Accessing Heterogeneous Data Through Homogenization and Integration Mediators

The AURORA mediator system employs a novel 2-tier, plug-and-play mediation model that is designed to facilitate access to a large number of heterogeneous data sources. This paper describes AURORA's mediation model and a suite of techniques used by a specific AURORA mediator, AURORA-RH. This suite includes a mediation methodology provided via an interactive mediator author's toolkit (MAT), a med...

The Role of Numerical Integration in Numerical Homogenization

Finite elements methods (FEMs) with numerical integration play a central role in numerical homogenization methods for partial differential equations with multiple scales, as the effective data in a homogenization problem can only be recovered from a microscopic solver at a finite number of points in the computational domain. In a multiscale framework the convergence of a FEM with numerical inte...

Abolish the Integration Presumption ? Not

As with any social movement, it is impossible to speak simply of “the goals” of the American disability rights movement. The movement embraces an array of different people, with different disabilities, ideologies, and interests. It therefore has a multiplicity of different goals, which are sometimes in tension with each other. 1 But if there is one goal that has achieved near-consensus status a...

Biotic Homogenization

Humanity’s migrations across, and subsequent modification of, the landscape have had innumerable effects on the many organisms in which we share this world. Mounting evidence suggests that the dual processes of humanmediated extirpation of native species and the introduction of nonnative species have resulted in significant changes in biological diversity at different spatial scales. Global spe...
