The paper presents the measurement results of the noise level of a power transformer. The noise sources occurring in the transformer are presented, and the method applied and the measuring tools used are characterized. The measurements were taken in 29 points located around the transformer. The evaluation of noise was carried out based on the revised coefficient of the acoustic pressure level. The research work results presented enable the evaluation of the influence of the noise of the unit under study on its environment and make it easier to diagnose the degrees of wear of the fans installed in transformer coolers.

The paper presents research results of electrokinetic zeta potential that exists in the electrical double layer on the border of the solid and liquid phases. For zeta potential examination, samples in the colloid form were used, the continuous (dispersing) phase of which was constituted by dielectric liquid mixtures formed on the base of simple hydrocarbons (hexane, cyclohexane, toluene), and the solid (dispersed) phase was constituted by materials in a disintegrated form (aluminum, copper, steatite, Al-70). The measurements were taken with Zetasizer 2000 - by Malvern Instruments (UK). Volume density of charge qw on the border of the solid and liquid phases, responsible for generation of electrostatic charges, was determined based on the measured zeta potential and physicochemical properties of the liquids under study.

The paper will present the wavelet analysis results using continuous and discrete wavelet transforms of vibrations of a power transformer tub installed on the block of a conventional, thermal condensation power station. The research tests were carried out during a regular transformer operation in industrial conditions. The measurements were taken from the point of view of the evaluation of the influence of the vibrations registered on the analysis results of the acoustic emission signals generated by partial discharges that can occur in paper-oil insulation systems of power transformers. Moreover, the analyses carried out were supplemented with the research results obtained in laboratory conditions during the measurements taken in the high-voltage testing station of high-voltage power appliances. The influence of the loosened screws fastening the lid of the transformer tub on the time-frequency analysis results obtained of the vibrations registered was investigated. Moreover, the range of the research work carried out referred to the evaluation of the influence of the changes of the pressure force of the metal plates forming the transformer core on the vibration measurement results were obtained. In summary, the evaluation of usefulness was presented and the range of the time-frequency analysis application possibilities, and especially wavelet transforms, in diagnostics of power transformers using the acoustic methods was characterized.

This paper presents an analysis how the pulses in the long three-conductor coupled lines with common screen interact mutually. The interaction of pulses appears in those places of the line, where there is a change in characteristic impedance causing a change in reflection coefficient for pulses moving along the line. An exemplary analysis is conducted for a homogenous lossless line both at its starting and terminal point. The results of the analysis are analytical expressions describing quantitative interactions of pulses. The expressions are verified numerically and experimentally involving measurements of the real-life line. The mutual interaction of pulses can be useful in location of faults in electric power lines by means of the pulses method.

The paper deals with the calculation of hysteresis power loss in cores of electromechanical converters. The analysis was carried out using the Jiles-Atherton model of ferromagnetic hysteresis incorporated into two-dimensional time-stepping finite element model. A vector hysteresis model was constructed by the vectorisation of a scalar model. The total power loss due to hysteresis was split into two component, one originating from the purely alternating magnetic field, and the second being a consequence of the local predomination of vector nature of magnetic field distribution. Two computational examples are presented showing the general applicability of the algorithm for determination of power loss distribution.

Fuzzy c-means method (FCM) is a popular tool for a fuzzy data processing. In the current study, a FCM-based method of fuzzy clustering in a kernel space has been implemented. First, a "kernel trick" is applied to the fuzzy c-means algorithm. Then, the new method is employed for a fast automated segmentation of demyelination plaques in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The clusters in a Gaussian kernel space are analysed in the histogram context and used during the initial classification of the brain tissue. Received classification masks are then used to detect the region of interest, eliminate false positives and label MS lesions.

An attempt to connect finite automata theory with multi-agent systems is presented. The purpose is to obtain an accurate way to plan and control the robot activities within a multi-robot system. The proposed model is an adapted Moore machine, which is to be used with a contract net protocol agent coordination procedure. The considered architecture was tested in an educational flexible manufacturing system with two industrial robots.

The application of power quality parameters measurement algorithms requires utilization of computational methods which transform the signal from the time- to the frequency-domain. Currently, the most frequently applied method is the fast Fourier transformation (FFT). Because of the amendment of the proper power quality standards, it is also necessary to consider of implementation discrete Fourier transformation (DFT) algorithms. Considering the number of computations, DFT is more complicated than FFT. This paper presents basic analog-to-digital conversion parameters, which are defined in the norms, the time duration analysis of DFT algorithms, considering described assumptions and comparing them to FFT. Codes created in C and assembler languages, as well as the Matlab/Simulink environment, were taken into account. The software including the aforementioned codes was implemented in a low-cost power quality measurement system based on the TMS320c6713 floating point DSP processor from Texas Instruments. In the software, a real time DSP/BIOS operation system was used. Multi thread programming in power quality measurement systems was presented, and an analysis of computational efficiencies of the systems based on the TMS320c6 713 DSP processors was performed.

Solution techniques for Markov decision problems rely on exact knowledge of the transition rates, which may be difficult or impossible to obtain. In this paper, we consider Markov decision problems with uncertain transition rates represented as compact sets. We first consider the problem of sensitivity analysis where the aim is to quantify the range of uncertainty of the average per-unit-time reward given the range of uncertainty of the transition rates. We then develop solution techniques for the problem of obtaining the max-min optimal policy, which maximizes the worst-case average per-unit-time reward. In each of these problems, we distinguish between systems that can have their transition rates chosen independently and those where the transition rates depend on each other. Our solution techniques are applicable to Markov decision processes with fixed but unknown transition rates and to those with time-varying transition rates.

In our paper we are proposing a complex model of the student (learner) in a virtual educational environment, supported by a multi-agent system. The whole system is centered on the student and it mainly takes into account Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory that states that social interaction plays a fundamental role in the development of cognition. The model is part of a larger project - DANTE - Socio-Cultural Models implemented through multi-agent architecture for e-learning - that has as main objective the development of a student centred framework for the virtual educational universe that facilitates collaborative learning. The virtual educational world is inhabited by agents: human agents and artificial agents that interact. Agents can be mediating agents, semiotic agents or social agents;they can be intelligent software entities or simple ones, like interface agents.
