La ricostruzione acetabolare con augment in tantalio nei gravi difetti ossei
Acetabular bone defects are a critical and frustrating issue; while it is possible to obtain a good reconstruction with conventional methods (i.e. bulk graft, cage and cement), such results are rarely observed...

Towards a Theory of Conservative Computing
We extend the notion of conservativeness, given by Fredkin and Toffoli in 1982, to generic gates whose input and output lines may assume a finite number d of truth values. A physical interpretation of conservativ...

De Morgan Property for Effect Algebras of von Neumann Algebras
It is shown that the unit interval of a von Neumann algebra is a Sum Brouwer–Zadeh algebra when equipped with another unary operation sending each element to the complement of its range projection. The main re...

On the de Morgan Property of the Standard Brouwer–Zadeh Poset
The standard Brouwer–Zadeh poset Σ(H) is the poset of all effect operators on a Hilbert space H, naturally equipped with two types of orthocomplementation. In develo** the theory, the question occured if (wh...

Pre-BZ and Degenerate BZ Posets: Applications to Fuzzy Sets and Unsharp Quantum Theories
Two different generalizations of Brouwer–Zadeh posets (BZ posets) are introduced. The former (called pre-BZ poset) arises from topological spaces, whose standard power set orthocomplemented complete atomic lat...

A shift-invariant metric on S zz inducing a non-trivial topology
In this paper we discuss the meaning of sensitivity and its implications in CA behavior. A new shift-invariant metric is given. The metric topology induced by this metric is perfect but not compact. Moreover w...

Essential Transformations of the One Dimensional Cellular Automata Rule Space and Endomorphisms of Compact Abelian Groups
In this paper we review some of the most popular definitions of chaos. In order to distinguish simple shift-like dynamics from one-sided shift-like dynamics we introduce CF-chaotic systems. We prove that this ...
