Local-as-view

At each iteration, NLP algorithms form new estimates not only of the decision variables x but also of the Lagrange multipliers A and u. If, at these estimates, all constraints are satisfied and the KTC are satisfied to within specified tolerances, the algorithm stops. At a local optimum, the optimal multiplier values provide useful sensitivity information. In the NLP (8.25)-(8.26), let V (b, c) be the optimal value of the objective/at a local minimum, viewed as a function of the right-hand sides of the constraints b and c. Then, under additional conditions (see Luenberger, 1984, Chapter 10)...

The vertical XZ plane is a nodal plane for the n-orbital that bisects the R—C—R angle and lies perpendicular to the R(R )C=0 local symmetry plane, (c) Relevant w -orbital of ketone n - tt transition.

One of the interesting tensions in chemistry is between the desire to assign electrons to specific centers, deriving from an atomic, electrostatic view of atoms in a molecule, and the knowledge that electrons are not as localized as we would like them to be. Let s take a two-center molecular orbital ... 

Several attempts to describe replication-mutation networks by stochastic techniques were made in the past. We cannot discuss them in detail here, but we shall brieffy review some general ideas that are relevant for the quasispecies model. The approach that is related closest to our model has been mentioned already [51] the evolutionary process is viewed as a sequence of stepwise increases in the populations mean fitness. Fairly long, quasi-stationary phases are interrupted by short periods of active selection during which the mean fitness increases. The approach towards optimal adaptation to the environment is resolved in a manner that is hierarchical in time. Evolution taking place on the slow time scale represents optimization in the whole of the sequence space. It is broken up into short periods of time within which the quasi-species model applies only locally. During a single evolutionary step only a small part of sequence space is explored by the population. There, the actual distributions of sequences resemble local quasispecies confined to well-defined regions. Error thresholds can be defined locally as well. 

Private processes contain local as well as remote tasks embedded from other organizations within process views. The embedded view elements (here tasks Simulate CSTR and Simulate PFR) can be interconnected with tasks of the private process where the view is embedded by control flows, feedback flows or data flows to establish inter-process cooperation. This provides the basis for interorganizational cooperation as explained in the following paragraph. 

In the case of our guide relation, this means that the mediated schema should contain the relation Guide(Name, ID, Bio). Additionally, there also needs to be mappings between the source schemas and the mediated schema. This is done through two sets of views. First, a set of views define an intermediate schema in terms of the mediated schema. These are called LAV views after the data integration architecture, where local sources are defined as views over the mediated schema [Vijayaraman et al. 1996], Continuing with our travel example, the LAV views are ... 

Both-as-view (BAV) [Pidduck et al. 2002 McBrien and Poulovassilis 2003] is a framework to support schema transformation and integration. Similar to GLAV mappings [Friedman et al. 1999], BAV allows the definition of views between the mediated schema and the local sources in both direction - it treats both the global and the local schemas as sources. A key focus of their work is the transformations that make this possible - how can the mediated schema be related to the source schemas. They additionally provide a method to update a mediated schema based on the integration of new source schemas. To do so, they create a mapping that directly calls for the addition, deletion, and renaming of attributes and relations in the mediated schema.
