31 Oct 2004TL;DR: This paper presents an analysis of feature-oriented and aspect-oriented modularization approaches with respect to variability management as needed in the context of system families and demonstrates the power of appropriate support for layer modules.
Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of feature-oriented and aspect-oriented modularization approaches with respect to variability management as needed in the context of system families. This analysis serves two purposes. On the one hand, our analysis of the weaknesses of feature-oriented approaches (FOAs for short) emphasizes the importance of crosscutting modularity as supported by the aspect-oriented concepts of pointcut and advice. On the other hand, by pointing out some of AspectJ's weaknesses and by demonstrating how Caesar, a language which combines concepts from both AspectJ and FOAs, is more effective in this context, we also demonstrate the power of appropriate support for layer modules.

TL;DR: The In-Medium Similarity Renormalization Group (IM-SRG) as mentioned in this paper employs a continuous unitary transformation of the manybody Hamiltonian to decouple the ground state from all excitations, thereby solving the many-body problem.
Abstract: We present a comprehensive review of the In-Medium Similarity Renormalization Group (IM-SRG), a novel ab inito method for nuclei. The IM-SRG employs a continuous unitary transformation of the many-body Hamiltonian to decouple the ground state from all excitations, thereby solving the many-body problem. Starting from a pedagogical introduction of the underlying concepts, the IM-SRG flow equations are developed for systems with and without explicit spherical symmetry. We study different IM-SRG generators that achieve the desired decoupling, and how they affect the details of the IM-SRG flow. Based on calculations of closed-shell nuclei, we assess possible truncations for closing the system of flow equations in practical applications, as well as choices of the reference state. We discuss the issue of center-of-mass factorization and demonstrate that the IM-SRG ground-state wave function exhibits an approximate decoupling of intrinsic and center-of-mass degrees of freedom, similar to Coupled Cluster (CC) wave functions. To put the IM-SRG in context with other many-body methods, in particular many-body perturbation theory and non-perturbative approaches like CC, a detailed perturbative analysis of the IM-SRG flow equations is carried out. We conclude with a discussion of ongoing developments, including IM-SRG calculations with three-nucleon forces, the multi-reference IM-SRG for open-shell nuclei, first non-perturbative derivations of shell- model interactions, and the consistent evolution of operators in the IM-SRG. We dedicate this review to the memory of Gerry Brown, one of the pioneers of many-body calculations of nuclei.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the implementation and validation of a nucleate boiling model in the volume-of-fluid solver OpenFOAM and demonstrate the growth of a bubble from a heated steel foil.
Abstract: This article describes the implementation and validation of a nucleate boiling model in the volume-of-fluid solver of OpenFOAM. Emphasis is put on the implementation of the contact line evaporation, which can typically not be resolved by the numerical grid, and on the conjugate heat transfer between solid and fluid. For validation, the sucking interface problem and the growth of a spherical bubble have been simulated successfully. In order to validate the contact line model and the conjugate heat transfer, the growth of a bubble from a heated steel foil has been calculated.

TL;DR: The Finite Integration Technique (FIT) is a consistent discretization scheme for Maxwell's equations in their integral form as mentioned in this paper, which can be used for efficient numerical simulations on modern computers.
Abstract: The Finite Integration Technique (FIT) is a consistent discretization scheme for Maxwell's equations in their integral form. The resulting matrix equations of the discretized fields can be used for efficient numerical simulations on modern computers. In addition, the basic algebraic properties of this discrete electromagnetic field theory allow to analytically and algebraically prove conservation properties with respect to energy and charge of the discrete formulation and gives an explanation of the stability properties of numerical time domain formulations.

18 Sep 2000TL;DR: An application of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic to the single machine total weighted tardiness problem is presented obtaining a novel ACO algorithm that uses a heterogeneous colony of ants and is highly effective in finding the best-known solutions on all instances of a widely used set of benchmark problems.
Abstract: In this article we present an application of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic to the single machine total weighted tardiness problem. First, we briefly discuss the constructive phase of ACO in which a colony of artificial ants generates a set of feasible solutions. Then, we introduce some simple but very effective local search. Last, we combine the constructive phase with local search obtaining a novel ACO algorithm that uses a heterogeneous colony of ants and is highly effective in finding the best-known solutions on all instances of a widely used set of benchmark problems.
