Chillies is a novel approach for variable model transformations closing the gap between abstract architecture models, used for performance prediction, and required low-level details. We enable variability of transformations ...

Today, pharmaceutical products are submitted to a large number of analytical tests, planned to either ensure or construct their quality. The official methods of analysis used to perform these determinations are very different ...

Recent experiments involving a relatively large population of neurons have shown a very significant amount of higher-order correlations. However, little is known of how these affect the integration and firing behavior of ...

Model-driven Engineering (MDE) is a paradigmthat promotes the use of models and automatic model transfor-mations to handle complex software developments. Model trans-formations promise to reduce the effort ...

This paper proposes a procedure to identify a stochastic Bouc-Wen model for describing the dynamics of a structure assembled by bolted joints considering vibration data. The proposed identification approach is expressed ...

This article discusses in depth some theses already analyzed in a previous publication and applies the obtained conclusions to legislative authorities.  The first purpose of the paper is to determine what kind of rules are ...

The renormalization in a Lorentz-breaking scalar-spinor higher-derivative model involving phi(4) self-interaction and the Yukawa-like coupling is studied. We explicitly de-monstrate that the convergence is improved in ...
