The concept of homogeneous multi-adjoint logic program is introduced, and a procedure to homogenize an arbitrary multi-adjoint logic program is presented. The procedure is proved to preserve models and, moreover, some complexity results are given.

In order to establish a method of obtaining rat gingival mitochondria (Mt), Mt fractions were prepared in various combinations of homogenizing time with collagenase concentration. Rat gingival tissues were excised, minced, treated with collagenase, homogenized, and subjected to differential centrifugation rates. Both the respiratory control ratio (RCR) and adenosine diphosphate/oxygen (ADP/O) r...

Silk fibroin (SF) has been widely investigated in biomedical applications due to its biodegradability and biocompatibility. The objective of this work was to prepare SF spheres for drug delivery application. Drug-loaded SF spheres with and without polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) crosslinking were prepared by a water-in-oil emulsion solvent diffusion method. Blue dextran was used as...

In less than half a decade, the idea that nature possesses inalienable rights akin to human rights has gone from a strictly theoretical concept to the basis for policy changes in several countries and U.S. municipalities. This paper explores the tensions between community decisionmaking and the rights of nature by focusing on how the implementation of these theories has played out in Ecuador an...

A lot of problems the physical world can be modeled by non-linear ODE with their initial and boundary conditions. Especially higher order differential equations play a vital role in this process. The method for solution its effectiveness are as important modelling. In paper, on basis reproducing kernel theory, functions have been obtained solving some equations. Additionally, each problem homog...

Short-pulse measurements using a streak camera are sensitive to space-charge broadening, which depends on the pulse duration and shape, and on the uniformity of photocathode illumination. An anamorphic-diffuser-based beam-homogenizing system and a space-charge-broadening calibration method were developed to accurately measure short pulses using an optical streak camera. This approach provides a...

Population structure can be a source of both false-positive and false-negative findings in a genome-wide association study. This article proposes an approach that helps to reduce the false-positives. It consists of homogenizing the diseased/healthy phenotype ratio across the cohort, by decreasing the statistical weight of selected individuals. After homogenization, the cohort is statistically h...

Many large organizations have a number of heterogeneous localized databases that are maintained and managed to support a set of local applications. One of the main difficulties in supporting global applications over a number of localized databases and migrating legacy ISs to modern computing environment is to cope with the heterogeneities of these systems. We propose a novel flexible architectu...
