For a family of differential equations with infinite delay, we give sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic, and global exponential stability of an equilibrium point. This family includes most of the delayed models of neural networks of Cohen-Grossberg type, with both bounded and unbounded distributed delay, for which general asymptotic and exponential stability criteria are derived. As...

In this paper, impulsive control and synchronization for the newly presented Lorenz systems family are systematically investigated. Some new and more comprehensive criteria for global exponential stability and asymptotical stability of impulsively controlled Lorenz systems family are established with varying impulsive intervals. In particular, several simple and easily verified criteria are der...

In this paper we present an optimized DSP implementation of a modified error-feedback lattice least-square (EF-LSL) adaptive filtering algorithm. Simple measures that provide numerical stability for poor persistent excitation are also proposed. As a result of the optimization and the stability measures, an efficient and stable implementation of a fast algorithm of the RLS family was attained. W...

The focal point of this paper is to provide some simple and efficient criteria to judge the D-stability of two families of polynomials, i.e., an interval multilinear polynomial matrix family and a polytopic polynomial family. Taking advantage of the uncertain parameter information, we analyze these two classes of uncertain models and give some LMI conditions for the robust stability of the two ...

The p53 family of genes and their protein products, namely, p53, p63 and p73, have over one billion years of evolutionary history. Advances in computational biology and genomics are enabling studies of the complexities of the molecular evolution of p53 protein family to decipher the underpinnings of key biological conditions spanning from cancer through to various metabolic and developmental di...

Reduced-stringency DNA reassociation conditions allow low stability duplexes to be detected in prokaryotic, plant, fish, avian, mammalian, and primate genomes. Highly diverged families of sequences can be detected in avian, mouse, and human unique sequence dNAs. Such a family has been described among twelve species of birds; based on species specific melting profiles and fractionation of sequen...

Spouses' emotional ties to family early in marriage are linked to marital outcomes, but little is known about how these ties affect marital stability and whether these effects vary by race and gender. The present study examines the links between emotional ties to family of origin and in-laws in the first year of marriage and marital stability over the first 16 years of marriage. Data were colle...

In this paper we examine the linkage of male-dominant family law systems and levels of nation-state security and stability. We expect such societies to be predisposed to parasitical rent-seeking and inefficiency, combined with coercive conflict resolution, resulting in higher levels of violence within the society. We demonstrate empirically that states with inequitable family law also exhibit h...

OBJECTIVE To examine the relations of sociodemographic factors and infant neurobehaviors to maternal confidence in China. METHODS The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale, Family APGAR, and Maternal Confidence in Caring for the Newborn scales were administered to 40 healthy, full-term neonates. RESULTS Range and regulation of state, autonomic stability, and reflex cluster scores w...
