METHODS In order to investigate the possible actions of hospitals, the study ...

Taylor and Ahuja (1935) reported that ' White mice bred in Kasaul...

In this work we deal with actions of vector groupoid which is a new concept in the literature‎. ‎After we give the definition of the action of a vector groupoid on a vector space‎, ‎we obtain some results related to actions of vector groupoids‎. ‎We also apply some characterizations of the category and groupoid theory to vector groupoids‎. ‎As the second part of the work‎, ‎we define the notion...

Transfer protocols are composed from basic protocol mechanisms and accordingly a complex protocol can be veriied by a series of relatively simple mechanism proofs. Our approach applies L. Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions (TLA). It is based on a modular compositional TLA-style and supports the analysis of exibly conngured high-speed transfer protocols.
