Electron Ion Collider: The Next QCD Frontier: Understanding the glue that binds us all
2016
International audience; This White Paper presents the science case of an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), focused on the structure and interactions of gluon-dominated matter, with the intent to articulate it to the broader nuclear science community. It was commissioned by the managements of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) with the objective of presenting a summary of scientific opportunities and goals of the EIC as a follow-up to the 2007 NSAC Long Range plan. This document is a culmination of a community-wide effort in nuclear science following a series of workshops on EIC physics over the past decades and, in particular, the focus…
The MESA Experimental Program: A Laboratory for Precision Physics with Electron Scattering at Low Energy
2021
A rich experimental program is currently being prepared at a new laboratory for high-intensity electron scattering at the Mainz Energy recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA). The physics pro...
Multiresolution based on weighted averages of the hat function I: Linear reconstruction techniques
1998
In this paper we analyze a particular example of the general framework developed in [A. Harten, {\it SIAM J. Numer. Anal}., 33 (1996) pp. 1205--1256], the case in which the discretization operator is obtained by taking local averages with respect to the hat function. We consider a class of reconstruction procedures which are appropriate for this multiresolution setting and describe the associated prediction operators that allow us to climb up the ladder from coarse to finer levels of resolution. In Part I we use data-independent (linear) reconstruction techniques as our approximation tool. We show how to obtain multiresolution transforms in bounded domains and analyze their stability with r…
Convex and expansive liftings close to two-isometries and power bounded operators
2021
Abstract In the context of Hilbert space operators, there is a strong relationship between convex and expansive operators and 2-isometries. In this paper, we investigate the bounded linear operators T on a Hilbert space H which have a 2-isometric lifting S on a Hilbert space K containing H as a closed subspace invariant for S ⁎ S . This last property holds in particular when S | K ⊖ H is an isometry. We relate such 2-isometric liftings S by some convex, concave or expansive liftings of the same type as S. We also examine some power bounded operators with such liftings, as well as an intermediate expansive lifting associated with T on the space H ⊕ l + 2 ( H ) . The latter notion is used to …
High-quality computational tools for linear-algebra problems in FEM electromagnetic simulation [EM Programmer's Notebook]
2004
A key ingredient of finite-element analysis programs is the linear-algebra solver, typically either a linear-system solver or an eigensolver. The first part of This work tries to justify why it is important to have recourse to publicly available software for addressing this part of the computation. A number of libraries are mentioned as successful examples that exhibit a series of desirable qualities. Although some of these libraries force the programmer to somewhat change the programming style and may be difficult to learn, the benefits usually pay off the extra effort. The second part of the paper describes one of these libraries in some detail, namely SLEPc, the Scalable Library for Eige…
Object Migration Automata for Non-equal Partitioning Problems with Known Partition Sizes
2021
Part 4: Automated Machine Learning; International audience; Solving partitioning problems in random environments is a classic and challenging task, and has numerous applications. The existing Object Migration Automaton (OMA) and its proposed enhancements, which include the Pursuit and Transitivity phenomena, can solve problems with equi-sized partitions. Currently, these solutions also include one where the partition sizes possess a Greatest Common Divisor (GCD). In this paper, we propose an OMA-based solution that can solve problems with both equally and non-equally-sized groups, without restrictions on their sizes. More specifically, our proposed approach, referred to as the Partition Siz…
IP-OOP interaction in URM infilled frame structures: A new macro-modelling proposal
2020
Abstract Reinforced concrete frame structures with unreinforced masonry (URM) infills represent a common construction practice all over the world. To correctly assess the seismic performance of these structures, prediction of the behaviour of masonry infills under in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OOP) loading, as well as their interaction, is of primary importance. Different approaches are available in the literature with different levels of approximation for assessment of the IP-OOP infill response, showing increasing interest in this field. In this context, this paper presents a new macro-element model which can simulate the behaviour of URM infill walls under seismic IP and OOP actions. T…
The inheritance workshop
2002
International audience; The Inheritance Workshop at ECOOP 2002, which took place on Tuesday, 11 June, was the first ECOOP workshop focusing on inheritance after the successful workshops in 1991 and 1992. The workshop was intended as a forum for designers and implementers of object-oriented languages, and for software developers with an interest in inheritance. It was organized by Andrew P. Black, Erik Ernst, Peter Grogono, and Markku Sakkinen.
Mobile agents principles of operation
2004
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the mobile agent technology and summarizes their features, principles of operation and implementation elements. Some development tools are also discussed. The chapter provides general description of mobile agents as an advanced software paradigm, which extends object oriented programming. Then it discusses principles of operation starting from agent intelligent behavior and continuing with mobility, communication, coordination, and fault tolerance. Finally, as for related topics, monitoring, performances, and security issues are discussed in the chapter. Agent monitoring techniques are very useful because they allow users to know which agents are run…

2007
In the framework of function points associated to OO-method conceptual models (OOmFP), measuring the functional size of an information system in a precise and automatic way starting from its conceptual model is today a reality. The industrial application of the OO-Method modelling tools has resulted in their evolution, incorporating support for new functional elements. The present work shows the measurement rules associated to the new functional elements supported by OO-Method conceptual models, applying these rules in tools that generate executable code from OO-Method conceptual models. Finally, a comparative analysis is performed over OO-Method models of real systems. The comparative anal…
