As we discussed in Chapter 3, complexity can be both local and global, while the exact meaning of local/global depends on point of view: Global complexity is local complexity at a higher level of abstraction, and vice versa. But what exactly makes one design modular and another one complex...
However, due to the presence of parasitic capacitance in the analog circuit, the initial value of the system cannot be controlled, meaning that the initial values in analog circuits are random54,55,56. In contrast, digital hardware achieves computation through programming and then converts the ...
In this work, the elements used are isoparametric, meaning displacement and geometry are interpolated using the same shape functions. Additionally, the BEM requires the discretisation of tractions over the boundary, which in this work is assumed to be the same as the discretisation for geometry and...
The modern frontier in the search for alternatives to general relativity (GR) is characterised by a very large number of competing models [1,2,3]. These models are problematic by dint of their heterogeneity: differences in the mathematical formulation hinder comparison between different classes (e....
For an example of Loose Coupling, take aheadless CMS. Headless CMS separates the backend from the front end, meaning developers can reuse and interact with the same API-enabled backend from any client browser, platform, or device. Loose Coupling as a Best Practice ...
The physical meaning of ket, ׀z > , is that the excitation of plasmon resonance is along the z axis for both modes. ALcosα and ATsinα are absorption efficiency for the longitudinal and transverse modes. If α is 0, which means the AuNRs are parallel to the z axis, the ...
Mounting evidence supports the involvement of glymphatic dysfunction in the pathophysiology of neurodegeneration, which happened even before the onset of disease (Zou et al., 2019). Recently, depression was proposed as a prodrome of dementia (Mirza et al., 2016), meaning glymphatic system ...
The connectivity mechanism is not part of the application and does not participate in the business-level connectivity; its role is to transparently pass messages between the two components without knowledge of their meaning or content. This is a much more flexible means of connecting processes and ...
Some sets of cargoes are coupled, meaning that either all or none of them are transported. Further, some of these coupled cargoes require synchronized deliveries, restricting the time elapsed between the first and last delivery is made. The objective is to design a route and schedule for each ...
The former shows the elementary Wigner coefficients [35], meaning that one of the irreps that is coupled is [1, 0, 0, 0], in which case, the coupling is always free of the outer multiplicity and the reduction to SUS(2) ⊗ SUT(2) is also unique. Meanwhile, the latter shows a ...
