The optimal synthesis and design of thermal power plants is best addressed using mathematical optimization techniques. However, conventional optimization methods require the user to manually define a priori the potential solution space through the modeling of a superstructure, which is a timeconsuming, complex, and error-prone task. More importantly, the final superstructure model can not guara...

Crystals, free from twinning, ofthe monoclinic phase oftricalcium silicate exhibiting superstructure reflections have been obtained. Crystal data are: a = 33.083(8), b = 7.027(2), e = 18.499(4) A, f3 = 94.12(2)°, Z = 36 x CaZ.89Mgo.ll0Si04, V = 4289 A3. The structure analysis was carried out using 3886 independent reflection intensities measured on a single-crystal diffractometer. The unit cell...

Maintenance following implant treatment is essential to ensure long-term stability. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to investigate the factors leading patients to discontinue maintenance following implant treatment. Among the 729 patients that underwent implantation at the Department of Oral Implantology, Osaka Dental University Hospital from January 2008 to December 2012, 41 patie...

Themajor revision work for UML 2.0 is complete, and it is now an OMG Final Adopted Specification. This is a good time to reflect on UML’s future, and the future of modeldriven development. In April 2003 the U2 Partners submission team completed the final editing changes to the third revision of its Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.0 Superstructure proposal, and submitted it to the Object Manag...

We extract from sentences a superstructure made of argumentative operators and connectives applying to the remaining set of terminal sub-sentences. We found the argumentative interpretation of utterances on a semantics defined at the linguistic level. We describe the computation of this particular semantics, based on the constraints that the superstructure impels to the argumentative power of t...

Currently many dental implant systems with varied and numerous components are available commercially, and with new implant systems and designs emerging, it is essential that the user understands that any system selected should be based on sound scientific principles and capable of osseoil!tegration. This has been defined in many different ways, with biomaterial, biological and biomechanical fac...

lateral resistance of railway track is one of the most important parameters in lateral stability. this parameterdepends!on the conditions of different components of ballasted railway track (such as density of ballast layer,sleeper spacing, type of sleeper, etc.). from this perspective, type of sleeper has an important effect on lateralresistance. however in some conditions, in technical and eco...

The implementation of digital government to improve the quality public services requires transforming from just 'electronic' becoming more 'smart' services. Therefore, needs a strategy and policy prepare foundation model work properly achieve this transformation goal. This study aims develop validate for smart system suitable Indonesia's government. mixed-method based on quantitative qualitativ...
