Homogenizing Efficiency Test Studies

Homogenizing multi-adjoint logic programs

The concept of homogeneous multi-adjoint logic program is introduced, and a procedure to homogenize an arbitrary multi-adjoint logic program is presented. The procedure is proved to preserve models and, moreover, some complexity results are given.

Homogenizing Community, Homogenizing Nature: An Analysis of Conflicting Rights in the Rights of Nature Debate

In less than half a decade, the idea that nature possesses inalienable rights akin to human rights has gone from a strictly theoretical concept to the basis for policy changes in several countries and U.S. municipalities. This paper explores the tensions between community decisionmaking and the rights of nature by focusing on how the implementation of these theories has played out in Ecuador an...

An Architecture for Homogenizing Federated Databases

Many large organizations have a number of heterogeneous localized databases that are maintained and managed to support a set of local applications. One of the main difficulties in supporting global applications over a number of localized databases and migrating legacy ISs to modern computing environment is to cope with the heterogeneities of these systems. We propose a novel flexible architectu...

Laser Beam Homogenizing: Limitations and Constraints

Laser beam homogenizing and beam shaping are key enabling technologies for many applications today. Periodic microlens arrays are widely used to transform Gaussian or non-uniform beam profile into a uniform “flat-top”. Each microlens element samples the input beam and spreads it over a given angular distribution. Incoherent beams that are either temporally or spatially incoherent can produce ve...
