has been made using various preprocessing techniques (Hitz 2008; Tomic and Janata 2008). However, a real-time method is not yet available. Methods using a class of oscillators called relay relaxation oscillators are promising. In particular, systems of forced Hopf oscillators (Large 2000; Righetti et al. 2006) have been used with relative success. This work describes current methods of beat tracking and develops a new method that incorporates the best ideas from each existing method and …


Regularization Schemes For The Real Time Spatial Management Of Pelagic Longline Fisheries, Kyle Egerdal Jan 2011

Regularization Schemes For The Real Time Spatial Management Of Pelagic Longline Fisheries, Kyle Egerdal

Summer Research

Pelagic bycatch, or the catching of unwanted ocean fish, is an issue that managers of modern-day fishing operations are seeking to ameliorate. Using the relative fish prevalence at various temperature levels, we developed a habitat climatology allowing visualization of the expected distribution of the bycatch species throughout the fishing season. These distributions were used to allocate fishing zones such that only fisherman with catch quotas are able to fish in areas where bycatch is likely. Through both real and theoretical ocean temperature data, we explored the costs and benefits of many methods for allocating these fishing zones. The results of …

The present paper presents the analysis of heat transfer in a gas-gas heat exchanger operated in a heat-recirculating mode.


An Overview Of Technologies For Upgrading Of Biogas To Biomethane, Wojciech M. Budzianowski Jan 2011

An Overview Of Technologies For Upgrading Of Biogas To Biomethane, Wojciech M. Budzianowski

Wojciech Budzianowski

The present contribution presents an overview of technologies available for upgrading of biogas to biomethane. Technologies under study include pressure swing adsorption (PSA), high-pressure water wash (HPWW), reactive absorption (RA), physical absorption (PA), membrane separation (MS) and cryogenic separation (CS).


Influence Of Energy Policy On The Rate Of Implementation Of Biogas Power Plants In Germany During The 2001-2010 Decade, Izabela Chasiak, Wojciech M. Budzianowski Jan 2011

Influence Of Energy Policy On The Rate Of Implementation Of Biogas Power Plants In Germany During The 2001-2010 Decade, Izabela Chasiak, Wojciech M. Budzianowski

Wojciech Budzianowski

The current article describes energy policy tools, which caused intensive development of biogas-based power generation in Germany during the 2001-2010 decade. The German system of financial support to biogas power plants is presented in details. It is shown that in Germany, i.e. in a country characterised by similar climate and potentials to renewable energy to Poland, biogas power plants cover 10,7% of electricity demands in 2010, while all renewable energy sources cover only 5,4% of electricity demands. It is emphasised that under favourable Polish energy policy, the development of biogas energy can be very rapid.
