The paper presents an extension for the JavaBeans component model that enables creating composed components dynamically, at runtime, without code generation. The composed components created can be used immediately for instantiation having their instances used for execution or for further components composition. The dynamic abilities are supported by extended type implementation based on additio...

The LEED pattern of clean (101) surfaces of Au show a characteristic (1 X 2) superstructure. The diffuseness of reflections in the reciprocal [OlO] direction is caused by onedimensional disorder of chains, strictly ordered into spatial [lo]] direction. There is a transition from this disordered superstructure to the normal (1 X 1) structure at 420 r 15°C. The angular profiles of the (04) and (0...

This experimental investigation deals with the earthquake behaviour of a nominally symmetric and a mass-asymmetric three-storey structural model isolated with the frictional pendulum system (FPS). Both accidental and natural torsion are evaluated in the structure by using recorded accelerations in all building oors and measured deformations at the isolation level. A 3D-shaking table was used to...

Heat capacity and magnetization measurements strongly suggest that the onset of the stripe phase in La0.50Ca0.50MnO3, La0.48Ca0.52MnO3 and Pr0.48Ca0.52MnO3 is due to the formation of a charge density wave. The transition associated with the onset of the stripe phase is second order, and it can be well modelled as a Peierls transition (typically associated with chargedensity-wave formation) in a...

The aim of this article is to explain the use of a computer-aided three-dimensional planning protocol in combination with previously placed mini-implants and computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM) technology to restore a completely edentulous patient. Mini-implants were used to establish a setup for computerized tomographic imaging and a surgical template. The software an...
