Las costas de la Nueva España en la cartografía náutica inglesa: del viaje de Basil Ringrose al atlas de William Hack (1680-1698)
Authors: Pinzón Ríos Guadalupe 
Published: December 2017

Con este trabajo se pretende estudiar el diario de Basil Ringrose y el atlas de William Hack como ejemplo de las formas en las que el Pacífico fue cada vez más representado en la cartografía inglesa de la segunda parte del siglo XVII, lo cual llevó a su inclusión en obras compuestas por mapas (o atlas), en el marco de la expansión marítima por el que la Gran Bretaña transitó en esa centuria. Si bien los ingleses en principio dependieron de la cartografía neerlandesa, la necesidad de conocer con más detalle las regiones a las que se dirigían sus travesías los obligaron a elaborar nuevos mapas en los que se incluyeron las informaciones obtenidas por sus propios navegantes. Ese fue el caso de los trabajos de Ringrose y Hack, los cuales se elaboraron a partir de un libro de mapas español capturado en las costas de Guayaquil donde se mostraban con detalle las costas del Pacífico americano y cuya información pronto fue copiada y reinterpretada para que sirviera a los navegantes ingleses. La relevancia de esos trabajos se debe a que, como explica James Akerman, los atlas cuentan con esquemas geográficos que representan una narrativa de los territorios expuestos a partir de una estructura que tiene una intencionalidad planteada por los autores o editores de esos trabajos (Akerman, 2012:3-4). En el caso de Ringrose y Hack, los textos de ambos se estructuraron en función de los mapas contenidos en ellos y tuvieron la intención de sintetizar la información geográfica que se obtenía de un espacio marítimo en construcción, como en ese momento era el Pacífico, además de dar cuenta de los alcances de las navegaciones inglesas y servir de propaganda para generar mayor interés en dichas aventuras.
Specific duality and stability of positive electrical circuits
Authors: Kaczorek Tadeusz 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The specific duality and asymptotic stability of the positive linear electrical circuits are addressed. The specific duality of positive linear electrical circuits composed of resistances, inductances, capacitances and source voltages is established. 1) The linear electrical circuits are positive if and only if the common branches between meshes with resistances and inductances and meshes with resistances and capacitances contain only source voltages; 2) In linear electrical circuits the interchanges of the inductances by the capacitances and the capacitances by inductances do not change the asymptotic stability of the electrical circuits. The asymptotic stability of the positive and nonpositive electrical circuits is analyzed.

Authors: Sadalla Talar , Horla Dariusz , Giernacki Wojciech , Kozierski Piotr 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The paper aims at presenting the influence of an open-loop time delay on the stability and tracking performance of a second-order open-loop system and continuoustime fractional-order PI controller. The tuning method of this controller is based on Hermite- Biehler and Pontryagin theorems, and the tracking performance is evaluated on the basis of two integral performance indices, namely IAE and ISE. The paper extends the results and methodology presented in previous work of the authors to analysis of the influence of time delay on the closed-loop system taking its destabilizing properties into account, as well as concerning possible application of the presented results and used models.

Measurement-based harmonic current modeling of mobile storage for power quality study in the distribution system
Authors: Wenge Christoph , Guo Hui , Roehrig Christian 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Electric vehicles (EVs) can be utilized as mobile storages in a power system. The use of battery chargers can cause current harmonics in the supplied AC system. In order to analyze the impact of different EVs with regardto their number and their emission of current harmonics, a generic harmonic current model of EV types was built and implemented in the power system simulation tool PSS®NETOMAC. Based on the measurement data for different types of EVs three standardized harmonic EV models were developed and parametrized. Further, the identified harmonic models are used by the computation of load flow in a modeled, German power distribution system. As a benchmark, a case scenario was studied regarding a high market penetration of EVs in the year 2030 for Germany. The impact of the EV charging on the power distribution system was analyzed and evaluated with valid power quality standards.
Frequency and time domain characteristics of digital control of electric vehicle in-wheel drives
Authors: Jarzebowicz Leszek , Opalinski Artur 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
In-wheel electric drives are promising as actuators in active safety systems of electric and hybrid vehicles. This new function requires dedicated control algorithms, making it essential to deliver models that reflect better the wheel-torque control dynamics of electric drives. The timing of digital control events, whose importance is stressed in current research, still lacks an analytical description allowing for modeling its influence on control system dynamics. In this paper, authors investigate and compare approaches to the analog and discrete analytical modeling of torque control loop in digitally controlled electric drive. Five different analytical models of stator current torque component control are compared to judge their accuracy in representing drive control dynamics related to the timing of digital control events. The Bode characteristics and stepresponse characteristics of the analytical models are then compared with those of a reference model for three commonly used cases of motor discrete control schemes. Finally, the applicability of the presented models is discussed.

