The concept of approximate reasoning as it was con ceived by Zadeh provides a framework which al lows to model and process vague linguistic informa tion The idea is to model linguistic terms by fuzzy sets their logical relationship by fuzzy relations and their composition by the so called compositional rule of inference As an important eld of applica tions we refer to control processes for whic...

BURG, M.,J. GRANTHAM, M. ABRAMOW, AND J. ORLOFF. Preparation and study of fmgments of single rabbit nephrans. Am. J, Physiol. 210(6): 1293-1298. rg66.-A method has been developed for the dissection and in vitro study of fragments of single rabbit nephrons. Fragments of different tubule segments 3-4 mm long were dissected from set tions of kidney immersed in oxygenated Ringer solution. Electroly...

In ontology-based data access, data are queried through an ontology that offers a representation of the domain of interest. In this context, correct answers are those entailed by the logical theory constituted by the data and the ontology. Traditional database constraints like tuple-generating dependencies (TGDs) and equality-generating dependencies (EGDs) are a useful tool for ontology specifi...

We introduce Oikos adtl, a speciication language for distributed systems based on asynchronous communication via remote writings. The language is designed to support the composition of speciica-tions. It allows expressing the global properties of a system in terms of the local properties of the components and of coordination patterns. Oikos adtl is based on an asynchronous, distributed, tempora...

Surface pasting is a composition method that ap plies features to base surfaces to provide details on the base surfaces The location and size of a feature are determined by the transformations of the fea ture s domain By modifying the domain layout of pasted surfaces we can manipulate the appearance of a feature interactively in a Domain Space User Interface However this domain user interface i...

Schema mappings have been extensively studied in database research over the past decade – notably in the areas of data exchange and data integration. Recently, the notion of an information transfer order on schema mappings has been introduced to compare the amount of source information that is actually transferred by two mappings. In this paper, we present two new operators: the union and inter...

K Ito s stochastic calculus is a collection of tools which permit us to perform opera tions such as composition integration and di erentiation on functions of Brownian paths and more general random functions known as Ito processes As we shall see Ito calcu lus and Ito processes are extremely useful in the formulation of nancial risk management techniques These notes are intended to introduce th...

An n-color odd self-inverse composition is an n-color self-inverse composition with odd parts. In this paper, we obtain generating functions, explicit formulas, and recurrence formulas for n-color odd self-inverse compositions.

Distinct differences were observed in the biologic response elicited by the promoting agents croton resin and its active frac tions on the one hand and croton oil on the other. With the active fractions of croton resin, in initiation-promotion experiments, there is a high incidence of malignancy and a low incidence of tumor regression. Applied alone, croton resin gives rise to very few tumors. ...
