Performing High-Dimensional Filtering in Low-Dimensional Spaces
Oliveira, Manuel M.
2014 - English
High-dimensional filtering is a key component for many graphics, image, and video processing applications. Edge-preserving filters (an important class of high-dimensional ones), for instance, are essential for tasks like global-illumination filtering, tone mapping, denoising, detail enhancement, and non-photorealistic effects, among many others. Edge-preserving filtering can be implemented as a convolution with a spatially-varying kernel in image space, or with a spatially-invariant kernel in high-dimensional space. Performing the operation either way is computationally expensive, preventing its use in interactive and real-time scenarios. The talk will present two recent techniques we have developed for efficiently performing edgeaware filtering. The first one is based on a domain transform that allows highdimensional geodesic filtering to be performed in linear time as a sequence of 1-D filtering steps using a spatially-invariant kernel. The second technique works by sampling and filtering the input signal using a set of 2-D manifolds adapted to the original data. Its cost is linear in the number of pixels and in the dimensionality of the space in which the filter operates. These techniques are significantly faster than previous approaches, supporting high-dimensional filtering of images, videos, and global illumination effects in real time. In the talk, I will present several examples illustrating their use in graphics, image, and video processing applications. Keywords: high-dimensional filtering; počítačová grafika; biografie; vysoko-dimenzionální filtrování; computer graphics; biography Available in digital repository of ZČU.

Flow maps - Benefits, Problems, Future Research
Weinkauf, Tino
2014 - English
The flow map has become a standard tool for the analysis and visualization of unsteady flows. In simple terms, it maps the start point of a particle integration to its end point. Flow maps are used to compute Finite Time Lyapunov Exponents (FTLE), Streak Line Vector Fields, or to speed up other methods in flow visualization. However, they are very costly in terms of both computation time and storage. In this talk, I will give an overview of the latest developments in flow visualization, review the theoretical and practical benefits of flow maps, discuss issues of accuracy and complexity, and pose open questions for future research in this area. Keywords: mapy toku; vizualizace toku; flow maps; flow visualization Available in digital repository of ZČU.

Technology for energetic use and distribution of energy from biomass
Bureš, Jiří; Struska, Jan
2014 - English
This paper deals with possibilities of using biomass as a source of energy for heating and production of electricity. Firstly the paper mentions products made from biomass. The most common types of solid biofuel are pellets and wood chips. Secondly the paper describes the ways how to extract energy from solid fuels. Especially it focuses on three types of combust: burning pulverized fuel, grate firing and fluidised bed firing in relationship with co-combustion of biomass and coal.

The utilization of biogas in Slovakia
Lisoň, Lukáš; Kmec, Miroslav; Čonka, Zsolt; Kolcunová, Iraida
2014 - English
Fossil fuels cover 95 % of primary energy needs in Slovakia, and more than 90% of primary energy sources are imported. At the same time, Slovakia has a great potential to use biomass from own forests and agriculture. The paper finds potential of biogas acquisition from the agricultural biomass /excremental and energetic farm crops/ in Slovakia for the energetic purpose. Keywords: bioplyn; Slovensko; biogas; Slovakia Available in digital repository of ZČU.

Horizon 2020 – funding opportunities
Koníčková, Naďa
2014 - English
Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020). By coupling research and innovation, Horizon 2020 is helping to achieve sustainable growth and jobs in Europe with its emphasis on excellent science, industrial leadership and tackling societal challenges. The goal is to ensure Europe produces world-class science, removes barriers to innovation and makes it easier for the public and private sectors to work together in delivering innovation. Important new feature of the Horizon 2020 is simplification of rules for participation and administrative procedures. New financing instruments are introduced to facilitate innovation uptake by SMEs. Measurements aiming at spreading excellence and widening participation of less research performing countries in European research activities will be implemented and synergies of Horizon 2020 with other financing sources (e.g. structural funds) will be supported. Keywords: Horizon 2020; research; innovation; technology; funding schemes Available in digital repository of UPCE.

Youth subculture as interaction of youth and society
Likhachova, Sviatlana
2014 - English
Based on the results of a sociological study in the Mogilev Region, the state and development of youth subculture as a social phenomenon are considered. The reasons for involvement in subcultural associations, sources of information about them, the positive and negative effects of participation in youth subcultures are analyzed. In modern society, we have a situation of subcultural pluralism when society is a set of co-existing ethnic, professional, religious, territorial and youth subcultures, each of which has its own view of the world, including its own system of norms and values, attitudes, beliefs and interests. The study of youth subcultures gives usa deeper understanding of young people's subjectivity. Traditionally, young people are considered as a social resource of society, the object of socialization adopting the experience of older generations. However, some approaches pay attention to the process of integration into society through conflict. It allows youth to present values that do not coincide with the dominant culture. Keywords: youth subculture; subcultural trends; values and attitudes; non-formal group of youth; socialization; adaptation; integration to the society; norms; deviant behavior of youth Available in digital repository of UPCE.
