A method is described for proving “always possibly” properties of specifications in formalisms with linear-time trace semantics. It is shown to be relatively complete for TLA (Temporal Logic of Actions) specifications.

The effect of two training systems (Central Leader with branch pruning versus Centrifugal Training with minimal pruning, i.e., removal of fruiting laterals only) on canopy structure and light interception was analyzed in three architecturally contrasting apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) cultivars: 'Scarletspur Delicious' (Type II); 'Golden Delicious' (Type III); and 'Granny Smith' (Type IV). Tree...

Thin layer application (TLA) of dredged sediments has emerged as an adaptive management option for marshes that are not increasing in elevation fast enough to keep pace with local relative sea level rise. While there have been multiple previous demonstrations TLA, is limited pre-and post-application monitoring data available from past projects develop guidance concerning optimal siting, design ...

The state-based formal methods B and TLA share the common base of predicate logic, arithmetic and set theory. However, there are still considerable differences, such as the way to specify state transitions, the different approaches to typing, and the available tool support. In this paper, we present a translation from B to TLA to validate B specifications using the model checker TLC. The transl...

Objective: To present our laparoscopic surgery experience in the treatment of adrenal masses. Methods: Between January 2008 and March 2015, a total of 58 adrenal glands in 54 patients (39 females, 15 males) underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (TLA) to remove an adrenal mass. The patients underwent hormonal evaluation, triphasic magnetic resonance imaging, and/or abdominal compu...

The shuttle pump is a novel implantable total artificial heart (TAH) concept based on Linear-Rotary Actuator (LiRA) and currently under development at the Power Electronic Systems Laboratory, ETH Zurich in close partnership with Charité Berlin Medical University of Vienna. This paper presents analysis, design realization ShuttlePump Linear (LA) part, which necessary to provide about 45 N axial ...

This paper deals with the application of verification techniques in the context of MDA. The main emphasis is on the UML profile xUML and on TLA based verification and specification methods.

Biochemical study of thymus leukemia antigen (TL) from thymocytes of various Tla genotypes and from leukemia cells revealed features that, given present evidence, are peculiar to TL among class I products of the H-2:Qa:Tla region of chromosome 17. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of TL from thymocytes of all TL+ mouse strains, precipitated by anti-TL antiseru...

Pri poimenovanju in klasifikaciji tal se že vse od njenih začetkov soočamo z izzivi, ki izhajajo tako iz vpeljave tujih neznanih izrazov kot sprememb diagnostičnih meril analitskih postopkov, s katerimi jih preverjamo. prevajanju imen pedosistematskih enot Pedološke karte Slovenije (1 : 25.000) za namen mednarodnih publikacij zemljevida Evrope, smo zasledili težave pri razumevanju akričnih tal....
