The effects of incorporating local mechanical behaviour into a structural analysis of a cast ductile iron component are investigated. A recently presented simulation strategy, the closed chain of simulations for cast components, is applied to incorporate local behaviour predicted by a casting process simulation into a Finite Element Method (FEM) structural analysis, and the effects of the strat...

Today, it is possible to generate major parts of a software system from models. Most of the generated code, however, concerns the structural parts of the software; the parts that concern the functionality or behaviour of a system are still programmed manually. In order to overcome this problem, we are developing the concept of coordination diagrams that define the global behaviour on top of str...

Symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity frequently co-occur with language difficulties in both clinical and community samples. We explore the specificity and strength of these associations in a heterogeneous sample of 254 children aged 5 to 15 years identified by education and health professionals as having problems with attention, learning and/or memory. Parents/carers rated pragmatic and st...
