Database queries within a component framework usually take the form of a string passed to an operation in a component’s interface. The interface operation accepts a value of type string as an actual parameter and implements the necessary support to resolve the query. In such an approach, a component’s interface does not explicitly state the queries supported by that component. In this paper, we...

Soft glassy materials exhibit the so-called glassy transition which means that the behavior of the model at low shear rate changes when a certain parameter (which we call the glass parameter) crosses a critical value. This behavior goes from a Newtonian behavior to a HerschelBulkley behavior through a power-law-type behavior at the transition point. In a previous paper we rigorously proved that...

Combined logics have recently deserved much attention. In this paper we develop a detailed study of a form of combination that generalises the temporalisation construction proposed in 9]. It consists of replacing an atomic part (formal parameter) of one (parameterised) logic by another (actual parameter) logic. We provide a categorial char-acterisation of parameterisation and illustrate it with...

Scientific theories are hard to find, and once scientists have found a theory H, they often believe that there are not many distinct alternatives to H. But is this belief justified? What should scientists believe about the number of alternatives to H, and how should they change these beliefs in the light of new evidence? These are some of the questions that we will address in this paper. We als...

During the past decade, the appreciation and understanding of how bacterial cells can be organized in both space and time have been revolutionized by the identification and characterization of multiple bacterial homologs of the eukaryotic actin cytoskeleton. Some of these bacterial actins, such as the plasmid-borne ParM protein, have highly specialized functions, whereas other bacterial actins,...

Basics We will use the following parameters: • n, the security parameter.

Working memory capacity is one of the most important learner's characteristics that can be used as an input parameter for personalizing learning in order to improve the learning process. Therefore, knowing learner’s working memory capacity and personalizing the learning contents according to learner’s working memory capacity levels are important research issues. This paper proposes an approach ...

This paper presents a new approach to modelling wave propagation in random, linearly elastic materials, namely by means of Fourier integral operators (FIOs). The FIO representation the solution equations motion can be used identify parameters underlying media, as well their statistical hyperparameters randomly perturbed case. A stochastic version for damage detection. Hypothesis tests are propo...

background: dna damage is one of the major consequences of radiation exposure onto the biological systems. a series of compounds including flavanoids were found to render dna protection against radiation damage. in this study we elucidated the potential of rutin and rutin hydrate to protect plasmid dna against damage induced by irradiation. materials and methods: dpph and hydroxyl radical scave...

Anisotropic creep-damage modeling has become an increasingly important prediction technique in both the aerospace and industrial gas turbine industries. The introduction of tensorial damage mechanics formulations in modeling tertiary creep behavior has lead to improved predictions of the creep strain that develops due to anisotropic grain structures and the induced anisotropy that occurs with i...
