The concept of fuzzy topological spaces was introduced in [2] and ever since this introduction much research has been done in this area. In this note we introduce the concept of extension of fuzzy topological spaces as done for topological spaces in [1,7]. Let (X, T) be a fuzzy topological space and T C T*. Then T* will be called a simple extension of T iff there exists a 6 $T such that T* = {A...

In a previous paper, this author presented histological evidences that the S potential originated in the secondary neuronal layer of the retina (Mitarai, 1958). This finding is in general agreement with the results obtained independently by other investigators (MacNichol, Macpherson, and Svaetichin, 1957; Tomita, Murakami , Sato, and Hashimoto, 1959; Oikawa, Ogawa, and Motokawa, 1959). The pres...

are resistant to one of the first-line drugs (rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, streptomycin).5 Resistance is emerging due to the increasing exposure of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents. Exposure of microbes to antimicrobials tempt them to develop strategies to survive in the hostile environment and become resistant. Pressure on the bacteria to mutate and become “hardy” develops due to (...

1 I n t r o d u c t i o n This paper comes from an at tempt to demystify study of the performance of multiprocessor architectures. Its main content is the description of a new type of CPU: a hybrid of RISC and dataflow machines called D-RISC. Advocacy of this is supported by two strands of theoretical investigation. The first describes an execution model which allows analysis of both yon Neuman...

In recent years there has been lively discussion on the behavior of the vascular system especially concerning the dependence of reactions of the vessels on the nervous system (1, 2, 3, 4). In order to advance knowledge of this matter and to make clear what actually takes place, and to at tempt to indicate the significance of these processes, it has become necessary to enlarge this study by exam...

Gamification, whereby users are engaged in pre-assigned activities induced by game elements, is gaining interest among researchers and practitioners. While it has been touted that enterprise gamified information systems (ISs) can successfully tempt users, ensuring sustainable user engagement has been identified as a major challenge for organizations that have adopted the gamification ideas. Des...

The Wikipedia XML documents are considered an interesting challenge to any XML retrieval system that is capable of indexing and retrieving XML without prior knowledge of the structure. Although the structure of the Wikipedia XML documents is highly irregular and thus unpredictable, EXTIRP manages to handle all the well-formed XML documents without problems. Whether the high flexibility of EXTIR...

This paper is an at tempt to model well decline in a vapor dominated reservoir with fractal geometry. The fractal network of fractures is treated as a continuum with characteristic anomalous diffusion of pressure. A numerical solver is used t o obtain the solution of the partial differential equation including adsorption in the fractal storage space. The decline of the reservoir is found t o ob...

In industrial and educational practice, learning environments are designed and implemented by experts from many different fields, reaching from traditional software development and product management to pedagogy and didactics. Workplace and lifelong learning, however, implicate that learners are more self-motivated, capable, and self-confident in achieving their goals and, consequently, tempt t...
