In this note, we define the concepts of admissible relation and admissible partition for an arbitrary BL-general fuzzy automaton.In particular, a connection between the admissible partition and the quotient BL-general fuzzy automaton is presented.It is shown that if we use the maximal admissible partition, then we obtain a quotient BL-general fuzzy automaton and this quotient is minimal. Finall...

BACKGROUND Empathizing is a specific component of social cognition. Empathizing is also specifically impaired in autism spectrum condition (ASC). These are two dimensions, measurable using the Empathy Quotient (EQ) and the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ). ASC also involves strong systemizing, a dimension measured using the Systemizing Quotient (SQ). The present study examined the relationship bet...

This paper concerns with the study of EGG (electroglottalgram by laryngograph) model of ditoneme in Mandarin. The parameters for establishing models are fundamental frequency (F0), which is regarded as reference, speed quotient and open quotient, which are all extracted from the EGG signal by using the software EGG.exe, an option of CSL, Model 4300B, KAY. The result shows that speed quotient an...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although the incidence of stroke is on the decline worldwide, this is not the case for early stroke. We aimed to determine whether nonpsychotic mental disorder at the age of 18 years is a risk factor for early stroke, and if adolescent cardiovascular fitness and intelligence quotient might attenuate the risk. METHOD Population-based Swedish cohort study of conscripts (n...
