Themajor revision work for UML 2.0 is complete, and it is now an OMG Final Adopted Specification. This is a good time to reflect on UML’s future, and the future of modeldriven development. In April 2003 the U2 Partners submission team completed the final editing changes to the third revision of its Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.0 Superstructure proposal, and submitted it to the Object Manag...

We extract from sentences a superstructure made of argumentative operators and connectives applying to the remaining set of terminal sub-sentences. We found the argumentative interpretation of utterances on a semantics defined at the linguistic level. We describe the computation of this particular semantics, based on the constraints that the superstructure impels to the argumentative power of t...

A new cavity-chain layout has been proposed for the main linac of the TESLA linear collider [1]. This superstructure-layout is based upon four 7-cell superconducting standing-wave cavities, coupled by short beam pipes. The main advantages of the superstructure are an increase in the active accelerating length in TESLA and a saving in rf components , especially power couplers, as compared to the...

In this work a systematic framework is introduced to synthesize the optimal separation process of azeotropic mixtures. The proposed framework, which can handle an arbitrary number of components, consists of two main steps: a system analysis and a state-space superstructure algorithm. The system analysis is composed of some equation-oriented algorithms to supply basic information for the superst...

The ground-state electronic order in doped manganites is frequently associated with a lattice modulation, contributing to their many interesting properties. However, measuring the thermal evolution of the lattice superstructure with reciprocal-space probes alone can lead to ambiguous results with competing interpretations. Here we provide direct observations of the evolution of the superstructu...

One of the effective techniques to strengthen subgrade is boring and mixing technology, which based on immersion vertical elements – piles into subgrade. This method strengthening significantly affects stress state track superstructure. Two options placement are examined in this paper. To determine influence position superstructure, appropriate finite-element models were created. The fully refl...

In this paper, the mechanical behaviors of bridges with unseating prevention devices in the superstructure were investigated. These devices can prevent bridge from unseating and divert most of the seismic forces from transferring to the bridge columns. The models of the rubber bearing, restrainer, and shear key were proposed and implemented into the SAP 2000 to obtain the seismic response of th...

Λ-Cobalt(III) sepulchrate trinitrate crystallizes in P6322 with Z = 2 (Z' = 1/6) at room temperature. Slabs perpendicular to the hexagonal axis comprise molecules Co(sepulchrate) alternating with nitrate groups A and B. Coordinated by six sepulchrate molecules, highly disordered nitrate groups C are accommodated between the slabs. Here we report the fully ordered, low-temperature crystal struct...
