The aim of this paper is to study the concept of -induced L-fuzzy topological spaces. Some properties of the functions (namely Scott-continuous function) are studied. The Scott-continuous functions turn out to be the natural tool for studying the -induced L-fuzzy topological space. We also discuss the connections between some separations, countability and covering properties of an ordinary topo...

Digit distributions are a popular tool for the detection of tax payers’ noncompliance and other fraud. In the early stage of digital analysis, Nigrini and Mittermaier (1997) made use of Benford’s Law (Benford 1938) as a natural reference distribution. A justification of that hypothesis is only known for multiplicative sequences (Schatte 1988). In applications, most of the number generating proc...

Conflicting and complex forces are shaping the diffusion patterns of the Internet and e-commerce in South Asia. Drawing upon the literature on institutional theory, we explore the drivers and inhibitors of the Internet in South Asian countries. We examine the influence of the three pillars of institutions (Scott, 1995) on the digital world of South Asia. The paper discusses how regulatory, norm...

Soil degradation has been implicated as a cause of the poor vegetation condition over much of the unimproved tussock grassland in the South Island high country and as a threat to the sustainability of extensive pastoralism (Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, 1991; South Island High Country Review Working Party, 1994). A key requirement for assessment of sustainability is an ability...

common carp, cyprinus carpio (l.) were blood-sampled after 0, 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h fasting to find serum baseline levels. there was a significant difference in serum glucose, lactate, triglyceride and total protein but not cholesterol, albumin and calcium levels among the treatments. glucose levels increased with fasting tine and reached to a peak after 6 h. then, the glucose level decreas...

A finite difference method is developed for solving symmetric positive differential equations in the sense of Friedrichs. The method is applicable to partial differential equations of mixed type with more general boundary conditions. The method is shown to have a convergence rate of 0(hxl2), h being the size of mesh grid. Some numerical results are presented for a model problem of forward-backw...

Direct sinrelations of smalland finite-amplitude disturbances in spatially periodic plane Poiseuille flow were performed. The ability of three high-order finite difference methods to predict the proper behavior of the disturbances was under investigation. The proposed procedure allowed to conclude about the spatial resolution and time-step required bv those schemes to produce numerically accura...

In this paper, a finite difference method for initial-boundary value problem of nonlinear Regularized-Long-Wave equation was considered. A energy conservative finite difference scheme of three levels was proposed, convergence and stability of difference solution was proved, if picking suitably,the accuracy of the new scheme is higher than others, so the method is efficient and reliable.
