We consider how programming-in-the-large diiers from programming-in-the-small. We then focus on resolving a critical connict that arises when building large software systems. Large systems have both the requirement to be adequately eecient in execution and suuciently exible to be maintainable in a changing world. For our purpose their scale is assumed to be such that multiple processors, multip...

The objective of this work is to develop deep theoretical methods that are based on the solution of the integral boundary layer equations for investigating film cooling in liquid rocket engine. The integral model assumes that heat is transferred from hot free stream gas to the liquid film both by convection and radiation. The mass is transferred to the free srteam gas by the well-known blowing ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of corporate governance mechanisms in preventing the bankruptcy of companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange. For this purpose, corporate governance mechanisms, including institutional ownership, non-executive members of the board, CEO dual responsibility and free float stock are determined as independent variables and Bankruptcy based on the ...

" Interface free energy is the contribution to the free energy of a system due to the presence of an interface separating two coexisting phases at equilibrium ". It is also called interfacial free energy or surface tension. The content of the article is 1) the definition of the interface free energy from first principles of statistical mechanics; 2) a detailed exposition of its thermodynamical ...

2014 A method systematically improving the annealed bounds (for the free energy and the ground state energy) is presented and illustrated by the example of disordered Ising models. An optimization procedure leads to new bounds for which the critical behaviour differs from the pure model behaviour. Geometrical effects, such as frustration, can also be included in this method. We obtain simple ex...

We obtain the diagonal reflection matrices for a recently introduced family of dilute AL lattice models in which the A3 model can be viewed as an Ising model in a magnetic field. We calculate the surface free energy from the crossing-unitarity relation and thus directly obtain the critical magnetic surface exponent δs for L odd and surface specific heat exponent for L even in each of the variou...

We conjecture that neutrino physics might correspond to the spontaneous magnetisation phase of an Ising-like spin model interaction coupled to neutrino chirality which operates at scales close to the Planck mass. We argue that this scenario leads to a simple extension of the Standard Model with no additional parameters that dynamically generates parity violation and spontaneous symmetry breakin...

A fractal set which corresponds to the six-vertex model has been obtained and a relationship between the free energy of the six-vertex model and the fractal dimension of the fractal set was established. Notions which correspond to the transfer matrix and the n-equivalence has been found in the area of the fractal geometry. This correspondence can be generalized to the case of the models suitabl...
