specification of a component  The abstract specification contains a formal model of design component, called design component contract.  A design component contract includes structural contract, behavioural contract and interface contract 11/06/2013 11 SEDE 2010, San Francisco The abstract specification contract is defined by:  ASC::={, ,, } For all i, j / i # j name.cpi # ...

Given any infinite structureM with a decidable first-order theory, we give a sufficient condition in terms of the Gaifman graph of M, which ensures that M can be expanded with some non-definable predicate in such a way that the first-order theory of the expansion is still decidable.

This article analyzes alleged underpricing of general liability insurance prior to the mid-1980s liability insurance "crisis." The theoretical analysis considers whether moral hazard and/or heterogeneous information for forecasting claim costs can cause some firms to price too low and depress other firms' prices. Crosssectional analysis of insurer loss forecast revisions (which should be greate...

INTRODUCTION A previous study has suggested that the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) allele DQB1*06:02 affects hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) but not hypercapnic ventilatory response (HCVR) in an Asian population. The current study evaluated the relationship in Caucasians and Asians. In addition we assessed whether gender or polymorphisms in genes participating in the control of breathing aff...

the hydrolysis of cadmium nitrate was studied spectrophotometrically at different ionic strengthsof sodium perchlorate in a wide ph range, 1-12, and at 25 c. least squares calculations areconsistent with the formation of m(oh)+, m(oh)2, m(oh)3- and m(oh)42- species, which m iscd2+. the dependency on ionic strength in the background electrolyte solutions was taken intoaccount by using a debye-hu...

The knowledge of genetic diversity of tree crop is very important for breeding and improvement program for the purpose of improving the yield and quality of its produce. Genetic diversity study and analysis of genetic relationship among 20 Moringa oleifera were carried out with the aid of twelve primers from, random amplified polymorphic DNA marker. The seeds of twenty M. oleifera genotypes fro...

The Cantor set complementary to the Devil’s Staircase associated with the Circle Map has a fractal dimension d ∼ 0.87, universal for a wide range of maps, such results being of a numerical character. In this paper we deduce a formula for such dimensional value, the corresponding theoretical reasoning permits conjecturing on the nature of its universality. The Devil’s Staircase associated with t...
