We discuss issues related to constructing an orthomodular structure from an object in a category. In particular, we consider axiomatics related to Baer *-semigroups, partial semigroups, and various constructions involving dagger categories, kernels, and biproducts.

We present a characterisation of { 1(q+1)+ 0, 1;n, q}-minihypers, q square, q = ph, p > 3 prime, h ≥ 2, q ≥ 1217, for 0+ 1 < q 7/12 2 − q1/4 2 . This improves a characterisation result of S. Ferret and L. Storme [6], involving more Baer subgeometries contained in the minihyper.

We introduce a dynamic and secondary-memory-based variant of the List of Clusters, which is shown to be competitive with the literature, especially on higher-dimensional spaces, where it outperforms the M-tree in searches and I/Os used for insertions. The basic principles of our design are applicable to other secondary-memory structures.

This paper presents characterizations of M-fuzzifying matroids bymeans of two kinds of fuzzy operators, called M-fuzzifying derived operatorsand M-fuzzifying difference derived operators.

The Asiatic oak weevil, Cyrtepistomus castaneus Roelofs (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a nonnative defoliator of trees in the Fagaceae family in the United States but has not been studied on Castanea species in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Planted trees of Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh. (Fagales: Fagaceae), Castanea mollissima Blume (Fagales: Fagaceae), and four hybrid breeding genera...

‎The ABS methods‎, ‎introduced by Abaffy‎, ‎Broyden and Spedicato‎, ‎are‎‎direct iteration methods for solving a linear system where the‎‎$i$-th iteration satisfies the first $i$ equations‎, ‎therefore a‎ ‎system of $m$ equations is solved in at most $m$ steps‎. ‎In this‎‎paper‎, ‎we introduce a class of ABS-type methods for solving a full row‎‎rank linear equations‎, ‎w...
