Granularity, definition

The ideal soil is defined as a loose, granular medium that is devoid of cohesion but possesses internal friction. In contrast, an ideal cohesive medium is one that is devoid of internal friction. Real soils generally fall between the foregoing two limiting definitions. 

In the common literature, a use case is typically a joint action involving at least one object (called an actor) outside the system of interest the granularity of the action is such that it accomplishes an objective for the actor. The use case is refined into a more detailed sequence of actions and is explored with sequence diagrams illustrating that collaboration. Use case diagrams can be used to capture the action refinement. Most current accounts of use cases fail to separate the specific action refinement (one of many that may be possible) from the single abstract action because the use case definition itself includes the specific sequence of steps followed to accomplish the use case this lack of separation can make it difficult to handle alternative decompositions. 

Frameworks are an expressive abstraction tool and are used throughout Catalysis, even in the definition of basic modeling constructs. Still, as a template-like mechanism, they can be used only when the problem at hand is suited to the parameterization and the level of granularity of the framework. 

We have found many use case practitioners confused about the definition of use case What is its level of granularity Does a use case always correspond to a unit of meaningful business interaction for an actor What if two use cases share common parts, but that part does not form a meaningful unit of business interaction can it still be modeled as a use case and used by the other two In Catalysis we recommend a distinction between the action, or use case, and the effects of that action it is easy to factor out effects that are common across two actions. 

LoBOPODIUM In the protozoa a type of pseudopodium which is made up of granular endoplasm and hyaline ectoplasm, and are temporarily projected portions of the body protoplasm not to be compared with the definite locomotor organs found in some of the protozoa. 

Because the objective of the study is to calculate the proportion of a definite component in a binary or in a ternary mixture from the data, the particulate products to be chosen may first demonstrate a certain permittivity contrast at a dense state . It must be stated that in the case of a particulate material, this does not correspond to the dielectric constant of a massive block of the material for which electric contacts between grains do not exist. For instance, the dense state corresponds to a hypothetical block of material having the same quality of dielectric contact as a granular material for which porosity is occupied by vacuum. 

Fig. 7.11. Comparison of the fine structure of the membranes of the eggs of Hymenolepis diminuta and H. nana. Note in H. nana (in contrast to H. diminuta) (a) the embryophore is thin and incomplete - a feature which may facilitate hatching in the gut of the definitive host (b) there is an additional polar filament layer between the oncospheral membrane and the basal lamina. Gc, Golgi complex ger, granular endoplasmic reticulum /, lipid bodies m, mitochondria n, nucleus v, vacuoles. (After Fairweather Threadgold, 1981a Holmes Fairweather, 1982.)...

Although flavor is composed mainly of taste and odor, other qualities contribute to the overall sensation. Texture has a very definite effect. Smoothness, roughness, granularity, and viscosity can all influence... 

Phenylgermanic acid anhydride, (CgHsGeOjaO.—Equimolecular proportions of mercury diphenyl and germanium tetrachloride in dry xylene are heated in a sealed Pyrex bulb for two days, then diluted with dry ether and filtered. The solid residue is pure phenylmercuric chloride, and the filtrate is treated with benzene, and finally with water containing a few drops of ammonium hydroxide. The granular precipitate which separates at the liquid interface is removed and dried at 115° C. The anhydride is a white, fluffy, amorphous solid, with no definite melting-point, soluble in excess of alkali, and reprecipitated by carbon dioxide, insoluble in water and organic solvents.
