We present a specification for Jgroup, an extension to the Java distributed object model based on group communication. Jgroup is particularly suited for developing dependable network applications that are to be deployed in environments subject to voluntary or involuntary network partitionings. Jgroup adapts view synchrony semantics, typically defined for message-based group communication system...

on the lattice to study critical systems numerically. We illustrate it by means of the 2D Ising model. We compute the critical exponents ν and η and the renormalization group flow of the probability density function of the magnetization. The results, compared to the standard Monte Carlo Renormalization Group proposed by Swendsen [1], are very accurate and the method works faster by a factor whi...

The Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) are frequently used for solvent selection and characterization of polymers, directly related to the suspension behavior pigments in mixtures. performance currently available group contribution (GC) methods HSP were evaluated found be insufficient computer-aided product design (CAPD) paints coatings. A revised and, this purpose, improved GC method is presen...

A novel method for the estimation of aqueous solubility was solely based on simple atom contribution. Each atom in a molecule has its own contribution to aqueous solubility and was developed. Altogether 76 atom types were used to classify atoms with different chemical environments. Moreover, two correction factors, including hydrophobic carbon and square of molecular weight, were used to accoun...
