ER modelling from first relational principles
Entity-Relationship modelling is a popular technique for data modelling. Despite its popularity and wide spread use, it lacks a firm semantic foundation. We propose a translation of an ER-model into relation algebra, suggesting that this kind of algebra does provide suitable mechanisms for establishing a formal semantics of Entity-Relationship modelling. The work reported on here deals first wi...
متن کاملFirst-principles based modelling of ferroelectrics
The application of first-principles computational methods to the study of ferroelectric perovskites has greatly expanded our theoretical understanding of this important class of materials. These methods have most recently been applied to an increasingly wide range of ferroelectric materials, with special attention to their lattice dynamics, phase transitions, and dielectric and piezoelectric pr...
متن کاملFirst-principles modelling of magnesium titanium hydrides.
Mixing Mg with Ti leads to a hydride Mg(x)Ti((1 - x))H(2) with markedly improved (de)hydrogenation properties for x ≤ 0.8, as compared to MgH(2). Optically thin films of Mg(x)Ti((1 - x))H(2) have a black appearance, which is remarkable for a hydride material. In this paper we study the structure and stability of Mg(x)Ti((1 - x))H(2), x = 0-1 by first-principles calculations at the level of dens...
متن کاملFirst-principles modelling of magnetic tunnel junctions
Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) are promising candidates for applications in spintronic devices such as magnetic random access memories, read heads and sensors [1]. The MTJs consist of two ferromagnetic layers separated by an insulating barrier layer. The physical quantity measured for signal detection is the tunnelling magnetoresistance (TMR), i.e. the relative difference in the resistance bet...
متن کاملModifying the Entity relationship modelling notation: towards high quality relational databases from better notated ER models
The entity relationship modelling using the original ER notation has been applauded providing a natural view of data in conceptual modelling of information systems. However, the current ER to relational model transformation algorithm is known to be insufficient in providing a complete and accurate representation of the ER model undertaken for transformation. In an effort to derive better transf...
