We introduce a strategy for the verification of relational specifications based on the analysis of monotonicity of variables within formulas. By comparing with the Alloy Analyzer, we show that for a relevant class of problems this technique outperforms analysis of the same problems using SAT-solvers, while consuming a fraction of the memory SAT-solvers require.

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Banach space operator with the single valued extension property (SVEP) to satisfy Weyl’s theorem and a-Weyl’s theorem. We show that if T or T ∗ has SVEP and T is transaloid, then Weyl’s theorem holds for f(T ) for every f ∈ H(σ(T )). When T ∗ has SVEP, T is transaloid and T is a-isoloid, then a-Weyl’s theorem holds for f(T ) for every f ∈ H(σ(T ...

Suomi NPP VIIRS SWIR band M11 (2.25 μm) has larger radiometric uncertainty compared to the rest of the reflective solar bands. This is due to a number of reasons including prelaunch calibration uncertainties. One of the most commonly used technique to verify the radiometric stability and accuracy of VIIRS is by intercomparing it with other well calibrated radiometers such as MODIS. However one ...

Current methods to evaluate the severity and progression of the disease, effectiveness of therapy and survival among cancer patients are generally limited in their prognostic ability. Whole-body phase angle, measured by using a tetrapolar, phase-sensitive bioelectrical impedance analyzer, offers a new approach. Phase angle (arc tangent of the ratio of reactance to resistance) is a non-invasive ...
