background and objective: the quality of flat breads depends in part on the textural and structural properties of breads during storage. these properties are largely affected by flour quality. this research aimed at evaluating textural and structural properties of lavash bread types during storage by different techniques, comparing these methods and determination of correlation between their re...

A satisfactory bituminous mix should have aggregate gradation, which will ensure maximum density and minimum voids in the mix to fulfill requirements of bituminous mix design specifications. In India organizations such as Indian Roads Congress and Ministry of Surface Transport (MOST) [1] have laid down specifications regarding the range of percentage passing of different size of aggregate in th...

Finite Elements in Analysis and Design ()-This paper gives a status on anisotropic mesh gradation. We present two 3D anisotropic formulations of mesh gradation. The metric at each point defines a well-graded smooth continuous metric field over the domain. The mesh gradation then consists in taking into account at each point the strongest size constraint given by all these continuous metric fiel...

This paper presents a new approach to the semantics of spatial degree and comparison (gradation) expressions (e.g., 2m less long than). Taking a broad cognitive science perspective, results of different research fields are combined into a cognitive framework for the ‘semantics of gradation’ (Bierwisch 1989). A distinction between implicitly and explicitly represented aspects of space will be ma...

We list two kinds of gradation of openness and we study in the sense of the followings: (i) We give the definition of IVGO of fuzzy sets and obtain some basic results. (ii) We give the definition of interval-valued gradation of clopeness and obtain some properties. (iii) We give the definition of a subspace of an interval-valued smooth topological space and obtain some properties. (iv) We inves...

Koskenniemi’s two-level morphology was the first practical general model in the history of computational linguistics for the analysis of morphologically complex languages. In this article we will reconsider one of the key innovations in Koskenniemi (1983), namely the treatment of consonant gradation in finite state transducers. We will look not at Finnish, but at two languages with a more exten...
