This paper presents a generic model driven approach to enable Quality of Service (QoS) modeling and realization for component based middleware platforms. We describe a QoS metamodel that makes it possible to support multi category QoS instead of introducing a static set of QoS properties into the modeling method. The metamodel is integrated with the UML metamodel and the Component Implementatio...

The spin-half Heisenberg antiferromagnet (HAF) on the square and triangular lattices is studied using the coupled cluster method (CCM) technique of quantum many-body theory. The phase relations between different expansion coefficients of the ground-state wave function in an Ising basis for the square lattice HAF is exactly known via the Marshall-Peierls sign rule, although no equivalent sign ru...

We present a new high-order coupled cluster method (CCM) formalism for the ground states of lattice quantum spin systems for general spin quantum number, s. This new ‘‘general-s ’’ formalism is found to be highly suitable for a computational implementation, and the technical details of this implementation are given. To illustrate our new formalism we perform high-order CCM calculations for the ...

Understanding the phenomena of shock propagation and of turbulent mix induced by Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability growth is of critical importance for ignition and high gain in inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Capsule assembly and hot-spot formation require careful timing of multiple shocks to maximize hot-spot heating while minimizing heating of the main fuel. Unmitigated mixing of the main ...

Cornea confocal microscopy (CCM) is a novel non-invasive method to detect small nerve fiber pathology. CCM generally correlates with outcomes of skin biopsies in patients with small fiber pathology. The aim of this study was to quantify the morphology of small nerve fibers of the cornea of patients with fibromyalgia in terms of density, length and branching and further phenotype these patients ...

INTRODUCTION Several methods of dietetic counseling can be used in the nutritional therapy in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The main methods are the traditional method (TM) and the carbohydrate counting (CCM). OBJECTIVE Presenting a systematic review of the literature on the impact of nutritional therapy in GDM, through TM and CCM, evaluating the results for maternal and child health. ...

A fast direction of arrival (DOA) estimation method using a real-valued cross-correlation matrix (CCM) of coprime subarrays is proposed. Firstly, real-valued CCM with extended aperture is constructed to obtain the signal subspaces corresponding to the two subarrays. By analysing the relationship between the two subspaces, DOA estimations from the two subarrays are simultaneously obtained with a...

A method of solving combinatorial problems, such as the N queens problem or graph coloring problems using independent parallel processes, is proposed. This method is stochastic (or randomized). Problems are decomposed for parallel processing implicitly and stochastically. This method is based on CCM, which is a computational model proposed by the author. A program consists of production rules a...

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a common chronic disease that requires much care. This study aimed to explore the effects of collaborative care model (CCM) on patients with CHF. A total of 114 CHF patients were enrolled in this study, and were randomly and equally divided into two groups: control and experimental. Patients in the two groups received either usual care or CCM for 3 continuous mont...

ion of the actual system. We use CCGs to perform a local analysis which, if successful, can determine that the definitions terminate. To do this, we start by assigning calling context measures to contexts in the CCG. 8.4 Calling Context Measures and Termination Definition 8.4.1. Given a calling context, c = 〈f,G, e〉, and a set S ⊆ Val , the set of calling context measures (CCMs) for c over S, d...
