We introduce the concept of fuzzy co-r-M -semicontinuous, and investigate the relationships between fuzzy co-r-M -semicontinuous mappings and several types of fuzzy r-minimal semicompactness.

The existence of a Richter–Peleg multi-utility representation of a preorder by means of upper semicontinuous or continuous functions is discussed in connection with the existence of a Richter–Peleg utility representation. We give several applications that include the analysis of countable Richter–Pelegmulti-utility representations.

Abstract: We provide a new proof of the upper-semicontinuity property for the global attractors admitted by the solution operators associated with some strongly damped wave equations. In particular, we demonstrate an explicit control over semidistances between trajectories in the weak energy phase space in terms of the perturbation parameter. This result strengthens the recent work by Y. Wang a...

A general lower semicontinuity theorem, in which not only mappings uM and PM but also the integrands fM depend on M , is proved for integrands f, fM under certain general hypotheses including that f(x, u, P ) is convex respect to P and fM converge to f locally uniformly, but fM (x, u, P ) are not required to be convex respect to P and fM (x, ·, ·) do not even need to be lower semicontinuous. So...

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions in the Large Deviation Principle for random upper semicontinuous functions on a separable Banach space. The main tool is the recent work of Arcones on the LDP for empirical processes.

In dry lands, semi-circular bund has been considered as a management practice used to restore the ecological revival in terms of vegetation enrichment and soil amelioration. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of semi-circular bunds on vegetation cover and some soil properties in Koteh rangeland, Sistan and Baloochestan province, Iran (2014). Adjacent to the semi-circular bund a...

This invited lecture was presented at a forum organized by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) under the auspices of the same organization that developed the publication FIPS PUB 94 “Guideline on Electrical Power for ADP Installations, ” a widely disseminated and often-cited tutorial document in the eighties and nineties. My subjects were presented within the broad scope of the forum, with e...

BACKGROUND Improvement of the healing process to provide better aesthetical and functional results continues to be a surgical challenge. This study compared the treatment of skin wounds by means of conducted healing (an original method of treatment by secondary healing) and by the use of autogenous skin grafts. METHOD Two skin segments, one on each side of the dorsum,were removed from 17 rabb...
