After traumatic brain injury, extracellular K(+) in brain can dramatically increase. We studied the effects of increased K(+) on the isolated pressurized rat middle cerebral artery (MCA). MCAs (200-250 microm OD) were isolated, cannulated with glass micropipettes, and pressurized. K(+) was increased in the extraluminal bath using three paradigms: (1) isotonic K(+) (K(iso)) where increases in K(...

The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy implicative ideals with thresholds (λ, μ) of BCI-algebras and to investigate its properties and characterizations. Keywords—BCI-algebra, intuitionistic fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy ideal with thresholds (λ,μ), intuitionistic fuzzy implicative ideal with thresholds (λ,μ).

We introduce the concept of a ⊗-closed set and a ⊗-homomorphism in lattice implication algebras, and we discuss some of their properties. Next, we introduce the fuzzy implicative filter and obtain equivalent conditions. Finally, we discuss the operation ⊗, fuzzy filters, and fuzzy implicative filters. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 03G10, 06B10, 94D05.

In this paper, we first introduce the concept of quasi-coincidence of a fuzzy interval value with an interval valued fuzzy set. By using this new idea, we consider the interval valued ( , fuzzy (implicative) ideals of pseudo-MV algebras and investigate some of their related properties. Some characterization theorems of these generalized fuzzy (implicative) ideals are derived. ) q ∈∈∨ −

The aim of this paper is to apply the concept of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set to implicative ideals and commutative ideals in BCK-algebras and introduced the new notion of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy implicative ideals in BCK-algebras and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy commutative ideals in BCK-algebras and related properties are investigated.

Critical Infrastructures like power and communication networks are highly interdependent on each other for their full functionality. Many significant research have been pursued to model the interdependency and failure analysis of these interdependent networks. However most of these models fail to capture the complex interdependencies that might actually exist between the infrastructures. The Im...

Matthew Spinks [35] introduces implicative BCSK-algebras, expanding implicative BCK-algebras with an additional binary operation. Subdirectly irreducible implicative BCSK-algebras can be viewed as flat posets with two operations coinciding only in the 1and 2-element cases, each, in the latter case, giving the two-valued implication truth-function. We introduce the resulting logic (for the gener...
