The theory of fuzzy sets with reference to subnormality needs to be properly explained. We shall in this article put forward the actual mathematical explanation of subnormal partial presence of an element in a set, better known as subnormal fuzziness. We shall first show that every law of subnormal fuzziness can be expressed in terms of two Lebesgue-Stieltjes measures. Thereafter we would defin...

This remarkable and brilliant book throws a searchlight on to the clinical study, treatment and training of a section of our community whose problems have been so misunderstood and ignored. The author's approach reveals much profound and original thinking based on a new concept of the condition which has been labelled "subnormality", and his opinions and findings are the result of years of expe...

Background Adrenal insufficiency (AI) secondary to treatment with glucocorticoids (GCs) is common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but little is known about the relationship between AI and the clinical course in IBD. The aim of the study was to compare the clinical course in IBD patients with normal adrenal function versus patients with subnormal adrenal function. Methods A ...

The Hospital Plan makes it clear that "very different considerations" from those obtaining in planning mental illness services "govern the provision required for the subnormal and severely subnormal" (p. 5). These considerations, however, have not led the planners to firm conclusions. All the factors mentioned as relevant in the Plan are assumed to "more or less offset one another" (p. 5). In 1...

In this paper it is shown that if T ∈ L(H) satisfies (i) T is a pure hyponormal operator; (ii) [T ∗, T ] is of rank-two; and (iii) ker [T ∗, T ] is invariant for T , then T is either a subnormal operator or the Putinar’s matricial model of rank two. More precisely, if T |ker [T∗,T ] has the rank-one self-commutator then T is subnormal and if instead T |ker [T∗,T ] has the ranktwo self-commutato...
