A Two-OCR Engine Method for Digitized Swedish Newspapers

To image the resistivity distribution of the subsurface, transient electromagnetic (TEM) surveying has been established as an effective geophysical method. Conventionally, an inversion method is applied to resolve the model parameters from the available measurements. However, significant time and effort are involved in preparing and executing an inversion and this prohibits its use as a real-time decision-making tool to optimize surveying in the field. We have developed a search engine method to find approximate 1D resistivity model solutions for circular central-loop configuration TEM data in real time. The search engine method is a concept used for query searches from large databases on the Internet. By extension, approximate solutions to any input TEM data can be found rapidly by searching a preestablished database. This database includes a large number of forward simulation results that represent the possible model solutions. The database size is optimized by the survey depth of investigation and the sensitivity analysis of the model layers. The fast-search speed is achieved by using the multiple randomized [Formula: see text]-dimensional tree method. In addition to its high speed in finding solutions, the search engine method provides a solution space that quantifies the resolutions and uncertainties of the results. We apply the search engine method to find 1D model solutions at different data points and then interpolate them to a pseudo-2D resistivity model. We tested the method with synthetic and real data.

Abstract The primary objective of this article is to determine the degree of popularity of stag tourism destinations in Europe. Research was based on the search engine method, involving an analysis of the highest positioned offers of travel agencies in the most commonly used search engines in Europe (Google, Bing, Yahoo). The analysis divided the studied cities into four categories in terms of popularity. Conducting the said analysis is strongly justified, because academic publications have so far not provided studies which have determined the degree of popularity of stag destinations on a continental scale.

Substitution of fossil fuels with fuels that come from part renewable sources has been a subject of many studies and researches in the past decade. Considering the higher cost and limits of production resources, a special attention is focused on raising the energy efficiency of biofuel usage, mainly through optimization of the combustion process. Consequently, in biofuel applications, there is a need for determination of auto-ignition quality expressed by cetane number as a dominant characteristic that influences combustion parameters. The fact that the method for cetane number determination is comparative in nature has led us to try to develop substitute engine method for cetane number determination, by the use of the available laboratory equipment and serial, mono-cylinder engine with direct injection, DMB LDA 450. Description of the method, results of optimization of engine?s working parameters for conduction of the test and method?s Accuracy estimation are given in the paper. The paper also presents the results of domestic biodiesel fuels cetane number testing with the application of described engine method, developed at the Laboratory for internal combustion engines and fuels and lubricants of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering from Kragujevac, Serbia.
