Energy efficiency of systems of water pumping is a complex problem since efficiency of two distinct interacting systems needs to be combined: water and power supply. This paper introduces a non-intrusive method of calculating the so-called “collective losses” of a cage induction motor. The term “collective losses”, which the authors define, allows for accurate estimation of motor efficiency. Control system of a pump determines operating point of a pumping station, and thus its efficiency. General estimated performance characteristics of a motor, components of a control system, are assumed to serve selection of a range of pumping speed variations. Rotational speed has a direct effect on motor load torque, pump power and head, and thus on motor performance. Hellwig’s statistical method was used to specify characteristics of estimated collective losses on the basis of experimental studies of 21 motors rated at up to 2.2 kW. The results of simulations and experiments are used to verify validity and efficiency of the suggested method. The method is non-intrusive, simple to use, and requires minimum data.

This article describes a 2-systems model that explains social behavior as a joint function of reflective and impulsive processes. In particular, it is assumed that social behavior is controlled by 2 interacting systems that follow different operating principles. The reflective system generates behavioral decisions that are based on knowledge about facts and values, whereas the impulsive system elicits behavior through associative links and motivational orientations. The proposed model describes how the 2 systems interact at various stages of processing, and how their outputs may determine behavior in a synergistic or antagonistic fashion. It extends previous models by integrating motivational components that allow more precise predictions of behavior. The implications of this reflective-impulsive model are applied to various phenomena from social psychology and beyond. Extending previous dual-process accounts, this model is not limited to specific domains of mental functioning and attempts to integrate cognitive, motivational, and behavioral mechanisms.

The association of Ca2+ and Cu2+ to serine was investigated by means of B3LYP DFT calculations. The [serine–M]2+ (M = Ca, Cu) potential energy surfaces include, as does the neutral serine, a large number of conformers, in which a drastic reorganization of the electron density of the serine moiety is observed. This leads to significant changes in the number and strength of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds existing in the neutral serine tautomers. In some cases, a proton is transferred from the carboxylic OH group to the amino group and accordingly, some of the more stable [serine–M]2+ complexes can be viewed as the result of the interaction of the zwiterionic form of serine with the doubly charged metal ion. Whereas the interaction between Ca2+ and serine is essentially electrostatic, that between Cu2+ and serine has a non-negligible covalent character, reflected in larger electron densities at the bond critical points between the metal and the base, in the negative values of the electron density between the two interacting systems, and in much larger Cu2+ than Ca2+ binding energies. More importantly, the interaction with Cu2+ is followed by a partial oxidation of the base, which is not observed when the metal ion is Ca2+. The main consequence is that in Cu2+ complexes a significant acidity enhancement of the serine moiety takes place, which strongly favors the deprotonation of the [serine–Cu]2+ complexes. This is not the case for Ca2+ complexes. Thus, [serine–Ca]2+ complexes, like those formed by urea, thiourea, selenourea, or glycine, should be detected in the gas phase. Conversely, the complexes with Cu2+ should deprotonate spontaneously and therefore only [(serine–H)–Cu]+ monocations should be experimentally accessible.
