Muitas empresas de desenvolvimento software não estão preparadas para lidar com as incertezas, quais podem contribuir o insucesso na condução projetos e até mesmo levar ao término antecipado. Assim, este artigo apresenta um protótipo objetivo oferecer melhores práticas em atividades manutenção serviços a implementação do CMMI-DEV Micro Pequeno Porte (MPEs) software. Para validar utilizaram-se h...

A self-map, either single-valued or multi-valued, is multiply fixed if every map homotopic to it has at least two fixed points. Let p : X̃ → X be a finite covering space, of degree n, of a connected finite polyhedron, and let f : X → X be a map. We lift f to an n-valued map φp,f : X̃ ( X̃ and prove that it is multiply fixed if the Nielsen number of f is greater than or equal to two. We obtain a fo...

We perform a renormalization group transformation to construct a lattice theory of chiral fermions. The field variables of the continuum theory are averaged over hypercubes to define lattice fields. Integrating out the continuum variables in perturbation theory we derive a chirally invariant effective action for the lattice fields. This is consistent with the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem because th...

Let X be a compact 2-manifold with nonempty boundary ∂X and let f : (X, ∂X) → (X, ∂X) be a boundary-preserving map. Denote by MF∂ [f ] the minimum number of fixed point among all boundary-preserving maps that are homotopic through boundary-preserving maps to f . The relative Nielsen number N∂(f) is the sum of the number of essential fixed point classes of the restriction f̄ : ∂X → ∂X and the num...

We consider a genus 2 surface, M , of constant negative curvature and we construct a 12-sided fundamental domain, where the sides are segments of the lifts of closed geodesics on M (which determines the Fenchel–Nielsen–Maskit coordinates). Then we study the linear fractional transformations of the side pairing of the fundamental domain. This construction gives rise to 24 distinct points on the ...

Examples exist of smooth maps on the boundary of a smooth manifold M which allow continuous extensions over M without fixed points but no such smooth extensions. Such maps are studied here in more detail. They have a minimal fixed point set when all transversally fixed maps in their homotopy class are considered. Therefore we introduce a Nielsen fixed point theory for transversally fixed maps o...

Assignment of soils to hydrologic soil groups has been based on published criteria subjectively interpreted and applied by soil scientists. As a result hydrologic soil group placement for any given soil lacks consistency of method and correlation to the respective soil's physical properties. A method of placing soil into hydrologic soil groups was developed using fuzzy systems techniques. This ...

We construct an exact regular vortex solution to the self-dual equations of the Abelian Higgs model in non-commutative space for arbitrary values of θ. To this end, we propose an ansatz which is the analogous, in Fock space, to the one leading to exact solutions for the Nielsen-Olesen vortex in commutative space. We compute the flux and energy of the solution and discuss its relevant properties.

The cosmopolitan, deep sea, aphyonid genus Aphyonus is known from less than 100 specimens. The type species A. gelatinosus Günther, 1878 and three additional valid species, A. brevidorsalis Nielsen, 1969, A. bolini Nielsen, 1974, and A. rassi Nielsen, 1975 were all based on single specimens. Since then several specimens have been caught of which 52 are examined for the present revision. Most of...
