The pathogenesis of L. monocytogenes strain Scott A was studied by challenging day-old male turkey poults by air sac inoculation with tryptose phosphate broth containing 10(0) cfu (control), 10(4), 10(5), and 10(6) cfu (low challenge), or 10(7) and 10(8) cfu (high challenge) of the Scott A (serotype 4b) strain of L. monocytogenes. Mortality at 2 wk postinfection (PI) ranged from 25% for low cha...

Multicompartment Supraparticles In article number 2211244, J. Scott VanEpps, Nicholas A. Kotov, and co-workers report how l-cysteine-stabilized FeS2 nanoparticles self-assemble into supraparticles with multiple interconnected compartments. Their structure can be described by graph theoretical representations that show similar organization complexity to those of viruses. Similarly the latter, in...

Recently, Molodtsov [12] introduced the soft set as a mathematical tool for dealing information as the uncertainty of data in engineering, physics, computer sciences and many other diverse field. Presently, the soft set theory is making progress rapidly [1,3]. Pawlak’s rough set [13,14] can be viewed as a special case of soft rough sets [3]. The topological structures of soft sets have been dev...

A robust self-organizing fuzzy-neural control (RSOFNC) system is proposed in this paper. The RSOFNC system is comprised of a self-structuring fuzzy neural network (SFNN) controller and a robust controller. The SFNN controller is the principal controller and the robust controller is designed to achieve tracking performance. In the SFNN controller design, a SFNN with the asymmetric Gaussian membe...

We develope a construction of an L-fuzzy valued measure by extending a measure defined on a σ-algebra of crisp sets to an L-fuzzy valued TM-countably additive measure defined on a TMclan of L-fuzzy sets in the case when operations for L-fuzzy sets and L-fuzzy real numbers are based on the minimum t-norm TM. Keywords— L-fuzzy set, L-fuzzy real number, L-fuzzy valued measure.

Many complicated systems of practical interest consist basically of a well-defined outer shell-like master structure and a complicated internal structure with uncertain dynamic properties. Using the "fuzzy structure theory" for predicting audible frequency vibration, the internal structure is considered as one or more fuzzy substructures that are known in some statistical sense only. Experiment...

Inthispaper, (L,M)-fuzzy domain finiteness and (L,M)-fuzzy restricted hull spaces are introduced, and several characterizations of the category (L,M)-CS of (L,M)-fuzzy convex spaces are obtained. Then, (L,M)-fuzzy stratified (resp. weakly induced, induced) convex spaces are introduced. It is proved that both categories, the category (L,M)-SCS of (L,M)-fuzzy stratified convex spaces and the cate...

We consider poset models of topological spaces and show that every T1-space has an bounded complete algebraic poset model, thus give a positive answer to a question asked in a recent paper by Waszkiewicz. It is also proved that every T1-space is homeomorphic to the maximal point space of a d-space. In the classic general topology, people are mainly interested in the spaces which satisfy at leas...

The $L$-fuzzy approximation operator associated with an $L$-fuzzy approximation space $(X,R)$ turns out to be a saturated $L$-fuzzy closure (interior) operator on a set $X$ precisely when the relation $R$ is reflexive and transitive. We investigate the relations between $L$-fuzzy approximation spaces and $L$-(fuzzy) topological spaces.
