We present an approach towards automatic component assembly based on aspect-oriented generative domain modeling. It involves the lifecycle covering the component specification generation, and subsequent assembly of implementation components to produce the final software system. Aspect-oriented techniques are applied to capture the crosscutting concerns that emerge during the assembly process. S...

First, we theoretically analyze the MMD-based estimates. Our analysis establishes that, under some mild conditions, the estimate is statistically consistent. More importantly, it provides an upper bound on the error in the estimate in terms of intuitive geometric quantities like class separation and data spread. Next, we use the insights obtained from the theoretical analysis, to propose a nove...

We propose a scenario decomposition algorithm for stochastic 0-1 programs. The algorithm recovers an optimal solution by iteratively exploring and cutting-off candidate solutions obtained from solving scenario subproblems. The scheme is applicable to quite general problem structures and can be implemented in a distributed framework. Illustrative computational results on standard two-stage stoch...

The investigation was conducted on wet and dry seasons of Ethiopia during the year 2012/2013 at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center Nursery site. Four levels of cutting size and three levels of cutting positions were arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on seedling height, branch number/seedling, root number/seedling, root weigh/seedling, root length/s...

Introduction: Due to the non-developed mechanization situation, chainsaw is a widely used tool in Iranian forests. This tool can trigger unwelcome disorders (e.g., white finger syndrome) due to the transmitted vibrations from its handle to the body members. Characterizing these vibrations can result in minimizing the intensity of these disorders. This study aims to investigate the effect of dif...

Aspect-oriented requirements modelling separates the early crosscutting concerns as quality requirements such that one can reason about such requirements without cluttering with another. In this chapter, we propose a step further to reason about the dynamic goal models while the separated aspectual requirements are also dynamic. The key to this step is a list of change propagation rules for the...

STUDY DESIGN Two-factor, mixed experimental design. OBJECTIVES To compare movement patterns of subjects who are anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient and classified as noncopers to controls during early stance of anticipated and unanticipated straight and cutting tasks. BACKGROUND Altered neuromuscular control of subjects that are ACL deficient and noncoper theoretically influences mov...

for vegetative propagation of nemaguard, st julien a, tetra and gf677 rootstocks via cutting, two separate experiments were carried out in a factorial based on completely randomized design. semi hardwood cuttings were taken in late august and then treated with concentrations of zero, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000 mg/l iba. cuttings were cultured in perlite medium and in a greenhouse with mist syste...

A virtual machine tool (VMT) is presented in this two-part paper. In Part 1, the analytical foundation for a virtual machining system is developed, which is envisioned as the foundation for a comprehensive simulation environment capable of predicting the outcome of cutting processes. The VMT system undergoes “pseudo-real machining”, before actual cutting with a CNC machine tool takes place, to ...
