A computational verb set (verb set for short) consists of a computational verb and a crisp set or a fuzzy set. Verb sets generalize the other sets from linguistic structure “BE+statement” to “verb+statement”. Verb sets are strongly connected to computational verbs and their contexts. In this paper, the framework of verb sets and some basic concepts and properties of verb sets are given. An appl...

This paper investigates some possible actions ”à la Johnson” on the set with 2 elements, denoted by E , of Spinstructures which are interpreted as special Z2-coverings of a trivial S−fibration over a non-orientable surface Ng+1. The group acting is first a group of orthogonal isomorphisms of (H1(Ng+1;Z2), ·). A second approach is to consider the subspace of E (with 2 elements) coming from speci...

Cypripedium tibeticum, a subalpine orchid species, inhabits various habitats of subalpine forests, mainly including the forest edge (FE), forest gap (FG), and understory (UST), which have significantly different light intensities (FE > FG > UST). However, the ecological and physiological influences caused by different light regimes in this species are still poorly understood. In the present stu...

Face perception elicits activation within a distributed cortical network in the human brain. The network includes visual ("core") regions, as well as limbic and prefrontal ("extended") regions, which process invariant facial features and changeable aspects of faces, respectively. We used functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Dynamic Causal Modeling to investigate effective connectivity and ...

Hydrogels are biomimetic materials widely used in the area of biomedical engineering and biosensing. Ferrogels (FG) are magnetic composites capable of functioning as magnetic field sensitive transformers and field assisted drug deliverers. FG can be prepared by incorporating magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) into chemically crosslinked hydrogels. The properties of biomimetic ferrogels for multifunc...

In this paper, we introduce and study a new topology related to a self mapping on a nonempty set.Let X be a nonempty set and let f be a self mapping on X. Then the set of all invariant subsets ofX related to f, i.e. f := fA X : f(A) Ag P(X) is a topology on X. Among other things,we nd the smallest open sets contains a point x 2 X. Moreover, we find the relations between fand To f . For insta...

Suppose F is a finite set of selfadjoint elements in a tracial von Neumann algebra M . For α > 0, F is α-bounded if Pα(F ) < ∞ where Pα is the α-packing entropy of F introduced in [7]. We say that M is strongly 1-bounded if M has a 1-bounded finite set of selfadjoint generators F such that there exists an x ∈ F with χ(x) > −∞. It is shown that if M is strongly 1-bounded, then any finite set of ...

A graph with forbidden transitions is a pair (G,FG) where G := (VG, EG) is a graph and FG is a subset of the set {({y, x}, {x, z}) ∈ E G}. A path in a graph with forbidden transitions (G,FG) is a path in G such that each pair ({y, x}, {x, z}) of consecutive edges does not belong to FG. It is shown in [S. Szeider, Finding paths in graphs avoiding forbidden transitions, DAM 126] that the problem ...

Controlling toxigenic Fusarium graminearum (FG) is challenging. A bacterial strain (S76-3, identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) that was isolated from diseased wheat spikes in the field displayed strong antifungal activity against FG. Reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry analyses revealed that S76-3 produced three classes of cyc...
