Continued Fractions of Square Roots of Natural Numbers
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)In this paper, we will first summarize known results concerning continued fractions. Then we will limit our consideration to continued fractions of quadratic numbers. The second author describes periods and sometimes the ... -
Developing Control and Monitoring Software for the Data Acquisition System of the COMPASS Experiment at CERN
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)This paper focuses on the analysis, design and development of software for the new data acquisition system of the COMPASS experiment at CERN. In this system, the data flow is controlled by custom hardware; the software ... -
Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete for Tunnel Lining – Verification by Extensive Laboratory Testing and Numerical Modelling
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)The use of precast steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) for tunnel segments is a relatively new application of this material. It was first applied in Italy in the 1980s. However, it did not begin to be widely applied ... -
Algorithms for Solving Darcian Flow in Structured Porous Media
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)This paper presents several algorithms that were implemented in DRUtES [1], a new open source project. DRUtES is a finite element solver for coupled nonlinear parabolic problems, namely the Richards equation with the dual ... -
On an Algorithm for Multiperiodic Words
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)We consider an algorithm by Tijdeman and Zamboni constructing a word of length k thathas periods p1, . . . , pr, and the richest possible alphabet. We show that this algorithm can be easilystated and its correctness briefly ... -
The Effect of Kaolin Concentration on Flock Growth Kinetics in an Agitated Tank
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)This paper reports on an investigation of the effect of initial solid particle concentrationon flock growth and flock shape characterized by the fractal dimension Df2. The experiments werecarried out in a baffled tank ... -
Application of Portable Force Platforms Equipped with a Device for Measuring Position and Orientation
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)With the development of modern technology for studying the movements of the human body, a large number of new measurement techniques are being applied. However, a complex and expensive device is not always the best one for ... -
The Impact of Active Conductors on Czech and Hungarian Lightning Protection Legislation
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)This paper summarizes the developmental conditions for the emergence of protection against lightning. It reviews the legislation especially in the Czech Republic over the last 15 years, and its application for active ... -
Particle Dynamics in the RMP Ergodic Layer under the Influence of Edge Plasma Turbulence
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)The complex processes in edge tokamak plasma are affected (among others) both by resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) and by plasma turbulence. RMP is nowadays considered to be a candidate for the mitigation of the ... -
The Effect of Strain Rate on the Mechanical Properties of Automotive Steel Sheets
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)The automotive industry is currently seeking detailed information about various types of materials and their behavior under dynamic loading. Dynamic tensile testing of sheet steels is growing in importance. The experimental ... -
Adhesive Bonding of Aluminium Alloy A5754 by Epoxy Resins
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2013)Joining thin sheets of aluminium and its alloys is a promising area in the field of joining materials. Nowadays, joining methods that do not melt the material itself are increasingly being utilised. This paper deals with ...
