introduction: extended spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl) producing escherichia coli generate a major problem for clinical therapeutics and epidemiological study. the incidence of esbl producing strains among clinical isolates has been steadily increasing during the past few years, and remains an important cause of failure of therapy with cephalosporins. the aim of this study was to determine the a...

In this paper, by considering the notion of extended BCK-module, we define the concepts of free extended BCK-module, free object in category of extended BCK-modules and we state and prove some related results. Specially, we define the notion of idempotent extended BCK-module and we get some important results in free extended BCK-modules. In particular, in category of idempotent extended BCK-mod...

an extended star is a tree which has only one vertex with degree larger than two. the -center problem in a graph  asks to find a subset  of the vertices of  of cardinality  such that the maximum weighted distances from  to all vertices is minimized. in this paper we consider the -center problem on the unweighted extended stars, and present some properties to find solution.

the objective of the present study was to compare the efficacy of conventional and extendedintramammary (imm) therapy of persistent subclinical mastitis in lactating dairy cattle using nafcillinpenicillin-dihydrostreptomycin combination (npd). sixty-five dairy cows with 126 infected quarters were enrolled in the study. infected cows were allocated randomly to 1 of 3 different treatment regimens...

We question two of the basic foundations of the Extended Mind hypothesis originally formulated by Clark and Chalmers, i.e. that all cognition is organism centered and that the important theoretical issues that the debate surrounding the Extended Mind hypothesis can fruitfully be resolved by to a large extent rely on invented examples of cognitive activities as the empirical foundation. We sugge...

The paper will discuss the extended mind thesis with a view to the notions of “agent” and of “mind”, while helping to clarify the relation between “embodiment” and the “extended mind”. I will suggest that the extended mind thesis constitutes a reductio ad absurdum of the notion of ‘mind’; the consequence of the extended mind debate should be to drop the notion of the mind altogether – rather th...

This  paper extends the notion of fuzzy $BCK$-subalgebras to fuzzy hyper $BCK$-subalgebras and defines an extended fuzzy $BCK$-subalgebras. This study  considers  a type of fuzzy hyper  $BCK$-ideals  in this  hyperstructure  and  describes   the  relationship  between hyper  $BCK$-ideals and  fuzzy hyper  $BCK$-ideals.  In fact, it tries to introduce   a  strongly  regular  relation  on hyper $...

We develop complementary connections between McLuhan’s media ecology notion of media as ‘extensions of man’ and the Extended Mind Thesis of Andy Clark.
