Optimal immunity to the Gram-positive pathogen Listeria monocytogenes (LM) requires both CD8+ and CD4+ antigen-specific T cell responses. Understanding how CD4+ T cells function in an immune response to LM and how bacterial proteins are processed to peptide/MHC class II complexes in infected cells requires identification of these proteins. Using LacZ-inducible, LM-specific CD4+ T cells as probe...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the left main (LM) coronary artery anatomy using three-dimensional (3D) quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) software as compared to intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). BACKGROUND Percutaneous intervention of the LM coronary artery is becoming more common in selected patients with LM coronary artery disease (CAD). Quantification of LM CAD b...

In this paper, characterizations of the degree to which a mapping $mathcal{T} : L^{X}longrightarrow M$ is an $(L, M)$-fuzzy topology are studied in detail.What is more, the degree to which an $L$-subset is an $L$-open set with respect to $mathcal{T}$ is introduced.Based on that, the degrees to which a mapping $f: Xlongrightarrow Y$ is continuous,open, closed or a quotient mapping with respect t...

Since Chang [2] introduced fuzzy theory into topology, many authors have discussed various aspects of fuzzy topology. It is well known that weakly induced and induced topological spaces play an important role in L-topological spaces (see book [8]). According to their value ranges, L-topological spaces form different categories. Clearly, the investigation on their relationships is certainly impo...

The concepts of β-compactness and βclosed spaces in the fuzzy setting are defined and investigated. Fuzzy filterbases are used to characterize these concepts. A comparison between these types and some different forms of compactness in fuzzy topology is established.

We study the fuzzy soft proximity spaces in Katsaras's sense. First, we show how a fuzzy soft topology is derived from a fuzzy soft proximity. Also, we define the notion of fuzzy soft δ-neighborhood in the fuzzy soft proximity space which offers an alternative approach to the study of fuzzy soft proximity spaces. Later, we obtain the initial fuzzy soft proximity determined by a family of fuzzy ...

The notion of separatedness degrees of L-fuzzy subsets is introduced in L-fuzzy topological spaces by means of L-fuzzy closure operators. Furthermore, the notion of connectedness degrees of L-fuzzy subsets is introduced. Many properties of connectedness in general topology are generalized to L-fuzzy topological spaces.

In the present paper we introduce the topological structure of fuzzy soft sets and fuzzy soft continuity of fuzzy soft mappings. We show that a fuzzy soft topological space gives a parametrized family of fuzzy topological spaces. Furthermore, with the help of an example it is shown that the constant mapping is not continuous in general. Then the notions of fuzzy soft closure and interior are in...

It is shown that every fuzzy n-normed space naturally induces a locally convex topology, and that every finite dimensional fuzzy n-normed space is complete.

In this paper some properties of the uniformity topology on a BCI-algebras are discussed. Keywords—(Fuzzy) ideal, (Fuzzy) subalgebra, Uniformity, clopen sets.
