In this paper, we show that for any ${\sigma}$-complete Boolean subalgebra $\mathcal{M}$ of $\mathcal{R}(X)$ containing $Z(X)^{\sharp}$, the Stone-space $S(\mathcal{M})$ of $\mathcal{M}$ is a basically diconnected cover of ${\beta}X$ and that the subspace {${\alpha}{\mid}{\alpha}$ is a fixed $\mathcal{M}$-ultrafilter} of the Stone-space $S(\mathcal{M})$ is the the minimal basically disconnected cover of X if and only if it is a basically disconnected space and $\mathcal{M}{\subseteq}\{\Lambda_X(A){\mid}A{\in}Z({\Lambda}X)^{\sharp}\}$.

In this paper, we construct a cover ($\mathcal{L}(X)$, $c_X$) of a space X such that for any cloz-cover (Y, f) of X, there is a covering map g : $Y{\longrightarrow}\mathcal{L}(X)$ with $c_X{\circ}g=f$. Using this, we show that every Tychonoff space X has a minimal cloz-cover ($E_{cc}(X)$, $z_X$) and that for a strongly zero-dimensional space X, ${\beta}E_{cc}(X)=E_{cc}({\beta}X)$ if and only if $E_{cc}(X)$ is $z^{\sharp}$-embedded in $E_{cc}({\beta}X)$.

Purpose: The reconstruction of defects around the knee and the proximal third of the leg necessitates thin, pliable skin with a stable and sensate soft tissue cover. This study analyzed the use of a proximally based sural artery flap for the coverage of such defects. Methods: This prospective clinical interventional study involved 10 patients who had soft tissue defects over the knee and the proximal third of the leg. These patients underwent reconstruction with a proximally based sural artery flap. The study analyzed various factors including age, sex, etiology, location and presentation of the defect, defect dimensions, flap particulars, postoperative complications, and follow-up. Results: There were 10 cases, all of which involved men aged 20 to 65 years. The most common cause of injury was trauma resulting from road traffic accidents. The majority of defects were found in the proximal third of the leg, particularly on the anterolateral aspect. Defect dimensions varied from 6×3 to 15×13 cm², and extensive defects as large as 16 cm×14 cm could be covered using this flap. The size of the flaps ranged from 7×4 to 16×14 cm², and the pedicle length was 10 to 15 cm. In all cases, donor site closure was achieved with split skin grafting. This flap consistently provided a thin, pliable, stable, and durable soft tissue cover over the defect with no functional deficit and minimal donor site morbidity. Complications, including distal flap necrosis and donor site graft loss, were observed in two cases. Conclusions: The proximally based sural fasciocutaneous flap serves as the primary method for reconstructing medium to large soft tissue defects around the knee and the proximal third of the leg. This technique offers thin, reliable, sensate, and stable soft tissue coverage, and can cover larger defects with minimal complications.

Let $[n]=\{1,2,{\ldots},n\}$. A set ${\mathbf{A}}=\{A_1,A_2,{\ldots},A_l\}$ is a minimal cover of [n] if ${\cup}_{1{\leq}i{\leq}l}A_i=[n]$ and $$\bigcup_{{1{\leq}i{\leq}l,}\\{i{\neq}j_0}}A_i{\neq}[n]\text{ for all }j_0{\in}[l]$$. Let ${\mathcal{C}}(n)$ denote the collection of all minimal covers of [n], and write $C_n={\mid}{\mathcal{C}}(n){\mid}$. Let ${\mathbf{A}}{\in}{\mathcal{C}}(n)$. An element $u{\in}[n]$ is critical in ${\mathbf{A}}$ if it appears exactly once in ${\mathbf{A}}$. Two minimal covers ${\mathbf{A}},{\mathbf{B}}{\in}{\mathcal{C}}(n)$ are said to be restricted t-intersecting if they share at least t sets each containing an element which is critical in both ${\mathbf{A}}$ and ${\mathbf{B}}$. A family ${\mathcal{A}}{\subseteq}{\mathcal{C}}(n)$ is said to be restricted t-intersecting if every pair of distinct elements in ${\mathcal{A}}$ are restricted t-intersecting. In this paper, we prove that there exists a constant $n_0=n_0(t)$ depending on t, such that for all $n{\geq}n_0$, if ${\mathcal{A}}{\subseteq}{\mathcal{C}}(n)$ is restricted t-intersecting, then ${\mid}{\mathcal{A}}{\mid}{\leq}{\mathcal{C}}_{n-t}$. Moreover, the bound is attained if and only if ${\mathcal{A}}$ is isomorphic to the family ${\mathcal{D}}_0(t)$ consisting of all minimal covers which contain the singleton parts $\{1\},{\ldots},\{t\}$. A similar result also holds for restricted r-cross intersecting families of minimal covers.

