This year, we introduced the concept of infra soft topology as a new generalization topology. To complete our analysis this space, devote paper to presenting concepts connected and locally spaces. We provide some descriptions for connectedness elucidate that there is no relationship between an topological space its parametric spaces with respect property connectedness. discuss behaviors under h...

Image segmentation is an important research topic in image processing and computer vision community. In this paper, we present a novel segmentation method based on the combination of fuzzy connectedness and adaptive fuzzy C means (AFCM). AFCM handles intensity inhomogeneities problem in magnetic resonance images (MRI) and provides effective seeds for fuzzy connectedness simultaneously. With the...

We propose a new segmentation algorithm based on competing fuzzy connectedness theory, which is then used for visualizing coronary arteries in 3D CT angiography (CTA) images. The major difference compared to other fuzzy connectedness algorithms is that an additional data structure, the connectedness tree, is constructed at the same time as the seeds propagate. In preliminary evaluations, accura...

Validity of comparisons between expected breeding values obtained from best linear unbiased prediction procedures in genetic evaluations is dependent on genetic connectedness among herds. Different cattle breeding programmes have their own particular features that distinguish their database structure and can affect connectedness. Thus, the evolution of these programmes can also alter the connec...

In this study, a minimal submaximal element of LIT(X) (the lattice of all intuitionistic topologies for X, ordered by inclusion) is determined. Afterwards, a new contractive property, intuitionistic mega-connectedness, is defined. We show that the submaximality and mega-connectedness are not complementary intuitionistic topological invariants by identifying those members of LIT(X) which are int...

This study tested Gross's process model of emotion regulation in a Chinese adolescent sample. It hypothesized that emotion regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression) would predict adolescents' perception of school connectedness and depressive symptoms. It also posited that school connectedness may be a possible mediator between emotion regulation and depressive sym...

Previous studies have shown that positive affect (PA) and social connectedness predict better health in the United States (U.S.). However, the relevance of such findings for other cultural contexts has been largely ignored. The present study investigated the interplay of PA, social connectedness, and health using large probability samples of Japanese and U.S. adults. Health was measured objecti...

Currently, connectedness assesment is primarily done through questionnaires. Although questionnaires are good for tapping into the user experience, they also have drawbacks, like memory biases, proneness to social masking, and lack of mental access. Now that sophisticated sensors are becoming cheaper, less obtrusive, and more widely available, this opens doors to more objective continuous measu...
