Page Range: 143-168

Description:

The remarkable social urban rehabilitation effort of the Gyor Municipality which has recently been implemented and is currently in progress led to the considerable development of Gyor-Újváros, not only in the renewal of the actual built environment but also in the social improvement of the inhabitants. In our study we will look at the Gyor urban development project in three dimensions. First we explore its feasibility. Why is it Újváros that needed rehabilitation? Strategic documents and relating statistics prove the choice feasible: it is the place where the most significant segregation can be found in Gyor that needed intervention. Secondly, we analyse the intervention of the urban development. What were the changes, how did they affect the built heritage and the social status of the inhabitants of the area? Based on the available documents and reports we can state that significant results were achieved both concerning the built heritage and social adjustment and development. In the framework of empiric research, we examine through comparative analysis the conditions before and after the rehabilitation taking into consideration two aspects (modification of hard infrastructure and the modification of the soft factors) and 7 allocated indicators (I.1. Number of flats, I2 Number of businesses, I3. Level of convenience, I4. Surface area of the flats, I5. Rent prices, I6. Applicants receiving regular support, I7. Applicant receiving temporary support). Data are available partly from the feasibility study and partly from the data services of the Gyor Municipality. Result show that regarding several factors, rehabilitation had a positive effect in the neighbourhood. As a result of the rehabilitation the built environment has gone through significant improvement in case of six blocks of flats. The number of businesses for rent has increased, the convenience level of flats has changed positively too, as all flats have all modern conveniences and in most cases the surface area has also risen, thus providing better housing. Parallel to this the social status of the inhabitants living in this area has also improved as both the regular and temporary applicant receiving support has dropped significantly. Due to rehabilitation the rents have tripled after renovation which can be put down to the significant rise in standards.

Sustainable travel to school programs in Hungary Role of Pedibus and Bicibus pilot programs today

Petra Kinga Kézai

Publication Name: Civil Szemle

Publication Date: 2024-03-21

Volume: 21

Issue: 1

Page Range: 71-88

Description:

In the context of modern urban development, various socio-technical innovations have proliferated in response to urban challenges, offering well-defined solutions. Since the 1970s, the so-called ‚backseat generation’, a group of children whose parents drive them to school every day, has emerged in developed countries, particularly in urban areas. This phenomenon has many negative effects on children, the environment and urban spaces. The present study addresses the issue of urban transport management, in particular the issue of daily school transport. It aims to present, based on literature analysis, good international examples, such as the pedibus and the bicycle bus, which emphasise local values and resources in the light of the ‚slow city’ concept. The study concludes with a presentation and evaluation of the pilot programmes (Pedibus in Gödöllő and Bicibus in Pécs) that have also become established in Hungary in recent years. These programmes offer a supervised, safe, group-based solution for school children and their families to go to school, and build community between different generations.

Embedded System Simulation for Electrical Hardware Test Virtualization

Istvan Szalay Ferenc Péter Speiser Denes Fodor

Publication Name: Chemical Engineering Transactions

Publication Date: 2024-01-01

Volume: 114

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 799-804

Description:

In the automotive industry, the reduction of development costs has a key importance. Also, the duration of the development is a significant aspect. Electrical hardware development is an expensive, time-consuming process with a lot of development stages (e.g., prototypes, electrical tests, mechanical tests, lifecycle tests). Virtualization is an important factor in making electrical component development more sustainable; using this method, less prototype manufacturing is necessary since the simulations make it faster and more effective to find out a large portion of possible faults without building a hardware prototype. The main goal of the paper is to explore the capabilities of seven software solutions that can manage the virtualization of the electrical development toolchain. The simulation environment should manage the simulation of the electrical circuit, including the sensors and loads, the microcontroller, and the execution and debugging of the uploaded program code. The study provides guidance on choosing the proper simulator depending on the simulation focus.

