In 2016 Pasztor and Schultz[1] proposed an analytical method for calculating a perforation designпїЅs effect on hydrocarbon-well inflow, using a new concept to analyze the effect of the shape of the perforation channelsпїЅ drainage area. The method compares well with standard industrial methods used to calculate the pressure drop caused by a given perforation design. In 2017 Toth and Pasztor[2] applied their model to investigate geothermal-well inflow, and achieved promising results. The modelпїЅs complexity makes...

Hungary is well known for its geothermal potential, used mostly for spas. Where geothermal is used for energy production, it is mostly in the form of a direct heat supply for heating housing projects and businesses. Currently, no geothermal power-plant is operating in Hungary. Neither is the ground-source heat-pump market very strong, maybe because of HungaryпїЅs depressed economy, which still hasnпїЅt recovered from the global recession. All the same, a few large-scale projects are underway. Their realization is ...

Economists usually apply quantitative methods for analysing economic data. Most of this data has a connection to a particular place or space. In geography, the location plays a crucial role, and together with attributes of such location it represents geospatial data. Collaborative work of economists and geographers (geoinformaticians) offer great opportunities in geospatial-economic data analysis and visualisation. Joining two relatively distinct disciplines brings added value for both economy and geography. In ot...

In this contribution, the authors describe a novel method of visualizing any 3D object into a 2D seamless picture with the use of cartographical principles. The method uses properties of a sphere with reflective inner surface, in which a 3D object and capturing camera are placed. A sphere surface is consequently unfolded using cartographic projection allowing to see the whole object in 2D. The method can be applied to any objects, preferably those of non-human origin, e.g. trees with leaves, cave systems, EarthпїЅ...
