The increasing interest in applying small area estimation methods urges the needs for training in small area estimation. To better understand the behaviour of small area estimators in practice, simulations are a feasible way for evaluating and teaching properties of the estimators of interest. By designing such simulation studies, students gain a deeper understanding of small area estimation methods. Thus, we encourage to use appropriate simulations as an additional interactive tool in teaching

The purpose of the paper was testing of the air distribution system performance in the multifunctional hall. The numerical simulations of the airflows were made with the Ansys software. Three cases with two working modes of the installation were simulated: a large sport event with audience on the stalls, an exhibition with presentation boxes and an indoor ice rink. Direct results of the simulations and statistical data were analyzed. The results showed that for the ice rink and exhibition the

For this purpose, the cut-out part of the window profile was placed inside the insulated framework mounted inside the real window opening (Fig. 2). To monitor the temperature, seven T-type thermocouples connected to a data recorder were placed inside and on the surface of the profile, in half of its length (Fig. 3). Two more thermocouples were used to monitor internal and

Every year, the number of vehicles on roads increases and congestions are created. Individual intersections do not have unlimited capacity. Simulations help to predict possible future problems and thus the possibility to prevent them. Accordingly, at intersections on Vajnorská street, a traffic survey was carried out using video cameras.

Blind signal extraction is particularly attractive to solve signal mixture problems while only one or a few source signals are desired. Many desired biomedical signals exhibit distinct periods. A sequential method based on second order statistics is introduced in this paper. One can choose to recover one source signal or all signals in a specific order. The validity and performance of the proposed method are confirmed by computer simulations.

The aim of the paper was to verify whether it is possible to predict thermal indoor environment in an industrial facility, characterized by large cubature and significant heat sources using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique. For this purpose, thermal imaging measurements were carried out to obtain boundary conditions, followed by numerical simulations of the airflow using the Ansys CFX software. Direct results of temperature and velocity distribution of air were analyzed

longitudinals) were designed. On the basis of the conducted tests, it was found that it is worth considering the replacement of collision tests of the whole vehicle by tests of its individual components. This can be considered a new approach that is not widely used. Currently, most often, crash tests of entire vehicles are conducted (high costs) or computer simulations are performed (often with unsatisfactory accuracy).

investigated the relationship between dogs and children with socio-communicative developmental delays. It emerged that both fields of research suggested that through “embodied simulations”, humans can learn to attune to others, and generate a representation of behaviours of others (Gallese, 2005; Solomon, 2012). When translated to individuals with socio-communicative delays, perhaps an alternative approach (e.g. to language and vision) to acquiring knowledge concerning the world of social interactions

homotopy analysis method with the approximate solutions determined numerically by applying the Mathematica software. Differences between the obtained solutions were slight. However, the advantage of the examined method is that we receive here the approximate solution in the form of continuous function which can be used then in a further analysis or to perform various simulations. Whereas when we apply the numerical methods, we get the discrete set of values which may be potentially used later for

Large unbalanced vibrations were found, affecting not only the fatigue resistance of the locomotive, but also influencing the crew and passengers in the train consist. Developed model and simulations were used to check several possible parameter variations of the locomotive, but the problems were found to be in the original design such that no serious improvements can be done in the space available for the running gear and therefore the

This paper shows that the system proposed is a feasible method to investigate user behaviours of mobile data usage. If the sample size of users involved could be increased in the future, it would be possible to develop a model for real-time simulations of mobile users in specific areas so that limited connection resources could be dynamically

of the loading and discharging point and the time of arrival of the vehicles at the point, and how to receive the vehicles so that the waiting time between them is the shortest. For this purpose, a partially integer linear optimization model has been created in Matlab, which provides a valid plan with the shortest waiting times for all vehicles. Simulations have been made for different numbers of ramps and vehicles. The results show that the model is suitable for pre-creating a valid plan for the
