In the present work, ZnO - SiO2 and Bi2O3– CuO nanocomposites have been prepared by sol gel with alternate precursors existing in literature. They are characterised by XRD, SEM,UV, FTIR and photoluminescence  spectra .The XRD results indicate a crystallite size of  approximately 80 nm for both nanocomposites. SEM image shows a heterogeneous particle size for bot...

we consider the fundamental relation  on a semihypergroup  to interpret the lower and upper approximations as subsets of the fundamental semigroup  and we give some results in this connection. also, we introduce the notion of a bi-hyperideal to study the relationship between approximations and bi-hyperideals.

Bi-factor analysis is a form of confirmatory factor analysis originally introduced by Holzinger. The bi-factor model has a general factor and a number of group factors. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an exploratory form of bi-factor analysis. An advantage of using exploratory bi-factor analysis is that one need not provide a specific bi-factor model a priori. The result of an explora...

Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is an HDL receptor. It binds HDL and mediates the uptake of cholesteryl ester from HDL. Early studies have pointed out that the extracellular domain of SR-BI is critical for SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake. However, the extracellular loop of SR-BI is large: it contains 403 amino acids. The HDL binding site and the modulation of SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl es...

In this paper, we initiate the study of prime bi-ideals (fuzzy bi-ideals) in semirings. We define strongly prime, prime, semiprime, irreducible and strongly irreducible bi-ideals in semirings. We also define strongly prime, semiprime, irreducible, strongly irreducible fuzzy bi-ideals of semirings. We characterize those semirings in which each bi-ideal (fuzzy bi-ideal) is prime (strongly prime).

The design of robust new interfaces that process conversational speech is a challenging research direction largely because users’ spoken language is so variable, which is especially true of children. The present research explored whether children’s response latencies before initiating a conversational turn converge with those heard in the text-to-speech (TTS) of a computer partner. A study was ...
