Asymmetric globalization and specialization

Asymmetric Globalization: Outcomes versus Opportunities

Specialization inheritance and specialization bounded polymorphism

We define a specialization inheritance mechanism for object-oriented programming, admitting covariant redefinition of both methods and instance variables in subclassing. We investigate on the semantic weakness that makes such very flexible inheritance infeasible for a statically type-checked programming language supporting polymorphic assignment and polymorphic method invocation. We show that t...

Stage specialization for design and analysis of flotation circuits

This paper presents a new approach for flotation circuit design. Initially, it was proven numerically and analytically that in order to achieve the highest recovery in different circuit configurations, the best equipment must be placed at the beginning stage of the flotation circuits. The size of the entering particles and the types of streams including pulp and froth were considered as the bas...
