background: gap junctions (gjs) provide direct intercellular communications that are formed by hexameric protein subunits, called connexin (cx). the role of cxs in epileptogenesis has not received sufficient attention. hippocampus with critical function in epileptogenesis has a wide network of gjs. we examined the protein expression levels of hippocampal cx36 (the prominent cx present between g...

The notion of vague ideals in pseudo MV-algebras is introduced,and several properties are investigated. Conditions for a vague set to be avague ideal are provided. Conditions for a vague ideal to be implicative aregiven. Characterizations of (implicative, prime) vague ideals are discussed.The smallest vague ideal containing a given vague set is established. Primeand implicative extension proper...

Logics for ‘generally’ were introduced for handling assertions with vague notions, such as ‘generally’, ‘most’, ‘several’, etc., by generalized quantifiers, ultrafilter logic being an interesting case. Here, we show that ultrafilter logic can be faithfully embedded into a first-order theory of certain functions, called coherent. We also use generic functions (akin to Skolem functions) to enable...

The aim of this paper is to introduce a novel two-step Fuzzy Rule Interpolation Technique (FRIT) “VEIN”, based on the concept of Vague Environment. The strength of FRIT against classical fuzzy reasoning methods is the ability of gaining conclusion even in case where the knowledge is represented by sparse fuzzy rule bases. The FRIT “VEIN” introduced in this paper is following the structure the G...

In this paper, the concept of v-filters on lattice implication algebras is introduced by linking the Vague set and filter theory of lattice implication algebras; The properties and equivalent characterizations of v-filters are investigated; The relations between v-filters and filters are studied.
