The anisotropic structure of fluidized suspensions is governed by their microstructures which are in turn determined by the dynamics of particle pair interactions. Here, we present a numerical simulation of particle interaction in linearly stratified fluids. It is shown that unlike homogeneous fluids, stratification results in the attraction of particles settling abreast. The attraction between...

A B S T R A C T Despite huge investments by vendors and users, CAD productivity remains disappointing. Our analysis of realworld CAD usage shows that even after many years of experience, users tend to use suboptimal strategies to perform complex CAD tasks. Additionally, some of these strategies have a marked resemblance to manual drafting techniques. Although this phenomenon has been previously...

The paper presents a logic-based approach to legislative meta-drafting. A class of meta-data, corresponding to specific classes of legal provisions, is introduced and discussed. Such meta-data are then formalized using a simple and tractable Description Logic, and the reasoning tasks available in the formalism are described.

Capture, specification, and communication of requirements is now a critical issue in the product development process. Systems Modeling Language (SysML) was developed to address systems engineering needs. In this approach, use cases are developed along with lists of actions necessary to put them into practice. This paper focuses on the early phases of applying textual and diagrammatic narratives...

Law is a set of rules or norms of conduct which mandate, proscribe or permit specified relationships among people and organizations, provide methods for ensuring the impartial treatment of such people, and provide punishments for those who do not follow the established rules of conduct. Drafting regulations and policies are a complicated process requiring a careful coordination and understandin...
