Using a system of axioms among with a modified definition of boundary on the basis of the intuitionistic fuzzy sets, we formulate an inductive structure for the dimension of fuzzy spaces which has been defined by Coker. This new definition of boundary allows to characterize an intuitionistic fuzzy clopen set as a set with zero boundary. Also, some critical properties and applications are establ...

objective(s): neuroinflammation in parkinson disease (pd) is associated with glial cells activation and production of different inflammatory cytokines. in this study, we investigated the effect of chronic administration of 8-oh-dpat on 6-ohda-induced catalepsy and levels of inflammatory cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid (csf).   materials and methods: catalepsy was induced by unilateral infusion...

Evaluating the relation between evidence and theory should be a central activity for science learners. Evaluation comprises both hypothetico-deductive analysis, where theory precedes evidence, and inductive synthesis, where theory emerges from evidence. There is mounting evidence that induction is an especially good way to help learners grasp the deep structure (i.e., underlying principles) of ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study examined the hypothesis that participants diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) show a selective deficit in inductive reasoning but are equivalent to controls in deductive reasoning. METHODS Twenty-five participants with OCD and 25 non-clinical controls made inductive and deductive judgments about a common set of arguments that varied in logic...

A system is said to be distributed when it includes several geographically distinct components cooperating in order to achieve a common distributed task. The development of informatic networks and telematic services, as well as the access to public data transmission networks raised the question of building distributed applications. However it should be understood that distributed processing is ...

A classification is given of certain separable nuclear C*-algebras not necessarily of real rank zero, namely the class of simple C*-algebras which are inductive limits of continuous-trace C*-algebras whose building blocks have their spectrum homeomorphic to the interval [0, 1] or to a finite disjoint union of closed intervals. In particular, a classification of those stably AI algebras which ar...

Accounts of category-based inductive reasoning can be distinguished by the emphasis they place on associative retrieval processes versus structural knowledge representation. Using an open-ended category-based induction task with a secondary task manipulation, we explored whether the relative importance of these two processes in determining the reasoning output depends upon the availability of m...

and the end conditions bx(0, t) = bx(`, t) = cx(0, t) = cx(`, t) = 0. Our task is to recover p ≡ {Db, Dc, k−, r, u} from knowledge of b(xj , ·) and Kd = k−/k+. Let us explicitly track the dependence of of b upon p by writing b = b(x, t; p) and write the IBVP above as R([b, c], p) = 0. Now differentiating R([b(p), c(p)], p) = 0 wrt p reveals ∂[b,c]R∂p[b, c] + ∂pR = 0 or ∂p[b(p), c(p)] = −∂[b,c]R...

Models of graph-based reasoning have typically accounted for the variation in problem solving performance with different graph types in terms of a task analysis of the problem relative to the particular visual properties of each graph type [e.g., Human Computer Interaction 8 (1993) 353; Proceedings of the Twenty-first Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society. Lawrence Erlbaum Associat...
