The traditional notion of instantiation in Object-Oriented Modeling (OOM) requires objects to be complete, i.e., be fully certain about their existence and attributes. This paper explores the notion of partial instantiation of class diagrams, which allows the modeler to omit some details of objects depending on modeler’s intention. Partial instantiation allows modelers to express optional exist...

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful spectroscopic technique for selective detection and quantification of molecules at extremely low concentrations. However, practical SERS applications gaseous chemicals with small cross section still in its early stages. We herein report plasmonic-sorbent thin-film platform integrated internal standard outstanding sensing capabilities chemic...

The electromagnetic scattering problem of a short-pulse plane wave by a perfectly-conducting circular cylinder, buried in a dielectric half-space, is solved by means of a cylindrical-wave approach (CWA). The incident plane wave may have a rather general shape in the time domain. The technique is applicable for arbitrary polarization, for any cylinder size and burial depth, and it gives results ...

The effectiveness of the Clean Water Act in mandating abatement gross pollution by setting technology standards for categories municipal and industrial point sources is well documented. Still, CWA has not been modernized to update water quality standards, it readily employed latest science, benefits have documented nearly enough. Increasingly insidious attempts undermine its continued arisen ov...

Various coagulation tests like Prothrombin Time (PT) and Activated Partial Thromboplastin (APTT) are estimated by automated analyzers. The newer fully analyzers generate clot wave forms aPTT-CWA for these parameters derived. In this study, the objective was to analyze form characteristics morphology its first second derivative values in cases with abnormal APTT. ACL TOP 300 generated curves APT...

Most of the water used for development main socio-economic activities in Central-Western Argentina (CWA), an arid to semi-arid region, home most Argentinean wine production, relies on surface streamflow from several snow-fed rivers. During last decade (2010-2020), reduced snow accumulation over higher elevations Andes mountains triggered occurrence hydrological drought CWA, affecting winter tou...

On four samples selected textile any additional modification (Ba, PES+Ba, PES+Ba+Nomex, Ba+Nomex) at Masaryk´s University (MU) in Brno applied a nozzle ten differ...

Answer Set Programming (ASP) and ontology languages like Description Logics (DLs) play leading roles in Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR&R). ASP and DLs have largely orthogonal features because they make very different assumptions regarding the completeness of information, and thus reasoning techniques and algorithms that are deployed in ASP are significantly different from the ones u...