Authors: Kotowicz Janusz , Bartela Łukasz , Dubiel-Jurgaś Klaudia 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Paper presents the concept of energy storage system based on power-to-gas-to-power (P2G2P) technology. The system consists of a gas turbine co-firing hydrogen, which is supplied from a distributed electrolysis installations, powered by the wind farms located a short distance from the potential construction site of the gas turbine. In the paper the location of this type of investment was selected. As part of the analyses, the area of wind farms covered by the storage system and the share of the electricity production which is subjected storage has been changed. The dependence of the changed quantities on the potential of the hydrogen production and the operating time of the gas turbine was analyzed. Additionally, preliminary economic analyses of the proposed energy storage system were carried out.
Online Monitoring System of Air Distribution in Pulverized Coal-Fired Boiler Based on Numerical Modeling
Authors: Żymełka Piotr , Nabagło Daniel , Janda Tomasz , Madejski Paweł 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Balanced distribution of air in coal-fired boiler is one of the most important factors in the combustion process and is strongly connected to the overall system efficiency. Reliable and continuous information about combustion airflow and fuel rate is essential for achieving optimal stoichiometric ratio as well as efficient and safe operation of a boiler. Imbalances in air distribution result in reduced boiler efficiency, increased gas pollutant emission and operating problems, such as corrosion, slagging or fouling. Monitoring of air flow trends in boiler is an effective method for further analysis and can help to appoint important dependences and start optimization actions. Accurate real-time monitoring of the air distribution in boiler can bring economical, environmental and operational benefits. The paper presents a novel concept for online monitoring system of air distribution in coal-fired boiler based on real-time numerical calculations. The proposed mathematical model allows for identification of mass flow rates of secondary air to individual burners and to overfire air (OFA) nozzles. Numerical models of air and flue gas system were developed using software for power plant simulation. The correctness of the developed model was verified and validated with the reference measurement values. The presented numerical model for real-time monitoring of air distribution is capable of giving continuous determination of the complete air flows based on available digital communication system (DCS) data.
Modeling of District Heating Networks for the Purpose of Operational Optimization with Thermal Energy Storage
Authors: Leśko Michał , Bujalski Wojciech 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The aim of this document is to present the topic of modeling district heating systems in order to enable optimization of their operation, with special focus on thermal energy storage in the pipelines. Two mathematical models for simulation of transient behavior of district heating networks have been described, and their results have been compared in a case study. The operational optimization in a DH system, especially if this system is supplied from a combined heat and power plant, is a difficult and complicated task. Finding a global financial optimum requires considering long periods of time and including thermal energy storage possibilities into consideration. One of the most interesting options for thermal energy storage is utilization of thermal inertia of the network itself. This approach requires no additional investment, while providing significant possibilities for heat load shifting. It is not feasible to use full topological models of the networks, comprising thousands of substations and network sections, for the purpose of operational optimization with thermal energy storage, because such models require long calculation times. In order to optimize planned thermal energy storage actions, it is necessary to model the transient behavior of the network in a very simple way - allowing for fast and reliable calculations. Two approaches to building such models have been presented. Both have been tested by comparing the results of simulation of the behavior of the same network. The characteristic features, advantages and disadvantages of both kinds of models have been identified. The results can prove useful for district heating system operators in the near future.
Regionale prädiktive Regelung – Modellprädiktive Regelung mittels stückweise definiertem Riccati-Regler
Authors: König Kai , Mönnigmann Martin 
Published: December 2017

