In this paper, by presenting some notions and theorems, we obtaindifferent types of fuzzy topologies. In fact, we obtain someLowen-type  and Chang-type fuzzy topologies on general fuzzyautomata. To this end, first we define a Kuratowski fuzzy interioroperator which induces a  Lowen-type  fuzzy topology on the  set ofstates of a max- min general   fuzzy automaton. Also by  provingsome theorems, ...

In this issue of Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, Chang and colleagues evaluate the performance of the A1CNow® SELFCHECK device for measurement of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). The authors discuss the potential advantages of point-of-care (POC) HbA1c testing and also mention the importance of accuracy and precision and provide some data to document the device's performance. There are speci...

We present a method computing a minimum sized partition of the variables of an incompletely specied Boolean function into symmetric groups. The method can be used during minimization of robdds of incompletely speci ed Boolean functions. We apply it as a preprocessing step of symmetric sifting presented by Panda [24] and Moller [20] and of techniques for robdd minimization of incompletely speci...

On the basis of the representative samples of silty clay found in Wuhan, China, the lateral unloading of soil’s stress path produced by excavating foundation pit engineering, was simulated by triaxial experiment. A series of consolidated-drained true triaxial test and normal triaxial test were conducted. According to the results of tests, the parameter of the Duncan-Chang Model was determined. ...
