Change in software systems is inevitable, and occurs as mistakes are discovered in the initial design, or as part of incremental design. In current multi-component systems, upgrading systems and consequently discovering what components are effected by a given change is hard, and cannot be handled in an automated manner. This is mainly due to the fact that building software systems using current...

Recent observations in the theory of verse and empirical metrics have suggested that constructing a verse line involves a pattern-matching search through a source text, and that the number of found elements (complete words totaling a specified number of syllables) is given by dividing the total number of words by the mean number of syllables per word in the source text. This paper makes this la...

The growth pattern of children is affected by anthropometric dimensions. This study was aimed to investigate anthropometric factors related to growth of preschool children of a sample population in Iran. This study was performed in year 2011 on 1320 of 4–7 years old preschool children in Arak. To classify, body mass index (BMI), height and weight were recorded. The four contact points (head, ba...

[1] The seismic cycle on a major fault involves long periods of elastic strain and stress accumulation, driven by aseismic ductile deformation at depth, ultimately released by sudden fault slip events. Coseismic slip distributions are generally heterogeneous with most of the energy being released in the rupture of asperities. Since, on the long term, the fault’s walls generally do not accumulat...

Compressive and extensive horsetails are common structures on the lateral termination of brittle strike-slip faults, which forms within the shallow continental crust. Here we report another possibility, the lateral termination of a brittle strike-slip fault in a formation-parallel low-temperature ductile shear zone within sulphatic, gypsum-dominated evaporites. In the Southern Alps, over a dist...

Abstract Surging and streaming of glaciers are modulated by meltwater availability pressure which controls mechanical coupling at their beds. Using laboratory-scale experimental modelling palaeoglaciological mapping, we explore how subglacial drainage landsystems control efficiency ice flow velocities for terrestrial-based lobes resting on flat horizontal permeable Two end-members regimes, surg...

The sedimentary arrangement generated by overland flows remains an open question, particularly due to the sediment concentration variations of this flow. We create a laboratory experiment answer question: what type facies and structures can low (≈ 3 vol%) generate in steep-planar hillslope context with gently sloped sand accommodation area? Our revealed that noncanalized sediments are supercrit...

New Ar-Ar muscovite and Rb-Sr biotite age data in combination with structural analyses from the Apuseni Mountains provide new constraints on the timing and kinematics of deformation during the Cretaceous. Time-temperature paths from the structurally highest basement nappe of the Apuseni Mountains in combination with sedimentary data indicate exhumation and a position close to the surface after ...

[1] Restoration of the dichotomy boundary to its original position to assess its origin requires a thorough knowledge of processes responsible for its degradation and retreat. The unique fretted terrain, located along the DeuteronilusProtonilus Mensae northern mid-latitude portion of the boundary, has been long held to provide clues to dichotomy degradation processes. We use new spacecraft data...
