‎let $mathcal{a}$ be a unital banach algebra‎, ‎$mathcal{m}$ be a left $mathcal{a}$-module‎, ‎and $w$ in $mathcal{z}(mathcal{a})$ be a left separating point of $mathcal{m}$‎. ‎we show that if $mathcal{m}$ is a unital left $mathcal{a}$-module and $delta$ is a linear mapping from $mathcal{a}$ into $mathcal{m}$‎, ‎then the following four conditions are equivalent‎: ‎(i) $delta$ is a jordan left de...

1. A complex Banach algebra A is a compact (weakly compact) algebra if its left and right regular representations consist of compact (weakly compact) operators. Let E be any subset of A and denote by Ei and Er the left and right annihilators of E. A is an annihilator algebra if A¡= (0) —Ar, Ir^{fS) for each proper closed left ideal / and Ji t¿ (0) for each proper closed right ideal /. In [6, Th...

The family of one-rule grid semi-Thue systems, introduced by Alfons Geser, is the family of one-rule semi-Thue systems such that there exists a letter c that occurs as often in the left-hand side as the right-hand side of the rewriting rule. We prove that for any one-rule grid semi-Thue system S, the set S(w) of all words obtainable from w using repeatedly the rewriting rule of S is a construct...

In intelligent systems where fuzzy rule base and reasoning mechanism are applied, like fuzzy control systems, decision support and expert systems, one of the key issues is the problem of aggregation of information represented by membership functions. Since the pioneering work of Prof. Lotfi Zadeh [21] a great number of fuzzy connectives, aggregation operators have been introduced. The results o...

In this preliminary work, left and right conjugate vectors are deened for nonsymmetric, nonsin-gular matrices A and some properties of these vectors are studied. A left conjugate direction (LCD) method for solving nonsymmetric systems of linear equations is proposed. The method reduces to the usual conjugate gradient method when A is symmetric positive deenite. A nite termination property of th...

BACKGROUND Significant controversy remains over how urgently coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) should be scheduled, particularly for patients with stenosis of the left main coronary artery. Our main objective was to evaluate the safety of waiting for CABG among patients with left main coronary artery disease using a standardized triage system. METHODS We identified 561 consecutive p...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Left atrium size and function is an important but less studied prognostic marker for many cardiovascular diseases [1]. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can capture atrial structure with a high temporal spatial resolution. However, diagnoses accurate measurement volumes from MRI often rely on time-consuming man...
