A new framework for propositional merging is presented. DA2 merging operators, parameterized by a distance between interpretations and two aggregation functions, are introduced. Many distances and aggregation functions can be used and many merging operators already defined in the literature (including both model-based ones and syntax-based ones) can be encoded as specific DA2 operators. Both lo...

Let $mathcal{H}$ and $mathcal{K}$ be infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces, while $mathcal{B(H)}$ and $mathcal{B(K)}$ denote the algebras of all linear bounded operators on $mathcal{H}$ and $mathcal{K}$, respectively. We characterize the forms of additive mappings from $mathcal{B(H)}$ into $mathcal{B(K)}$ that preserve the nonzero idempotency of either Jordan products of operators or usual produc...

In this paper, a new definition of numerical radius for adjointable operators in Hilbert -module space will be introduced. We also give a new proof of numerical radius inequalities for Hilbert space operators.

workplace factors such as sound must have the minimum impact on the operators of combine harvester, so that they can guide and control many functions of the combine. in this study, some factors affecting the noise generated by two combine harvesters john deere 1055 and sampo 3065 were evaluated. research factors were engine speed, gear ratios, type of operation and microphone distance. the resu...

This paper presents a software architecture that is capable of easy extension and maintenance and enables the user to develop applications rapidly and in a flexible manner. This is achieved by using an object-oriented design, both for the data structures and the operators which process this data. The granularity of the operators is chosen such that they easily can be combined to solve various k...

BACKGROUND Human exposure to hazardous substances in the environment has been known to play an important role in the pathogenesis of some diseases. Photocopying machines have become a cheap source of self-employment in Nigeria. For obvious reasons the highest level of patronage is encountered in the campuses of educational institutions. However, the persons who operate the machines are always e...

UAVs are becoming indispensable assets for military command and control applications such as surveillance, reconnaissance, search and rescue operations because of their superiorities over manned vehicles. Nevertheless, humans are still needed for high-level guidance and commanding of UAVs in those operations for their intelligence and higher level of flexibility in decision making. Within this ...

By introducing the concepts of order almost Dunford-Pettis and almost weakly limited operators in Banach lattices, we give some properties of them related to some well known classes of operators, such as, order weakly compact, order Dunford-Pettis, weak and almost Dunford- Pettis and weakly limited operators. Then, we characterize Banach lat- tices E and F on which each operator from E into F t...
