In this paper, we introduce a generalized class of an Hv-semigroup obtained from an LA-semigroup H. This generalized Hv-structure is called an Hv-LA-semigroup. We provide several examples of Hv-LA-semigroups. Moreover, with the help of an example we obtain that each LA-semigroup endowed with an equivalence relation can induce an Hv-LA-semigroup. We also investigate isomorphism theorems with the...

We show that topologically expansive Lorenz maps can be described up to topological conjugacy by their kneading invariants. We also give a simple condition on pairs of symbol sequences which is satisfied if and only if that pair of sequences is the kneading invariant for some topologically expansive Lorenz map. A simple extension of the theorems to the case of expansive maps of the interval wit...

Let A be a simple, separable C∗-algebra of stable rank one. We prove that the Cuntz semigroup of C(T, A) is determined by its Murray-von Neumann semigroup of projections and a certain semigroup of lower semicontinuous functions (with values in the Cuntz semigroup of A). This result has two consequences. First, specializing to the case that A is simple, finite, separable and Z-stable, this yield...

In this paper we will be on erned with the possibility of embedding a nite semigroup S into a nite 2-generated semigroup T that shares properties with S. In parti ular we show that any nite orthodox semigroup S may be embedded in a nite orthodox semigroup T generated by two group elements and that any nite orthodox monoid S1 may be embedded as a semigroup into a nite 2-generated orthodox monoid...

It is now well known that curvature conditions à la Bakry-Émery are equivalent to contraction properties of the heat semigroup with respect to the classical quadratic Wasserstein distance. However, this curvature condition may include a dimensional correction which up to now had not induced any strenghtening of this contraction. We first consider the simplest example of the Euclidean heat semig...

In Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there are several areas where expansive soil exists in the form of variable-thicknesses layers in the developed regions. Severe distress to infrastructures can be caused by the development of heave and swelling pressure in this kind of expansive shale. Among the various techniques for expansive soil mitigation, the removal and replacement technique is very popular fo...

Mirror exposure (ME) is one of the main components of the treatment of patients with eating disorders symptomatology and it has shown its effectiveness in improving several outcomes (e.g., body dissatisfaction). However, the study as to what body posture should be adopted to maximize its effectiveness has been neglected. From embodied cognition and emotion theories, the adoption of an expansive...

The crack developing depth is a key problem to slope stability of the expansive soil and its project governance and the crack appears under the roles of dry-wet cycle and gradually develops. It is believed from the analysis that, because of its own cohesion, the expansive soil will have a certain amount of deformation under pulling stress but without cracks. The soil body will crack only when t...

The author proves that, if S is an FIC-semigroup or a completely regular semigroup, and if RS is a ring with identity, then R < E(S) > is a ring with identity. Throughout this paper, R denotes as a ring with identity. Let S be a semigroup, X ⊆ S . The following notations are used in the paper: < X > : the subsemigroup of S generated by X ; |X| : the cardinal number of X ; E(S): the set of idemp...

Garcia and Stichtenoth discovered two towers of function fields that meet the Drinfeld-Vlăduţ bound on the ratio of the number of points to the genus. For one of these towers, Garcia, Pellikaan and Torres derived a recursive description of theWeierstrass semigroups associated to a tower of points on the associated curves. In this article, a non-recursive description of the semigroups is given a...