Observing that every Tychonoff space X has an extension $kX$ which is a weakly Lindel$\ddot{o}$f space and the minimal quasi-F cover $QF(kX)$ of $kX$ is a weakly Lindel$\ddot{o}$f, we show that ${\Phi}_{kX}:QF(kX){\rightarrow}kX$ is a $z^{\sharp}$-irreducible map and that $QF({\beta}X)=QF(kX)$. Using these, we prove that $QF(kX)=kQF(X)$ if and only if ${\Phi}^k_X:kQF(X){\rightarrow}kX$ is an onto map and ${\beta}QF(X)=(QF{\beta}X)$.

In this paper, we show that every compactification, which is a quasi-F space, of a space X is a Wallman compactification and that for any compactification K of the space X, the minimal quasi-F cover QFK of K is also a Wallman compactification of the inverse image ${\Phi}_K^{-1}(X)$ of the space X under the covering map ${\Phi}_K:QFK{\rightarrow}K$. Using these, we show that for any space X, ${\beta}QFX=QF{\beta}{\upsilon}X$ and that a realcompact space X is a projective object in the category $Rcomp_{\sharp}$ of all realcompact spaces and their $z^{\sharp}$-irreducible maps if and only if X is a quasi-F space.

In this paper, we first show that for any space X, there is a ${\sigma}$-complete Boolean subalgebra of $\mathcal{R}$(X) and that the subspace {${\alpha}{\mid}{\alpha}$ is a fixed ${\sigma}Z(X)^{\sharp}$-ultrafilter} of the Stone-space $S(Z({\Lambda}_X)^{\sharp})$ is the minimal basically disconnected cover of X. Using this, we will show that for any countably locally weakly Lindel$\ddot{o}$f space X, the set {$M{\mid}M$ is a ${\sigma}$-complete Boolean subalgebra of $\mathcal{R}$(X) containing $Z(X)^{\sharp}$ and $s_M^{-1}(X)$ is basically disconnected}, when partially ordered by inclusion, becomes a complete lattice.

Observing that every Tychonoff space X has a weakly Lindel$\ddot{o}$f extension ${\kappa}X$ and the minimal basically diconneted cover ${\Lambda}{\kappa}X$ of ${\kappa}X$ is weakly Lindel$\ddot{o}$f, we first show that ${\Lambda}_{{\kappa}X}:{\Lambda}{\kappa}X{\rightarrow}{\kappa}X$ is a $z^{\sharp}$-irreducible map and that ${\Lambda}{\beta}X={\beta}{\Lambda}{\kappa}X$. And we show that ${\kappa}{\Lambda}X={\Lambda}{\kappa}X$ if and only if ${\Lambda}^{\kappa}_X:{\kappa}{\Lambda}X{\rightarrow}{\kappa}X$ is an onto map and ${\beta}{\Lambda}X={\Lambda}{\beta}X$.

This paper investigates the relationship between the two problems, supervisor reduction and observation function (projection) design, which arise in supervisory control of DEDS. It is shown through an example that a reduced supervisor of minimal size does not necessarily result in a maximal projection when a projection design method which uses the transition structure of a supervisor is applied. Also, if an L-realizable projection P is available and if a supervisor has a special structural feature, a cover C for supervisor reduction can be easily obtained. By investigating the control-compatibility of states of the reduced supervisor based on C, we can also check maximality of P in a simple manner.