Accuracy of the robust design analysis for the flux barrier modelling of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor

Miklós Kuczmann Mihaly Katona Tamas Orosz

Publication Name: Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics

Publication Date: 2023-09-01

Volume: 429

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Mass-produced electrical machines are subjected to manufacturing uncertainties in terms of geometry. A robust design is inevitable to ensure the consistent performance of the electric motor. Some parts of the rotor geometry are often simplified, like the flux barrier at the end of the magnets. This paper presents a design optimisation regarding the torque ripple and the average torque. The aim is to assess the effects of the flux barrier on the main properties of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. Also, robust design analysis is presented on the flux barrier. The computational burden of the robust design analysis is immense, even if uniform uncertainties are assumed. In this case, different Design of Experiment (DoE) methods reduce the number of simulations. The efficiency of the DoE methods is compared in terms of simulation number and extreme value approximation. We found that the Central Composite method is the most accurate, while the Plackett–Burman is the most efficient in this particular case.

Remarks on the genus Phymatodiscus Berlese, 1917, with the description of Phymatodiscidae fam. nov. and Bardizon eotvosi gen. nov., sp. nov. from Indonesia (Acari, Mesostigmata)

Sergey G. Ermilov Jenő Kontschán

Publication Name: Zookeys

Publication Date: 2023-01-01

Volume: 1182

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 223-235

Description:

Phymatodiscidae fam. nov. is diagnosed, with Phymatodiscus as the type genus. A new genus, Bardizon gen. nov., with Bardizon eotvosi sp. nov. (from Indonesia) as the type species, is erected to accommodate the Phymatodiscus species with an eye-like dorsal depression. Six Phymatodiscus species are reclassified as Bardizon: B. aokii (Hiramatsu, 1985), comb. nov., B. haradai (Hiramatsu, 1985), comb. nov., B. oculatus (Hirschmann, 1977), comb. nov., B. kuni (Kontschán & Starý, 2011), comb. nov., B. insolitus (Kontschán & Ripka, 2016), comb. nov., and B. malayicus (Kontschán & Starý, 2012), comb. nov. The new species differs from the previously described congeners in the sculptural pattern, the shapes of the dorsal and ventral setae, and the sculptural pattern of the sternal shield of the male and the genital shield of the female. A list of all known phymatodiscid species is presented. Phymatodiscus titanicus (Berlese, 1905) is moved to the genus Bostocktrachys: B. titanicus (Berlese, 1905), comb. nov. (family Trachyuropodidae).

Influence of cryogenic attrition ball milling on the particle size of microcrystalline cellulose at different moisture contents

Zsolt András Nánási Hajnalka Hargitai László Mészáros

Publication Name: Materials Science Forum

Publication Date: 2017-01-01

Volume: 885

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 202-207

Description:

In this study the effect of attrition ball milling on cellulose particle size distribution was studied. The effect of moisture content of cellulose and grinding time were examined and grinding was carried out at room temperature and under cryogenic conditions, as well. The grinds obtained were studied with electron microscope, and the characteristic dimensions of ground particles were determined using image processing software. Results revealed that effective size decrease of cellulose particles was achieved at low moisture content at room temperature, while under cryogenic conditions high moisture content was necessary, i.e. frozen moisture enhances grinding efficiency in the latter case.

Nikolett Fecser

Publication Name: Periodica Polytechnica Transportation Engineering

Publication Date: 2019-01-01

Volume: 47

Issue: 3

Page Range: 220-224

Description:

For the safe operation of pumps, it is essential to examine the operation parameters. Operation deviating from the operational parameters defined by the manufacturers would damage the pumps. The majority of specialists who are experts at pump technology and fluid mechanics are familiar with cavitation and aware of its detrimental effects. Firstly, in my study I will briefly present the cavitation as a phenomenon taking place during operation and its counting method. Then I state the results of our measurements carried out during the operation of a pump built in a system type Nocchi CB8038T. My goal is to call the attention to the proper way of the operation of centrifugal pumps, the cavitation generated during operation as a harmful phenomenon and its development examined in practice by us.

Influencing household location decision making: Potential in transportation management?

Bertalan Gaal

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 171-174

Description:

Housing location decision is basic information for transportation modeling. As the basis of trip generation its modelling is quite well-studied. These models are based on economic theories and assume the knowledge of a broad range of decisive information. At the same time people tend to make decision knowing far less information using heuristics. Utilizing this decision making process the question arises: providing more detailed, easily accessible information do people make more rational decision? And further considering: providing these information could we influence decision making to match with the objectives of regional development and transportation management?
