Publication Name: Acta Juridica Hungarica

Publication Date: 2015-03-01

Volume: 56

Issue: 1

Page Range: 30-38

Description:

In 2014 there were three elections in Hungary: the election of Members of Parliaments, the election of members of the European Parliament, furthermore, the elections of representatives and mayors of municipalities and of representatives of national minority local self-governments. The Hungarian Parliament passed a new act on electoral procedure in 2013 and we have had a new Criminal Code since 2012. This study examines a new legal institution, the recommendation sheets, which raise many questions, including criminal liability. The main theme of the study is the misuses related to recommendation sheets.

Potential of Producing Green Hydrogen Using Solar Power Plants: The Role of PEM Technology in the Improvement of Photovoltaic Schedule Keeping in Hungary

Henrik Zsiboracs Nóra Hegedűsné Baranyai András Vincze Virag Meszaros Gábor Pintér

Publication Name: Chemical Engineering Transactions

Publication Date: 2024-01-01

Volume: 114

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 925-930

Description:

Similarly to many countries of the world, photovoltaic systems play an increasingly important role in electricity generation in Hungary, contributing greatly to the climate, environmental and sustainability goals of the energy transition. As a result of numerous factors, photovoltaic technology is used not only more and more widely but also in increasingly decisive quantities and proportions. Due to the intermittent nature of solar energy, photovoltaic generation varies both in space and over time and consequently poses a serious challenge to system management, especially due to dynamically developing capacities. The imbalances caused by uncertainty cannot be addressed by scheduling alone without the possibility of energy storage, which, with its numerous services and applications, is able to provide the flexibility necessary for the smooth operation of the system. Among the available energy storage systems, power-to-gas technology (i.e. converting electricity produced from renewable energy sources into a gaseous energy carrier) is emerging as a practical solution with high potential for the integration of variable renewable energy sources. The gas produced in this way, which can be stored and transported, can be used in many areas and sectors of energy use, such as transport, home heating and cooling and industrial processes, and can now also provide an effective solution for grid stability and scheduling. The aim of the present research is to present the potential amount of green hydrogen that can be produced by proton-exchange membrane technology (PEM) in connection with schedule-related downregulation, considering the climatic conditions and the total photovoltaic power plant capacity in Hungary. The novel, practical benefit of the research lies in the fact that it determines practically relevant characteristics in relation to the interconnections of solar power plants in Hungary and power-to-gas technology for transmission system operators, the key players of the energy market and decision-makers. This knowledge will not only help companies investing in solar power plants and power-to-gas technology from an economic point of view but can also contribute to the market-related development of hydrogen production solutions related to photovoltaic technology. Overall, P2G offers the ideal potential to convert the electricity produced by solar power plants that need to be downregulated, i.e. comprises a surplus in terms of scheduling, into green hydrogen, which is also suitable for long-term seasonal storage.

Drop performance of dangerous goods packages in the aspect of parcel delivery standards

Ákos Mojzes Kata Vöröskoi Thomas Trost

Publication Name: 21st Iapri World Conference on Packaging 2018 Packaging Driving A Sustainable Future

Publication Date: 2019-01-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 569-577

Description:

Requirements for dangerous goods packaging are well known, whatever version are used. The testing circumstances are strictly defined for each transportation method (road, rail, air, sea). But nowadays it is becoming a practice that courier express operators transport dangerous goods as single package. This parcel delivery method means a higher risk for all kind of logistics participants. By this service the packages are delivered fast, but handled more roughly than in comparison to LTL (less than truckload) or FTL (full truck load). Naturally, the parcel delivery sector uses its own suitability testing methods, which are also well defined. These procedures are coming from various standards such as ASTM, ISTA or corporate (FedEx) standards. This paper compares the most common parcel delivery testing conditions concerning the drop test requirements of DGR (Dangerous Goods Regulation) using packaging such as paper bag, corrugated fibreboard box, steel drum and plastic jerrycan, respectively. Then the test results were analyzed to present the differences.

Publication Date: 2019-01-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 1210-1217

Description:

A simple beam element based modelling technique has been developed which makes possible to analyze frames made of I sections with column-rafter bolted end-plate connections, subject to 3D loads, compatible with the thin walled beam theory with 7DOF beam elements. The model previously developed by the same team for welded connections has been ex-tended with the addition of linear spring elements to model the bolts located at the upper and lower beam flange level. The spring stiffnesses are calculated based on the extension of the Eurocode component method and verified by simulations performed with FEA software Abaqus.

