Previous research on attitude accessibility has found that accessible attitudes influence both visual and cognitive attention. Smith, Fazio, and Cejka (1996), for instance, found that categories towards which we have accessible attitudes are more likely to be brought to mind when assessing a related object. Research in our lab (Young & Fazio, in prep) has found evidence that not only are catego...

Input-to-state stability (ISS) of a parameterized family of discrete-time time-varying nonlinear systems is investigated. A converse Lyapunov theorem for such systems is developed. We consider parameterized families of discrete-time systems and concentrate on a semiglobal practical type of stability that naturally arises when an approximate discrete-time model is used to design a controller for...

The present paper aimed to study the effect of pairwise video check feedback (including the observation of external pattern of skill performance and performing the skill simultaneously) on the learning on acquisition and learning of eye-hand coordination skill. Computer skill of eye-hand coordination skill was the tool used in this study. 24 subjects were randomly selected and equally divided...

Recently there has been significant growth in the use of fuzzy logic in industrial and consumer products (J. Yen 1995). However, although fuzzy control has been successfully applied to many industrial plants that are mostly nonlinear systems, many critics of fuzzy logic claim that there is no such thing as a stability proof for fuzzy logic systems in closedloop control (Reznik 1997; Farinwata, ...

block-flexure is the most common mode of toppling failure in natural and excavated rock slopes. in such failure, some rock blocks break due to tensile stresses and some overturn under their own weights and then all of them topple together. in this paper, first, a brief review of previous studies on toppling failures is presented. then, the physical and mechanical properties of experimental mode...

In this paper, we introduce a new framework for interpreting the existing theoretical stability results of sparse signal recovery algorithms in practical terms. Our framework is built on the theory of constrained minimal singular values of Gaussian sensing matrices. Adopting our framework, we study the stability of two algorithms, namely LASSO and Dantzig selector. We demonstrate that for a giv...

This paper provides new summation inequalities in both single and double forms to be used in stability analysis of discrete-time systems with time-varying delays. The potential capability of the newly derived inequalities is demonstrated by establishing less conservative stability conditions for a class of linear discrete-time systems with an interval time-varying delay in the framework of line...

Nonlinear delay Caputo fractional differential equations with non-instantaneous impulses are studied and we consider the general case of delay, depending on both time state variable. The when lower limit derivative is fixed at initial time, changed end each interval action impulse studied. Practical stability properties, based modified Razumikhin method investigated. Several examples given in t...
