Predatory Bacteriovorax Communities Ordered by Various Prey Species

The role of predation in altering microbial communities has been studied for decades but few examples are known for bacterial predators. Bacteriovorax are halophilic prokaryotes that prey on susceptible gram-negative bacteria. We recently reported novel observations on the differential selection of Bacteriovorax phylotypes by two different prey, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus. Ho...

Characterizing Ordered Bi-Ideals in Ordered Γ-Semigroups

The notion of a &Gamma-semigroup was introduced by Sen [8] in 1981. We can see that any semigroup can be considered as a &Gamma-semigroup. The aim of this article is to study the concept of (0-)minimal and max- imal ordered bi-ideals in ordered &Gamma-semigroups, and give some charac- terizations of (0-)minimal and maximal ordered bi-ideals in ordered &Gamma- semigroups analogous to the charact...

Ordered Categories and Ordered Semigroups

Ordered categories and ordered semigroups

We use ordered categories to study semidirect decompositions of finite ordered semigroups. We obtain ordered analogues of the derived category theorem and of the delay theorem. Next we prove that the ordered analogues of semilattices and of J -trivial monoids constitute local varieties, and we derive some decomposition theorems from these results. In [10], Pin and Weil initiated a study of the ...

Tripled partially ordered sets

In this paper, we introduce tripled partially ordered sets and monotone functions on tripled partiallyordered sets. Some basic properties on these new dened sets are studied and some examples forclarifying are given.
