چکیده

2014 We use a set theoretic approach to consensus by viewing an object as a set of smaller pieces called "bricks". A consensus function is neutral if there exists a family D of sets such that a brick s is in the output of a profile if and only if the set of positions with objects that contain s belongs to D. We give sufficient set theoretic conditions for D to be a lattice filter and, in the case of a finite lattice, these conditions turn out to be necessary. Ourfinal result, which involves a finite distributive join semilattice, provides necessary and sufficient conditions for D to be an ultrafilter.

Political Consensus Through Setting International Accounting Standards Case of Ias 22

The study aims to reveal that a valid and effective standard, which formerly issued, may reflect the needs and expectation of few interested powerful bodies due to the neutral comments and dearth of lobbyists in the process of setting the standard. The research investigates the working of the IASB, by exploring the standard setting process specifically in relation to the standard on busines...

Output Consensus Control of Nonlinear Non-minimum Phase Multi-agent Systems Using Output Redefinition Method

This paper concerns the problem of output consensus in nonlinear non-minimum phase systems. The main contribution of the paper is to guarantee achieving consensus in the presence of unstable zero dynamics. To achieve this goal, an output redefinition method is proposed. The new outputs of agents are functions of original outputs and internal states and defined such that the dynamics of agents a...

Calcitriol modulates the effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells on macrophage functions

Objective(s):Some evidence showed that calcitriol has an important role in regulating growth and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, the interaction between mesenchymal stem cells and macrophage is not clear yet.  The current study was done to investigate the in vitro effects of calcitriol on the interactions between bone marrow-derived MSCs and rat macrophages. Material...

Adaptive Consensus Control for a Class of Non-affine MIMO Strict-Feedback Multi-Agent Systems with Time Delay

In this paper, the design of a distributed adaptive controller for a class of unknown non-affine MIMO strict-feedback multi agent systems with time delay has been performed under a directed graph. The controller design is based on dynamic surface control  method. In the design process, radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) were employed to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions. S...

In this paper, the author presents the significance of denomination as well as the point that, name must contain the main functions of the scientific field and be of consensus. Name of a major indicates the unity of its subject, such that if the major’s components are alongside each other as integration rather than annexation, they exhibit a single identity. In its new definition, librarianship...