Single-stroke character recognition with fuzzy method

János Botzheim A. Tormási

Publication Name: Studies in Computational Intelligence

Publication Date: 2013-01-01

Volume: 417

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 27-46

Description:

In this paper an on-line single-stroke recognition method based on fuzzy logic is introduced. Each of the characters is defined by only one nine dimensional fuzzy rule. In addition to the low resource requirement the solution is able to satisfy many of the user's current demands in handwriting recognizers, like speed and learning. Eight of the nine features are extracted using a four-by-four grid. For the learning phase we designed a new punish/reward bacterial evolutionary algorithm which tunes the character parameters represented by fuzzy sets. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Calculation of Heating of Reinforced Concrete Tunnel Wall During Fire

Éva Lublóy Zoltán Major János Szép

Publication Name: Advances in Transdisciplinary Engineering

Publication Date: 2024-01-01

Volume: 59

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 366-374

Description:

In this article, we present the thermal parameters of reinforced concrete tunnel lining materials and their changes during fire exposure. After describing the material properties, we present a test method to investigate the heating of reinforced concrete tunnel linings. As the presented method can only be considered as partially standard, we validate it on the basis of the available literature and our Excel program based on the presented theory. During the validation, it has been demonstrated that the method is suitable for solving practical professional tasks and that it is able to provide sufficiently accurate results. Since the results presented can be used not only for design purposes but also as an initial step in fire diagnostics to determine the extent of damage in fire-loaded tunnel walls, we also construct novel curves for the analysis of reinforced concrete walls, which can be used effectively for fire curves with cooling phase, where the accumulated temperature inside the wall further heats the zones inside and further residual strength loss may occur due to chemical processes in the zones. Based on the results of the model presented in this paper, designers can take into account the changes in the temperature distribution of the reinforced concrete tunnel wall, which have a decisive influence on the evolution of the internal forces due to external influences, and can calculate the magnitude of the stresses due to inhibited thermal expansion by using approximate models.

Novel Pure-Pursuit Trajectory Following Approaches and their Practical Applications

Csaba Hajdu Ernő Horváth Péter Kőrös

Publication Name: 10th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2019 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2019-10-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 597-602

Description:

Pure-pursuit algorithm is a popular trajectory tracking algorithm, widely used in mobile robotics and vehicular control for numerous reasons. The operation is simple and straightforward as it depends only on the kinematic model of the target mechanical system. The algorithm can be tuned by choosing look-Ahead distance of points of the reference trajectory. On the other hand, pure-pursuit suffers from weaknesses highly attributed to improper selection of look-Ahead distance, resulting in poor tracking performance. Recent developments focused on overcoming this drawback by dynamical change of this parameter. In this paper, we propose three enhancements to the original pure-pursuit algorithm, aiming to handle dynamic selection of look-Ahead distance by selecting multiple goals, modifying look-Ahead distance according to the curvatures and adjusting lateral deviation. Our work was motivated by an ongoing autonomous vehicle research at our university.

Advanced Examination Systems: Applying Fuzzy Logic and Machine Learning Methods in Education

Eniko Nagy Karl Eva Gyorgy Molnar

Publication Name: Iccc 2025 IEEE 12th International Joint Conference on Cybernetics and Computational Cybernetics Cyber Medical Systems Proceedings

Publication Date: 2025-01-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 231-235

Description:

In our paper, we present an innovative educational assessment system that attempts to overcome the limitations of traditional educational evaluation methods by applying machine learning, artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, and advanced mathematical techniques. This system can provide a more objective and personalized assessment of students' knowledge. Current examination systems in educational institutions are outdated and do not meet modern societal and technological requirements. A central element of the system is the application of fuzzy logic, which allows for handling uncertainties in knowledge assessment. Using the FP-growth algorithm and the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (AHP) aids in optimizing the evaluation process and enables a more profound analysis of students' performance. During the system's development, we aim to adaptively manage the difficulty level of questions, taking into account students' prior performance and individual capabilities. The study highlights the security risks and efficiency issues of current 'manual' question compilation methods. The new system aims to minimize these risks while improving the quality of education and reducing the workload of educators.

Description:

The transformative potential of blockchain technology in the renewable energy sector is increasingly gaining recognition for its capacity to enhance energy efficiency, enable decentralized trading, and ensure transaction transparency. However, despite its growing importance, there exists a significant knowledge gap in the holistic understanding of its integration and impact within this sector. Addressing this gap, the current study employs a pioneering approach, marking it as the first comprehensive bibliometric analysis in this field. We have systematically examined 390 journal articles from the Web of Science database, covering the period from 2017 through the end of February 2024, to map the current landscape and thematic trajectories of blockchain technology in renewable energy. The findings highlight several critical thematic areas, including blockchain's integration with smart grids, its role in electric vehicle integration, and its application in sustainable urban energy systems. These themes not only illustrate the diverse applications of blockchain but also its substantial potential to revolutionize energy systems. This study not only fills a crucial gap in existing literature but also sets a precedent for future interdisciplinary research in this domain, bridging theoretical insights with practical applications to fully harness the potential of blockchain in the renewable energy sector.
