Preference queries are relational algebra or SQL queries that contain occurrences of the winnow operator (find the most preferred tuples in a given relation). Such queries are pa...
We present a novel framework for mapping between any combination of XML and relational schemas, in which a high-level, userspecified mapping is translated into semantically meanin...
Existing autocalibration techniques use numerical optimization algorithms that are prone to the problem of local minima. To address this problem, we have developed a method where ...
We describe the implementation of the shearingbox approach into the Godunovtype central-upwind/constraint-transport magnetohydrodynamics code NIRVANA. This will allow for applicat...
The paper deals with a structural optimization of composite materials with periodic microstructures invoking an elasto-plasticity model with the von Mises yield criterion. Closest...
