a complete linear theory in four dimensional space-time is constructed for propagation and coupling of electromagnetic waves in the most general case, i.e. media where all three space directions are in homogeneous and where temporal changes, anisotropy and absorbtion are also included. the only condition is that the properties of the medium should be slowly varying, although it is assumed that ...

this study introduces the differential transform method (dtm) to analyse the free vibration response of a rotating, closed section, composite, timoshenko beam which features material coupling between flapwise bending and torsional vibrations due to ply orientation. the governing differential equations of motion are derived using hamilton’s principle and solved by applying dtm. the natural frequ...

We present a multiplication algorithm to recursively construct vertices for the Schrödinger functional in the abelian background field case. The algorithm is suited for automatic perturbative calculations with a variety of actions. As first applications, we derive ratios of the lambda parameters between the lattice scheme (improved gauge actions including six link loops) and the MS scheme, and ...

We introduce a new type system, where the type of a component consists of two protocols — a call and a use protocol. We model these protocols by finite automata and show how those reflect component enhancement and adaption. Coupling is controlled by a meta-protocol, which calls the adaption and enhancement algorithms. These algorithms require type information of the components involved. This ty...

This paper presents the AAA methodology and its systemlevel CAD software SynDEx, used to optimize the implementation of distributed embedded real-time applications, and how coupling this software with the scientific software package and the dynamic systems modeler and simulator Scilab/Scicos, allows to provide a seamless flow which improves the design safety, and decreases the development cycle...

Two main aspects in hardware/software co-design are hardware/software partitioning and co-synthesis. Most co-design approaches work only on one of these problems. In this paper, an approach coupling hard-ware/software partitioning and co-synthesis will be presented, working fully-automatic. The techniques have been integrated in the co-design tool Cool 1 supporting the complete design ow from s...

the synthesis, spectroscopy and magnetic characterization of five new dinuclear copper(ii) complexes are described. all five compounds have the general formula [cu2(l)4(o-r)2](cl)2 or [cu2(l)2(cl)2](cl)2, in which r = ch3 or h, l=2, 3 or 4-pyridinemethanol as l2, l3 or l4, respectively. the title compounds consist of dinuclear units with bridging methoxo groups in [cu2(l4)4(o-ch3)2](cl)2, hydro...
