The simulation of rubber-like material behaviour by means of the finite element method has been described in this study. Proper material models were selected for the numerical description of static hyper-elasticity. The combinations of a continuum damage mechanics concept and a pseudo-elastic concept with Gao’s elastic law were used to simulate the ideal Mullins effect. Furthermore, a specific ...

Shephard groups are unitary re ection groups arising as the sym metries of regular complex polytopes For a Shephard group we identify the representation carried by the principal ideal in the coinvariant algebra gener ated by the image of the product of all linear forms de ning re ecting hyper planes This representation turns out to have many equivalent guises making it analogous to the sign rep...

We generalize the notion of an MV-algebra in the context of residuated lattices to include noncommutative and unbounded structures. We investigate a number of their properties and prove that they can be obtained from lattice-ordered groups via a truncation construction that generalizes the Chang–Mundici Γ functor. This correspondence extends to a categorical equivalence that generalizes the one...

In his classical paper 1 , Chang invented the notion of MV-algebra in order to provide an algebraic proof of the completeness theorem of infinite valued Lukasiewicz propositional calculus. Recently, the algebraic theory of MV-algebras is intensively studied, see 2–5 . The notion of derivation, introduced from the analytic theory, is helpful to the research of structure and property in algebraic...

objectives: it is important to recognize any risk factors for the development of injuries in the athletic population. the aim of this study was to investigate the association between joint hyper mobility and low back pain in iranian hyper mobile and non-hyper mobile athletes. methods: 50 athletic patients with low back pain (age=23.20±12.79 years) and 51 healthy athletes (age=24.28±13.70) from ...

Malaria is a parasitic disease with limited chemotherapy options. Chemotherapy options are limited; moreover, drug resistant frequently occurs. The speed of drug development should be faster to overcome the emerging drug resistance. In the current study, a series of quinolone derivatives were subjected to quantitative structure activity relationship to identify the ideal physicochemical charact...

My primary and current research work is in the general spirit of algebras of logic, lattice theory, hyper structures and applications. A partially ordered set, or poset for short is a pair (P, ≤) where P is a set and ≤ a partial order on P. A poset (P, ≤) is called a lattice if every pair x, y ∈ P has a least upper bound x ∨ y and a greatest lowest bound x ∧ y in P. A lattice is bounded if it h...

BACKGROUND Monitoring the adequacy of spontaneous breathing is a major patient safety concern in the post-operative setting. Monitoring is particularly important for obese patients, who are at a higher risk for post-surgical respiratory complications and often have increased metabolic demand due to excess weight. Here we used a novel, noninvasive Respiratory Volume Monitor (RVM) to monitor vent...
