Automatyczna detekcja elementów asymetrii w dynamicznych mapach CBF perfuzji mózgowej
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2008) Hachaj, Roman
This paper presents a new algorithm that enables detection of asymmetry in dynamic CBF perfusion maps. In the first stage of the algorithm detection of symmetry axis of image (between left and right hemisphere) is performed. In the second stage the level of asymmetry in cerebral blood flow is measured by detection of regions with different perfusion in both brain hemispheres. The algorithm was tested on a set of 28 different images showing or not cerebral blood flow anomalies. The paper also describes the method for estimating cerebral blood flow with a non diffusing contrast agent based on the Meier-Zierler convolution model as well as CBF, CBV, MTT and TTP perfusion maps.

Techniques of neural networks for signal parameterization used in monitoring systems
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2008) Wszołek, Wiesław
The paper presents selected aspects of research concerning a new concept in application of computer technology to the analysis of acoustic signal. This new concept assumes, that during the analysis of signal the study is not focused on determining some or other signal parameters, neither it is focused on the signal classification, but it is supposed to lead to an automated understanding of the origins of the deformation, which can be revealed in analyzed signal.

High Energy Physics experiments in grid computing networks
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2008) Olszewski, Andrzej
The demand for computing resources used for detector simulations and data analysis in High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments is constantly increasing due to the development of studies of rare physics processes in partide interactions. The latest generation of experiments at the newly built LHC accelerator at CERN in Geneva is planning to use computing networks for their data processing needs. A Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) organization has been created to develop a Grid with properties matching the needs of these experiments. In this paper we present the use of Grid computing by HEP experiments and describe activities at the participating computing centers with the case of Academic Computing Center, ACK Cyfronet AGH, Kraków, Poland.

Hybrid model of the conventional power unit
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2008) Rusinowski, Henryk; Szapajko, Grzegorz; Stanek, Wojciech
The paper presents the hybrid model of the conventional power unit. The model contains following fragmentary models: model of the boiler, turbine and regenerative heat exchangers. Fragmentary models have been elaborated with the application of the analytical modelling methods, regression and neural networks. Hybrid model of the boiler contains balance model compatible with the German norm DIN and regressive models describing content of the unburnt combustibles in the slag and in the dust and the neural model describing the flue gases temperature at the outlet of the boiler. Model of the turbine contains balance model and theoretical-empirical model of the steam expansion line in the turbine. Models of the heat exchangers contain the balance and empirical models describing the heat transfer. The paper presents the exemplary calculation results and their comparison with the measurements.

Geologiczne uwarunkowania rewitalizacji i zagospodarowania tzw. »Białych Mórz« na terenach po byłych Krakowskich Zakładach Sodowych »Solvay«
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2008) Sroczyński, Wiesław
The »Białe Morza« in Kraków-Łagiewniki is an east part of post-industrial terrains after former »Solvay« Kraków Soda Works. From the thirties of 20. century to 1989 the soda wastes were stored, mainly sludge. Sludge was deposited on the sedimentary ponds in quantities equal 5 Mg. After primary land reclamation the settling tanks were in a stage of intrinsic regeneration and natural succession. That neglected terrains are recently a »tempting bite« for potential investors. Public function - building the John Paul II Centre »Be not afraid!« - is a new, basic destination of that terrains. In 2007 was made by an author and team a geological and engineering documentation for needs of local development plan. Basic limitations for urban solutions are: considerably changed topographic profile, complicated and disadvantageous geological and engineering conditions and environment pollution. In this article, history of land development, forms and mechanisms of anthropopression, geological, geotechnical and geoecological conditions are discussed. Reionisation of geological and engineering conditions for needs of forming a functional and spatial structure were presented.

Model algebraiczno-logiczny problemu planowania tras dostaw dla m komiwojażerów
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2008) Dutkiewicz, Lidia; Kucharska, Edyta
In the article a concept of algebraic-logical model for problem of planning delivery routes to multi-branch companies. This problem is a modification of the well-known m-TSP problem. The algebraic-logical model corresponds to a formal representation of a multistage decision process connected with simulation of a discrete process. There are presented: a state of the system, a set of goal states and a set of not-admissible states. For the current state of the system there are introduced some sets of system elements with analogous features, which are useful in defining other components of the system. There are also specified: a notion of the decision, a set of possible decisions and a set of admissible decisions. Components of the transition function are given: a method of identifying a moment of the next process state and a method of determining values of coordinates of the next state.

Ocena jakości wód podziemnych w rejonie składowania przemysłowych odpadów organicznych
(2008) Lewkiewicz-Małysa, Aleksandra; Konopka, Elżbieta
The influence of long-term deposition of organic waste on the quality of migrating groundwaters and propagation of specific pollutions is analyzed in the paper. Owing to the possible exploitation failures in the landfill design, toxic substances (pesticides) may get to the ground and water environment. Potential hazards necessitate checking how the chemical composition of groundwater changes over years. It is treated as a safety criterion of failure-free deposition of dangerous substances.

Formy polodowcowe atrakcją geoturystyczną Doliny Pięciu Stawów Polskich
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2008) Mrowczyk, Paulina; Madeja, Grzegorz; Doktor, Marek
Thirteen thousand years ago, at the end of the Würm glacial epoch deglaciation has started in the Five Ponds Valley of the Polish Tatras due to global warming episode. After retreat of glaciers numerous post-glacial, erosional and depositional landforms have been exposed: cirques, bowls and troughs, fossiled rock glaciers, roches mountonées and polished surfaces as well as moraines and proglacial channel. The aim of the following paper is to describe post-glacial forms in the valley as attractive geotouristic objects.

Badania podbudów wiertniczych
(2008) Artymiuk, Jan; Bednarz, Stanisław
Bearing constructions applied for drilling boreholes with rigs are most commonly frame structures consisting of rigs or drilling masts. Their main bearing elements - shears - are deposited on foundation beams in the foundation plates in the ground or the subbase. In such a system the subbase is a basis for the rig and mast. The height of such a construction in the form of a cubicoid framework enables assemblying devices protecting the drilling well's outlet. In operating conditions, the structure undergoes numerous loads, frequently exceeding those in the rig and mast. Hence much attention is paid to the construction of subbases as it is a guarantee of safe operation of the rig.

(2008) Duşe, Dan Maniu; Duşe, Carmen; Deac, Cristian
CELGAS - an acronym for "Conventional & e-Learning Gas Engineering Centre" is a Leonardo da Vinci Vocational Training Action Programme unfolded by several education institutions and research centres from Poland, Germany, Romania and Slovakia, under the coordination of the University of Mining and Metallurgy of Cracow, between December 2005 and December 2007. The programme's objectives are aligned to the cooperation between the European Union and Central and Eastern European universities and research companies, as well as to the vocational training area involved in the domain of natural gases. The primary objective of this programme is to create a network capable of providing education and training to engineers from the gas industry so as to encourage ongoing adaptation of skills to meet the needs of workers and companies, contribute to reducing unemployment and facilitate personal development.
