Cross-protection between Venezuelan, Eastern, and Western equine encephalomyelitis (VEE, EEE, WEE) viruses was studied in the hamster by using challenge responses and neutralizing antibody titers as indexes of protection. Formalin-inactivated vaccines induced only homologous protection regardless of the sequence of vaccination or the combination of vaccines employed. Use of attenuated VEE vacci...

Abstract In this paper, we construct the solutions to following nonlinear Schrödinger system $$\begin{aligned} {\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\epsilon ^{2}\Delta u+P(x)u= \mu _{1} u^{p}+\beta u^{\frac{p-1}{2}}v^{\frac{p+1}{2}} \ \text {in} \mathbb {R}^{N},\\ v+Q(x)v= _{2} v^{p}+\beta u^{\frac{p+1}{2}}v^{\frac{p-1}{2}} {R}^{N}, \end{array}\right. } \end{aligned}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3...

We develop a stochastic approximation-type algorithm to solve finite state/action, infinite-horizon, risk-aware Markov decision processes. Our has two loops. The inner loop computes the risk by solving saddle-point problem. outer performs $Q-$ learning compute an optimal policy. Several widely investigated measures (e.g., conditional value-at-risk, optimized certainty equivalent, and absolute s...

In this chapter, we present a propositional calculus for several intervalvalued fuzzy logics, i.e., logics having intervals as truth values. More precisely, the truth values are preferably subintervals of the unit interval. The idea behind it is that such an interval can model imprecise information. To compute the truth values of ‘p implies q’ and ‘p and q’, given the truth values of p and q, w...

Let $\mathbf{F}_q$ be a finite field of $q$ elements. We show that the normalized Jacobi sum $q^{-(m-1)/2}J(\chi_1,\dots,\chi_m)$ ($\chi_1\dotsm \chi_m$ nontrivial) is asymptotically equidistributed on unit circle, when $\chi_1\in \mathcal{A}_1,\dots, \chi_m\in \mathcal{A}_m$ run through arbitrary sets nontrivial multiplicative characters $\mathbf{F}_q^\times$, if $\#\mathcal{A}_1\ge q^{\frac{1...

Let Q be a given n× n square symmetric matrix of nonnegative elements between 0 and 1, e.g. similarities. Fuzzy clustering results in fuzzy assignment of individuals to K clusters. In additive fuzzy clustering, the n × K fuzzy memberships matrix P is found by leastsquares approximation of the off-diagonal elements of Q by inner products of rows of P. By contrast, kernelized fuzzy c-means is not...

We study the transition between phases at large $R$-charge on a conformal manifold. These are characterized by behaviour of lowest operator dimension $\Delta(Q_R)$ for fixed and $Q_R$. focus, as an example, $D=3$, $\mathcal{N}=2$ Wess-Zumino model with cubic superpotential $W=XYZ+\frac{\tau}{6}(X^3+Y^3+Z^3)$, compute $\Delta(Q_R,\tau)$ using $\epsilon$-expansion in three interesting limits. In ...

We define interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-ideals, interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-quasi-ideals, interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-bi-ideals and characterize k-regular and k-intra regular hemirings by the properties of interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-ideals, interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-quasi-ideals and interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-bi-ideals. 2010 mathematics subject classification: 16Y60 • ...
