In a laboratory, a two-dimensional complex (dusty) plasma consists of a low-density ionized gas containing a confined suspension of Yukawa-coupled plastic microspheres. For an initial crystal-like form, we report ideal gas behavior in this strongly coupled system during shock-wave experiments. This evidence supports the use of the ideal gas law as the equation of state for soft crystals such as...

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. The purpose of this article is to introduce a new class of ideals of R called weakly irreducible ideals. This class could be a generalization of the families quasi-primary ideals and strongly irreducible ideals. The relationships between the notions primary, quasi-primary, weakly irreducible, strongly irreducible and irreducible ideals, in different rings, has bee...

In this paper we show that if K is an incline with multiplicative identity and I is an r-ideal of K containing a unit u, then I = K. Moreover, we show that in a non-zero incline K with multiplicative identity and zero element, every proper r-ideal in K is contained in a maximal r-ideal of K. Z. Q. Cao, K. H. Kim and F. W. Roush [3] introduced the notion of incline algebras in their book, Inclin...

BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to identify the effect of the change in body mass index (BMI) from childhood to adulthood on body image satisfaction at 23 years of age in members of the 1982 Pelotas Birth Cohort in Pelotas, RS, Brazil. METHODS The study used data from the 1986 and 2004-5 follow-up studies. Body shape satisfaction was evaluated using the Stunkard scale. Body shape dissat...

In this paper, we introduce a method by which we can find a close connection between the set of prime $z$-ideals of $C(X)$ and the same of $C(Y)$, for some special subset $Y$ of $X$. For instance, if $Y=Coz(f)$ for some $fin C(X)$, then there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the set of prime $z$-ideals of $C(Y)$ and the set of prime $z$-ideals of $C(X)$ not containing $f$. Moreover, c...

in this article‎, ‎we have characterized ideals in $c(x)$ in which‎ ‎every ideal is also an ideal (a $z$-ideal) of $c(x)$‎. ‎motivated by‎ ‎this characterization‎, ‎we observe that $c_infty(x)$ is a regular‎ ‎ring if and only if every open locally compact $sigma$-compact‎ ‎subset of $x$ is finite‎. ‎concerning prime ideals‎, ‎it is shown that‎ ‎the sum of every two prime (semiprime) ideals of e...

In this article, we introduce a new class of ideal convergent sequence spaces using an infinite matrix, Musielak-Orlicz function and a new generalized difference matrix in locally convex spaces. We investigate some linear topological structures and algebraic properties of these spaces. We also give some relations related to these sequence spaces.

Let D be an integral domain and E = {e1, . . . , ek} a finite nonempty subset of D. Then Int(E,D) has the strong two-generator property if and only if D is a Bezout domain. If D is a Dedekind domain which is not a principal ideal domain, then we characterize which elements of Int(E, D) are strong two-generators. Let D be an integral domain with quotient field K and E ⊆ D a subset of D. We let I...

Remark (Ideals versus subrings): It is worthwhile to compare these two notions; they are related, but with subtle and important differences. Both an ideal I and a subring S of a ring R are subsets of R which are subgroups under addition and are stable under multiplication. However, each has an additional property: for an ideal it is the absorption property (IR2). For instance, the integers Z ar...
