Looking back in time, what is really amazing is the diversity of fields, where intuitions about fuzziness were expressed and more or less formalized, and the number of scientists who participated to the emergence of the fuzzy set concept. Also it is surprising to see how long it took before such a simple, although powerful, idea of graded membership, could be cast into a proper, widely accepted...

The effect of twi st on the performance of polyethylene naphthal ate, dimensionally stable polyester and high-tenacity polyester cord yarns has been studied. h is observed that the twi st has a very important effect on the tensile properties, creep properties and fracture mechani sm. An increase in the twi st leve l increases breaking elongation and creep rate but decreases break ing strength. ...

The post-1989 transformation of the Egyptian art world reveals the particular tenacity of colonial logics and national attachments in culture industries built through anticolonial nationalism and socialism. Tensions emerged between and among Western and Egyptian curators, critics, and artists with the development of a foreign-dominated private-sector art market and as Egyptian art begins to cir...

This paper analyzes some graph issues by using the symbolic program Mathematica and its version for theWeb, webMathematica. In particular, we consider the problem of graph coloring: the assignment of colors to the vertices/edges of the graph such that adjacent vertices/edges are colored differently. In addition, we address the problem of obtaining the tenacity of binomial trees with Mathematica...

Flax stems of Modran variety were subjected to water retting under laboratory conditions and its physical properties were compared with non-retted fibers. Physical properties including percentage of impurities, weighted average length, linear density, tenacity and elongation were analyzed and the results were compared. The analysis of retted and non-retted flax fibers showed that retting is the...

Doing a PhD (doctor of philosophy) for the sake of contribution to knowledge should give the student an immense enthusiasm through the PhD period. It is the time in one's life that one spends to "hit the nail on the head" in a specific area and topic of interest. A PhD consists mostly of hard work and tenacity; however, luck and genius might also play a little role. You can pass all PhD phases ...
