Bipolarity and the relational division
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fuzzy bipolar relation is a relation defined by a fuzzy bipolar condition, which could be interpreted as an association of a constraint and a wish. In this context, the extension of the relational division operation to bipolarity is studied in this paper. Firstly, we define a bipolar division when the involved relations are crisp. Then, we define, from the semantic point of view, several forms of bipolar division when the involved relations are defined by fuzzy bipolar conditions. These forms of division can be related to the general model of fuzzy bipolar division introduced in [4, 5].

A mutation in the promoter region of zipA, a component of the divisome, suppresses the shape defect of RodZ-deficient cells
RodZ is important for maintaining the rod shape of Escherichia coli. Loss of RodZ causes conversion of the rod shape to a round shape and a growth rate slower than that of wild-type cells. Suppressor mutations that simultaneously restore both the growth rates and the rod shape were isolated. Most of the suppressor mutations are found in mreB, mrdA, or mrdB. One of the mutations was in the promo...
متن کاملHURP permits MTOC sorting for robust meiotic spindle bipolarity, similar to extra centrosome clustering in cancer cells
In contrast to somatic cells, formation of acentriolar meiotic spindles relies on the organization of microtubules (MTs) and MT-organizing centers (MTOCs) into a stable bipolar structure. The underlying mechanisms are still unknown. We show that this process is impaired in hepatoma up-regulated protein (Hurp) knockout mice, which are viable but female sterile, showing defective oocyte divisions...
متن کاملKif15 Cooperates with Eg5 to Promote Bipolar Spindle Assembly
BACKGROUND The formation of a bipolar spindle is an essential step during cell division. Bipolar spindle assembly is driven by the highly conserved microtubule motor Eg5 (kinesin-5), which can slide antiparallel microtubules apart to drive centrosome separation. However, it is currently unclear whether and how additional motors can contribute to centrosome separation and bipolar spindle formati...
متن کاملThe chromosomal passenger complex is required for meiotic acentrosomal spindle assembly and chromosome biorientation.
During meiosis in the females of many species, spindle assembly occurs in the absence of the microtubule-organizing centers called centrosomes. In the absence of centrosomes, the nature of the chromosome-based signal that recruits microtubules to promote spindle assembly as well as how spindle bipolarity is established and the chromosomes orient correctly toward the poles is not known. To addre...
متن کاملCell Division: MAST Sails Through Mitosis
Successful mitosis requires coordinated activities of microtubules and numerous associated proteins. A recent study implicates the microtubule-associated protein MAST/Orbit in a surprisingly wide array of mitotic activities, ranging from maintaining mitotic spindle bipolarity to tethering chromosomes to the ends of microtubules.
