in this paper, we introduce a considerable machinery which permits us to characterize a number of special (fuzzy) subsets in ag -groupoids. generalizing the concepts of (,q) -fuzzy bi-ideals (interior ideal), we define ( , ) k q -fuzzy bi-ideals, ( , ) k q -fuzzy left (right)-ideals and ( , ) k q -fuzzy interior ideals in ag -groupoids and discuss some fundamental aspects of these i...

Strong reduction of the scattering cross section is obtained for subwavelength dielectric and conducting cylinders without any magnetism for both TE and TM polarizations. The suggested approach is based on the use of Fabry-Perot type radial resonances, which can appear in single-layer, high-epsilon, isotropic, and homogeneous shells with the properly chosen parameters. Frequencies of the minima...

The concept of quasi-coincidence of an interval-valued fuzzy set is considered. By using this new idea, the notion of interval-valued (α, β)−fuzzy k−ideals of semirings is introduced, which is a generalization of a fuzzy k−ideal. Also some related properties are studied and in particular, the interval-valued (∈,∈ ∨q)−fuzzy k−ideals in a semiring will be investigated. Finally, the concept of imp...

an efficient flood alarm system may significantly improve public safety and mitigate damages caused by inundation. flood forecasting is undoubtedly a challenging field of operational hydrology and a huge literature has been developed over the years. in this paper, we first define ordered ideal intuitionistic fuzzy sets and establish some results on them. then, we define similarity measures betw...

The efficacy of Formalin-inactivated Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) vaccine has been reported to be low for man. Although a live VEE vaccine has been shown to be highly effective for the protection of laboratory workers, local and systemic reactions have occurred in approximately 20% of inoculated individuals. Therefore, studies were initiated in an attempt to produce an inactivated vacci...

Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) and eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) viruses are important, naturally emerging zoonotic viruses. They are significant human and equine pathogens which still pose a serious public health threat. Both VEE and EEE cause chronic infection in mosquitoes and persistent or chronic infection in mosquito-derived cell lines. In contrast, vertebrate hosts infected wit...

INTRODUCTION Our goal in this combined modeling and experimental study was to gain insight into the transmembrane potential changes in defibrillation conditions, namely, when shocks are delivered by an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Two hypotheses concerning the presence and characteristics of virtual electrode effects (VEE) during an ICD shock were tested numerically and experim...
