Srivastava and Maheshwari (Iranian Journal of Fuzzy Systems 13(1)(2016) 25-44) introduced a new divergence measure for intuitionisticfuzzy sets (IFSs). The properties of the proposed divergence measurewere studied and the efficiency of the proposed divergence measurein the context of medical diagnosis was also demonstrated. In thisnote, we point out some errors in ...

Auxiliary numerical projections of the divergence of flow velocity and vorticity parallel to magnetic field are developed and tested for the purpose of suppressing unphysical interchange instability in magnetohydrodynamic simulations. The numerical instability arises with equal-order C finiteand spectral-element expansions of the flow velocity, magnetic field, and pressure and is sensitive to b...

Here we establish the thermodynamic phase stability condition under mesoscale confinement, which is essential in elucidating how confinement of solutions inside a droplet, cell or liposome may influence separation. To clarify affected by external conditions, formal analogy between partially open ensemble and mesoscopic system will be exploited, through nonnegligible role boundary identified as ...

Cultural divergence is incongruity in the values, attitudes and behaviors among different generations of a society. Identifying factors related to cultural divergence in the social values ​​of parents and children is one of the most important issues in Iranian society, which has been investigated in the present research through a quantitative approach. The statistical population of the study co...

Local contact interactions between sea ice floes can be modeled on the large scale by treating the pack as a two-dimensional continuum with granular properties. One such model, which has gained prominence, is the viscous plastic constitutive rheology, using an elliptical yield curve and normal flow law. It has been used extensively in ice and coupled ice–ocean studies over the past two decades....

Currently there is no commonly accepted way to define, much less quantify, locomotor stability. In engineering, "orbital stability" is defined using Floquet multipliers that quantify how purely periodic systems respond to perturbations discretely from one cycle to the next. For aperiodic systems, "local stability" is defined by local divergence exponents that quantify how the system responds to...

We present results from a detailed study of spherically symmetric Einstein-massless-scalar field dynamics with a negative cosmological constant in four to nine spacetime dimensions. This study is the first to examine dynamics in AdS beyond five dimensions and the gauge dependence of recently proposed perturbative methods. Using these perturbative methods, we provide evidence that the oscillator...