Zusammenfassung
Prädiktive Regler basieren üblicherweise auf dem numerischen Lösen von Optimalsteuerungsaufgaben (OSA). Dieses Vorgehen
kann als punktweises Auswerten eines nur implizit definierten Regelgesetzes aufgefasst werden. Bei der linearen
modellprädiktiven Regelung (MPC) definiert die Lösung der OSA nicht nur die optimale Rückführung an einem Punkt, sondern
auf einem Polytop im Zustandsraum. Indem dieses Gesetz so lange verwendet wird, wie das System im aktuellen Polytop
bleibt, entsteht eine regionale MPC, und die OSA muss nur bei Verlassen des Polytops gelöst werden. Es werden zwei Ansätze
vorgeschlagen, die die Zahl der zu lösenden OSA weiter reduzieren. Der erste basiert auf der Aktualisierung des
Regelgesetzes mit Hilfe einer Analyse benachbarter Polytope. Der zweite lässt eine suboptimale Verwendung der Rückführung
zu, die zu vergrößerten Gültigkeitsregionen führt.
‘You can say – we do not want the junkies and the sex workers. But they are here!‘: On the spatial exclusion of anti-social behaviour in Bratislava - Nové Mesto
Authors: Klimentová Ivana , Valkovičová Veronika 
Published: December 2017

AbstractThe paper focuses on the discursive framing of drug users and sex workers as subjects of public space governance within the process of local policymaking. The core of this study analyses the non-governmental organisation OZ Odyseus grant application for a harm reduction programme and a subsequent debate of the Municipal Council Members of the Bratislava city district – Nové Mesto. The aim of the meeting and the debate was to approve funding for numerous social projects, including a fieldwork-oriented organisation OZ Odyseus, which provides harm reduction in numerous city districts of Bratislava. The analysis disclosed the application of specific subject positioning frames, which conceptualise drug users and sex workers as ‘out of place’, anti-social and not members of a local community. Results of the study point to the conceptualisation of (commercial) public space as ‘stolen from the normal people’ and the need for spatial segregation of sex workers and drug users in order to reclaim and revitalise it.

Orlicz dual affine quermassintegrals
Authors: Zhao Chang-Jian 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
In the paper, our main aim is to generalize the dual affine quermassintegrals to the Orlicz space.
Under the framework of Orlicz dual Brunn–Minkowski theory, we introduce a new affine
geometric quantity by calculating the first-order variation of the dual affine quermassintegrals, and call it the Orlicz dual affine quermassintegral.
The fundamental notions and conclusions of the dual affine quermassintegrals and the Minkoswki and Brunn–Minkowski inequalities for them are extended to an Orlicz setting, and the related concepts and inequalities of Orlicz dual mixed volumes are also included in our conclusions.
The new Orlicz–Minkowski and Orlicz–Brunn–Minkowski inequalities in a special case yield the Orlicz dual Minkowski inequality and Orlicz dual Brunn–Minkowski inequality, which also imply the

-dual Minkowski inequality and Brunn–Minkowski inequality for the dual affine quermassintegrals.

Antibacterial activity of ethanolic extracts of some moss species
Authors: Karpiński Tomasz M. , Adamczak Artur 
Published: December 2017

