In this paper, we propose a new definition of intuitionistic fuzzyquasi-metric and pseudo-metric spaces based on intuitionistic fuzzy points. Weprove some properties of intuitionistic fuzzy quasi- metric and pseudo-metricspaces, and show that every intuitionistic fuzzy pseudo-metric space is intuitionisticfuzzy regular and intuitionistic fuzzy completely normal and henceintuitionistic fuzzy nor...

Since the development of the calculus of variations there has been interest in finding critical points of functionals. This was intensified by the fact that for many equations arising in practice the solutions are critical points of functionals. If a functional G is semibounded, one can find a Palais-Smale (PS) sequence G(uk) → a, G(uk) → 0. These sequences produce critical points if they have ...

Results of previous investigations indicated that one of the early and essential events occurring in the apical meristem of Sinapis alba L. during the transition to flowering is the release to mitosis of the G(2) nuclei; the trigger to mitosis is generated in the leaves and its movement out of the leaves begins around 16 hours after the start of the inductive treatment. The mitotic wave in the ...

When the fricative noise of a fricative-vowel syllable is replaced by a noise from a different vocalic context, listeners experience delays in identifying both the fricative and the vowel (Whalen, 1984): mismatching the information in the fricative noise for vowel and consonant identity with the information in the vocalic segment appears to hamper processing. This effect was argued to be due to...

Sir, I was not surprised that Dr Flytström and co-workers failed to cultivate Candida in the intertriginous areas of psoriatics (1). As I showed, over 30 years ago, Candida acts as a primer and disappears when Gram-negative bacteria come along to replace it (2). This does not mean that the yeast is unable to do harm to the skin. Once applied on the folding skin where occlusion is provided, it p...

It’s not easy being empathic. However, unlike snowboarding or yodeling or decoupage, most people manage to pick up empathy skills naturally without the aid of special lessons or designated practice sessions. Knowing what someone else is thinking and feeling allows people to coordinate their activities, something that is useful and necessary in interpersonal interactions. Like any skill, empathy...

Lancet is a new, simulator-independent Python utility for succinctly specifying, launching, and collating results from large batches of interrelated computationally demanding program runs. This paper demonstrates how to combine Lancet with IPython Notebook to provide a flexible, lightweight, and agile workflow for fully reproducible scientific research. This informal and pragmatic approach uses...

We investigate the distribution of eigenvalues of completely nuclear maps on an operator space. We prove that eigenvalues of completely nuclear maps are square-summable in general and summable if the underlying operator space is Hilbertian and homogeneous. Conversely, if eigenvalues are summable for all completely nuclear maps, then every finite dimensional subspace of the underlying operator s...
