In this paper we have introduced fuzzy quasi-ideal and fuzzy left(right, two-sided) ideals in LA-semigroup. We have proved some results related to fuzzy quasi-ideals and fuzzy left(right, two-sided) ideals of an LA-semigroup. Further we characterize an intra-regular LA-semigroup by the properties of their fuzzy ideals.

This paper studies the multiplicative ideal structure of commutative rings in which every finitely generated ideal is quasi-projective. Section 2 provides some preliminaries on quasi-projective modules over commutative rings. Section 3 investigates the correlation with well-known Prüfer conditions; namely, we prove that this class of rings stands strictly between the two classes of arithmetical...

The concept of q , -fuzzy ternary subsemigroup (left, right, lateral, quasi-, bi-) ideal of a ternary semigroup is introduced and several related properties are investigated. We give some characterizations of regular and weakly regular ternary semigroups by q , -fuzzy left (right, lateral) ideals, q , -fuzzy quasi-ideals and q , -fuzzy bi-(generalized bi-) ideals.

The effectiveness of two aerosol delivery systems, nose-only and whole-body, were compared using Swiss-Webster mice and two pathogens, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus. With K. pneumoniae the median lethal dose (LD50) and the mean time to death correlated with the inhaled dose. An LD50 value of 335 colony forming units (cfu) for nose-only exposure was signifi...

A concept fundamental to viral pathogenesis is that infection induces specific changes within the host cell, within specific tissues, or within the entire animal. These changes are reflected in a cascade of altered transcription patterns evident during infection. However, elucidation of this cascade in vivo has been limited by a general inability to distinguish changes occurring in the minority...

Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus was purified and concentrated by chromatography of tissue culture supernatant fluids on diethylaminoethyl-cellulose columns. Stepwise gradient elution studies indicated a broad elution pattern for the virus, with recovery occurring from 0.05 to 0.7 m NaCl. Optical density, infectivity, hemagglutination (HA), and complement fixation (CF) assays indicate...

Deliberate control of thermal emission properties using nanophotonics has improved a number of applications including thermophotovoltaics (TPV), radiative cooling and infrared spectroscopy. In this work, we study the effect of simultaneous control of angular and spectral properties of thermal emitters on the efficiencies of TPV systems. While spectral selectivity reduces sub-bandgap losses, ang...

Let D be an integral domain and X an indeterminate over D. It is well known that (a) D is quasi-Prüfer (i.e, its integral closure is a Prüfer domain) if and only if each upper to zero Q in D[X] contains a polynomial g ∈ D[X] with content cD(g) = D; (b) an upper to zero Q in D[X] is a maximal t-ideal if and only if Q contains a nonzero polynomial g ∈ D[X] with cD(g) v = D. Using these facts, the...

We study decoupling in quasi-Banach spaces. We show that decoupling is permissible in some quasi-Banach spaces (e.g., Lp and Lp/Hp when 0 < p < 1) but fails in other spaces such as the Schatten ideal Sp when 0 < p < 1. We also relate our ideas to a possible extension of the Grothendieck inequality.
