The household sector in Poland consumes more than 25% of final energy.At the same time, residents reported dissatisfaction with the thermal conditions during the summer months.This paper details the search for passive and energy-efficient solutions to improve thermal comfort in Polish dwellings.A five-story, multi-family building was Poly V Belt se

Object movie refers to a set of images captured from different perspectives around a 3D object.Object movie provides a good representation of a physical object because it can provide 3D interactive viewing effect, but does not require 3D model reconstruction.In this paper, we propose an efficient approach for content-based object movie retrieval.I

Self-organized robots may develop attracting states within the sensorimotor loop, that is within the phase space of neural activity, body and environmental variables.Fixpoints, limit cycles and chaotic attractors correspond in this setting to a non-moving robot, to directed, and to irregular locomotion respectively.Short higher-order control comman

Polylactic acid (PLA)/linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) blend nanocomposites based on two different commercial-grade nanoclays, Cloisite® 30B and Cloisite® 15A, were produced via different melt mixing procedures in a counter-rotating twin screw extruder.The effects of mixing sequence and clay type on morphological and rheological be

Abstract We characterise in detail the larval and pupal cuticle of the black soldier fly Hermetia illucens L.(Diptera: Stratiomyidae), a key insect species in circular economy.In particular, we focus on ultrastructure using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, material characterization and composition (elements and minerals) with confocal
