The presented work deals with a special modelling method that is relevant to analyse reconfigurable manufacturing systems during their design phase and to anticipate their behaviour when they themselves are viewed as anticipatory systems. The technique named nested simulation consists in the simulation of elements that simulate their own environment using their own models. It enables a design p...

This article provides a formal data model which allows to establish geometrical-topological integrity of areal objects in a geographical information system (GIS). The data model leads to an automatic tool able to check consistency of a given set of data and to avoid inconsistencies caused by updates of the database. To this end we start from the mathematical notion of a map which provides an ir...

In this work we address contributions from scalars to (g − 2)μ. In order to explain the recently measured deviation by the BNL experiment on (g − 2)μ, it is necessary that these scalars are either light or couple strongly with muons. Here we explore this last possibility. We show that a scalar with mass of the order of 10 GeV provides significant contribution to (g − 2)μ if the Yukawa coupling ...
