4 Abstract—Elasticity is a fundamental feature of cloud computing and can be considered as a great advantage and a key benefit of 5 cloud computing. One key challenge in cloud elasticity is lack of consensus on a quantifiable, measurable, observable, and calculable 6 definition of elasticity and systematic approaches to modeling, quantifying, analyzing, and predicting elasticity. Another key ch...

In this paper Basel regulation is modeled in Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) framework. For this purpose, using data from 1981-2017 for Iran, capital adequacy as an importance regulation is modeled. Results show Basel regulation has procyclical effect. According to the results of the model and according to the realities of economy and banking system of Iran, in recession, lending ...

The modeling of the elastic properties of disordered or nanoscale solids requires the foundations of the theory of elasticity to be revisited, as one explores scales at which this theory may no longer hold. The only cases for which microscopically based derivations of elasticity are documented are (nearly) uniformly strained lattices. A microscopic approach to elasticity is proposed. As a first...

The aim of this paper is to extend, to the linear elasticity system, the asymptotic analysis by compensated compactness previously developed by the authors for the linear diffusion equation. For simplicity, we restrict ourselves to stratified media. In the case of sole homogenization we recover the classical result of W.H. Mc Connel, deriving explicitly the effective elasticity tensor for strat...

This study evaluated microtensile bond strength (μTBS), degree of conversion, modulus of elasticity and ultramicrohardness of three etch-and-rinse adhesives systems. The materials evaluated were: Ambar (FGM), Optibond (Kerr) and Magic Bond (Vigodent). The degree of conversion was analyzed by FTIR/ATR. To evaluate bond strength (μTBS) in dentin, 15 teeth (n = 5) were restored and sliced to obtai...

We consider the equations of linear homogeneous anisotropic elasticity admitting the possibility that the material is internally constrained, and formulate a simple necessary and sufficient condition for the fundamental boundary value problems to be well-posed. For materials fulfilling the condition, we establish continuous dependence of the displacement and stress on the elastic moduli and ell...
