We consider electrical circuits containing linear resistances, capacitances, inductances. The circuits can be described by differential-algebraic input-output systems, where the input consists of voltages of voltage sources and currents of current sources and the output consists of currents of voltage sources and voltages of current sources. We generalize a characterization of asymptotic stabil...

Tracking of an absolutely continuous reference signal (assumed bounded with essentially bounded derivative) is considered in the context of a class of nonlinear, single-input, single-output, dynamical systems modelled by functional differential equations satisfying certain structural hypotheses (which, interpreted in the particular case of linear systems, translate into assumptions – ubiquitous...

Funnels are open magnetic structures connecting the chromosphere with the solar corona (Axford & McKenzie 1997; Marsch & Tu 1997; Hackenberg et al. 1999). We investigate the stationary plasma flow out of funnels with a flux-tube model. The funnel area function is derived from an analytical 2-D magnetic field model. Since the funnel height is only approximately 15 Mm, the area function for great...

E-learning is the application of information technology in the teaching and learning process. This paper presents the Funnel model as a solution for the problems of implementation of E-learning in tertiary education institutions. While existing models such as TAM, theory-based E-learning and pedagogical model have been used over time, they generally been found to be inadequate because of their ...

Studies of intermolecular energy landscapes are important for understanding protein association and adequate modeling of protein interactions. Landscape representation at different resolutions can be used for the refinement of docking predictions and detection of macro characteristics, like the binding funnel. A representative set of protein-protein complexes was used to systematically map the ...

Lindgren funnel traps baited with aggregation pheromones are widely used to monitor and manage populations of economically important bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae). This study was designed to advance our understanding of how funnel trap catches assess bark beetle communities and relative abundance of individual species. In the second year (2005) of a 3-yr study of the bark beetle communi...

In this research, we evaluate the effectiveness of the buying funnel as a model for understanding consumer interaction with keyword advertising campaigns on web search engines. We analyze data of nearly 7 million records from a 33 month, $56 million (US) search engine marketing campaign of a major US retailer. We classify key phrases used in this campaign into stages of the buying funnel (i.e.,...

Australian funnel-web spiders are generally considered the most dangerous spiders in the world, with envenomations from the Sydney funnel-web spider Atrax robustus resulting in at least 14 human fatalities prior to the introduction of an effective anti-venom in 1980. The clinical envenomation syndrome resulting from bites by Australian funnel-web spiders is due to a single 42-residue peptide kn...

We compared naturally baited trapping systems to synthetically baited funnel traps and fallen trap trees for suppressing preoutbreak spruce beetle, Dendroctonus rufipennis Kirby, populations. Lures for the traps were fresh spruce (Picea spp.) bolts or bark sections, augmented by adding female spruce beetles to create secondary attraction. In 2003, we compared a naturally baited system ("bolt tr...
