There is a close connection between superposition-based design and aspect-orientation [6, 7, 10]. In [11] three steps were identi ed when composing modules describing overlapping concerns: matching units describing the same concepts, reconciliation of their possible di erences, and integration of the units. These problems, as well as many concerning distribution, have already been studied in th...

The multiple access channel with private messages has a single accepted capacity characterization. By contrast, when the same channel is considered with message sources that may be commonly known to multiple transmitters, a plurality of distinct capacity descriptions arises. Two descriptions currently exist in the literature, with the capacity region attained with superposition coding in one de...

A liquid obeys isochronal superposition if its dynamics is invariant along the isochrones in the thermodynamic phase diagram (the curves of constant relaxation time). This paper introduces two quantitative measures of isochronal superposition. The measures are used to test the following six liquids for isochronal superposition: 1,2,6 hexanetriol, glycerol, polyphenyl ether, diethyl phthalate, t...

The success of superposition-based theorem proving in first-order logic relies in particular on the fact that the superposition calculus is able to decide well-known classical decidable fragments of first-order logic and has been successful in identifying new decidable classes. In this paper, we extend this story to the hierarchic combination of linear arithmetic and first-order superposition. ...

Paul Brumer Chemical Physics Theory Group, Department of Chemistry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada M5S3H6 (Received 6 September 1995) Laser control over reactive and nonreactive collisional events of the B 1 C ! F 1 G type is shown possible via preparation of a superposition of degenerate initial states which interfere with one another. Required, however, is a controlled superposition o...

This paper elaborates on four previously proposed rules of engagement between conscious states and physiological states. A new rule is proposed that applies to a continuous model of conscious brain states that cannot precisely resolve eigenvalues. If two apparatus states are in superposition, and if their eigenvalues are so close together that they cannot be consciously resolved on this model, ...

Purpose The dosimetry procedure by simple superposition accounts only for the self-shielding of the source and does not take into account the attenuation of photons by the applicators. The purpose of this investigation is an estimation of the effects of the tandem and ovoid applicator on dose distribution inside the phantom by MCNP5 Monte Carlo simulations. Material and methods In this study,...

This paper is the second part of a series of two papers on the investigation of the connection between two methods for constructing LDPC codes, namely the superposition and the protograph-based methods. In the first part, by taking the graph point of view, we established a strong connection between these two construction methods and showed that, in the binary case, the protograph-based construc...
