چکیده

|In recent years, a number of proposals have been made to extend conventional conceptual data modeling techniques with concepts for modeling complex object structures. Among the most prominent proposed concepts is the concept of collection type. A collection type is an object type of which the instances are sets of instances of an other object type. A drawback of the introduction of such a new concept is that the formal deenition of the technique involved becomes considerably more complex. This is a result of the fact that collection types are populatable types and such types tend to complicate updates. In this paper it is shown how a new kind of constraint, the extensional uniqueness constraint, allows for an alternative treatment of collection types avoiding update problems. The formal deenition of this constraint type is presented, other advantages of its introduction are discussed, and its consequences for, among others, identiication schemes are elaborated.

Genealogical method of urban typo-morphology with the aim of deriving pattern for providing form-based codes

Introduction: The emergence of form-based codes (FBCs), along with the familiar and near-universal rejection of conventional zoning, is a complex story, and more interesting than might first be supposed. The Codes Study generally does not track developer-driven form-based codes. The socio-economic context of form-based codes has shown positive FBC impacts on physical and environmental well-bein...

Deriving Summaries Through an Identity-Based Approach

The existence of large datasets requires methods for producing simpler or summarized views of data. Typical approaches to summarization based on statistics do not capture completely the semantics associated with coarser views of spatio-temporal phenomena. In this paper, methods for deriving summaries of spatio-temporal objects are described and a set of operators is introduced for evolving summ...

DERIVING THE EQUATION OF STATE FOR LIQUIDS AND EXTENSION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDING STATES

A new simple model is introduced for a liquid and an equation of state is derived based on this model and the statistical mechanical calculations. This equation of state works well for the non-polar and slightly polar liquids. The important conclusion that may be deduced from this equation of state is that if the reduced variables of state are chosen and defined appropriately, then, the pri...

Housework Share between Partners : Experimental Evidence on Gender Identity

Using an experimental design, we investigate the reasons behind the gendered division of housework within couples. In particular, we assess whether the fact that women do more housework may be explained by differences in preferences deriving from differences in gender identity between men and women. We find little evidence of any systematic gender differences in the preference for housework, su...
