in this paper,  we introduce  the notion of $m$-fuzzifying interval spaces, and discuss the relationship between $m$-fuzzifying interval spaces and $m$-fuzzifying convex structures.it is proved that  the category  {bf mycsa2}  can be embedded in  the category  {bf  myis}  as a reflective subcategory, where  {bf mycsa2} and   {bf  myis} denote  the category of $m$-fuzzifying convex structures of...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of {bf K}-flat projective fuzzy quantales, and give an elementary characterization in terms of a fuzzy binary relation on the fuzzy quantale. Moreover, we  prove that {bf K}-flat projective fuzzy quantales are precisely the coalgebras for a certain comonad on the category of fuzzy quantales. Finally, we present two special cases of {bf K} as examples.

BACKGROUND Over the past decade, considerable attention has been paid to accurately measuring body composition in diverse populations. Recently, the use of air-displacement plethysmography (AP) was proposed as an accurate, comfortable, and accessible method of body-composition analysis. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare measurements of percentage body fat (%BF) by AP and 2 ot...

Using percentage body fat (BF%) from a three-compartment (3C) model (body density from underwater weighing (UWW) and bone-mineral mass from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as a criterion, we studied the accuracy of UWW, DXA, two skinfold equations, and two bioimpedance (BIA) equations. Thirty-four women (aged 16-20 years) with BF% 13.5-31.1 volunteered. UWW underestimated BF% by -0.5 BF%...

we show that in {bf zf} set theory without choice, the ultrafilter mbox{principle} ({bf up}) is equivalent to several compactness theorems for alexandroff discrete spaces and to rudin's lemma, a basic tool in topology and the theory of quasi-continuous domains. important consequences of rudin's lemma are various lift lemmas, saying that certain properties of posets are inherited by th...

Acetic acid-soluble and insoluble proteins were isolated from doughs mixed in the presence of N-ethylmaleimide (NEMI). Reducedpyridylethylated acetic acid-insoluble protein (AF) and reducedpyridylethylated acetic acid-soluble protein (BF) were sequentially fractionated into an acetic acid-insoluble fraction (F-0), an acidic 70% ethanol-insoluble fraction (F-I), a neutral 70% ethanol-insoluble f...

Auditory fear conditioning with tone bursts followed by electric leg stimulation activates neurons not only in the auditory and somatosensory systems but also in many other regions of the brain and elicits shifts in the best frequencies (BFs) of collicular and cortical neurons, i.e., reorganization of the frequency (co-chleotopic) maps in the inferior colliculus and auditory cortex (AC). What a...

PURPOSE When assessing fitness levels, body composition is usually measured. The purpose of this study was to determine the overall efficacy of a body mass index (BMI) equation for predicting body composition with respect to college aged participants. METHODS Body composition was measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and was estimated using the Womersley and Durnin BMI predict...

Stromal-epithelial interactions play an important role in renal organogenesis. Expression of the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor FoxD1 (BF-2) is restricted to stromal cells in the embryonic renal cortex, but it mediates its effects on the adjacent ureteric bud and metanephric mesenchyme, which fail to grow and differentiate in BF-2 null mice. BF-2 is therefore likely to regulate tran...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of feeding by-product feed (BF)-based silage on the performance, blood metabolite parameters, and carcass characteristics of Hanwoo steers. The BF-based silage was composed of 50% spent mushroom substrate, 21% recycled poultry bedding, 15% cut ryegrass straw, 10.8% rice bran, 2% molasses, 0.6% bentonite, and 0.6% microbial additive (on a wet bas...