Summary
Introduction: For centuries, mosses have been used in traditional medicine due to their antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activities. Objective: The present study was designed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of ethanolic extracts obtained from 12 moss species: Brachythecium albicans, Bryum argenteum, Ceratodon purpureus, Dicranum scoparium, Dryptodon pulvinatus, Orthotrichum anomalum, Oxyrrhynchium hians, Plagiomnium undulatum, Polytrichum juniperinum, P. piliferum, Schistidium crassipilum, and Syntrichia ruralis. Methods: The antimicrobial activity of extracts was investigated against three Gram(+) bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pyogenes) and two Gram(-) bacteria (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae), using the agar disc-diffusion method. Results: The high activity against all investigated bacteria was determined for extracts of D. pulvinatus, P. undulatum, B. argenteum, S. crassipilum, O. anomalum (mean inhibition zone: 11.3-13.1 mm) and to a lesser extent in the case of D. scoparium (8.3 mm). Extracts from P. juniperinum and P. piliferum showed activity only against Gram-positive bacteria, with an inhibition zone from 7.3 to 9.7 mm. Four species: B. albicans, C. purpureus, O. hians, and S. ruralis had not antibacterial properties. Conclusions: The obtained results indicate that mosses could be a significant source of antibacterial agents. For the first time, we presented antibacterial activity of ethanolic extracts from S. crassipilum and O. anomalum.
The Hong Kong Occupy Injunction Cases
Authors: Lone Fozia N 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
In September 2014, the deadlock over election reforms in Hong Kong sparked off a mass civil disobedience occupy movement. This political dispute eventually reached the legal arena after the filing of injunction applications before the courts of Hong Kong to clear the protest sites. This article aims to discuss the courts’ approach towards the adjudication of these injunction cases. In particular, this article will review: (a) the appropriateness of the scope of the interim injunctions granted to protect the plaintiff’s personal rights under the tort of public nuisance; (b) the function of the police in implementing the injunction orders; (c) the position the courts should adopt in defending individual rights of the plaintiffs if a similar remedy is already available under the statute; and (d) the way courts should reconcile competing claims and protect both the unidentified protestors’ human rights and the private rights of the plaintiffs. The article maintains that the injunction cases have set rather dangerous precedents regarding the protection of fundamental rights in Hong Kong in cases of public order involving protection of private rights. The same analysis leads to the conclusion that in a democratic society, the courts have a duty to find the balance between the protection of fundamental human rights and private rights under tort of nuisance, while also observing significant procedural rules.
Adsorption of CO2 onto Activated Carbons Prepared by Chemical Activation with Metallic Salts
Authors: Acevedo Sergio , Giraldo Liliana , Moreno-Piraján Juan Carlos 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Activated carbons are obtained by chemical activation of African Palm shells (Elaeis guineensis) with different impregnating agents, i. e. magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) aqueous solutions at different concentrations (3, 5 and 7 % w/v) and temperatures (between 773 and 1073 K), in order to assess their influence on the development of the porosity. The activated carbons prepared are characterized in terms of both textural and chemical properties. The activated carbons have a surface area and a pore volume ranging between 19 and 501 m2.g−1 and 0.03–0.29 cm3.g−1, respectively. Based on the obtained results, the samples with higher surface area and pore volume (i. e. those impregnated with MgCl2 and CaCl2 solutions and thermally treated at 1073 K) are selected to evaluate the adsorption capacity and affinity for CO2. CO2 adsorption capacity varies between 1.78 and 2.95 mmolCO2.g−1 at 273 K and low pressure, and the activated carbon impregnated with the solution of MgCl2 3% and activated at 1073 K (i. e. ACMg3-1073) showed the best performances. Finally, the kinetic results show that adsorption rate for sample ACMg3-1073 is enhanced by its micro-mesoporous nature, being the access routes to the micropores larger.
Interpreting legal arguments. Insights from the first ICC trial
Authors: Brambilla Emanuele 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The terminological problems and pragmatic challenges interpreters regularly face in courts are often posed by judges’ and lawyers’ recourse to argument strategies. However, the analysis of legal argumentation in courtroom interaction has been substantially overlooked in interpreting scholarly settings. Against this background, the paper outlines the preliminary findings of the ArgIntIus project, bridging argumentation theory and court interpreting studies. The project is based on a parallel corpus of selected trials at the International Criminal Court (ICC); building on the assumption that familiarity with the argumentative routines of legal experts plays a crucial role in providing quality interpreting services, the project aims at detecting recurring argument strategies used in ICC trials and analysing their renditions by experienced interpreters, with a view to promoting the quest for pragmatic equivalence in interpreter-mediated courtroom interaction. The paper focuses on the trial of Thomas Lubanga Dyilo and draws on argumentation theory to analyse judicial discourse. The findings suggest that specific argument strategies are recurrently implemented by ICC lawyers; particularly, the relativity of legal arguments stands out, as their use often varies depending on whether the arguer is a member of the prosecution or the defence team. Notably, legal arguments are regularly reproduced by ICC interpreters who, thus, appear to be aware of the pragmatic implications of legal argumentation. A number of argument strategies and their respective interpretations are discussed, together with the training implications of the research project and the contribution of argumentation theory to court interpreting studies.
