Traceability for Model Driven, Software Product Line Engineering

Traceability is an important challenge for software organizations. This is true for traditional software development and even more so in new approaches that introduce more variety of artefacts such as Model Driven development or Software Product Lines. In this paper we look at some aspect of the interaction of Traceability, Model Driven development and Software Product Line

Solutions of Podolsky's Electrodynamics Equation in the First-Order Formalism

The Podolsky generalized electrodynamics with higher derivatives is formulated in the first-order formalism. The first-order relativistic wave equation in the 20-dimensional matrix form is derived. We prove that the matrices of the equation obey the Petiau-Duffin-Kemmer algebra. The Hermitianizing matrix and Lagrangian in the first-order formalism are given. The projection operators extracting solutions of field equations for states with definite energy-momentum and spin projections are obtained, and we find the density matrix for the massive state. The $13\times 13$-matrix Schrodinger form of the equation is derived, and the Hamiltonian is obtained. Projection operators extracting the physical eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian are found.Comment: 17 pages, minor corrections, published versio

Fe-bearing phases in Antarctic carbonaceous chondrites Yamato-82162 and Yamato-86720: A Mossbauer study

We report the results of variable temperature Mossbauer spectroscopy measurements on samples of Yamato-82162 and Yamato-86720 carbonaceous chondrites. Transmission Mossbauer spectra were taken through the temperature range from 4.2K to 300K. The Mossbauer spectra at room temperature clearly indicate the presence of magnetic splits and quadrupole doublets in both meteorites, which can be attributed to troilite and olivine, respectively. The measurements also indicate the presence of a superparamagnetic component, probably ferryhidrite, in Y-86720 but not in Y-82162. These results are mostly consistent with those obtained by mineralogical studies. However, our Mossbauer measurements indicate the presence of a previously unknown magnetic component having a field of 250kOe in both meteorites; the mineral is unidentified so far. Our study supports the view that these meteorites were affected by thermal metamorphism, and that Y-82162 was less thermally metamorphosed than Y-86720

Principais usos da madeira de reflorestamento.

O plantio de espécies florestais de rápido crescimento em propriedades rurais traz uma série de benefícios indiretos,tais como a ocupação de solos não agricultáveis,proteção de nascentes e cursos d'água,recuperação do solo,entre outros.Contudo,a cultura da floresta é também uma atividade econômica,tal como uma cultura agrícola tradicional
