Algorithms for Automatic Label Placement

Práce popisuje problém automatického umísťování popisků do mapy. Jednotlivé bodové, čárové a plošné objekty v mapě je třeba označit odpovídajícími textovými či obrázkovými popisky. Tyto popisky je nutné rozmístit tak, aby se vzájemně nepřekrývaly a zároveň byly jasně přiřaditelné k odpovídajícím objektům. O problému je známo, že je NP-těžký a nalezení optimálního rozmístění všech popisků je výpočetně velmi náročné i pro nejjednodušší mapy. Pozornost je věnována umísťování popisků označujících bodové a čárové objekty, včetně prvního kroku obnášejícího přípravu možných pozic pro umístění těchto popisků, při dodržení běžných kartografických pravidel pro rozmísťování popisků. Následně jsou na problém aplikovány tři různé druhy algoritmů -- greedy ("hladové") algoritmy v kombinaci s lokálním prohledáváním, matematická optimalizace (v podobě 0-1 celočíselného programování) a genetické algoritmy. Popsané algoritmy jsou v softwarové části práce implementovány a na závěr porovnány na několika různých datových sadách, vycházejících z reálných geografických podkladů a z náhodně vygenerovaných map. Závěrečné srovnání se zaměřuje na kvalitu výsledného rozmístění (dle metrik definovaných v práci), času potřebnému k nalezení řešení a také na determinističnost daných algoritmů.Thesis describes the problem of automatic map label placement. Various point, line or area features in maps must be marked with matching text or graphic labels. These labels have to be placed so they do not overlap with each other and they are clearly associable with corresponding map features. The problem is known to be NP-hard and finding optimal positions of all map labels is highly computationally expensive, even for the simplest maps. Focus is given to the placement of labels describing point and line map features, including the initial phase of enumerating possible label positions, respecting the basic cartographic rules common for those labels. Afterwards, three different algorithm types are applied to the problem itself -- greedy algorithms (in combination with local search optimization), mathematical optimization (0-1 integer programming) and genetic algorithms. Ultimately, the described algorithms are implemented in the software part of the work and compared on various data sets, based on both real world geographical data and randomly generated maps. The final comparison focuses especially on the quality of the result (scored by the metrics defined in the thesis), time needed to find the solution and determinism of the given algorithms

Enhanced tubes for steam condensers. Volume 1, Summary of condensation and fouling; Volume 2, Detailed study of steam condensation

Electric utility steam condensers typically use plain tubes made of titanium, stainless steel, or copper alloys. Approximately two-thirds of the total thermal resistance is on the water side of the plain tube. This program seeks to conceive and develop a tube geometry that has special enhancement geometries on the tube (water) side and the steam (shell) side. This ``enhanced`` tube geometry, will provide increased heat transfer coefficients. The enhanced tubes will allow the steam to condense at a lower temperature. The reduced condensing temperature will reduce the turbine heat rate, and increase the plant peak load capability. Water side fouling and fouling control is a very important consideration affecting the choice of the tube side enhancement. Hence, we have consciously considered fouling potential in our selection of the tube side surface geometry. Using appropriate correlations and theoretical models, we have designed condensation and water side surface geometries that will provide high performance and be cleanable using sponge ball cleaning. Commercial tube manufacturers have made the required tube geometries for test purposes. The heat transfer test program includes measurement of the condensation and water side heat transfer coefficients. Fouling tests are being run to measure the waterside fouling resistance, and to the test the ability of the sponge ball cleaning system to clean the tubes

Micro Cooling, Heating, and Power (Micro-CHP) and Bio-Fuel Center, Mississippi State University

Initially, most micro-CHP systems will likely be designed as constant-power output or base-load systems. This implies that at some point the power requirement will not be met, or that the requirement will be exceeded. Realistically, both cases will occur within a 24-hour period. For example, in the United States, the base electrical load for the average home is approximately 2 kW while the peak electrical demand is slightly over 4 kW. If a 3 kWe micro- CHP system were installed in this situation, part of the time more energy will be provided than could be used and for a portion of the time more energy will be required than could be provided. Jalalzadeh-Azar [6] investigated this situation and presented a comparison of electrical- and thermal-load-following CHP systems. In his investigation he included in a parametric analysis addressing the influence of the subsystem efficiencies on the total primary energy consumption as well as an economic analysis of these systems. He found that an increase in the efficiencies of the on-site power generation and electrical equipment reduced the total monthly import of electricity. A methodology for calculating performance characteristics of different micro-CHP system components will be introduced in this article. Thermodynamic cycles are used to model each individual prime mover. The prime movers modeled in this article are a spark-ignition internal combustion engine (Otto cycle) and a diesel engine (Diesel cycle). Calculations for heat exchanger, absorption chiller, and boiler modeling are also presented. The individual component models are then linked together to calculate total system performance values. Performance characteristics that will be observed for each system include maximum fuel flow rate, total monthly fuel consumption, and system energy (electrical, thermal, and total) efficiencies. Also, whether or not both the required electrical and thermal loads can sufficiently be accounted for within the system specifications is observed. Case study data for various micro-CHP system configurations have been discussed and compared. Comparisons are made of the different prime mover/fuel combinations. Also, micro- CHP monthly energy cost results are compared for each system configuration to conventional monthly utility costs for equivalent monthly building power, heating, and cooling requirements

Geo-landscape and geo-heritage assessment to promote geo-tourism and geo-conservation of Ehden region in North Lebanon

This study deals with the contribution of Ehden's region geo-landscape and geo-heritage to make better known the Lebanese landscape and to promote geo-tourism and landscape conservation in Lebanon. It tends to acknowledge the landscape as the core of the unalterable integrated relationships between geology, geomorphology, geography and tourism. The region of Ehden in North Lebanon and its surroundings is characterized by a high geodiversity along with the natural coexistence and closeness of different landscape units and geological features. It sets a great sample as a cross-section of the variety of landscapes that identify the Lebanese territory. Geo-tourism potential of Ehden's area is evidenced based on a first of its time geomorphological study of the landscape presented through this paper. A geo-heritage field assessment was conducted to localize the main geosites using ArcGIS online base-maps. Based on a regional inventory, seven geosites have been selected, assessed and valorized through a rank of most to least geo-touristic potential based on a specific assessment framework. These geosites are identified as the most characteristic and illustrative of the distinguished landscape sectors. For each geosite, one or more landscape perspectives have been detected. The selected geosites are easily perceptible both onsite and further through the extensive scenery within Ehden area and the surroundings. They are well-reserved and maintain a major role within the identity and recognition of the region through both the natural and cultural aspects. The study validates the landscape for the instrument and right tool to interpret geosites and to promote geo-tourism and geo-conservation
