As we move to developing object-oriented programs, the complexity traditionally found in functions and procedures is moving to the connections among components. Different faults occur when components are integrated to form higher level structures that aggregate behavior and state. Consequently, we need to place more effort on testing the connections among components. Although object-oriented te...

in this paper, an investigation on the relation between state-building and near eastern religion is attempted. analyzing the city-state of ḥaṭrā (iraq, close to kirkuk), it is demonstrated that pre-islamic state craft in the region was dependent on the initiative of the parthian monarchy in iran. the kings of the arsacid dynasty attempted to bestow the local arabic tribes in the jazira with a c...

this paper examines the economic effects of investment in developing and introducing almond late flowering cultivars (alfc) in a period of 52 years from 1968 to 2020, developed in sahand horticultural research station (shrs), using the economic surplus model and field survey data. alfc make almond supply curve move less to the left when there is a chilling case, thus affect the economic surplus...

We report a family of isostructural nonanuclear Fe(III)-Ln(III) cyclic coordination clusters [Fe(III)(6)Ln(III)(3)(μ-OMe)9(vanox)6(benz)6]. (Ln = Tb (1), Dy (2), Ho (3), Er (4), Tm (5), Yb (6), Lu (7), Y (8) and Gd (9)), containing an odd number of metal ions. The planar cyclic coordination cluster cores are built up from three [Fe2Ln] subunits.

This paper presents a tool, the PiVizTool, for the interactive simulation of choreographies. Different participant instances can be added, deleted, and dynamically bound during the simulation. The PiVizTool uses the π-calculus as the formal foundation for representing dynamic binding. It provides an interactive graphical representation of complex choreographies that can be simulated according t...
