It is not an overstatement to say that the gap between software design and performance evaluation techniques has caused the misuse of the last ones by software engineers. The UML profile for schedulability, performance and time [13] arose from the intention to close both fields, software engineering and performance analysis. Nevertheless the gap remains, since it is difficult for software engin...

Modeling the flow curves of materials at elevated temperatures is the first step in mathematical simulation of the hot deformation processes of them. In this work a comparative study was provided to examine the capability of three different constitutive equations in modeling the hot deformation flow curves of AZ91 magnesium alloy. For this, the Arrhenius equation with strain dependent constants...

the main objective in this paper is creating a method for one-dimensional modeling of multi stage axial flow turbine. the calculation used in this technique is based on common thermodynamics and aerodynamics principles in a mean stream line analyses. in this approach, loss models have to be used to determine the entropy increase across each section in the turbine stage. finally, the analysis an...

Microservice architecture has transformed the way developers are building and deploying applications in nowadays cloud computing centers. This new approach provides increased scalability, flexibility, manageability, performance while reducing complexity of whole software development life cycle. The increase resource utilization also benefits microservice providers. Various platforms have emerge...

We present a general picture of the parallel meta-heuristic search for optimization. We recall the main concepts and strategies in designing parallel metaheuristics, pointing to a number of contributions that instantiated them for neighborhoodand populationbased meta-heuristics, and identify trends and promising research directions. We focus on cooperation-based strategies, which display remark...

Foreign language (FL) knowledge has been shown to contribute significantly to FL reading performance. Studies have contrasted the contribution of FL vocabulary and syntactic knowledge, following a dichotomous view of these components, producing mixed results. Despite the increasingly recognized formulaic nature of language, the contribution made by phraseological knowledge to reading ability ha...
