This paper presents a comparative study of two of the most widely used game engines in modern game development: Unity and Unreal Engine. The research focuses on their evolution, software architecture, scripting systems, asset management solutions, and overall development workflow. Unity uses a component based GameObject architecture together with C# scripting, offering a flexible environment well suited for rapid prototyping, indie projects, and cross platform deployment, especially on mobile devices. Unreal Engine, on the other hand, relies on C++ and the Blueprint visual scripting system, providing a more structured framework optimized for high performance applications and advanced real time graphics. The paper also compares gameplay architecture, data driven design approaches, and performance related aspects of both engines. In addition, a practical case study involving the implementation of a third person character controller is presented in order to highlight differences in workflow, code structure, and built in engine functionality. The aim of this study is to provide developers with a clearer understanding of the strengths and limitations of each engine and to support the selection of the most appropriate solution depending on project requirements, team experience, and target platforms.
This paper presents a hybrid control architecture for dual-axis photovoltaic (PV) tracking systems based on the integration of a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) and a Battery Management System (BMS). The proposed approach addresses the limitations of conventional Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) methods under variable environmental conditions.The main contribution consists in a multi-parameter control strategy that combines differential illumination, global solar radiation, and battery state of charge to enable adaptive and energy-aware actuation. An adaptive deadband mechanism is introduced to reduce unnecessary movements and mitigate the hunting effect. The system also includes hardware enhancements for improved reliability and fault tolerance.Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces actuator activity by approximately 73% under partially cloudy conditions and improves net energy yield by 15–20% compared to classical approaches. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of combining intelligent control with energy management for efficient and sustainable PV tracking.

This paper aims to develop advanced numerical methods for an in-depth examination of edge hardening process, using eddy current heating. We present a distinct procedure for heat treatment, in our attempt to achieve a particular thermal profile, defined by a higher level of heating in the tip area of the workpiece, compared to the remainder of the piece surface. In order to ensure the necessary mechanical strength, this targeted method applies selective hardening to the tip area, while maintaining the elasticity of rest of the part, so as to ensure the required mechanical strength. The fundamental objective of the work is to present advanced models for optimizing the inductor input parameters in order to achieve a differentiated and efficient heating of the workpiece tip. The precise control of the hardening process and the enhanced mechanical performance of the workpiece are two major implications of this approach.

The aim of this paper is to model the semifinished gear wheel tip using a coil and the resources provided by the FLUX 2D program. In this case, the inductor was assumed to be supplied with a voltage at its terminals, using a coil for modeling. The problem is axisymmetric. Important information about the process of surface heating by induction was obtained through the cooperative analysis of numerical simulations with Flux 2D and experimental data in edge hardening. These data were applied to a semi-finished gear wheel, with the treatment focusing on the tip of the ferromagnetic steel gear wheel. The information was helpful in the design of such equipment. The scientific novelty of this paper lies in the innovative approach of modeling the semi-finished gear wheel tip using a coil and the FLUX 2D program. The study assumed an axisymmetric problem and provided valuable insights into the process of surface heating by induction through the cooperative analysis of numerical simulations with Flux 2D and experimental data in edge hardening. This approach was applied specifically to the tip of a ferromagnetic steel gear wheel, offering practical information that can be instrumental in designing similar equipment. The integration of simulation and experimental data enhances the accuracy and efficiency of the gear wheel hardening process, demonstrating a significant advancement in the field of induction heating and material treatment.
Following this case study, we want to fully cover the consumption of electricity required by heat pumps for heating homes with the help of photovoltaic panels connected to the network, and by the possibility of changing the angle of their inclination during the cold period, to be able to reach a production as closer to the pump consumption. The main objective of the study is to determine a balance between consumption and production during the cold season and around it, and as a secondary effect it would be to eliminate as much as possible the electricity obtained with the help of fossil fuels or other much more polluting sources, replacing this energy through the one obtained by the photovoltaic panels.

The aim of this work is to develop numerical procedures for analyzing edge hardening using induction heating by turbulent currents. The section through the steel bar, whose lower edge needs to be hardened, is presented. For the inductor adapted to the piece configuration, the 2D model is assumed. The surface treatment of the piece must be differentiated: in the tip area, the heating must be greater than in the rest of the surface. Only the tip area needs to be subjected to hardening, while the rest of the piece must remain elastic to ensure the desired mechanical strength. The main purpose of this work is to propose inductor models for achieving differentiated heating of the blade.

The purpose of these experiments was to find optimum conditions based on the influence of microwave / hot air heating on barley seeds with high humidity. Parameters variation, temperature, humidity, power in the drying process were analyzed. The effects of microwaves on the drying characteristics were studied in two cases: the first case uses a constant microwave power and hot air jet at 55°C±10%, without taking into account the maximum allowable temperature in the seedbed, and in the second situation, variable power is used to ensure that the temperature does not exceed 65°C. The experiments were carried out on barley seeds, the Thuringia variety. To see and study the influence microwaves have on microwave field treated seeds, in the two above-mentioned cases, barley grains were germinated and the daily progression of the germination process was followed.
