REACHABILITY AND LIVENESS IN PARAMETRIC TIMED AUTOMATA

Reachability and liveness in parametric timed automata

We study timed systems in which some timing features are unknown parameters.Parametric timed automata (PTAs) are a classical formalism for such systems but for which most interesting problems are undecidable.Notably, the parametric reachability emptiness problem, i.e., the emptiness of the parameter valuations set allowing to reach some given discr

Feasibility of wear reduction for soft nanostructured thin film through enhanced elastic recoverability and contact stress relief

Abstract This work shows that a soft, thin film comprising randomly aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can reduce surface wear more effectively than a homogeneous thin film because of enhanced elastic recoverability superdry baseball top and contact stress relief originating from its mesh structure.To investigate the wear characteristics of the mesh s

Distribution and diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages in a semi-arid region earmarked for shale gas exploration (Eastern Cape Karoo, South Africa).

This study aims to investigate macroinvertebrate assemblage structure and composition across the three major waterbody types (temporary rivers, depression wetlands and semi-permanent dams) of the Eastern Cape Karoo, and to identify important environmental and spatial correlates of macroinvertebrate assemblage composition in the region.A total of 33
