Fuzzy fixed points of generalized F2-geraghty type fuzzy mappings and complementary results
2016
The aim of this paper is to introduce generalized F2-Geraghty type fuzzy mappings on a metric space for establishing the existence of fuzzy fixed points of such mappings. As an application of our result, we obtain the existence of common fuzzy fixed point for a generalized F2-Geraghty type fuzzy hybrid pair. These results unify, generalize and complement various known comparable results in the literature. An example and an application to theoretical computer science are presented to support the theory proved herein. Also, to suggest further research on fuzzy mappings, a Feng–Liu type theorem is proved.
A heuristic fuzzy algorithm for assessing and managing tourism sustainability
2019
“Smartness” and “sustainability” are gaining growing attention from both practitioners and policy makers. “Smartness” and “sustainability” assessments are of crucial importance for directing, in a systemic perspective, the decision-making process toward sustainability and smart growth objectives. Sustainability assessment is a major challenge due to the multidisciplinary aspects involved that make the evaluation process complex and hinder the effectiveness of available monitoring tools. To achieve the assessment objective, we introduce an enhanced fuzzy logic-based framework for handling the inherent uncertainty and vagueness of the involved variables: we apply our approach to Italy, and we…
GPRS Security for Smart Meters
2013
Part 1: Cross-Domain Conference and Workshop on Multidisciplinary Research and Practice for Information Systems (CD-ARES 2013); International audience; Many Smart Grid installations rely on General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) for wireless communication in Advanced Metering Infrastructures (AMI). In this paper we describe security functions available in GPRS, explaining authentication and encryption options, and evaluate how suitable it is for use in a Smart Grid environment. We conclude that suitability of GPRS depends on the chosen authentication and encryption functions, and on selecting a reliable and trustworthy mobile network operator.
Il Rilievo MMS di tracciati autostradali
2009
Già da alcuni anni alcuni autori hanno messo in risalto come, anche in ambito autostradale, la geometria d’asse intesa come il complesso plano-altimetrico degli elementi di tracciato, eserciti un ruolo non marginale sulla condotta di guida dell’utente. Grazie alle metodologie di verifica della coerenza della linea d’asse di tracciato (Design Consistency), si accerta o meno che esista un’armonica correlazione tra parametri geometrici significativi e la velocità, di progetto od operativa, del tronco considerato. L’espressione grafica di tale correlazione è il cosiddetto diagramma delle velocità, dalla cui analisi, secondo criteri invero peculiari di infrastrutture viarie non autostradali, è p…
Late gadolinium enhancement-cardiovascular magnetic resonance identifies coronary artery disease as the aetiology of left ventricular dysfunction in …
2009
Aims We evaluated the ability of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to identify acute new-onset heart failure (HF) with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD), whether or not in relation to underlying coronary artery disease (CAD), in patients with no clinical evidence of associated ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Methods and results Hundred consecutive patients admitted with acute new-onset decompensated HF and EF ,40%, with no clinical or electrocardiographic data suggestive of CAD. The patients were classified according to the presence or absence of significant CAD (stenosis � 70% in at least one major vessel). Twenty-one patients (21%) had si…
Anisotropic Navier Kirchhoff problems with convection and Laplacian dependence
2022
We consider the Navier problem-Delta(2)(k,p)u(x)=f(x,u(x), del u(x), Delta u(x)) in Omega, u vertical bar(partial derivative Omega) =Delta u vertical bar(partial derivative Omega) = 0,driven by the sign-changing (degenerate) Kirchhoff type p(x)-biharmonic operator, and involving a (del u, Delta u)-dependent nonlinearity f. We prove the existence of solutions, in weak sense, defining an appropriate Nemitsky map for the nonlinearity. Then, the Brouwer fixed point theorem assessed for a Galerkin basis of the Banach space W-2,W-p(x)(Omega)boolean AND W-0(1,p(x))(Omega) leads to the existence result. The case of nondegenerate Kirchhoff type p(x)-biharmonic operator is also considered with respec…
Graft-versus-host disease affecting oral cavity. A review
2014
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is one of the most frequent and serious complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and is regarded as the leading cause of late mortality unrelated to the underlying malignant disease. GVHD is an autoimmune and alloimmune disorder that usually affects multiple organs and tissues, and exhibits a variable clinical course. It can manifest in either acute or chronic form. The acute presentation of GVHD is potentially fatal and typically affects the skin, gastrointestinal tract and liver. The chronic form is characterized by the involvement of a number of organs, including the oral cavity. Indeed, the oral cavity may be the only affected location i…
Computer-aided calculation of the molecular size of nondenatured proteins in pore-gradient gel electrophoresis
1991
A computer program written in Turbo C is described, which uses the two-step mathematical procedure published recently (Rothe, G. M., Electrophoresis 1988, 9, 307-316) to evaluate the molecular mass, Stokes' radius, spherical radius, and frictional coefficient of nondenatured proteins. The program runs on any IBM-PC or 100% compatible IBM-PC, provided the disk operating system MS-DOS or PC-DOS 3.0 or later has been installed. Functions that are permanently in use are accessible by menu. Storage and loading of data from disk and help instructions can be called by use of function keys. The program provides several tables into which inserted and calculated data is automatically integrated. Each…
Isobaric Vapor–Liquid Equilibria of 1-Propanol + Water + Trifluoromethanesulfonate-Based Ionic Liquid Ternary Systems at 100 kPa
2011
Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) for the 1-propanol + 1-butyl-3-ethylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([beim][triflate]), water + [beim][triflate], 1-propanol + 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([bmpyr][triflate]), and water + [bmpyr][triflate] binary systems, as well as the VLE for the 1-propanol + water + [beim][triflate] and 1-propanol + water + [bmpyr][triflate] ternary systems have been obtained at 100 kPa using a recirculating still. The salting-out effect on the 1-propanol produced by the [bmpyr][triflate] was stronger than that produced by the [beim][triflate], although for the IL concentrations used in this study the effect was not enough to break …
