We study interior operators and interior structures in a fuzzy setting.We investigate systems of “almost open” fuzzy sets and the relationshipsto fuzzy interior operators and fuzzy interior systems.

The design of a rough mill for the production of interior furntirue parts is used to illustrate a simulation technique for analyzing and evaluating established and proposed sequential production systems. Distributions representing the real-world random characteristics of lumber, equipment feed speeds and delay times are programmed into the simulation. An example is given of how bottlenecks are ...

When discretizing equations with second-order derivatives, like the Navier-Stokes equations, the boundary and interior penalties play a critical role in terms of the conservation, consistency, energy stability, and adjoint consistency of summation-by-parts (SBP) methods. While interior penalties for tensor-product SBP operators have been studied, they have not been investigated in the context o...

In this paper, we present a system for interactive explorations of extraand intracranial blood vessels. Starting with a stack of images from rotation angiography, we apply virtual clips to limit the segmentation of the vessel tree to the parts the neuroradiologists are interested in. Furthermore, methods of interactive virtual endoscopy are applied in order to provide an interior view of the bl...

We introduce the idea of using a perception-based medial point description [9] of a natural form (2D static or in movement) as a framework for a part-based shape representation which can then be efficiently used in biological species identification and matching tasks. The first step is one of fuzzy medialness measurements of 2D segmented objects from intensity images which emphasises main shape...

In this study biostratigraphy of the Upper Cretaceous deposits (Gurpi Formation) in Sepidan section located in the Interior Fars basin (SW Iran) was studied. The Gurpi Formation in this section consists of 360 m lime shale, argillaceous limestone and shale laid continuously on the Ilam Formation and with a paraconformity under the Pabdeh Formation. Nine genera and 27 species of planktonic foram...

Non-linear entropy stability and a summation-by-parts (SBP) framework are used to derive entropy stable interior interface coupling for the semi-discretized three-dimensional (3D) compressible Navier–Stokes equations. A complete semidiscrete entropy estimate for the interior domain is achieved combining a discontinuous entropy conservative operator of any order [1,2] with an entropy stable coup...

In this paper, we examine the outsourcing of interior systems for luxury automobiles. We use insights gleaned from original field interviews and contracts obtained from both buyers and suppliers to construct a theoretical framework and to empirically evaluate the interaction of product complexity, contract structure and buyer involvement in supplier product development in determining program pr...

Laplace’s equation with mixed boundary conditions, that is, Dirichlet conditions on parts of the boundary and Neumann conditions on the remaining contiguous parts, is solved on an interior planar domain using an integral equation method. Rapid execution and high accuracy is obtained by combining equations which are of Fredholm’s second kind with compact operators on almost the entire boundary w...
