this paper presents characterizations of m-fuzzifying matroids bymeans of two kinds of fuzzy operators, called m-fuzzifying derived operatorsand m-fuzzifying difference derived operators.

we characterize compact composition operators on real banach spaces of complex-valued bounded lipschitz functions on metric spaces, not necessarily compact, with lipschitz involutions and determine their spectra.

Biocomposites of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP) with 5–40wt% soy flour (SF) are produced by two-step single-screw extrusion (SSE) followed by solid-state shear pulverization (SSSP). The SSE-SSSP approach overcomes limitations with melt mixing, e.g poor SF dispersion and degradation, and limitations with single-step SSSP. Microscopy shows that SF is well dispersed in SSE-...

In order to recognize characters on the neat oracle bone rubbings, a new mesh point feature extraction algorithm was put forward in this paper by researching and improving of the existing coarse mesh feature extraction algorithm and the point feature extraction algorithm. Some improvements of this algorithm were as followings: point feature was introduced into the coarse mesh feature, the absol...

Dynamic consolidation of virtual machines (VMs) is an efficient approach for improving the utilization of physical resources and reducing energy consumption in cloud data centers. Despite the large volume of research published on this topic, there are very few open-source software systems implementing dynamic VM consolidation. In this paper, we propose an architecture and open-source implementa...

Cylindric algebras are the algebraic counterparts of First Order Logic as was explained in the monograph [1] of Henkin, Monk, and Tarski, and also in [2], [3], and [4]. A cylindric algebra is representable if it corresponds to some logical system in a strong sense, cf. Theorem 4.2 and Definition 6.2 in [2] and 1.1.13 of [1]. (see also the remark preceding Corollary 2 in the present note). It wa...
