We derive the response of a volume grating to arbitrary small deformations, using a perturbative approach. This result is of interest for two applications: (a) when a deformation is undesirable and one seeks to minimize the diffracted field's sensitivity t ...
We discuss the structural, electronic and dielectric properties of a model structure of the Si(100)-SiO2 interface that accounts for the amorphous nature of the oxide. After showing that the structural properties of this model are consistent with a variety ...
This thesis presents the structural organization, theoretical foundations and basic application principles of Triune Continuum Paradigm, an original paradigm applicable to object-oriented modeling. The paradigm defines a metamodeling structure efficient in ...
The sound development of city-regions presents a major planning challenge, as these regions are and will be the living spaces for the majority of the population. Therefore, a key question is how city- regions can be managed so that they develop in a sustai ...

Use cases are the modeling technique of UML for formalizing the functional requirements placed on systems. This technique has limitations in modeling the context of a system, in relating systems involved in a same business process, in reusing use cases, an ...
This note gives a high level and informal account of the necessary part of the proof that Ω is the weakest failure detector to implement consensus with a majority of correct processes. The proof originally appeared in a widely cited but rarely understood p ...
Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) and Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) have the potential to contribute to the solution of the traffic congestion problem. DynaMIT is a real-time system that can be used to generate guidance for traveler ...
We carry out ion scattering simulations to investigate the nature of the transition region at the Si(100)-SiO2 interface. Ion scattering experiments performed in the channeling geometry provide us with a genuine interfacial property, the excess Si yield, r ...
We report findings of large metal grains (~150 um) with distinct zoning patterns in Ni, Co, Cr, and Si in CH chondrites which are consistent with a condensation origin from a gas of solar composition. ...
