Real-time scheduling theory has made a great progress in the last decades. From small devices to enormous satellites or industrial plants take advantage of this ongoing research. However, to the authors belief, there is still a gap to fully exploit the benefits of the theory. The cornerstone of real-time scheduling theory is the concept of task. Nevertheless, very little is mentioned about how ...

This paper studies geometric engineering, in the simplest possible case of rank one (Abelian) gauge theory on the affine plane and the resolved conifold. We recall the identification between Nekrasov’s partition function and a version of refined Donaldson– Thomas theory, and study the relationship between the underlying vector spaces. Using a purity result, we identify the vector space underlyi...

In this study, we propose a new IsoGeometric formulation based on Refined Zigzag Theory (RZT), abbreviated as IG-RZT, for static analysis of laminated plates and sandwich panels with curvilinear fiber paths the first time in literature. The original RZT defines constant, linear, zigzag deformation contributions thickness coordinate to in-plane displacements. This kinematic relation can accurate...
