0-efficient triangulations of 3-manifolds are defined and studied. It is shown that any triangulation of a closed, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold M can be modified to a 0-efficient triangulation orM can be shown to be one of the manifolds S3,RP3 or L(3, 1). Similarly, any triangulation of a compact, orientable, irreducible, ∂-irreducible 3-manifold can be modified to a 0-efficient triangula...

We prove that the associated variety of a Poisson prime ideal of the centre of a symplectic reflection algebra at parameter t = 0 is irreducible.

The aim of this paper is to lay a foundation for providing a soft algebraic tool in considering many problems that contain uncertainties. In order to provide these soft algebraic structures, the notions of closed intersectional soft BCI-ideals and intersectional soft commutative BCI-ideals are introduced, and related properties are investigated. Conditions for an intersectional soft BCI-ideal t...

In this paper we present a combinatorial study of binomial ideals of dimension 1 of k[X1, . . . , Xn], using monomial parametrizations of the irreducible affine curves defined by their associated primes. We find an algorithm that checks whether or not the ideal of a union of monomial curves is binomial and another one that calculates curves such that their associated ideal is a prescribed latti...

As a link between classical soft sets and hesitant fuzzy sets, the notion of hesitant fuzzy soft sets is introduced and applied to a decision making problem in the papers by Babitha and John (2013) and Wang et al. (2014). The aim of this paper is to apply hesitant fuzzy soft set for dealing with several kinds of theories in BCK/BCI-algebras. The notions of hesitant fuzzy soft subalgebras and (c...

BACKGROUND Proper pre-operative facial analysis that includes a thorough evaluation of both the bony and soft tissue anatomy is paramount to success in performing aesthetic surgery of the face. Ethnic variations in soft tissue profile add an important variable to pre-operative facial analysis. The aim of our study was to determine the role of ethnic variations in soft tissue facial profiles th...

The notions of union-soft semigroups, union-soft l-ideals, and union-soft r-ideals are introduced, and related properties are investigated. Characterizations of a union-soft semigroup, a union-soft l-ideal, and a union-soft r-ideal are provided. The concepts of union-soft products and union-soft semiprime soft sets are introduced, and their properties related to union-soft l-ideals and union-so...

In this paper, we extend the notions of γ-operation introduced in [12], by using the soft ideal notions. We introduce the notions of Ĩ-open soft sets, pre-Ĩopen soft sets, α-Ĩ-open soft sets, semi-Ĩ-open soft sets and β-Ĩ-open soft sets to soft topological spaces. We study the relations between these different types of subsets of soft topological spaces with soft ideal. We also introduce the co...

Various causes have been reported for irreducible fractures of the distal radius. Most of them have been reported in children.We report a case of irreducible distal radial fracture in an 18-year-old Caucasian male patient. The fracture was not reducible by closed methods and extensor pollicis tendon was found to be interposed during surgical intervention. At one year follow-up, the patient had ...
